We stayed in the Oriental Suite, and it was absolutely stunning. The suite featured a beautiful terrace with breathtaking views of the beach and sea, a private hammam room, and a sauna. It was the only bedroom suite located within the spa building, so whenever we wanted a massage or treatment, we simply took the elevator downstairs! What a luxurious experience! The service at the hotel was exceptional, far surpassing anything we’ve encountered in the US. Our personal ambassador, Nursel, was extraordinary, making us feel completely cared for throughout our stay. I appreciated having a single point of contact for any questions or requests, allowing us to build a relationship over the course of our vacation. The beach was spectacular, the pool was lovely, and the spa treatments were excellent. The restaurants were often situated right on the water, offering very fresh food. A substantial buffet breakfast was included in our stay. The only aspect that didn’t meet our expectations was the cocktails—they were pricey (30 euros) and, despite several attempts, we didn’t find any we truly enjoyed. Perhaps we were just unlucky. In summary, be prepared to spend a significant amount beyond the room (restaurants, cocktails, spa, etc.), but if the cost isn’t an issue, this was truly a 5-star experience in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The service, in particular, was outstanding (special thanks to Nursel!). If we have the opportunity to return to this part of the world, we would definitely stay here again!

This beach is meant to be a protected nature area, but it is completely overrun with garbage left behind by countless tourists. The beaches, the surrounding environment, and the water are all polluted, evident from the visible oil and fuel residue left by the numerous tourist boats. Additionally, the prices at the shops, bars, and cafés are unreasonably high considering the quality they offer. Shade is scarce, and the majority of people here are either rowdy tourists or families with noisy children. We have no intention of returning. A much more enjoyable way to appreciate this once beautiful beach is by taking a paragliding flight and admiring it from above.

This beach is a tranquil spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the crowds. The water is crystal clear and inviting.

A picturesque natural cove located in a protected area from waves and wind. Car entrance 150 lira (paid by card only). In afternoon finding a parking spot can be quite challenging, but if you are coming in the morning there is possible to find a place for car even in the shadow. The beach with all amenities, there is a bar with reasonable prices. If you are not planning to rent a sunbed, then it is better to come before the afternoon, since in this case you will be able to find a place in the shade under the trees. The beach is pebbly but the entrance to the water is sandy. At the main part of the beach the depth does not start sharply, but if you swim just a little then there is very deeply and the water of unusual turquoise color. The swimming area is quite large, buoys limiting yachts are at a sufficient distance from the shore. If you will walk along the shore to the parked boats zone, you can admire how sharply the color of the water changes due to the difference in depth, which in some places is almost at the shore.

The showers are not functional, which is completely unacceptable. Getting to the ocean without getting injured is quite difficult due to numerous slippery stones in the shallow areas. Additionally, the floating pier needs proper maintenance and repairs in order to provide a safe pathway. In general, it was an unpleasant experience, except for the cafe.

We drove to a specific location and then walked. It might be difficult to find for someone unfamiliar with the area. To reach the beach, you have to navigate very steep and slippery paths. There are no facilities in the bay, but it is incredibly beautiful. The sea was wavy when we visited.
