"Aileme hediye ettiğim bir gecelik konaklamaydı. Bu konuda bana yeterince yardımcı oldular. Rahat ve güzeldi. Mükemmel değil ama tercih edilebilir. Hesaplı, rahat. Park yeri yoktu yakında bir yere park ettik ve sorun yaşanmadı. İletişim hızlıydı, problem çözmeye odaklıydılar. Ailem ve ben teşekkür ederiz. "
"It is a very nice hotel, beautifully designed, newly built, with solid construction and very nice decor. The room was spacious and clean and comfortable.The restaurant is very cozy and they serve great pizza and salads. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing negative about our two night stay here."
"Excellent room, highly recommend, friendly staff.
Whilst I stayed here, there was an earthquake on 27.10.25. Despite this, the hotel is very stable and I felt comfortable knowing that it had been well built to ensure things like this! "
"The owners were VERY gracious and understanding even after my very late arrival. They offered me a choice of upgraded rooms and even an extra blanket for the chilly night. The views are amazing. The hotel is elevated and set back from the main road - there was no street noise. Breakfast was very impressive, including a choice of what seemed like 3 home-made jams. "
"Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room with partial sea view was spacious. Shower gel dispenser didn't work properly. There was loud live music coming from the restaurant nextdoor at night. Breakfast was served right by the sea. "
