Likarba Apart

The staff and management were amazing, helpful, accommodating and responsive, and happy to share local tips. The place was quiet and cozy, with breathtaking views and an infinity pool that was open year round when I visited. It had all the basics, including a washer, towels, AC/heat and essential kitchen items. The city center is a short walk away, and a taxi from the waterfront costs just 100 lira if you don’t want to climb the hill. I highly recommend Likarba, it’s a great value!

Great views and a good price, and the room itself is pretty decent. Just keep in mind the apartment is on a hill if you’re walking to the town center. Recommended!

The apartment was spacious enough for two and clean, though a few things could use a little TLC. There were thoughtful basics like salt and pepper for cooking and a sponge for washing dishes, but the soap and dishwashing liquid were just foamy water. Internet was basically nonexistent. The pool was lovely, but it could use more sunbeds. A man who worked there kindly carried our bag upstairs. Getting to the room meant climbing what felt like Mount Everest. We were coming from Fethiye for a 4 night stay and had kept reception updated about our arrival time. We got there at midday, exhausted from the trip and unbearable heat, but the room wasn’t ready before the 2pm check-in, so we left our bags. When we returned at 2, nobody was at reception. After waiting in the scorching sun, the receptionist finally arrived, without a warm welcome or even an apology. When I asked to see the room, she dropped the key on the counter and said all the rooms were on the same side, which wasn’t helpful. We’d paid upfront and asked for an invoice, but the receptionist made an odd excuse and didn’t give us one. On checkout, I gave her my room number and asked again. She looked at me as if she didn’t understand what I wanted or whether I was staying there at all 😸 She called the boss, then agreed to issue the invoice but said it needed his signature and he wouldn’t be around for a few hours. I said I was fine without a signature, but she insisted it wouldn’t be valid. Then she said the printer was broken and asked me to come back in 15 min, which I did 😸 I eventually got the bill, but something felt fishy. I’d suggest the owner move this lady to the back office and limit her interaction with customers. My Turkish partner was shocked by how rude and ignorant she was. Apart from that, the stay was OK.

We love the view, and the room is clean and nice.
