Kalkan Hotels with Gym

We stayed for 11 days in early May and we were very pleased with the hotel. It's small, very clean and staffed by friendly and helpful people. I have been in 5 star hotels in the past which were not as good as The Samira Exclusive. Rooms were cleaned every day and towels were changed; the towels were very good quality, thick and fluffy and bering the hotel's insignia. The only not so good points are the WIFI, which can be temperamental and the breakfast which was underwhelming. Breakfast consisted of mainly cold salads, boiled eggs and two warm (never hot enough) dishes; these were usually chopped local sausages mixed with peppers, and potatoes or occasionally baked beans. If you wanted eggs cooked any other way it would cost extra, this seemed a little petty; the bread however was very good. We didn't eat there in the evenings but I understand from others that the quality of the menu at that time was very good. We had a late evening flight home and asked about the possibility of extending our check out by a few hours, this cost us £40, which I feel is quite steep. The hotel was quite empty when we arrived but began to fill up as the season progressed and I can see possible problems in the high season with queues in the restaurant which is small and finding beds around the pool. Of course we already saw people rising at cock crow to claim beds with their towels and often these beds were hardly used, this is something the hotel should clamp down on. There is no lift either so the hotel is only accessible to the able bodied. Kalkan itself is very impressive; it's extremely picturesque, surrounded by hills and peppered with small winding cobbled streets full of restaurants and art shops, no sign of the usual tourist 'tat'. It is very steep though and I wouldn't recommend it to disabled people or those with small children and push chairs. It is also very expensive, eating out cost us about the same as we would pay to eat out in the UK. People who were frequent visitors told us the prices has almost doubled in the last year or two since Covid. Would I recommend it? Definitely, and I would return to the Samira Exclusive but it would be nice to see the points I have raised being addressed.

A hotel beyond expectations. In the small town of Kalkan, facing the sea, spring blossoms! Originally planned to go to Kaputas beach to play in the water, I specially booked the small town of Kalkan, which is less than 10 minutes drive from Kaputas beach. As soon as I entered the small town of Kalkan by car, there was a viewing platform, and I was shocked by the charming scenery of the small town of Kalkan. Take pictures! The scenery of Kalkan is better than that of Kas Kas. The town is mainly composed of British tourists, playing in the water, going out to the sea, swimming, basking in the sun, flying umbrellas during the day, and gathering and carnival in the commercial dining streets of the town at night, which is very atmospheric. There are several dining streets, stone roads, and houses are very close to each other. It is quite interesting to sit on the street and experience Turkish cuisine and British culture. We went to the summer season, and the streets filled the streets with beautiful British and Turkish bikini beauties. The next day, I drove to Kaputas Blue Flag Beach to play in the water. It was very convenient. The beach also has shower and changing services, all free of charge, which is great! I saw a lot of Asian self-driving partners taking pictures on the cliff and drove away. Unfortunately, I still have to go down to Kaputas Beach to be interesting. The texture of the sea water is as magical as milk. Cash is too commercial. It is recommended to live in the small town of Kalkan. The hotel Matiana Hotel stayed at this time is the most humane hotel in Turkey during the 15-day trip. There is a swimming pool in the hotel and the water quality is excellent. On the roof terrace, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, enjoy the night view of Kalkan and the dim lights; outside the window of the room is the bay; the Mediterranean climate is magical, and the bathing suits dried at night are all dry the next day. Many villas around the hotel are sold to the British and wealthy Turkish people for regular holiday use. Flowers are blooming everywhere in the town. I am envious of seeing several villas adopting infinity swimming pools! The interior decoration and management of the hotel are very attentive, the decoration is exquisite and comfortable, and the breakfast is rich! An absolute five-star boutique hotel! highly recommended.

I’m giving The Samira five stars, yes the hotel is a bit dated but it’s by no means bad at all. I’ve been to so many places in Turkey now and Kalkan has my heart. I love the Samira, mainly due to the staff, they work so hard and are so pleasant and friendly. I want to say a personal Thank-you to Niyazi, he’s the bar manager and he is just a lovely guy and nothing is too much trouble for him. The owner doesn’t realise how lucky he is to have such good staff. I witnessed a few times him coming down and appearing to be on the staffs backs all the time. We didn’t get our suitcases until two days into our holiday. This being due to Easy Jet and their lack of competence. The way the staff helped us was just lovely, from Kevin the reception guy at night and to the lovely lady who was on reception throughout the day. So helpful, especially as my daughter and I were getting upset due to EJ not really caring about the cases at all. So yes, the hotel may be a little dated but my goodness! The staff make up for it. So thank you to all of you for being the people you are. The Samira is a home from home to me, it felt like I’d known the staff for ages. We’ve been twice now and will be going again next year. To the owner! Appreciative your staff! Niyazi especially! His English is so good and his personality and caring manner matches it. Maybe update your rooms a bit but please never change your staff! It’s those hardworking people who make the place it is. Be good to your staff…and they will be good to you. Something for the owner to think about.
