Caretta Hotel

Pros * Beautiful bay view * Cheap, much cheaper than staying in the old town * Breakfast was good, fast and varied * Beach club pretty (but a bit rundown now) Cons * No water or cold drink with breakfast * No info about the hotel or area on arrival, in fact staff generally just not very helpful or welcoming - made me feel a bit uncomfortable. * The room wasn’t made unless I asked, even then they didn’t change towels/sheets at all just refolded, didn’t empty bin or replace toilet roll so twice we had to go and ask for more which was embarrassing. * Electrics go off when you take the key out meaning fridge doesn’t stay cold * Dogs frequently barking through the night * No lighting walking up the track back to the hotel at night Overall, as a place to lay your head it’s fine but I wouldn’t go back.

Terribly dissatisfied. This could be a nice hotel but requires an urgent change in management. The worst bit was the stench from the bathroom - I went in in the morning and wanted to vomit. The electrics are dodgy, the furniture tired and the cleaning lacking. Breakfast was basic and unappealing- some old bread with little packets of jam, butter and honey and some unwashed tomatoes. We didn’t see any cleaners around and that showed - it could be a lovely place given the location but it was so unpleasant we couldn’t wait to go.

Authentic place built and located on rocks coast of Kalkan city. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere in the hotel with great owner Murat-bey and his lovely staff. Special thanks to Muratbey, Yagmur, Maia, Koba and other lovely staff. Enjoyed every moment of my stay in hotel. Breakfast was very good, especially borek, white cheese. The place is staying aside of the main town which is great benefit for quietness, but at a reach of 10-15 min walk to downtown.
