“Excellent Value, Lovely Hotel, Terrible Food”
We got a spacious, comfortable ocean front room with balcony thru Expedia at a special promotional rate. At that rate, this hotel is a fantastic buy. Expecting a 3 star hotel, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a 4 star hotel that had 5 or more swimming pools, one a salt water pool, two with mineral water, etc. for the use of its guests. Wifi was free and the signal strong. Plenty of free parking. The hotel itself occupied a long photogenic cove with marinas. It had several restaurants and breakfast was buffet style. The food was positively terrible, the worst we had in all of Turkey, that goes for both breakfast and dinner. We also had difficulty finding the hotel as we did not speak Turkish; it was near the Radisson, which is well signposted. Once we found the hotel, we were delighted. It was about 10 minutes by car from the castle area which is where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. I'd be very happy to return to this hotel if we find ourself in Cesme again. Cesme itself is a pretty small town surrounded by water and a straight shoot off the toll road. We much preferred it to Foca, a small fishing village which was hard to get to.
