We stayed at the Escape Hotel in September while attending the wedding of some friends. We found the hotel while surfing the web one night and thought it looked amazing which it was.
In the run up to our visit the owners couldn't have been more helpful. On hearing we were coming for a wedding they offered to book hair appointments, recommended car hire companies etc.
On arrival we were shown to a beautiful, spotless room next to the pool with a choice of pillows, plenty of towels, bath-robes and tea and coffee making facilities which were the best I've ever seen. The fridge contained a really good selection of full-sized drinks which were charged for at about the same prices as you'd pay in a corner shop here - definitely very reasonable.
The hotel is built into the side of a hill and the views are amazing. It was peaceful and felt very close to nature and Turkey. We saw the goat-herd and his goats wander by in the morning and evenings, there were eagles and dragon-flies and olive trees - idyllic.
Despite being out of Gocek it only took 5 minutes in a car to get there. Susan, the owner was wonderful and dropped us into the town when we needed to go and a taxi back was only the equivalent of a few pounds. That said we were some of the first guests and out of the peak time so when this gem of a hotel is running at full steam it will be difficult for the owners to do as much running around for guests. It is probably best to have a car which is what we will do next time.
The food was great and again very reasonably priced. Breakfast is included and we were offered: cereals, fresh fruit, local cheeses, fresh bread, honey, jams, cold meats, yoghurts and omelettes. We had light lunches and two freshly prepared evening meals all to a very high standard and very reasonably priced. There is an honesty bar with a good choice and fair prices.
On our last night we took fresh coffee out and watched shooting stars, the perfect end to a perfect break in a perfect hotel. I really do hope that this hotel is the success it deserves to be. Thank you for making our time so special.

My wife Sandra and I were staying with friends in Turkey and decided to thank them for their hospitality by treating them and ourselves to a short break at The Escape. The hotel was magnificent standing at the head of a beautiful valley with stunning views. We found the peace of the place very relaxing. The accomodation and the food were excellent and the hospitality from Sue was second to none. We departed feeling refreshed and would certainly recommend The Escape for a quiet relaxing holiday.

Dominic and I were fortunate to book the Escape for our holiday this year. As we were lucky enough to have the opportunity of a week on our own without the children we looked for an adults only hotel to escape from other peoples’ children too. We were not disappointed with the Escape, this is a really fantastic holiday destination.
The entire week was one of complete relaxation. The owners of the Escape, Chris and Susan gave us a holiday that we shall never forget. The Escape is located in a beautiful valley, the views from the hotel and the sunsets are truly amazing. The food was delicious and the attention to detail in our room was second to none. Gocek itself is a stunning marina with views equalling anything that we have seen in other parts of the world.
We have already booked another week for next year and have told lots of our friends and family about the Escape, where peace, tranquillity and no kids are guaranteed – in short the Escape does exactly what it says on the tin.
