Yeterli

Odalar temiz, resepsiyon hizmetini beğendik 14:30 da gelip hemen odaya alındık, kahvaltı yeterli, sahile 50 m, otele yakın plaj güzel, şezlong isterseniz otel müşterisi bile olsanız 30 TL olduğu bilgisini aldık. Kısa konaklamalar için temiz ve yeterli bir otel.

Very unique property close to the water with a charming fireside space in the lobby. I think the whole area has been closed due to covid for some time—the beach area was deserted and I couldn’t find an open restaurant while I was there. It seems the hotel hasn’t had many guests for some time, so just be aware that this is more of an "off-the-beaten path experience." Bring your own food, your own shampoo/soap, etc. For me it was exactly what I needed: a quiet retreat in a corner of the world where I could enjoy being alone. The average travel might expect more tho.

Sıkıntısız

Konum itibariyle denize oldukça yakın ve plajda işletmeye ait şezlonglar mevcut. Can Bey çok yardımsever. İşletme sahibi Oğuz Bey ise kadirşinas, muhabbeti tatlı. Terasta vakit geçirmenizi öneririm.

Sıcacık konaklama

Daha önce görmediğim bir konseptleri var. Kahvaltı saatini kaçırdım şansımı denemek adına kahvaltıyı sordum. Tak kahvaltı geldi. Müşteri gibi değil de evlerine gelen misafiri ağırlıyor gibi davranıyorlar. Gündüz akşam yemekte ne istersiniz diye soruyor akşam istediğiniz yemeği istediğiniz saatte ev yemeği gibi servis ediyorlar. Odada televizyon yoktu ama hizmet o kadar iyi ki eksikliği gözünüz görmüyor bile. Kesinlikle tekrar geleceğim.

Güler yüzlü, mükemmel hizmet

İş sebebiyle olan seyahatimde konaklama fırsatı buldum, Monk ailesinin evinde. Evinde diyeceğim çünkü gerçekten bu ailenin evine misafir olmuş gibi bir sıcak karşılama görüyorsunuz. Odalar da ev sıcaklığında, bahçeleri harika. Zaten ailece işletiyorlar, güler yüzlü tatlı çocukları, tatlı köpekleri ile sıcacık bir yuva adeta. Erken kalkmam gerektiği için kahvaltı saati dışındaki bir saatte bile kalkıp hazırladıkları için ise tekrar teşekkür ediyorum. Umarım tekrar konaklama fırsatı bulurum.
