Jiva Beach Resort Hotel

[indianlight]

Hi,

I've just joined to see if anyone can help? I've found this 5* Jiva Resort Hotel online but can't find much info about it. We love Turkey and really want to try Calis for our Honeymoon in June. This hotel appears to be perfect, however as it's new and I can't see actual photos of it just artist impressions i'm a bit hesitant to book.

can anyone tell me please if it looks nice? have you heard anything about it? where its situated on the seafront and any other info you think might be useful to me... Thanks x

I think it is going to be down behind koca calis there is a 5star being built there and i think it a Russian build thats what i was told . [?]

If it is this one; http://www.hotels4u.com/hotels/jiva-beach-resort.aspx
then forget it.  The build has not even started yet, apart from a boundary wall, and as they can only build during the winter months there it will not be finished by June. I would say it will be at least 2 yrs before that is finished, but nearer 5yrs.

"The Jiva Beach Resort is in a perfect position directly on Calislar Beach about 5 km from the heart of Fethiye on the coast of Turkey."

Unbelievably misleading, the wording should be along the lines of: will be when built as opposed to is, this makes you think it's already built.

From Wikipedia: "is", the third form of the verb "to be" at present tense, in the English language.

And where are these beaches, Calislar Beach?

No wonder Thomas Cook is in trouble, there's more chance of it being there next summer if they built it out of snow

And "Situated on the shore of a wonderful lagoon" - where's that then!!!

The mention of the word Lagoon made me think Of Olu Deniz & wondered if something had glitched with the ad til I read the rest of the rubbish it spouts!

Shame that Indianlights 1st post has had such a negative response, must think we're a miserable bunch (no comments!), sorry Debra, but at least the honeymoon wont be spoilt!

PS: Just had a thought, the lagoon will be the ground it's on after it rains lol.

Money saving advice Mark, not negative response  

Regarding your lagoon thought - you will have to interpret what the architect's comments might actually mean - they say "Natural pond existing in the site is preserved and considered as a basic design data". which could be interpreted as "built on a swamp"

Debra, Calis is a great place for a holiday and a honeymoon. Don't think you have to book AI or 5 star to have a wonderful time.  There are lots of really good Hotels in Calis and you would be spoilt for choice when picking a restaurant for an evening meal.  
So even if this place is not built yet, please look at the other Hotels in Calis. For example. Look at the Delta Hotel which is right on the promenade with fabulous views of the sea plus they have a penthouse apartment at the top of the Hotel with a roof top jacuzzi. This place is very popular for honeymooners.  My son is staying there after his wedding next year.
So, hope you will give Calis a try, know you will love it.

You would have thought they'd have been working flat out over the winter. They really need to make a start, Thomas Cook/Hotels4u are taking bookings for holidaymakers arriving 1st June!!!
