Kivilcim Hotel

"The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs. A very short stroll down to the beach, the main road was full of all sorts of shops, it was an experience on the first day everyone trying to get you into their establishment. We soon learned to smile politely and decline the offer unless there was actually something we needed. We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning, we were greeted with a smile, we paid for our air conditioning (£5 per day ) but we already knew this as had communicated with the hotel before arrival. We were given our room number and key and clear instructions of how to get to our room. We walked in and pretty much collapsed into bed as we were exhausted. Slept through breakfast but there are enough shops/supermarkets nearby to get something, or as we later found out the hotel also has a full menu so you could have purchased breakfast from that. Morning breakfast was plentiful and a typical continental offering, there was always fresh juice and a coffee machine to get your day going! Chef would stand near the dining area and cook fresh omelettes to order if that was what you wanted. Dinner was from a set menu but was plentiful and always something even with a somewhat picky eater. There were 3 courses each evening, vegetarians were catered for, lots of vegetables and just plentiful food. Desserts were lovely and again plentiful. All staff members were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, massive shout out to Leo though, he made our holiday what it was! We were delighted to see the tortoises roaming around the pool area and there were 4/5 cats, one who took a shining to us, so much so I had to make room on the sunbed for her! The staff always made sure to shoo the cats away from tables during mealtimes. The bar area was entertaining with music, dancing bar staff (Leo) and ice creams! There was also a pool table free to use. Rooms were cleaned daily and beds and towels changed as requested. The cleaners left a tip envelope on our last night, there was a handwritten note and a towel folded in a heart, we felt it was a lovely touch and naturally left them a tip! Water was available in the bar and at reception, big 5 litre bottles were 45TKL which equates to less than a pound! All in all a marvellous stay, now counting down the days until we can book and go again. Thank You all for making our holiday so very special."

"My partner & I have just returned from the Kivilcim Hotel for the third time. As usual, we had a great time staying here. We have never had any issues staying here, all staff are always very friendly, helpful and you can always have a laugh and joke with them and they will always help in anyway they can if you need anything. We have no issues with the food, which is always OK for us (this is a small, family run hotel which does not have the capacity to cater for hundreds of people, as other bigger hotels in the area can). Bedroom bins are emptied daily. Fresh towels / bedding will be provided if they are required and requested. We are looking forward to returning to Kivilcim and Marmaris in May 2027 for a fourth time, which is now booked 😀."

"Stayed at the Kıvılcım hotel this year. Amazing staff, lovely, friendly and helpful. Unbelievable customer service from all. A big thank you to İlkin for helping us out with a family emergency. He helped with everything and was there throughout the emergency. Can't thank him and the team enough. Definitely will be going back in the future. Lovely place to stay."
