USA, Jan 2007
I found the staff friendly but unhelpful-the location is good but there is no nightlife nearby except for a Turkish smoking emporium. Strictly in the tourist zone-everyone is bugging you to buy a carpet or eat in their restaurant. I felt it was overprice for $80-should have been about $50, at least in winter. Promised me a ride from airport but did not show and did not refund me my ride fare. I would strongly NOT recommend this property for a single traveler

Excellent breakfast, wonderful seaview. Just a small adjoining waste field that could be conveniently cleaned and cleared up. Anna & Gianmarco
