A good villa with a bad start
We stayed at this villa between 15 and 29 September 2023. When we arrived the villa had not been cleaned and was as the last guests left it. Somehow the owner Ismail and the maintenance man Roger missed the fact that we were turning up so we sat by the pool for the first hour and a half while it was cleaned. After this mishap things improved considerably. The villa is well equipped inside and out. The pool is unheated but was clean and warm enough. The 6 sunloungers are very comfortable and pool towels are provided. The pool gets the sun all day but for the last 2 weeks of September we lost the sun at around 5:30 which was not a problem. You can not really see the sea from the pool - just Kalkan town. Inside there is a water cooler which provides cold water all the time and saves you carrying it from the supermarket. If it runs out ring Roger and a man delivers a full one for 80 lira (£2.70). The beds are comfortable but none of the bedrooms have black out blinds so the rooms are very bright at 7:00am. This is probably the biggest single improvement that could be made. In the meantime bring your eye masks and ear plugs as morning prayers start at 6:00 am. If you like beach clubs then Zest is the best. Go to the lighthouse/harbour and catch the free boat or taxi direct. For restaurants you can’t go wrong with plentiful good quality restaurants. Villa location is very good with a 15 minute walk into town. All in all a very good villa at a fair price so I would recommend it.
