Well we stayed at the Delta for the second October in a row and we really love it. Wonderful views, breakfast on the prom, great staff and we know the owners from way back. Really clean and modern.
It's really good value in October. It was also pretty busy given it was end of season and this year being so poor.
The only downside is that there is no pool - of course you are yards from the sea but we are not really beach people. We rarely have time for sunbathing and know plenty of pools we are welcome to use if we feel the urge.
It's definitely our fave but I think if we came in July or August we'd need a place with a pool.
But for October it's perfect.
Where did you stay?

For years if we went to olu deniz we always stayed at the blue star. This year daughter tagged along. Couldnt believe we got 2 rooms including aircon and fridge for 748 bb for all of us with Thomson. This included travel on a Thomson dreamliner plane, 20kg, extra legroom and transfers mid June. This was karbel hotel at the top of strip. Lovely clean hotel, helpful staff and entertainment. I was well impressed. Suprisingly its not noisy up there.
Unfortunately the place I, ve rented now in ovacik is self catering only tut. : :) ;D

Weve had quite a few one or two night night mini breaks in quite a few of the Calis hotels now and what we have realised are the older getting a little tired hotels dont do anything for us now...
Our fav is the Jiva Beach closely followed by Nevada Su both have really friendly staff great pools decent food...
we also really like the Tiriayki now Blueberry though some may found that a bit off the beaten track.
Never seen the Nevada as empty as it was this year, i often walked up and had some lunch there and used their pool, never seemed to be more then 8 to 10 people at the pool, poor barman looked bored stiff.

Copied and edited from elsewhere.
The Oykun which is a good location, is very well run and which attracts a great deal of repeat business.
Average of age guests estimated at 85 which meant two things. 1. There were no great white sharks, turtles, aeroplanes or giant rings in the pool and 2. there were no hard bodied 25 year old males to distract the present Mrs H.
Our room was a bit dated but I understand that the Original Block has been refurbished so maybe the other Block will be done this winter.
Storage space on a par with other hotels ( bin fro general rubbish would have been good).
TV, aircon and hair drier all provided. Extra for safe £ 7.50 per week and fridge £ 15.00 per week. Also £ 15 - £ 20 to keep room on for day of departure.
Bar and food prices reasonable and a decent breakfast spread with loads of choice.
Pleasant and attentive staff.
Internet impossibly slow – connection only on balcony and in bar.

We stayed at the Oykun this time and yes, there were no hard bodied 25 year old men. On the plus side, I was the youngest person staying there....

We stayed at the Oykun twice and there is a place in our heart for it, but we sat on our balcony many a night unable to connect to their wifi - even though we were just above the reception, easier to connect to the Meri Bar best part of half a km away :o

we stayed at the vanilla hotel...nice little pool...staff very friendly and helpfull..5mins max to the beach and guvens.we love this end of calis...defo going here next year.. ;D ;D

We stayed at the Rosary Beach in June for one week and really enjoyed it. The room was perfect - we booked a sea view and the location was great. We hired a safe for the week and the room was cleaned and bedding changed every morning. The pool was lovely but the surrounding area needed a bit of attention; the toilet by the pool was out of order and there was a poolside bar which looked like it would have been a great feature at one time - but not now. None of this spoiled our lovely week and we would certainly book this hotel again. There's nothing nicer than going to sleep listening to the sea and waking up to it in the morning. We didn't pay a lot for the holiday but certainly didn't have any complaints :)

Stayed at Hotel Unique in the harbour. Boutique room with two separate verandas and a hot tub. Everything about the hotel was superb, service, room and amenities. Not cheap but as a treat it was well worth it.
-
We stopped at the AkkentGarden hotel,late August,it was fabulous,the room overlooked the large pool,room very tastefully decorated and the bathroom was beautiful, also very convenient for the dolmus,and a nice walk into Calis , with definitely stay here again but next time will book directly from the hotel rather than through a booking agency.

we had a 4 night break at the letoonia fantastic the only problem was they did not sell efes
-
They don't sell drinks ;)

That, to me, is a serious plus point.

Have been travelling to Calis area over the past twelve years, and unfortunately alone recently, this time I decided to check into the Nil Motel. I must say It was a good choice, so central, sea view, and I must say Angel and her staff were brilliant, from the breakfast to the room quality, including aircon, fridge, safe, television.......with a fantastic power shower. I had never thought of looking at this place previously, but I am glad I did, especially as I felt it is smaller, so I wouldn't just rattle around there. I must also add that the food in various restaurants was good, no exceptions, and I hope they all weather the storm. I find that no matter where I holiday to, I just have to spend some time in Calis and Fethiye.
-
Can't complain - 650TL a month, home cooked food every day and I sleep with the gorgeous cook (what more could a man want !!)

