The hotel lived up to my expectations. A friendly and courteous staff led by Deniz and Ahmet ensured an enjoyable stay. The rooms are well appointed with good airconditioning - everything works! Of an evening, the view from the roof terrace dining area is quite spectacular and forms a romantic backdrop to the whole dining experience. The oasis-like pool area, with adequate shade from the sometimes searing heat at this time of year, is a pleasant and tranquil bolt-hole from where to while away the hot afternoon hours.
The dining menu provides a reasonable selection of dishes - though I think it would benefit from one or two mainstream Turkish dishes (kebabs I guess) and from some mezze - Yaprak Dolma, Biber Dolma, and Borek would have been nice additions.
The 20 minute walk into town is initailly a little barren as one meanders through an area where locals live and where retail outlets are 'functional'. This pretty soon livens up as you hit the main tourist drag replete with souveneir shops, kebab restaurants, street vendors and the like. The taxi fare back to the hotel is apparently YTL 10 - though I managed to walk back with minimal effort - at the right time of day.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to others.
