Our stay at Derin Alaçatı was honestly a 10/10 from start to finish.
Check-in was incredibly quick, and within minutes of arriving we were shown to our room. The room was spotless, and housekeeping kept it that way every day. Our private garden and pool were beautiful. As it’s surrounded by trees, there were occasionally a few leaves in the pool and some solid pieces at the bottom of the swimming floor, which was completely understandable and never an issue.
The complimentary breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. There was no menu—the chef prepared something different every morning, making each breakfast unique. Every dish was beautifully presented, tasted amazing, and you could really tell the quality and care that went into it. It felt like dining at a top restaurant every morning.
The staff were exceptional. Despite the language barrier, everyone was incredibly kind and always happy to help. They even found us a UK plug adapter after we forgot ours. A special thank you to Lara for her kindness and friendliness throughout our stay, and to the manager/owner for making us feel so welcome. Her lovely dog Mila was also a highlight!
Our only small criticisms are that the rooms are very compact with limited storage, and the soundproofing is really bad, as we could hear guests at night. The privacy was very limited.
Overall, we had an unforgettable stay and would happily return. I highly recommend Derin Alaçatı to anyone visiting Alaçatı.
