Aliaga Holidays from £380

This hotel is convenient for those taking early flights from Izmir airport as it is a few hundred feet from the airport entrance. The gift is the transportation assist. We checked in and asked for a ride back to the hotel after dropping the rental car off. DONE. We also got a ride to the airport at 5 am the next morning from a kind and friendly driver.

Location was sublime: the hotel was directly on the sea and its main restaurant had seating on a pier that jutted out into the sea. Views and especially sunsets were spectacular. Backside of hotel also had jaw- dropping view of a sheltered harbor where cruise ships docked. Breakfasts were huge with lots of variety in food choices (although the only downer: no expresso/cappachino machine) and both indoor and outdoor seating. Pool area was beautiful, with lots of plush lounges, umbrellas, and even cabanas. Staff was efficient, but very warm and helpful in every way, especially the chief receptionist (I believe her name was Omer) who got me settled at check-in, the friendly bell hop who delivered my luggage, and the men who parked my car for me each day. I definitely would recommend this hotel.

Had an amazing stay at this property. The staff was super kind and sweet. I have come to this hotel in the past and I was pleasantly surprised both times that I stayed. One of my absolute favorites!

standout hospitality, amazing staff, good food and facilities
