Happy Hotel Kalkan

Rien

Je suis extrêmement déçue de notre séjour dans cet hôtel. Avant notre arrivée, j’avais clairement indiqué sur Booking que j’étais enceinte et que j’avais besoin d’une chambre confortable et, si possible, d’éviter les escaliers. L’hôtel m’avait répondu qu’il ferait tout son possible pour répondre à ma demande. À notre arrivée le 2 septembre, nous avons pourtant dû monter trois étages, avec de très grandes marches et des pentes importantes entre les étages. Pour une femme enceinte, c’était particulièrement difficile et inquiétant. Un autre incident, dès notre premier jour, m’a également profondément choquée. Après notre arrivée, mon mari est sorti quelques instants et, étant très fatiguée, je me suis directement allongée sur le lit pour me reposer. Environ une heure plus tard, j’ai entendu la porte s’ouvrir puis se refermer une première fois. Je pensais que c’était mon mari. Quelques instants après, la porte s’est à nouveau ouverte et la femme de ménage est entrée directement dans la chambre alors que j’étais allongée sur le lit. Elle m’a vue, mais au lieu de s’excuser, elle m’a expliqué qu’elle voulait vérifier dans le réfrigérateur la présence des deux barres de chocolat facturées. Je lui ai immédiatement expliqué qu’elle ne pouvait pas entrer dans notre chambre alors que nous étions à l’intérieur sans prévenir ni attendre notre autorisation. Ce qui m’a encore plus choquée, c’est qu’elle ne s’est même pas excusée et m’a parlé de manière désagréable et condescendante, comme si c’était moi qui la dérangeais, alors que c’est elle qui venait d’entrer dans notre espace privé. J’aurais très bien pu être en train de me changer ou de ne pas être habillée correctement. Notre intimité n’a clairement pas été respectée. Le problème le plus grave reste cependant le gros chien présent dans l’hôtel. Il nous a coursés à plusieurs reprises dans les couloirs et les escaliers, en nous suivant et en aboyant. J’ai plusieurs fois eu peur de tomber dans les escaliers en essayant de

Хороший отель. Бассейн, вид и расположение понравилось. Но очень скудные завтраки. Лучше бы был качественный ресторан, но «а la carte» чем такой унылый, но шведский стол.

Уборка. При заезде в номере было грязно.

Leuke locatie, groot zwembad en prachtige uitzicht

Kamer, restaurant erg aan de oudere kant. Het toelaten van een hond bij het zwembad en restaurant

Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Location was great. Staff were friendly.

Breakfast was awful - really not worth paying for.

Location was great, lovely view and a short walk to two great beach clubs and a selection restaurants walking distance too

The Coffee, it needs an upgrade but it meant I switched to Turkish tea which was lovely

Ontbijt was prima, genoeg keuze en verse maaltijden.

Helemaal niks

rustige locatie

accommodatie is gedateerd. Dient gerenoveerd te worden

Прекрасный вид из окна, милый завтрак, комфортная и очень спокойная атмосфера. Рядом классный бич клаб

Старый номерной фонд, неудобные подушки, в номере было грязно. Из уборки: меняют полотенце, предоставляют воду и всё

Friendly staff and lovely pool

Slightly dated

The view the pool terase and huge size bed and room.

It a long a step walk to the sea, you pay for the beach.

ПРЕКРАСНЫЙ ВИД

НЕ РАБОТАЕТ КОНДИЦИОНЕР

Great location just a short drive away from the hub of Kalkan with amazing views across one of Kalkan’s beautiful bays. Large swimming pool with a good bar and food

You need a vehicle to get around, if you know the area you’ll know about the hills and walking around is not good if you struggle on your feet for too long.

Tesis mükemmeldi her bir şeyi

Her şeyi beğendim

Saubere und große Zimmer, top Lage, toller Pool mit einem traumhaften Blick

Breakfast was a buffet and the fresh fruit was delicious, there was also an option for omelettes which were super tasty, the 25 Mtr pool was fanstatic, the pool wasnt busy and was perfect for a early morning lengths swim. then breakfast. Food was lovely as were the drinks at the bar, i recommend the lemonade which was a delight. The staff for the room service were attentive and excellent as were the staff at the bar.

the balcony door wouldnt slide easily which was never really resolved, the Hotel has an age patina which added to the charm.

Wunderschönes Hotel mit einem phänomenalen Ausblick und einem tollen Beach Club. Nettes Personal würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Die Aussicht war ein Traum.Die Deluxe Zimmer waren sehr groß die Betten sehr bequem. Das Personal sehr freundlich . Der Beach Club Likya Beach was zum Hotel gehört war ein Traum . Türkisfarbenes klares Meer . Wie würden jederzeit das Hotel wieder besuchen .

