Kas review Hello from Australia🇦🇺 Such a beautiful resort🥰 The online photos is what you get. It’s peaceful & quiet with its own private access to the sea (no need to go to the public beach up the road which gets really busy). The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Our room and the facilities of the resort were clean and well-maintained which is really important to us. I LOVE how each room has its own private pool which is a luxury in Türkiye resorts. The Coral Room was spacious and airy with a comfortable mattress. I didn’t mind the mirror over the bed. The balcony seating was comfy with uninterrupted views of the sea and mountains. The private swimming pool was the big seller for us. It was clean and had beautiful lighting in it at night which can be turned on/off from a switch inside the room. Mini bar contains a variety of the usual items, some of which we used. It was pricey though so we bought from a local convenience store as well. Loved the room service which we used for lunch time and really enjoyed. Breakfast is complimentary and delicious. All other meals are offered but expensive for us. We did have dinner at the resort the first night though (since we were too tired to go out) but we don’t regret it. It was delicious and they gave us a complimentary small entree. The resort has a small but sufficient lunch and dinner menu but I would have liked to see more Turkish Cuisine offered over the Western Cuisine. We chose to have dinner at town for the remaining nights due to our budget. The Kas town is a 5 minute drive with no traffic. It gets REALLY busy towards the evening including traffic jams (about after 6pm) so have dinner early if you want to avoid this, or pick-up/have delivered some take-away dinner and have at the comfort of your room. My recommendations to hotel: - Bottom half of balcony glass of each room frosted for extra privacy - Rooms need more sound-proofing so replacing doors with some sound proof seals can help to keep embarrassing noises in the room 👀 - Extraction in bathroom to reduce humidity. There is a small window but no netting so mosquitoes and other flying insects can come flying in if left open for much-needed ventilation. - There were a few times during the day in which we wanted to order a cold drink but some items were strangely not available like a mocktail and iced frappe. We were told there was staffing issues, which we understand- but it is a five-star resort… it must be possible to have back-ups or multi-skilled staff? - Young staff are attentive and friendly but some may need a little more training as some of them were slow to set up the breakfast buffet especially when one of the days it was opened 15 minutes late. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worker place the serving spoons out slower than the young girl did. I felt like getting up and doing it for her : / (that’s the hunger talking btw) - Any official laundry service? I did ask but it seemed there wasn’t any official laundry service, but they said they may be able to offer it. I think an official laundry service for customers is beneficial especially for those staying for an extended period.

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,
