“Pleasant.”
+Not for children, water too deep. Beds okay the whole place needs maintenance. Had to request, room to be cleaned, beds to be changed, bins to be emptied. Very expensive for single occupancy so shouldn’t have to ask. People very friendly and laid back.

“Loved it here, especially the dogs”
+Super hotel We absolutely adored this hotel. The family atmosphere was wonderful. The dogs were a bonus, so friendly & gentle. Because of this we missed our own dog a little less. Breakfast was delicious. Gorgeous setting. It’s a traditional Turkish hotel. If you want faceless, modern places this is not for you. Yes, a little updating wouldn’t hurt but you are not buying the place. We would return in a shot. 15 mins stroll to town, stunning views. Beautiful location but most of all the wonderful family who run this place. Thank you so much.
+Absolutely loved this hotel, if you want an authentic Turkish experience with fabulous staff & breakfasts, not to mention the best welcomes from their gorgeous dogs. Caretta is a great choice. Yes, there could be more maintenance work done around the place but for the time we stayed it didn’t matter at all. We loved it and would return. Thank you all at the Caretta.

“Loud and dangerous dogs”
+The owner of this hotel has a dog which he leaves outside barking and wakes up everyone in the near vicinity every morning at dawn. It also attracts a pack of wild dogs which wait aggressively outside the hotel at night. It’s totally anti-social and dangerous. Don’t stay here.

“Pretty view and cheap, but not welcoming and run down”
+Pros * Beautiful bay view * Cheap, much cheaper than staying in the old town * Breakfast was good, fast and varied * Beach club pretty (but a bit rundown now) Cons * No water or cold drink with breakfast * No info about the hotel or area on arrival, in fact staff generally just not very helpful or welcoming - made me feel a bit uncomfortable. * The room wasn’t made unless I asked, even then they didn’t change towels/sheets at all just refolded, didn’t empty bin or replace toilet roll so twice we had to go and ask for more which was embarrassing. * Electrics go off when you take the key out meaning fridge doesn’t stay cold * Dogs frequently barking through the night * No lighting walking up the track back to the hotel at night Overall, as a place to lay your head it’s fine but I wouldn’t go back.

“The drains.”
+Terribly dissatisfied. This could be a nice hotel but requires an urgent change in management. The worst bit was the stench from the bathroom - I went in in the morning and wanted to vomit. The electrics are dodgy, the furniture tired and the cleaning lacking. Breakfast was basic and unappealing- some old bread with little packets of jam, butter and honey and some unwashed tomatoes. We didn’t see any cleaners around and that showed - it could be a lovely place given the location but it was so unpleasant we couldn’t wait to go.

“Stunning Views and Great Value for Money”
+The location for this hotel is outstanding in a quiet position in Kalkan. Away from the main town (only 10 mins walk) but with amazing views across the bay and out to sea. Most of the rooms face the sea and the extra large room I had was super clean with modern A/C and an amazing terrace. The hotel has its own small beach club (terraces with sunbeds) and a small plunge pool adjacent to the sea. This is a family run hotel so you will get a warm welcome and a feeling that you are actually in their home rather than a hotel. Rustic and cosy. Breakfast is a simple affair with bread, light salad and cheese and some hot pastries all served with Turkish Tea. That said, I would have liked to have been offered water at breakfast. There is free parking at the hotel.

“Summer holidays”
+Authentic place built and located on rocks coast of Kalkan city. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere in the hotel with great owner Murat-bey and his lovely staff. Special thanks to Muratbey, Yagmur, Maia, Koba and other lovely staff. Enjoyed every moment of my stay in hotel. Breakfast was very good, especially borek, white cheese. The place is staying aside of the main town which is great benefit for quietness, but at a reach of 10-15 min walk to downtown.

“We love hotel Caretta !”
+My boyfriend and I stayed her last week, it exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back! The hotel is family run and has a very warm welcoming atmosphere. The hotel location is incredible and just 10 mins walk from Kalkan centre. Thanks for having us Murat !

“Great Hotel”
+We stayed at this hotel for four nights, as a break from our five week holiday in Fethiye. The hotel’s location could not be better; the views from our room, the restaurant and the sun decks were amazing. Our room, number 9 had a great view, and we awoke each morning to see the sea glittering in the sunlight and an occasional boat coming in to the harbour. It didn’t get direct sunlight, which meant it was relatively cool. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, with lots of choice of great fresh food; one of the best Turkish breakfasts we’ve ever had. The sun decks, arranged in layers down the cliff were lovely, with private areas, access to the sea and beds with towelling mattresses. A beach bar serves food and drink. We had dinner there once and lunch three times. Great food and wine, freshly cooked and served. From the hotel, it’s a ten minute walk to the marina with lots of bars and restaurants. The main part of the town, however, is reached by some extremely steep hills which may be a problem for those with mobility issues. The service was great and very friendly. The owner’s granddaughter in particular was a lovely person. Be aware also that prices in Kalkan are very similar
