“I got exactly what I expected.”
I had read the reviews before the trip and knew what to expect; I was choosing between an apartment and a modest hotel, so I went with the latter because the sea was my priority and I barely stayed in the room. My mother, my 11‑year‑old child and I stayed 12 nights, arriving at 9:00 AM, and the manager Isa immediately sent us to breakfast and checked us in. We appreciated his attentiveness and care. The hotel is old and needs renovation, but it is clean throughout. Plumbing and AC worked, and there was space on the balcony to dry clothes and towels. Our room was cleaned on request. Beach towels aren’t provided and can’t be taken from the hotel, but you can buy one nearby for under $5. Staff are very friendly and responsive. The meal selection met my needs completely—I wasn’t expecting a huge buffet, but the food was always fresh and we were always full and satisfied. The path to the beach is about 500 m, which took us less than 5 minutes to walk. The entry into the sea is stony, so if walking on pebbles is uncomfortable, I recommend water shoes (though I personally enjoyed the natural foot massage!). The sea itself is clean and warm—we visited in late September, and the water temperature was 27–28 °C, with incredible views of the mountains from the water. A huge plus of this hotel is the absence of loud animation, discos, or noisy music; the music playing was always neutral and instrumental, without any Russian songs or drunk parties. Near the hotel, there are supermarkets, a nice promenade for walking, a cave, and a wild beach—definitely worth exploring for the beautiful views. The Lycian Way and Göynük Canyon are also close by. Wi‑Fi at the hotel was unreliable and sometimes stopped working (costs €2/day). I used a roaming package from my mobile provider, so I recommend securing a good roaming option beforehand if you need a stable connection. The hotel is old and needs renovation. The designated beach area is quite small, and some sun loungers are damaged. Beach maintenance could be improved; there is no dedicated staff member managing the loungers, so guests from other hotels sometimes take them. Unfortunately, many people smoke on the beach and leave cigarette butts in the sand.
