Amazing views
I had an amazing stay at this hotel with my mom is July 2025. Unfortunately I missed my chance to write a review earlier on. It is a place to stay if you are looking for peace and wonderful views. Breakfast was superb. I had a concern about staff not speaking English well, which the hotel manager personally addressed by bringing us some gifts and sending us a bottle of Turkish sparkling wine for our birthdays. The music from Buddha Bar never bothered me; it is quite mellow and actually helps you fall asleep. Amazing views at night with underwater lights.
