It might be useful and interesting and it might not :)
For those of us who stay in hotels, I thought a list from best we've stayed in downwards might be interesting. Not necessarily the most expensive or highest number of stars - the best overall for the money, service etc.
Here's mine
Jiva Beach
Delta
Mutlu
Oykun
Area
Harman
Manas Park
Pelin
-
We stay in apartments now but back in i think 2002 we stayed in harman then club e quite a few times.i couldnt put the Harman on any list so for me.
1.Club e
-
Like charlste we tend to stay in apartments these days, however............
Letoon
Oykun
Nevada Su
Golden Moon
Grand Vision
-
We've stayed in Club E, Oykun, Delta, Mutlu and Jiva Beach. Delta has got to be number 1 - I love that hotel - but I would recommend all of them.
-
Good list Lynne :D
-
Only ever stayed in two. Yaught Classic and The Letoon.
The Letoon every time is no 1 for us
-
We stayed at Yacht Boutique, it was very nice but possibly not as nice as you might expect.

I lived in tenerife from the late 70's till 1993 but went to fethiye in 1985 and stayed in the yacht hotel.been in my thirties i was okay with the yacht but on reflection it was as basic as it comes but it was £2 a night.spent the whole month of august there,no air con,no wardrobe,and a hole in the floor for a toilet.still the best memories for me and still going every year for 12 weeks.

This has really made me ponder, and my answer has changed multiple times for varying reasons, over the years we have stayed at a friends house quite a few times and also as others have said apartments, however we have also stayed at different hotels and i struggle where to place some, I guess the best and as at the time our 3 girls were young Hotel Club Letoonia Fethiye has to be number 1, purely due to the facilities and choice of food/drink, especially having at the time 3 young girls BUT from now, as the girls are all grown up I think i would put Delta first, Mutlu second, Oykun third. The Jiva is somewhere i would like to try but am not 100% sure about although when we have walked past it looks very nice :)

Your list is mine but for the Jiva Beach. We were discussing this on Facebook just today. The main point about JB to me is it is a nice quality hotel for the area, AI or not.
We love it as a hotel and not for the fact that you can eat & drink all you want. If you compare prices with the Yacht Classic or Ece Saray (which we love) it’s only a few quid more for Jiva, and you can eat and drink all you want ;)
-
Our list would be... oykun hotel as our top choice . kann hotel our next choice, and tugay as or 3 rd choice

Mutlu for me

When we first went to Calis some 20 years back, we thought it was lovely staying in such basic rooms as were available then. We stayed at Seril 2, then moved to the front staying at the Bahar, Ceren, Seketur, Area, Gunes. Not sure about the Bahar, but the others surely need updating and modernising, we are now obviously 20 years older and want nicer modern rooms so for us the Delta is the best we have found, and having found it a few years back, we have returned twice a year ever since. We did stay at the Nevada Spa which we liked, but unfortunately they had a system in place where you could not take drinks into the hotel (including water !) also we prefer to be on the front so although it is a nice hotel we don't like where it is. There are some lovely hotels along the front, cannot understand why the owners don't update them and charge more, perhaps they just don't have the money, but a lot of good hotels with pools are desperately in need of modernising and people will gradually stop going for the 'quaint and basic' experience and opt for the more modern ones.

Mutlu for me
Great list Dave :D
-
8 years ago we stayed at the Rimer Hotel, excellent in every way, then we bought our villa 8)
-
we have stayed in Calis for the past 17 years, my list are for different reasons.
the first 4 years we stayed in a fantastic apartment right near the large pool in Tellimoss (spelt wrongly sorry ) we took 3 kids and we felt so safe. the kids were 4, 12, and 17.. The 17 yr old had a friend with him and they just hired a scooter and "blitzed" it was a real growing up time for him . My daughter of 12 made friends with 2 girls that had apartments on the site and would walk round to the beach that was then known as " Helens" beach .. that was also her first taste of freedom and our little chick at four played in the pool with all the Turkish kiddies , even though they could not communicate they always knew when to go for an ice cream , drinks , or get the water floats . it was wonderful
My hotels in order after the first 4 years are Mutlu (1 st ) for location, and easy going atmosphere .
nu 2 is Club E.. lovely gardens, really clean cut. And then Delta, but I missed not having a pool.
-
Like Christie, our staying goes back over 20yrs, so,
Taurus for several yrs (since re-branded-nr Harman)
Grand Vision "
Old Mutlu and then the rebuilt New Mutlu.
So It is- New Mutlu for me.
-
Blimey, where do I start!
As requested I guess at the top so for me The Mutlu was overall the best experience taking everything into account.
From then on I can't honestly say I've not had a bad hotel along the prom & I've stayed in at least a dozen now. My expectations are always nothing more than a hot shower at any time of day, clean bedding & a warm welcome. I've managed to get all of those except 1 very late night arrival & obviously disturbed the night porter from his game of cards with a Raki or 3 but he was fine the rest of the holiday so he was forgiven. Yes, I've had some experiences with cleaners missing the room etc. but with a quiet word they have been put right without fuss. Any one of the seafront hotels beats a boring airport "Hilton" by a mile, you have to accept the quirks as part of the fun.
I've never stayed in Fethiye so can't comment on those nor have I stayed AI so yet to sample Jiva, maybe 1 day I'll try it but until then it's whichever hotel on the prom does the best b&b deal that gets my money as Calis itself is far more important than the name on the hotel door.

I can't honestly say I've not had a bad hotel
Hang on Mark I'm still trying to work out whether you have or haven't :D

We have been visiting Calis for almost 20 years and have only stayed in 3 hotels, Gunes 1st time, then Seril 2 until it closed and since then (which I think was 2006) Oykun, though there may be some other lovely hotels we love the Oykun and as the saying goes 'if it's not broke why fix it', so for us in order:
Oykun
Seril 2
Gunes
:)

Stayed in a few since my 1st visit in 1994.
Now have our own villa so hotel visits are no longer required.
Not had a bad experience in any of them but would rate them as below.
Golden Moon - twice
Nevada Su - 2015
Mutlu - 3 times (all when Aylem was there)
Cenk Bey - 1997
Pelin - 3 times
Dawn Beach - twice
Would have no hesitation in recommending any of them based on my experiences.
