I think everyone should have a trip to the hamam...at least once a month! Great steam room Typical sauna Decent pool This place has been around for years.

We fumbled around and were endlessly amusing to our fellow bathers who taught us to pour water on ourselves, loaned us shampoo, fed us tangerines and grapes and delighted in our efforts. And we were scrubbed of ALL dead skin by a friendly woman named Velma, clad in black bra and panties which seems to be the universal massage outfit from Korea to Turkey. After the scrubbing we were given a soap massage. And then set on the floor to have our hair shampooed. No one spoke English so Velma talked to us in German. Vunderbar, yes? And yes it was marvelous. Cost 25 Turkish Lira (around $8) and we left a tip. 1 1/2 hour best treatment ever. Sketchy neighborhood and a bit of a challenge to find so go during the day and do not be in a rush. It is absolutely worth it.

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.

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.

Maximum, 40-50 bucks. 1) the advertised "free parking" is actually a limited street parking along the highway, the space in front of the entrance fits about six double parked cars and does not qualify as "parking" in my opinion. 2) the Hotel itself, named after the owner' daughter is nowhere near the advertized 5 stars, maybe 2 stars. We reserved junior suites, and Oh Lord, the rooms were tiny and sad; their furniture is at the hostel level; tje soap is in dispensors inside the bathroom like in a cheap motel (video and pictures attached) 3) the advertized "walking distance" is not easily walkable, with all the ups and downs, turns, and unfinished construction along the way. After the first atempt walking, we came back and drove to the shore 4) the fitness room: they enclosed some space with glass and called it a fitness room/ there was no heating, and it felt as cold as being outside in January. I was unable to work out. 4) The hot buffet was very basic, edible if you are hungry, except for the fried fish which tasted as medicinal cod liver oil. The salad bar was ok. On the good side: The receptionists, and waiters, and the Spa personnell are all very nice. I liked the thermal pool and the VIP hamam. The turkish hamamci took away my back pain. He was very good. I will not stay at this hotel next time I am in Çeşme. I feel I overpayed big time.

The bed was comfy but the comforter was a bit small and the private heated pool was the best part. We didn't realize it's a party hotel so there was lots of noise until 1 am every night. Overall we found the communication wasn't great. We would randomly hear then find people in our pool area (like at 11 pm) who worked at the hotel but nobody ever warned us or asked if they could come by. We did take advantage of the complimentary sauna and hamam however you should bring towels and soap which we didn't expect to have to carry with us. They boasted about complimentary Starbucks (select drinks) for breakfast but we had to pay for those select drinks when we got them ourselves so again miscommunication. The food was decent but we would order like avocado omelette and would get a version of avocado toast despite our best effort to order the Turkish food name. There are repairs going on outside on the deck as well as around the property. There is limited parking out front but there is a lot next door that is open.

Kubbe tamamen siyah küflerle kaplanmış, içerideki hava küften dolayı solunamaz hâle gelmişti. Bir halk sağlığı uzmanı olarak belirtmeliyim ki, sıcak ve nemli ortamlarda oluşan küf sporlarının solunması, astım, alerjik reaksiyonlar ve kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarına yol açabilir. Badana yapmak sadece yüzeysel bir çözümdür; kalıcı çözüm için yapısal temizlik, nem kontrolü ve havalandırma şarttır. Gereken önlemler alınmazsa durumu Sağlık Bakanlığı'na bildirmeyi düşünüyorum.
