This is a fantastic hotel. Only 16 rooms set around an attractive pool/bar/courtyard area. It's slightly off the main drag, which makes it private and quiet. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, but give you your own 'space'. I've been there several times, and can't recommend it highly enough. There are no children so it's ideal for couples. The rooms are well appointed and kept very clean. The food at the hotel is excellent. In conclusion, if you want to feel 'at home' then the Small World Hotel is the place for you. One last word, the owner has an excellent Gulet (boat) also called the Smallworld, with 3 twin cabins, for hire for cruises if you fancy that. I do not own shares in this hotel - I wish I did!

Just back from 2 weeks at the Small World (our 4th time there for main annual holiday - and we are ‘picky’). Despite Mehmet (owner) being away since May (on business), as always we had a very pleasant stay. Not really a hotel for children (no games facilities\space and main section of pool has no shallow end) plus rooms are relatively small. The point is that this is a hotel where from breakfast till bed-time you can relax outside (in the sun or in the shade) – so it’s really a ‘chill-out’ spot for adults but conveniently near resort facilities. Owner’s family and staff - especially Murat (barman) who is very versatile - are very helpful. Already planning to return in 2008.

we went to smallworld 18th september 06,it was the final part of my Husbands 40th birthday suprises.we arrived after midnight and there was murat waiting patiently.We were shown our room then went and had a few drinks at the bar.This hotel is superb -friendly staff,good food and great company.The rooms are clean and looked after throughout your stay.Bitez in general has changed so much,we were there in 98 and it was a small village, very turkish-but welcoming.Now however its very touristy - spoilt it really but still worth a visit if you havn't been.
Its our 10th wedding anniversary next year and i do think we will be going back to Bitez and if we dont stay at Smallworld we shall go and visit everyone there.

We stayed at the small world hotel for two weeks in may and was very happy with our choice. We were recommended by someone who had stayed here last year who had said what a friendly charming place it is. We felt straight at home here , the rooms were great with enough space for two people and the pool and surrounding area is very pretty. The breakfast , which is served 8am to 10am was fine and had your typical turkish breakfast with lovely fresh melon and cherries. There was always plenty of it and always fresh. We also ate lunch and dinner here a couple of times and once again you couldnt fault it.This is a family run hotel including the dog who was the cutest dog ever and this made it more personal, you felt like you were part of the family. Murat , who is the barman , waiter , reception etc etc was fantastic and always had time to talk to you . After our first week our friends were coming out but the flight was not due to land untill 1.30am, but murat was quite happy to sit up and wait for them , and when they did arrive he kept the bar open untill 4am!!
Bitez is a lovely resort and when you go there you will often hear people saying that they have visited more than once, like ourselves. This is our third time and wont be our last as we are going back in September!! Some good places to try are Salmakis Restaurant (who are our good friends), seaside
restaurant , first stop ,and new season.
Im counting down the weeks , 14 to go !!!