Uns hat alles gefallen

Осталась довольна отелем. Завтраки: я утром не люблю есть много, мне было вполне достаточно арбуза, яичницы и чая для счастья, всё было вкусно, обслуживание быстрое, вежливое. Уборка: всё было хорошо, милая девушка даже подарила мне упаковку чая, который мне понравился. Я очень ценю такие милые жесты и внимательность. Отель, виды: Виды умиротворяющие. Пение цикад, горлиц, горы, море, звездное небо.. Было очень приятно сидеть на балконе и созерцать. Территория отеля в окружении разных деревьев: оливы, гранат, хвойные. Несмотря на то, что некоторые балконы смежные с соседями, за 6 ночей ни разу не было соседей в окружении, кто бы шумел вечером на балконе; может мне повезло, а может люди с уважением относятся к вечерней тишине и дают всем насладится умиротворяющими звуками природы. Ресепшен: всегда помогали. Да, говорят в основном только на турецком, но с переводчиками сейчас это не проблема. Публика: граждане Турции в основном, немного англичан. Все хорошие, вежливые. З Магазин: есть в 5 минутах ходьбы. Море: я всегда ездила на Капуташ пляж на такси ( ≈ 550 tl) в одну сторону.

В моем номере сложно открывалась дверь на балкон.

piscina ottima con panorama

stanze grandi seppur arredo un po’ datato

Plajı olmaması dışında bir sorun yoktu bence

Proche à la mer , vue sur la mère , calme et propre

Le petit déjeuner était trop juste . Le qualité de charcuterie n’était pas bonne. Le prix des plates étaient cher et le goût n’était pas au rendez-vous.

Friendly staff. Nice pool with a lovely view towards Kalamar Bay and the sea. There are always with free beds around the pool regardless of the time of day.

Service is charming and always with a smile but it is VERY slow. We ordered lunch on our first day and despite the fact that there were literally only six of seven people in the pool/restaurant area, our food took just under an hour to arrive. Similarly the next day, we ordered two coffees by the pool, and despite it being very quiet in the restaurant/pool area, they took just under half an hour to arrive.

Famile venligt hotel med en stor pool. Og en fantastisk udsigt. Meget søde og hjælpesom personale. Kan stærkt anbefale. En en famile som os med to børn på 9 og 10 år.

The view from balcony was beautiful. Rooms spacious. Facilities good

Dead cockroach in toilet Bins had not been emptied from previous holiday makers and was over flowing. Balcony and floor inside was sticky. Electric was turning on n off

Comfy bedroom + a HUGE bed!! Well located - super close to Kalmari beach club & a 20 min walk from the town centre. The staff were WORLD CLASS - super friendly & attentive. Serve up a solid lunch, big pool, and lots of nice areas to chill. Would 10/10 recommend.

Breakfast could have been nicer / have more options!

Lovely views of the sea. Great pool and beds. Staff were amazing

Everything was great

Spacious hotel with plenty of room to spread out unlike some hotels which pack people in dining rooms etc. Brian Garner.

Very nice clean room. Lovely balcony with sea view. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Pool, room view

Fridge front light on all the time, no wine list,

It was peaceful

That there was no prosecco they had run out we was told sorry end of season so won’t be restocking the same with the ice cream breakfast was basic

I don't recommend this hotel Rooms are noisy and old, food is not tasty and bad location for walking

We have stayed at this hotel many times and, although it may not be the most elegant of buildings, the wonderful staff, fabulous pool and views more than compensate.

Nothing.

Good location with a great view out to sea, a few grocery stores nearby and an easy 25 minute stroll to the harbour. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the meal we had the first night of our arrival was really good. There seemed to be enough pool loungers for everyone, however not sure if it would be the same when it's peak season. It gets quite windy by the pool which meant the umbrellas usually had to come down so you'd have to move and hope you get lucky to find a lounge in the shade if needed. They do have a sister hotel with a beach club which is free to use if you're staying at Happy Hotel and that was great. I'm not sure if there's a free shuttle in peak periods, however we just got a taxi which was about 5 mins/£5

The rooms are quite dated

What a fabulous hotel and holiday. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Showers warm and good. Only niggle was the firm beds! Staff and service were friendly and excellent. Wifi fantastic, especially for working. Views were breathtaking. Pool wonderful. Air conditioning welcome. Breakfast was simple but delicious. Hotel add ones were fairly priced. Best feature is the manager Gurol! What a star. Helped and went out of his way for everything. To get anywhere, you will need a taxi, however reasonable priced. Free access to Likya Gardens beach club (sister hotel) on the sea was amazing for swimming and snorkelling. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Mark and Margie

Hotel has a lovely setting, amazing views and the pool area really nice and quiet. Perfect for people who want a quiet break. Our room was huge but very dated, disappointed to only have a blanket on the bed and no sheets, blanket was dry and scratchy but the shower is very good. We had the breakfast one day of our weeks stay, nothing wrong with the breakfast, just found the vibe a bit quiet and strange, like we were intruding into someone's home to have breakfast. We preferred to eat in the local restaurants so spent a lot of time walking (up and down hills) luckily we love to walk but if you're not very fit, you will spend a lot of money on taxi's. All in all, we loved our Kalkan holiday, not sure would stay here again, simply because it was too quiet for us, but if you like sleepy hotels, this is perfect for you.