OK THEY DID NOT HAVE EFES but they did sell some drinks :o :P

We were in Calis from 4th-18th Oct and for the 11th time we stayed at Caretta Apartments and it never fails to live up to expectations, John, Mary and Cem are amazing people and one of the reasons we keep coming back to Calis

Totally agree with sq291073.
We have been going to Calis for around 23 years and enjoyed every moment but the past 6 years which we spent in the Caretta Apartments were exceptional.
All down to Dr John,his family and staff.
Previous holidays in other hotels/apartments were only great. :)

Golden Moon for us for the umpteenth time. Stayed at Pelin x3 , Tugay, Cenk Bey, Oykun, but love the location of the Golden Moon and their pool area. Always get our room choice and Mete arranges a private pick up for us from the airport. Rooms are being revamped. Staff are lovely, especially Kemal, who has been there for several years now and it's wonderful listening to how his English is progressing. Will return next year for sure. 8) 8) 8)

In July this year we had to leave our Villa for the last few days ( guests ! ) and I decided I wanted to “get out of town”.
We decamped to the Yakamoz Hotel on the outskirts of Ovacik for 2 nights / 3 days.
A real gem. Loveley, lovely place. Surrounded by the mountains, great pool area, peaceful garden, great ambience, and a wonderful restaurant.
We stayed in a small bungalow in the grounds, very traditional Turkish decor, small kitchenette and outside seating area. There are two main hotel blocks and we had a quick peek at the rooms which were very, very nice.
The staff were great and our stay there was a wonderful, peaceful, relaxing end to our busy stay at the Villa.
Don’t be put off by the fact it is very close to the new water park. The noise is NOT a problem.
I thoroughly recommend the place if you want to get away from Calis. Also recommend the restaurant for evening meals.
-
I LOVE Yakamoz and have been staying there on and of for about 15 years. In the main hotel the ground floor rooms are small, traditionally Turkish and the newer upstairs rooms are more modern, large and airy. Everywhere is spotless. As Phil says there are 3 cottages in the grounds and an annexe with 10 rooms. It really is lovely, hidden away and so peaceful. Food is great, served in the evenings under the grape vines. The fantastic staff quickly become good friends. Google it. ;D

Stayed a week at the Tugay in mid September. I've posted about this hotel previously and was glad to return to its informality and friendliness. Also called at the Oykun where we have stayed before. Played bowls and had a couple of lunches there........we've booked two weeks in summer next year. Rather like Scunner's posts about the Delta so may try that in autumn next year although I would expect the prices to be significantly higher than the ones I've mentioned.

13 YEARS ago we drove down a dusty potholed track and arrived at the Golden Moon Hotel our first time in Calis we had a great time for 5 days Then a family of 23 rolled up all from Manchester it was turned into a mad house around the pool grass area it was a swamp from them all bombing the pool , getting so drunk we stuck it out for 2 more days and with several other couples we popped into the OYKUN across the track and asked for rooms . The owners welcomed us with open arms gave us all rooms for the rest of our holiday , Our tour company paid for our moves and my my it was bliss for all of us,
Since then for the past 12 years my wife and I have stayed at the Oykun Hotel for our 18 or 21 day stays in June , many of the staff have been working there for all these years , 7 years ago we had a email in October from the Owner inviting us both the their son OYKUN ,s wedding at end of November we did attend along with 5 other couples from uk who also were also invited , rooms were free like wise airport transfers such kindness from the owners .
Yes we go other times in the year to various countries for short breaks s BUT for us its like home from home like wise for many who return year after year, we just love being there

Probably, but maybe not as much as you imagine Dennis. We book direct and pay in lira (email Sue and say you spoke with Keith at the forum - hoteldeltafethiye@hotmail.com )
For the quality of hotel, view and location we think it a very fair price, you would pay far more in Spain or Portugal etc.
Another thing we do is two hotels - for example we did the magnificent Ece Saray in Fethiye then the other half at the Manaspark in Calis - we thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the first one, and equally thoroughly enjoyed the value for money of the other.

We booked the penthouse suite of the Delta for two nights, for our son when he was married over there. We went into reception and arranged it. It was £90.00 per night for B.&.B. The suite covers the whole of the top of the Hotel has a bedroom, kitchen and dining area and a balcony with a jacuzzi that is not overlooked. We thought that was terrific value and my Son and D.I.L. Enjoyed their stay.
-
Thanks for the information Keith. I'll email Sue for more details as you suggest and also consider the idea of a two centre holiday in the Fethiye area (as long as I have a week or so in Calis Beach!). :) Best wishes.
-
Same here Dennis - we love Fethiye and staying there for a few days, but a visit without a chill out week or so in Calis is unthinkable.

Yes the top floor apartment is a fantastic place to stay, we had a night there last October - the weather was shocking but that made for an amazing sunset viewed from the perfect location.

Hi Keith........received price details from Sue by email and you were right - the price for room with B&B and sea facing is considerably lower than I had imagined. Thanks again for your help.
-
My absolute pleasure Dennis. I hope you will have the pleasure of stepping out to a balcony like this

That's on my bucket list! 8)

I hear the Blueberry is very good too, Not stayed there, but had dinner and a trip around the place. It was lovely. We hear the old Tiriyaki has now been bought by an Istanbul Businessman with a yacht called the Blueberry, so he changed the name of the Hotel, because he likes the name Blueberry.
It gets good write ups on lots of Forums.
-
Way too far back for us :)
-
It was fairly ridiculously priced (IMO) when it was the Tiriyaki. I noted when searching hotels it is very reasonably priced for 2017.
-
It looks beautiful but is it not a bit off the beaten track.
Certainly not where Booking.com show it I think.
-
I think booking.com have it about right - but still it is not an ideal location in Calis.
-
About 100m to BMB ?
-
yes about 100m to BMB and 600ish to Dolphinless roundabout.

Yes, just off the Market Road and there are dolmus down to the prom that run very frequently.
We had a tour around when it opened and it is lovely inside, rooms are all different. The spa downstairs is really well designed and the pool outside is nice and quite private.
I have read the reviews, they come up well, but people do say it is a bit far from the prom and main street..
