True Blue Boutique Hotel Kalkan

Lovely boutique hotel but some way out of town in a quiet suburb on the edge of town. Very helpful kind staff, comfortable room and beds, fantastic breakfast with many home made dishes. Nice pool area but very cold pool. Short 10 min downhill walk to various beach clubs.

The rooms lovely and clean tastefully decorated Staff delightful polite and welcoming The breakfast was delicious with variety so you didn't get bored The pool area chilled with plenty of sun bed and and Bali beds for shade. I can't wait to go back there. Thank you all at True Blue

Stayed at the True Blue for one week at the beginning of September travelling on my own, so always a bit wary as to personal safety and the friendliness of where I stay. I can say from the moment I arrived I was made to feel very welcome. The staff are very friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. They are all approachable and happy to engage with you, which is very reassuring for a lone female traveller. The Hotel is spotlessly clean, pool is lovely and the rooms are modern and comfortable. Breakfast has a wonderful selection all fresh and delicious. The bar area is a great place to chat and mix with other guests with plenty of seating. Many thanks to Arda and Egemen behind the bar for being so friendly patient and interested in everyone. (accident and emergency) you will know what I mean (no detriment to them)!! Tuana Su absolutely charming and thanks to the tall young man whose name I can't recall (spell) Tuba the manager -congratulations for maintaining a lovely place and wonderful team, including Rafi and Sajic (apologies if spelled incorrectly) Practical issues - a short taxi ride into Kalkan itself, currently costing 130 tl which is around £4.75 each way, too hot and too up and down for me to walk but I have a problem with my knees. I do think you would need to be very fit to walk into town and back, however there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Food generally very good wherever you eat. Beach club Kalamar not far but very steep walk although you can get a shuttle (but not if a lone person). All in all a lovely holiday great place, great people. I highly recommend a visit.

Idyllic, calm, beautifully organised setting. A truly calm oasis. We loved it. I travelled with my daughter and had initially stayed on the busy Kalamar Road which proved too noisy for us. So we moved here. It was fantastic. The upper rooms on the 3rd floor 302 and 301 have the best views over the bay. We met guests who had been here every year for 15 or so years. Highly recommend. Would come back in a heartbeat. The owners are relaxed and cannot do enough to help you. It's the kind of place you want to keep secret.

What a lovely little boutique hotel Metin & his staff are truly i think some of the lovliest hotel staff ive ever met . The place is spotlessley clean . Beautifully decorated rooms all bright and airy ( we had a rooftop room .. the love room ! ) Attention to detail everywhere Beautiful breakfast .. best ive had in kalkan lots of variety and fresh Gorgeous pool beautiful gardens lovely cool seating areas , extensive library . Great beachclub nearby ( kulube ) and a really good little restaurant at the enx of the road . It was our 1st time at true blue , we made wonderful new friends and we have booked again already for next year ! Thank you for a wonderful stay true blue !

Simply perfect! We booked attracted by the stunning pictures of breakfast and the spacious, looking two bedroom apartment surrounded by lime/lemon, orange, and pomegranate trees. The hosts/owners Rafi and Tuba are fabulous and supported by friendly helpful staff who made us feel at home instantly, offering support and guidance from before our arrival, transfers and throughout our stay - always with a beautiful warm smile, easy to talk to, like old friends. The apartment exceeded expectations, beautifulky laid out with good spacious rooms, light, contemporary soft furnishings, instantly comfortable with good facilities (fridge, oven, washing machine, TV and wifi - essential with teenagers!). Cleaned daily, with fresh towels. Our outdoor dining area (2nd floor) with overhanging lemon/lime trees provided privacy and a feeling of seclusion but with a view of the pool and stunning views across the Turquoise/Lycian coast and surrounding mountains. The highlight and source of pleasure and indulgence are the wholesome, good quality breakfasts. Juicy fresh strawberries, figs, apricots, grapes, green olives, cucumbers, cured meats, homeade dips and sauces, eggs, fresh cheeses, tomatoes, fresh-baked bread, homemade fruit preserves and jams, nuts and honeyr. A daily selection of sweet and savoury pastries from börek, poğaça, simit as well as Baklava and other sweets filled with chocolate, hazelnut, honey etc The pool, flanked by fruit trees, was situated with ample sun, a selection of day beds, loungers, and a shaded bar. The iced coffees are a must! We spent most of our days either our day trips or at the local beach club returning to spend time at the pool at the end of the day before sun set. We only ate lunch on our last day, simple, delicious pizza. The bar staff (students on their summer break) were friendly and eager to chat. We stayed as a family of two adults with two teenagers. Other guests varied from families young and older, a rich, culturally diverse from across the globe. Location The location is stunning. Nestled in the hills, a quiet, relaxed escape from the hustle and bustle of the old harbour town, which is a only short cheap taxi ride away or longer walk. Easy access to several beach clubs with steps down from platforms over the rocks into the gorgeous clear sparkling Mediterranean waters. Several delicious restaurants nearby. We will return! Just wish we could find sinialr in other destinations
