"Nice hotel at sea side"

"A wonderful, relaxing stay at Gaia by the Sea. It’s been everything we could have asked for. All of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Friendly attentive service, dinner reservations, transportation, everything was faultless. We loved our very stylish rooms with the plunge pools with thermal waters overlooking the ocean.And the hyper local Turkish breakfast was delicious. Thank you everyone at Gaia by the Sea, especially Jon, Zeynep, Farid and Burak."

"We are an elderly couple, 61 and 62 years old. We spent three unforgettable days at the hotel in January 2026. The thermal pools are magnificent. It's recommended not to stay in them for longer than 15 minutes. Both are 40-41 degrees Celsius. One is indoors and has powerful jets like a jacuzzi, while the other is outdoors! And that's charming! Everyone else is in jackets, but you're swimming in hot water with a view of a palm tree! There's also a separate kids' pool with slides and an adult pool. The water in these is 31 degrees and not mineral water. There's a communal hammam and a private one for a foam scrub. I wasn't too impressed with the hammam – the marble table was barely warm. The staff were beyond praise. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Diverse and delicious. I wanted to try everything! I don't know, maybe if you stayed for a month, you might get tired of it. But we were very satisfied. It was cool, so we just went to the sea to see the beach. Great white sand. There are three outdoor pools on the property. Two for swimming, one for fountains. In the evening, we saw a robot cleaner crawling in one of the outdoor pools. I also had a 50-minute Balinese massage. A sweet Indonesian masseuse. She seemed to like my light hair. Towards the end of the massage, she stroked it for a long time, then braided it into two pigtails, and then into one. Funny. I wouldn't say it was a super massage. She worked on my feet and hands, but the rest was just stroking. For attractions in the area, there are Alacati and Cesme. Since we had a car, it was a five-minute drive to both. The hotel parking, by the way, is shared with the adjacent water park. Generally, when you step out of the hotel, there isn't much to walk around. Just a street. Alacati is 5 km away, you could walk if you wanted to, but it would be along a busy road. Overall, the hotel left the most pleasant impressions, even though it's not brand new. The bathroom doors were a bit worn, but the plumbing worked flawlessly. So, what do I care about the doors? The beds were comfortable. The view from the balcony was amazing. The only drawback, perhaps, was the lack of YouTube on the TV. Everything else was great. There was even live music in the lobby on weekends."

"Amazing resort"

"Spotlessly clean hotel and rooms, top-notch service at every turn, and friendly staff. The sea had a perfectly warm temperature that we thoroughly enjoyed every day. The hotel is also in an excellent location – nice and quiet, yet close to the center of Alacati. The breakfast buffet was very diverse, clean, and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back here! Had a fantastic holiday."

"Upon arriving at the hotel in the evening, a man immediately came out to help with our luggage, and the woman in charge of breakfast was also very welcoming. The hotel is a bit far from the beach, so we drove there ourselves. The hotel's decor is a bit dated, and there were only two rolls of toilet paper as disposable amenities, so you need to bring your own disposable slippers."

"We had a fantastic experience at this hotel. It offers luxurious amenities, impeccable and warm service, and elegantly decorated rooms with a blend of historic charm and modern facilities. We were here to celebrate my 60th birthday with other family members and KestelInn delivered an amazing event, leaving us with many wonderful memories. We were able to have a farm to table dining experience at their private olive farm for my birthday dinner. The food was superb and everything about the special evening exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail in each aspect of the experience truly sets it apart. All the staff, particularly Burcu and Omer went over and beyond to help make our stay and my birthday enjoyable. Breakfast was a feast, with a number of delicious options to choose from and we loved eating this in the serene garden courtyard. Alacati is a wonderful destination and we also recommend the nearby Fava restaurant. The hotel has a very secure and safe environment. Thank you so much for making our trip and my birthday memorable. We loved KestelInn and can't wait to stay here again one day! Highly recommend this hotel!!"
