Best Hotels near Çalış Beach Camp, Foca Mahallesi

From the pictures, I expected a nice spacious pool, with childrens/splash pool. I expected a rooftop terrace/sunbathing/relaxing area and a pool table. It seems that some changes have taken place since photos were posted online as there is no splash pool or pool table and the roof terrace is a barren, unwelcoming space. The pool now has a wall built up against one side, so along with the boundary wall, means it's flanked on all sides and doesn't receive enough sun to warm the pool, so even at the end of the season, after a summer of sun, its still freezing. As in other reviews, it seems rooms vary wildly. Ours was much nicer than our friend's, but our balcony was next to useless as it was completely shaded/baracaded by creeping plants. All of this, I could let slide, bearing in mind the price paid, but the service we received was a deal breaker for us. We like to drink late, often returning from town for a couple more at the bar before bed. On our first day we asked what time the bar closed and were basically told, whenever we wanted. We returned from town at 12.30am to complete darkness. We asked if the bar could be reopened and received a flat out ”no”. On another night we arrived back at the bar when it was still open, but later on, I think somewhere between 1.30 and 2.00am it shut down. That is understandable, but we didn't like the fact that we weren't told it was closing or asked if we wanted anything else, they just turned the lights out, shut everything down and left us sitting there in the dark! Despite this, 4 members of staff were still in the vicinity, one ”night watchman” and three others sitting chatting and looking at their phones. It seems bizarre, that you wouldn't keep the bar open and take our money, if you are hanging around anyway? Most of the time we were completely ignored by the staff, no one asked us how our day was or if we were enjoying our stay. There was one exception, one guy did make more of an effort to say hello and we had a brief conversation at the bar with him once in 10 days. For these reasons, we chose not to give the hotel any of our money and took our custom elsewhere as much as we could. We reckon the hotel lost out on at least £1000 in drinks from our group. Although the hotel had its faults, its close to the beach and more than adequate, so we may well have stayed again, had the customer experience been better.

The hotel is tastefully decorated, and there is a nice aroma as soon as you enter the lobby. I was worried that it might be old, but it must have been recently renovated. The bedding is also very comfortable, and there is a pier at the door. I will consider staying at this hotel again.

We went for 1 week for our honeymoon and without our children (dream), what can I say 5* as soon as you walk through the doors. The hotel is 40 mins from Dalaman Airport, coach transfer nice and easy. Greeted at hotel with drinks and face cloth. Lady checked us in and as I told her it was our honeymoon they later arranged a bottle of bubbly, balloons and a tray of delights. Gentleman took our suitcases to our room which was in the adult only section of the hotel. Our room was lovely and clean. Everything you needed. Hairdryer, iron/ironing board, safe, speakers to listen to music. Our balcony overlooked the adult pool. They had a number of pools to try adults, kids and water slides. Although the adult pool was quite cold but that might be the time of year. Towels were provided round pool/beach so no need to bring any. Amazing cocktails to try and they will make what you want. Food in general restaurant was lovely, great variety. They also have a Chinese, Indian, Turkish, Italian and Steak house which was lovely, steak house was my favourite. Book as soon as you arrive to avoid disappointment. You do have to pay €70 for 3 of the restaurants. Also it is expected that you tip. Evening entertainment was good. A few outside acts like The Drifters/Madonna tributes then the staff put on shows. They had a quiz and silent disco then when all that stopped there was music in the piano bar. The beach was lovely with variety of water sports although we didn’t try any. They do a market boat trip every Tuesday which is free. We got a taxi to the Sunday market which worked out £20 return. I got 3 lovely bags there and my husband t shirts. The hotel was very clean, the staff very polite, food/drinks gorgeous and I couldn’t fault it. I will definitely be returning.

1) My cab left me 150mt away from the hotel because it is a pedestrian shopping zone and we had DRAG our 2 suitcases on cobble stones ”like path” for 15 mins. 2) Upon arrival had to climb 20+ steps to the reception on the first floor ...Our room was 1 floor above the reception ( another 12-15 steps more climb.Thus going out 3 or 4 x a day to beach , shopping, resto, night life etc was a challenging task for a senior citizen of 70+ YES down 35 steps and back up 4 x a day. 3) After 15 hours travel time from Europe to Turkey (left home at 3.00 am , arrived hotel at 18.30).... Even after giving them my visiting card showing my status ”President of a FINANCIAL COMPANY , (they did not take into consideration )I was VERY VERY Badly /disrespectfully greeted.!! .After the check in formalities they wanted IMMEDIATE PAYMENT....I requested for some time to see the room and freshen up then come down to pay...to our surprise WITHIN 3 MINS the receptionist was knocking at my door for payment ....I said give me time to change and will come down ... FOR THEM ”NO WAY ” different staff members came knocking at my door 4 x in 12- 15 mins . I am ”genius 3 Level ” visiting/travelling to about 12-20 hotels per year on 3 or 4 retirement holiday trips per year !! Never , NEVER seen such HUNGER for money from such pathetic poorly educated cheap people. Finally I gave up because my partner asked me to so we can be at peace and call home informing we arrived... I wrote to director and put in suggestion box suggesting to check the clients on Linkedin or google b4 arrival ...but no apology was received from them....reason I WILL NOT FORGET NOR FORGIVE THEM now. 4)The room was too small for a ”deluxe DOUBLE room” . ABOUT 17sqm 2 big Bags got in the way 2 hand carries beside the bed ...difficult to get up in the night for toilet ..MY mistake I did not check SQM of room the word ”double room & DELUXE was deceiving. 5) Bathroom was small but acceptable..had no elct/shaving socket ONLY LIKE was the location . Breakfast was ”ok ” donuts and patisseries were not of ”good quality”, were always hard and not soft with butter as we like in proper cake shops in Europe. ...this was home made and hard to digest.. had first day and tried different ones for 2 or 3 days and left unfinished on plate each time. hot food had little variey but was acceptable for a cheap 3 * hotel.. Shopping was expensive better prices in Tuesday market got some items at 1/3 price tn the market and a bag at 1/4 price restaurants were DILUTING ALL COCKTAIL DRINKS WITH WATER....and priced were expensive 12-15 euros per drink. best drink beer only as most of tourists (British, Russian etc..) were doing

