Yalikavak is one of those Turkish resorts with plenty of return visitors and the Windmill Otel is understandably a popular destination. Set back from the beach front it is in a quiet location and is an unassuming but pleasant place to stay. It's bed and breakfast Turkish-style: don't expect frills but do expect good and friendly service, excellent bar snacks etc.

We were really glad to find this place and would definitely consider a return visit the next time we are in that part of Turkey. We travelled with Thomas Cook and the rep was also very helpful and the organised trips from here are varied with this tour company and well organised. Much better than those we have done with other conpanies in the same area, in my opinion.

I stayed at the hotel 15th to the 30th,Ihave been going to Yalikavak ten years,this is the best,good food, good people ,good prices,and nothing is bother to the staff.may 2006.Thank you windmill Hotel J W.

Been going to Yalikavak for ten years and have stayed at many local Hotels.

The Windmill Hotel is very comfortable but is not and neither pretends to be, anything than a 2/3 star style hotel;staff and management are extremely helpful and friendly. This is a traditional style Turkish property and should be enjoyed as such.bIt is conveniently situated on level ground close to beach, facilities and village centre. I have enjoyed staying here on several occasions and will visit again in 2006.

Have been to Yalikavak for the past 6 summer holidays, four times of which was spent at the Windmill Hotel and there is a group of 16 of us going back in June 2006 - all return visitors.

The hotel has had new owners for the last two summers and they have made some nice improvements.

The hotel is down a side road 1 minute walk from the beach and 3-5 minutes depending on how fast you walk from the main shops, restaurants and harbour (great boat trips). The hotel is very private but you dont feel isolated.

The rooms are set around the pool and this is one of the best features of the hotel, although not the largest of pools the hotel only accommodates approx 35 people max so it never feels crowded.

Hotel rooms overlook the pool or back onto the hotel behind, I prefer these rooms - they dont get the morning sun so it is easier to sleep in.

My only negative comment would be that the stairs to the upper rooms are made of stone/concrete and are not the best after a few beers or if you have trouble with your legs.
