I quite agree Hillside, if you have a particular soft spot for one place, you give it more leeway. We have just come back from Calis after spending three weeks there. It was our second time in Calis, our tenth in Turkey.Last year we stayed at the Malhun but after an awful week there, for reasons which i won`t go into now, we cut our losses and spent our second week at Bostan`s Hotel. We were made welcome and enjoyed the rest of our holiday. This year we booked direct to Bostans again and can I say on behalf of the three of us a massive Thank You to Recep, Carol and the staff for making us so welcome again. Few hotels give you such warmth and hospitality, but more importantly, it is a genuine warmth and hospitality. We found the food excellent throughout our stay. a menu with plenty to choose from and if it wasnt on the menu, they were pleased to cook whatever was wanted. The only time food took any time to arrive was with dishes that stated "please allow one hour" or "two hours" for the clay pot dishes. Looking through the various pages on different eating places, I do notice that there are far more criticisms than praises. Mind you the saying goes that "Everyone`s a critic". Or is it the British disease of knocking , moaning and whinging that has become a focal point in our culture. We feel that because we can say things over the world now , that we must try and make what we say more important. But it tends to be over destructive rather than constructive.I often wonder if the critics of various places actually wait until they can get on here to complain rather than saying something at the time.I suppose its easier to hide behind a screen. Anyway may i again say thanks to Recep and Carol for making this years stay memorable for all the right reasons, and for anyone going to Calis for the first time, you could do a lot worse than stay at Bostans
