I'll start by saying many aspects of this hotel were amazing - the room, cleanliness, very helpful and kind staff and the sea access / bathing platforms. Other aspects let it down slightly. Management / owners were the only people who frequented the bar or around the pool - you rarely saw hotel guests frequenting these areas because of the very expensive prices. Breakfast was ok, service was a little relaxed and there was often a need to request bowls / spoons / milk / coffee etc. We noted a few maintenance issues but in general the public areas were well maintained. The TV in room had one channel, we would have appreciated the ability to get international news but I suppose that added to the relaxed vibe! The hill and terraces mean that this hotel isn't suited to those with mobility issues but that could be said for many places on the peninsula. We loved the setting and didn't mind a walk up the short steep hill for the Dolmus into town. If we had, we could have opted for a taxi. Top tips : consider making a reservation at Oburus Momus for dinner - it is within walking distance and the sunsets are to die for. The hotel next door has reasonably priced cocktails at the hotel bar and the beach bar. We would return as despite a few shortcomings the positives definitely outweighed any negatives for us,

“Nice hotel with lovely views.”

Just spent 10 nights here in the Gold Room. Lovely room, very clean and airy. Cleaned daily, fresh towels, toiletries and additional beach towel for the pool sun beds.

Just spent 10 nights here in the Gold Room. Lovely room, very clean and airy. Cleaned daily, fresh towels, toiletries and additional beach towel for the pool sun beds. Mini bar - the charges are on a QR code on the hostess tray. Be aware that the Nespresso coffee pods are chargeable - so take your own (the regular ones, not the large ones). Good WiFi too. Breakfast is good traditional Turkish and the same every day with a choice of eggs, coffee, tea. No juices. The bread was sadly the part bake type rolls rather than the usual fresh bread you get. Be aware that any other coffee other than filter coffee is chargeable. It doesn’t say that anywhere. We didn’t order additional food or drinks whilst we were there as it’s ridiculously expensive. £9 for a cappuccino. The Riva Bar 30 seconds away is half the price. Staff are very kind and helpful, but limited English. Google translate works well. They were very generous in giving us a bottle of wine and fruit basket on our arrival as it was our wedding anniversary. That was really lovely. The Dolmus is running currently once an hour and is 30tlr pp. Taxi currently 300tlr as of 26/5. We’ve been to Kas many times and stayed in many hotels on the peninsula. This is good, and if it wasn’t so expensive to eat/drink on site we would return.

“Could be so much better”

We booked this hotel through Jet2 Holidays. It is a nice hotel but really I don't think it was ready for guests and the pictures on line are I would say enhanced so its not quite as nice as described. We stayed in a standard roof room which to be honest was tired . It needed a paint and a refresh. … more

We booked this hotel through Jet2 Holidays. It is a nice hotel but really I don't think it was ready for guests and the pictures on line are I would say enhanced so its not quite as nice as described. We stayed in a standard roof room which to be honest was tired . It needed a paint and a refresh. The safe wasn't working , there was no QR code for the mini bar , no information about the hotel in the room. The deck area was broken as was the sun screen on the balcony. Sometimes it was cleaned sometimes it wasn't . It was all a bit hit and miss. The spa was not available although the prices list did appear at reception on the day we were going home. When we asked about it the waiter simply shrugged. All this a little disappointing, but the view is lovely and in honesty we only slept in our room. It was a good size . Breakfast is served outside . The first day it was a buffet breakfast but was very limited , from then on we had a Turkish breakfast service to the table which was very nice but no juice is served and the fruit offering is very limited. We spent some time down on the deck by the sea but again it was bit help yourself, we asked for umbrella one day and then put them away and got them again the next day as no service was provided by the sea. The beach bar was out of use and a bit scruffy , There were no offers of drinks etc. We ate lunch at the hotel on the first day and were shocked that we were charged nearly £70 for a shared salad and calamari with 2 glasses of wine. Similarly we were shocked to find that 2 coffees came to £18.00. Suffice to say we did not eat or consume any drinks at the hotel. For lunch we went across the road to Riva and had a lovely lunch with 2 glasses of wine for the same cost of 2 coffees. You eat in the garden area over looking the sea it is very pleasant. I think the hotel really need to look at their prices as you feel like you are being ripped off. The hotel is well located for Kas. Reception staff will order a taxi which takes about 5 minutes to get into town. The town is lovely, very traditional and packed with lots of bars and restaurants all serving great food. We took the ferry one day over to Greece to a tiny island with a population of 300. The ferry only takes about 25 minutes and we had a lovely day. We also took a boat trip from the harbour to the sunken city with lots of stops for swims . I would definitely recommend it. We would return to Kas but would try a different hotel next time.
