We were thrilled with our stay at Bahar Hotel in Calis. We requested a ground floor room and were allocated one directly overlooking the pool with a small balcony & two chairs to sit outside. Each balcony had it's own umbrella to shade you from the sun and there were ample umbrellas and sunbeds around the pool area for the size of the property. Our twin room was a decent size with a modern easily accessible large shower cubicle. Room towels were provided and changed whenever you needed them but with a notice emphasising care for the environment by not asking to have them changed unnecessarily. Bathroom and room bins were emptied daily, with bed linen changed once weekly. Every room had a flat screen smart TV, a kettle, mugs with tea and coffee in the room plus a full-sized fridge with a freezer compartment. There was also a safe in the wardrobe. Other than the wardrobe there was not much other storage which I will mention below. Wi-Fi was available but sporadic in our room. The pool and surrounding area was kept very clean and I loved that it had wide steps and handrail in one corner that was easy to get in and out of the pool. Breakfast, which was included in our package, was served at the opposite end of the pool in another outside covered area and was amazing with lots of choice including: Freshly cooked omelettes, cold meats, cheeses, tomatoes, cucumber, various cold grilled vegetables, tzatziki, olives, eggs, hot and cold, cereals, fresh fruit, bread, rolls, cakes pastries, juice, tea, coffee and water. Light lunches were also available to purchase from the breakfast area every day which were reasonably priced. The reception area was lovely with comfortable sofas and a huge TV to watch if you wished to and there is a large, covered area immediately outside reception adjacent to the pool that has very comfortable wicker conservatory type chairs and tables which are great for anyone who does not like sitting in the sun. (Wi-Fi was good in this area too). Just a couple of very small things that didn't spoil our stay but that could be important to some people and could make future stay's even better. Wi-Fi reception in our room was very patchy and could have been much better. I think it may depend on where your room is situated so could be potluck? A strong signal in every room would be a real bonus especially for UK and other visitors who may not be able to use phone data . Some more storage would have been useful as there was only one shallow drawer in the dressing table in our room. A chest of drawers or even drawers in bedside cabinets would be very useful. Bahar hotel is situated right on the beach promenade so although we don't generally sit on the beach, we do see it every day. The beach is pebbly and has sunbeds for hire and there are a few showers and changing huts on the beach. There was some noisy work going on above the kitchen area for about 8 of our 12 days stay in May 2024 but it seems to be finished now so should n
