Happy Hotel Kalkan

Fantastic hotel! We were here for a weeks holiday and had the best stay. Hotel rooms are spacious and extremely clean, aswell as the whole hotel area they do a lot on making the place look great. Our bar tender Hassan.. what a guy! Went out his way everyday for us making our experience as good as it could be. If you had any faults which we had absolutely none he would go out his way to fix it for you. Best service. I say the same for all hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel food was absolutely beautiful we tried quite alot on the menu and it is all reasonably priced, cocktails are very presentable and tasted beautiful! The breakfast spread provided may not be for everyone but it was delicious and a great variety. The main town is aprox 5-7 mins in a taxi which is 130 lira, and a good 30 min walk, it is extremely hilly so we got a taxi there and back. And to top it off the view this hotel brings is stunning! So overall we thought this hotel is fantastic and won't disappoint.

What a fabulous hotel and holiday. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Showers warm and good. Only niggle was the firm beds! Staff and service were friendly and excellent. Wifi fantastic, especially for working. Views were breathtaking. Pool wonderful. Air conditioning welcome. Breakfast was simple but delicious. Hotel add ones were fairly priced. Best feature is the manager Gurol! What a star. Helped and went out of his way for everything. To get anywhere, you will need a taxi, however reasonable priced. Free access to Likya Gardens beach club (sister hotel) on the sea was amazing for swimming and snorkelling. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Mark and Margie

We have just returned from a week's stay at the Happy Hotel. The staff are lovely and really helpful, in particular Guol the Manger was extremely helpful, giving excellent advice regarding tours, beach clubs etc ., and ordering taxis. Hasan the bar manager was exceptional. There pool area is excellent with comfortable sun loungers and towels provided. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable with air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom plus a lovely balcony with spectacular views. Many guests return tho this hotel over many years. Although a good 20 minute walk from the main old town we found taxis easy to book and not expensive 170 tlr. We did not find this a problem as there were excellent restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The hotel may be seen by some as needing updating but we found it charming and the cleanliness and exceptional staff made our holiday so enjoyable.

The hotel is located about 20 minutes walk from Kalkan, which is ok.Few nice places to eat and drink near hotel. The rooms are lovely. Food is good. The drink is expensive, there's a notification saying you can't bring your own in the hotel as theirs is reasonable price, untrue.i found the manager very stand offish,had his own favourite guests. The pool is brilliant and the staff are lovely and hard working and very helpful. Turkey is now a expensive destination, Portugal was far cheaper in June. All in all I would go back . Weather obviously lovely.

Love this hotel, been three times now and it never disappoints. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious especially the omelettes. Taxi to town is £3 or you can walk. They do offer an evening menu which is also delicious. A large selection of cocktails and wine are available. The Effes beer is plentiful! The rooms are spacious, cleaned daily with ample towels. Towels are provided for the pool. Will definitely be back next year

Good points - Pool area is lovely with comfortable Sun loungers. Hussain behind the bar is very helpful if you need any help with anything. Views from the pool area are stunning. Bad Points ,- Reception not welcoming the smell of cigarettes nearly knocks you out. Hotel Manager not very friendly Rooms not checked had numerous faults on arrival Shower broken Safe Broken patio Doors very hard to open No toilet roll for 48 hours 3 calls to reception. No body wash for 3 days Had to ask for bedding to be changed. Food in the hotel the worst I've ever had in Turkey 5 frozen calamari rings on a bit of lettuce charged 19 pound . 2 Toasties made with 4 crusts of bread that were cremated and not edible. Salads that were nothing like the menu just what they had in the kitchen. Other areas of the hotel were very run down . Staff looked like they would rather be somewhere else but there. Very young serving staff that were willing but definitely needed some training. Reception staff watched as we struggled with our luggage to return to airport. We had a lovely time in Kalkan but wouldn't return to this hotel.

May seems to be a very quiet time in Kalkan and therefore we were able to enjoy this amazing, friendly hotel - spotlessly clean, beautiful pool with stunning views, extremely comfortable sunbeds and attentive staff. Special mention for Hassein who makes everything run smoothly and ensures every guest is happy at the Happy hotel.

Perfect stay in a great location, food was great, staff helpful every hour of the day and the pool was beautiful (largest pool in Kalkan!) Views were amazing especially sunset. Town is 20min walk but staff are always there to help you book a taxi which arrives pronto. We were here on a couples stay and can't thank you enough for everything, we did not want to leave :)
