Çamlıbel Holidays from £137

Food was great, bed was comfortable, staff were amazing & very helpful. So much to see and do in this town & so close to Istanbul but a lot more chilled. Ferry across to Gallipoli with a tour, go see Troy and do shopping for all your souvenirs! Must visit! Locals are so hospitable. Loved my stay here.

Scary and unsafe for families with kids. The windows open outwards with no child screen. Fall hazard. Parking is free but every time you need to go in or out you have to tell front desk. No card entry in parking. No microwave. We had to go to restaurant every time to warm our child’s milk.

This is a solid three star resort, small, quiet, and overall enjoyable. We came for 4 nights and extended our stay by two additional nights. Pros: quiet, with nicely landscaped and well maintained grounds. The pool is good size and they also have a kiddy pool that our 16 months old daughter greatly enjoyed. Breakfast and dinner are good, nice selection, and hot dishes changed daily. There is also enough space in the restaurant and ample seating outside around the pool. Pool sun beds look rather new and are comfortable. The rooms are on a smaller side, but offer a good space for two adults with a child. Beds are very comfortable, and having a small fridge and free water was great. The bathroom is nice and clean, good water pressure. The beach is beautiful and large for a hotel of this size. Ample number of sun beds that also look rather new. Excellent bar area on the beach, with artsy touches and comfy seating. Live music was very nice. Not so great aspects: the hotel doesn’t seem to be professionally managed. Small staff works extremely hard, but friendliness and professional presentation are lacking. Front desk staff needs professional training too. We wanted to extend our stay, and they couldn’t tell us if they had rooms available. We extended on Expedia and had to insist on staying in our original rooms. Oh and the Wi-Fi! It’s a pain to connect if your cell number is from outside Turkey. Dinner starts at 7:30, which was too late for us, esp for our daughter.

The hotel provided us with a very comfortable stopover as we were travelling from Istanbul to Ayvalik. Huge choice of food for breakfast and the hotel was brilliantly located close to restaurants and the famous horse from the film Troy.
