First 10/10 for the fantastic and unique location, right at the end of the Datca Peninsula and a stone’s throw (or short and atmospheric walk) from Knidos, with perfect uninterrupted views out to sea and up to mountains behind. If you’ve travelled a bit, in Turkey and abroad, you’ll appreciate how special this is. Due to this incredible location, with old temples and Knidos itself all around, there is little to no development and very strict planning, which is good for natural beauty, but somewhat tricky if you are the hotel owner trying to create all the creature comforts that modern tourism demands. Despite these challenges, the whole setup is excellent, everything is clean and organised, the team are helpful, the food is good, and the natural beauty and the breeze that blows in off the sea more than makes up for any small inconveniences - though the only one that I noticed was a lack of aircon, that might put some off, but shouldn’t - there are fans if the sea breeze isn’t enough for you, but really aren’t necessary. For the eco friendly, it’s good to know all electricity is solar powered. And for Yoga fans, there is a simply majestic Yoga platform set in the hillside next to the swimming pool with the same inspiring views and, I’m told, exceptional acoustics. So big vote of thanks from me to the only family hotel team in that area going the extra mile to deliver this unique experience. For the more adventurous tourist, and any traveller, it’s high antiquity heaven!
