This beautiful hotel would be well worth the money based on the location and facilities alone. But…read morethis place is a perfect example of how an excellent staff can make all the difference between good and unbeatable. The manager, Hussein, went above and beyond in helping us overcome all kinds of challenges. When we arrived in town late at night and couldn't get a taxi for the last stretch, Hussein came and retrieved us personally. When our previous guide for Ephesus fell through, Hussein arranged for us to have an excellent personal guide and taxi driver pretty much at the last minute. When we were having trouble booking a bus ticket to our next destination, again, Hussein stepped in and walked over to the bus station with us to help make sure everything went smoothly. Beyond all of this incredible service, the rooms were very comfortable, the pool was especially appreciated in the intense summer heat and the breakfast spread was quite varied and filling.

We stayed at this lovely and cozy boutique hotel for two nights. The hotel is beautifully…read moredecorated, so much attention to details. The staff was absolutely wonderful, very attentive, helpful and so nice. Our room was ready as soon as we arrived in the afternoon. We got a room facing the pool on the first floor so we had a door that opened right out to the pool and we literally felt right at home. The room was very clean and the shower was fantastic. The room had basic amenities like a fridge, safe, hair dryer and they provide water bottles and spa-type slippers. The bed was comfortable and they provided several pillows which is great for sleeping comfort. There's a lounging area with shade right by the pool and bar, perfect to have a drink and just hang out. The water in the pool was cold but it was perfect to cool off from the intense Selçuk heat. The ambiance was so chill and relaxing. The view off the pool and outside dining area was great to watch the sunset if the clouds allowed for a nice view. The breakfast was just ok, serving the usual cheese, cold cuts, veggies, sweets etc. I didn't see anywhere mentioned whether or not they would prepare fried eggs or omelets if requested. I wish they did but since I didn't ask I can't say for sure. We also had dinner at their restaurant one night since we had an early flight the following morning. The food was ok, the baba ghanoush was a bit bland. The lamb shank and grilled whole fish were definitely better dishes. The hotel is located right next to St. John's Basilica and the Selçuk castle which are two of the main attractions in this town. The town center is also a short walk away and close to the dolmuş station where you can catch the shared white mini buses that take you to nearby Şirince for a small fee of 4TL per person.

We stayed in the Alaçati Marina Palace for 3 nights while traveling throughout Europe and Turkey. I…read moream so glad we chose this hotel. It is a small hotel, maybe a dozen rooms, but their staff really treated us like family instead of guests. Always accommodating, honestly at our beck and call which I have never experienced before! The Turkish breakfast on the lawn by the pool every morning was fresh and DELICIOUS! The hotel is directly across from the Marina, but you would need a car to go to Alaçati or any notable sights/towns. I am so happy we came here, the value is fantastic!!

This is my favorite destination on the entire planet. This year marks 10 years since our first…read morevisit. This review will go from reservations to the sea to explain what to expect from good visit. Reservations from at least a month in advance makes sense because this place is almost always operating at full capacity. No political events affect how active this place is in comparison to everywhere else because the patrons are largely established Turkish families. I would advise placing reservations through a travel agency as they are able to speak with accountants and such in the event of any issues. Breakfast goes from 7-10 AM; dinner from 7-10 PM. The earlier you go the better. In recent years dinner has seriously improved. I ate various fish and greens for a whole week without once being bored. Hotel requires payment for any other meals and all beverages. Food can be ordered at the beach restaurant and to deck chairs on the pool and seaside. They have an indoor gym and pool in addition to an outdoor pool and the best seaside I have ever been privileged enough to visit. The gym facilities are well-furnished with weights, ellipticals, treadmills, weight machines, a rowing machine, mats, stretching devices, and water. Best part about working out here is that you sweat double what you sweat inland. The sea is a bit salty but worth every eye and throat burn. Wind starts picking up in mid-August and the climate becomes somewhat like a warm Çanakkale. Room fees start to go down and the hotel can operate beyond its capacity at this time so the final week of high season is my preferred time to visit.

This is a review for one of the restaurants at this hotel, not the hotel itself. We were enjoying…read moreIlica Beach and decided to go to Sheraton for lunch. We sat at the Laguna Restaurant, right on the beach. The chicken skewers were tasty but salty. The shrimp salad was also salty. The cheeseburger was reasonable. The penne pasta was "good" according to my 13 year old daughter. The service was above average and when they delivered the wrong food, they quickly rectified the situation. Had the food not been salty I would have given it a 4 star. I just think salty food is a kitchen crime.

It had a path by the pool that took you to a second level where they had hammock and a nice green area. If you keep going down one more floor there is a little beach and beautiful rock formations. The rooms were a good size. The pillows are very hard and big. The bed was comfy. The AC was good. I found the rooms quiet with beautiful views . I wish the front desk staff was a little more welcoming. They avoid eye contact. A simple greeting would have been nice. They don't look happy to be working here. The hotel is in a beautiful town. Felt like a fishing town. It has things to do nearby. It is in a great location. I would come back here again

The location and view were 5-star beautiful !! Its location high on a hillside allows amazingly beautiful views of a gorgeous bay of the breathtakingly blue Aegean Sea. Food: Lunch was typical local Turkey cuisine, tapas-like meze appetizers and nice main entree. Service: The service couldn't have been any more efficient -they obviously had prepared well for crowds on tourist buses that were lucky enough to stop here Facility: Clean and basic furnishings, with indoor and outdoor dining facilities-but great view from the outdoor tables made our experience memorable.
