Hotel terbaik di Kalkan

So we booked this gem of a hotel on our first trip to kalkan and our first trip to Turkey. We were very happy that we did. We will definitely go back. Not a lot of English in the hotel (plenty of English down in the town), but everyone was lovely and friendly. Lovely room, fantastic views, lovely decor. Great gym (small), but it has got most things in it. Free clean pool towels every day. The pool was a salt water pool, a lovely size with a jacuzzi, and a seating area in the pool to chat with people. A small walk down the hill to the sea and the hotel give you free passes for sun beds and umbrells, there is also a lovely restaurant there as well. The hotel is on a steep hill, but we walked it most days. We also walked into town, which was a lovely walk, and took around 25 minutes. There are lots of steep hills everywhere, so if you like walking, this will be great for you. If not, the wonderful staff can book you a cab (about £4 to town). They also booked us restaurants and couldn't do enough for us. Bar staff was fantastic, even stayed open till we came back from the town or other restaurants for our last drink/drinks. If the cocktail we wanted wasn't on the menu, they would look it up and make it for us. They also played the music you asked for from YouTube. Restaurant staff fantastic. The manager and his wife couldn't do enough for us and tried so hard to make us feel very special and welcoming. We didn't eat there in the evening as there were so many lovely restaurants around but we did have breakfast and lunch at the hotel which was lovely. I'm celiac, and they catered for me aswell. Also, there is a shop 5 mins up the road which has gluten-free items (biscuits, crisps, bread, rolls etc. )

I've been coming to Kalkan for 24 years and this is probably the one hotel I would not be happy to return to. The bed was very hard (and I like a firm bed) and uncomfortable. It had one cover which didn't fit and the air-con was not user-friendly. Unfortunately leaving the balcony door open was not feasible as you are 50 yards or so away from the very noisy night clubs which pound away until 2 am. The shower floods the bathroom every time, probably because the drains aren't cleaned. Towels were plentiful but cleaning was pretty eratic. Breakfasts were a bit meagre/hit & miss, easily the worst I've come across though the view from the terrace is wonderful. The lady who manages the reception area was excellent, very helpful and friendly but sadly this alone isn't enough to tempt me back.

If you are looking to stay in Kalkan and are questioning where... Stop now..... We have stayed in the Hotel Regency and The Lykia Spa Hotel to name a few in Kalkan.... The Rhapsody is absolutely perfectly ran this small boutique hotel is a beautiful blend of family run but professionally presented the rooms are beautifully kept and aircon is amazing for those really balmy nights... The views from the balcony are the best in Kalkan... Breathtaking whilst taking that morning coffee... Breakfast is stunning and prepared fresh every day... Beds and linen soooooo comfortable and the best shower and hot water we have experienced in the 10 years in Kalkan holidays... Location is 10 min walk to beach clubs and harbour and 5 mins to resteraunts and cafes... It really doesn't get much better than this... The manager here at this hotel knows what she is doing and is on site at all times every day and her staff are family to her and it shows as everyone wants to do an amazing job and does ... Don't question your choice this hotel is a real find.. We will be returning next year 100 percent... Maybe Oct this year if we can.... Congratulations to all at the Rhapsody and thankyou for helping us recover from a very tough 6 months... We will be back thank you xxx

Son zamanlarda yaptığım en keyifli tatili Fidanka’da yaptığımı söyleyebilirim. Kalabalık otelleri sevmiyor ama konforunuza da çok önem veriyorsanız burası biçilmiş kaftan. Otelin kurucusu olan hanımefendi ve çocukları her şeye o kadar özenmişler ki takdir etmemek elde değil. Herkesle tek tek ilgilenen Gülfiz Hanım’ın güler yüzü, çalışan arkadaşların yardımseverliği Fidanka’ya tekrar gitmek için önemli sebepler. Ayrıca mutfağındaki nefis yemekler de cabası. Dört gün boyunca hiç dışarıda yemek yemek istemedik. Düşünüyorum ama olumsuz bir şey söyleyemiyorum. Tekrar gitmek için fırsat kolluyorum.

We stayed for 11 days in early May and we were very pleased with the hotel. It's small, very clean and staffed by friendly and helpful people. I have been in 5 star hotels in the past which were not as good as The Samira Exclusive. Rooms were cleaned every day and towels were changed; the towels were very good quality, thick and fluffy and bering the hotel's insignia. The only not so good points are the WIFI, which can be temperamental and the breakfast which was underwhelming. Breakfast consisted of mainly cold salads, boiled eggs and two warm (never hot enough) dishes; these were usually chopped local sausages mixed with peppers, and potatoes or occasionally baked beans. If you wanted eggs cooked any other way it would cost extra, this seemed a little petty; the bread however was very good. We didn't eat there in the evenings but I understand from others that the quality of the menu at that time was very good. We had a late evening flight home and asked about the possibility of extending our check out by a few hours, this cost us £40, which I feel is quite steep. The hotel was quite empty when we arrived but began to fill up as the season progressed and I can see possible problems in the high season with queues in the restaurant which is small and finding beds around the pool. Of course we already saw people rising at cock crow to claim beds with their towels and often these beds were hardly used, this is something the hotel should clamp down on. There is no lift either so the hotel is only accessible to the able bodied. Kalkan itself is very impressive; it's extremely picturesque, surrounded by hills and peppered with small winding cobbled streets full of restaurants and art shops, no sign of the usual tourist 'tat'. It is very steep though and I wouldn't recommend it to disabled people or those with small children and push chairs. It is also very expensive, eating out cost us about the same as we would pay to eat out in the UK. People who were frequent visitors told us the prices has almost doubled in the last year or two since Covid. Would I recommend it? Definitely, and I would return to the Samira Exclusive but it would be nice to see the points I have raised being addressed.

Just returned from our stay at Saray Suites wow what an amazing hotel ! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we got treated like royalty by all the amazing staff.