October is a perfect time to visit Fethiye, and this hotel is a great choice. The reasonable fee includes a nice breakfast (traditional Turkish, or something else if you want.) Our room had a balcony that overlooked the beach as well as the walkway that parallels the beach. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was use-friendly. There are plenty of electrical outlets, and the internet is reliable. There is also a gleamingly clean pool on the road side of the hotel. I noticed it has slides and other kid-friendly stuff. The staff is professional while also being friendly. They speak Turkish and perfect English. (Maybe other languages, but I don't know.) They answered our questions and provided recommendations and information. They told us summer is extremely busy during June, July, August, and most of September, so you should reserve early if you want to go then. If you want a quieter experience, May and late September to October are good. One issue of which to be aware (this has nothing to do with the hotel) is that the chairs and umbrellas on the beach are rented by the city (the cost helps maintain the beach.) There is only one sign about this that I could see. This year the cost is 110 lira. The officials come around with a machine that provides a receipt. Don't pay any other person. You can avoid paying the fee by putting your towel and other equipment on the sand without using the umbrella or chairs. There are plenty of reasonably priced restaurants with a variety of choices (i.e. Chinese, Turkish, Italian, Indian.) There are grocery stores and stores where you can buy items you might have forgotten. The prices were very reasonable. I'm not sure if the prices increase during the summer months. When we return to Fethiye, we will return to this hotel. We were very happy with our choice.

Returned here for a few nights having last stayed here many, many many years ago. It is still ina convenient location but there have been considerable changes. It was always clean and comfortable but the rooms and lounge and dining area at the back side are much better than before. All staff made us feel welcome especially Soner who has been there since forever it seems The one-time receptionist is now the boss. He is always around and keeps his eye on all aspects of customer service. Even when in the middle of backgammon game. Ramadman is always on hand.

Bu yorumu otelden yazıyorum. Öncelikle çok temiz bir otel hergün odalar parlatılıyorlar resmen Temizlik görevlisi hanımefendiyi kutluyorum. Resepsiyonda duran görevlilerde çok ilgililer Serkan bey ve diğer hanımefendi hep güleryüzlüler. Fethiye merkeze çok yakın yürüyerek heryere ulaşım sağlanıyor. Bizim odada mutfakta vardı tencere tava çatal bıçak falan hepsi mevcut çok memnun kaldık teşekkürler

This hotel is budget and you get what you pay for. It’s clean, comfortable and the pool is nice. However, breakfast is continental only, no other choice. Also there is no air conditioning through the main hotel so gets very warm., but a/c works fine in the room. The hotel is mainly aimed at German tourists so only 1 English tv channel. They claim free Wi-Fi but it doesn’t work in the rooms, only close to reception or around the pool area. Staff are friendly and helpful. They do need more sun beds, as it’s a battle sometimes with towels on sun beds early in the morning. Location is ideal for the seafront and beach and is at the quieter end of the “beach walk” promenade, but still has restaurants etc close at hand. If you want a cheap hotel then this is value for money, as long as your expectations are realistic.

Really well equipped & spotlessly clean apartment. A short walk to the promenade & beach. Their Ju Beach cafe on the promenade is great & good value for lunch(10% off for hotel guests). Directly in front of Ju Beach are the sun loungers for guests use(there are only about 20 & they are a mixture of reclining chairs & sunbeds) .we were in apartment 105 which is right by reception & to be honest we didn’t really have any privacy on our terrace as everyone has to go past it to get to reception & late night we heard people coming back to the hotel so not a good room if you are a light sleeper. The manager is lovely & very helpful (even bought us a couple of fruit platters during our stay). Problems in the room such as lack of hairdryer & no clothes airer were sorted very quickly.

So we stayed at the kilim hotel for 8 night and we really enjoyed our stay. It's family run, the staff are helpful and friendly. It is located exactly halfway between calis and fethiye old town, both about £3 in taxi each way (or you could walk). The breakfast in the morning was nice, coffee, tea, bread, butter,Jams, cheese, egg, cereal, and more. The outside area was really nice to socialise in and wasn't overcrowded. I would definitely stay here again if I was looking for a very reasonably priced hotel in the fethiye area.
