Garden Life Hotel

Such a gorgeous place. We booked one night, then added another. Still hard to believe how lovely it is 😌😌😌

We chose September for a quiet, relaxing break, and the clean communal pool was just the right size and very well cared for. The Tiny House style rooms were clean and functional, and as a family we had lots of room on the veranda and in the palm-filled garden. We could spend time privately and comfortably. The owners were attentive and supportive, treating us like their own guests. The natural setting made the trip special, too. We ate delicious breakfasts beside the clean, cool stream flowing down from the mountains, with freshwater fish, turtles, eels, crabs, dragonflies, and colorful oriental wasps around us. It was lovely to introduce our little daughter to these animals and help her enjoy nature. We first stayed at Riverside Hotel for three days two years ago, and liked it so much that we returned for a week this year. Riverside will remain our first choice in Göcek. Best regards.

We came back to Göcek this year and stayed here again without a second thought. We’d found it after a long search last year, and Aysel and her family had made us feel so welcome. With a baby, we’re very particular about cleanliness, and both the rooms and the property are spotless, so we felt comfortable staying here. Evenings by the river with hot tea and a good chat with the owners are lovely. And don’t miss Aysel’s warm mosaic cake. We’re so glad we met you, and thank you all again ☺️🙏🏻❤️

We felt completely at home in the tiny house rooms, and as a family found the boutique setting and location wonderfully peaceful. Breakfast by the river was a treat, with a cool breeze and birdsong, followed by tea brewed in a samovar and coffee beside the pool. Mr. Servet and Ms. Aysel welcomed us like guests from far away, and their warm conversations keep drawing us back. The Turkish fried dough and homemade orange jam Ms. Aysel served at breakfast are still on my mind. We came across Riverside Hotel by chance on our first Göcek trip and returned a month later. Calling it perfect wouldn’t be an exaggeration. We really felt like we were on holiday, and hope to see you again soon!
