The hotel is located a bit away from the main port (with boats, restaurants and the market), so the place is quieter and one even can sit on a chair on the lawn in front of the hotel undisturbed (and pat a dog or talk with a cat if so inclined). Of course, there are balconies and we spent a lot of time on both. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful whenever they could. The breakfasts were opulent and very tasty: in addition to the full Turkish breakfasts with cheese, bread, fried bread (pisi), olives and greens ad tea one can have coffee, omelets, menemen etc. etc., served in the beautiful surroundings of an atrium. Walking to the port with its many restaurants and the sea takes a few minutes. To get to the beaches - or to places further apart - buses (dolmuses) run right from the port very often from ca. 7 AM till late at night. Some of the restaurants at Cunda Merkez (the port center) are amazing, the food delicious and plentiful. There is a large selection regarding both price - normally, menus are not hanged up in front - and character of the restaurants- we were never really disappointed, but one should spend some time testing what one likes the best. For access to archeological and historical sites, Cunda is a little far away, it may be best for people (like us, this year) who wanted peace and quiet. (We were able to see Bergama (ancient Pergamon), Troy and Izmir, but spent more time on buses than at the actual places.) Also the (best) beaches take a little time to get to: whether on Cunda itself or in Ayvalik. But if one is willing to start early or if one does not need full 12 hours on the sun bad (which is not healthy anyway) this is not a problem.