We have just returned from a week's stay at the Happy Hotel. The staff are lovely and really helpful, in particular Guol the Manger was extremely helpful, giving excellent advice regarding tours, beach clubs etc ., and ordering taxis. Hasan the bar manager was exceptional. There pool area is excellent with comfortable sun loungers and towels provided. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable with air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom plus a lovely balcony with spectacular views. Many guests return tho this hotel over many years. Although a good 20 minute walk from the main old town we found taxis easy to book and not expensive 170 tlr. We did not find this a problem as there were excellent restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The hotel may be seen by some as needing updating but we found it charming and the cleanliness and exceptional staff made our holiday so enjoyable.

View from the balcony

Recently stayed at Happy Hotel Kalkan with my family of four, and it was an absolute nightmare. The room we were given was nothing like the photos advertised online. The furniture was old, worn out, and in terrible condition. Door handles were falling off. The air conditioner was malfunctioning and couldn't maintain a comfortable temperature, leaving us sweating during the night. To make matters worse, the room was completely devoid of any essential amenities. For a family of four, there were only two glasses provided—no plates, utensils, or any kitchenware whatsoever. Laundry services were outrageously expensive. Additionally, all prices were listed in pounds ,and the hotel refused to accept any other currencies Overall, Happy Hotel Kalkan failed to meet even the most basic standards of hospitality. The poor maintenance, lack of essential amenities, exorbitant prices, and unprofessional service made our stay extremely unpleasant. I strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. Do not waste your money or time on this disappointing establishment.

The hotel is located about 20 minutes walk from Kalkan, which is ok.Few nice places to eat and drink near hotel. The rooms are lovely. Food is good. The drink is expensive, there's a notification saying you can't bring your own in the hotel as theirs is reasonable price, untrue.i found the manager very stand offish,had his own favourite guests. The pool is brilliant and the staff are lovely and hard working and very helpful. Turkey is now a expensive destination, Portugal was far cheaper in June. All in all I would go back . Weather obviously lovely.

The pool area and view is exceptional and the sun beds are super comfy. It is a short walk to a few restaurants, away from the main town and approx. a 30min walk to the centre. Taxi is 170TL each way.

The breakfast was poor. The room was spacious but not cleaned daily

Location (close to one of the best beach clubs) Sea view Restaurant for dinner Personal in the restaurant is very friendly and polite Big rooms

Quite old hotel Very bad cleaning ( nobody even touched the floor, from the first day till the last one the same dirty and hair on the floor, the only made the bed) Very poor breakfast ( no any porridge, no pancakes, crepes, no any bakery, biscuits, only bread! Only! And always the same. There wasn’t any changing in food during two weeks. Fruits only melon and watermelon. ) In pool you can find mountains of chlorine There are two three hotels nearby with wonderful new rooms, view, breakfast and 30% less price than here ( price is really high for such rooms and breakfast)

The fantastic pool!! No matter how many people were in there was always room to swim . 25 metres .always spotlessly clean as was the rest of the hotel. Delicious breakfast buffet . Staff were always really attentive and discreet.

Loved it all!

The pool and pool area was perfect 👍🏾! The hotel food was excellent 👌🏽

Food and drink was expensive. Would be nice to have the option to do some self catering to make it more affordable.

An excellent location with a good view. Very quiet and peacefull. Good breakfast with a lot of variety. Hotel crew friendly and prepared to help. Check-in through the reception was very poor. No info provided and you have to find out yourself or ask everytime.We stayed for 5 days and ask for cleaning the third day. Cleaners said they can't mob the floor. They only change the bed sheets, towels and get rid of the garbage.

The views, the pool and the friendly staff were amazing.

The bed was very uncomfortable.

Good bay view and a big nice swimming pool. The restaurant locates by the pool, also with both mountain view and bay view. The food is perfect and alcohol available. The room is bigger than average with a big balcony.

The air conditioner will stop working frequently. The staff cannot fix this problem. I guess the problem is caused by its temperature sensor.

Personel ilgili değil, odadaki eşyalar eski o da pek küçüktü, yemek sipariş veriyorsun 1 saatte geliyor. Şef kesinlikle yemek yapmayı bilmiyor..

The views of Kalamar Bay were stunning. Buffet breakfast / cocktails / dinner. Complementary access to Likya Beach Club (five minutes in a taxi). The pool / pool area. Waiters were friendly Bed was comfy. Pool table and table tennis. Had a safe.

The room was outdated. The shower didn't drain well (also took a long time to get warm), the door to the balcony was difficult to open (my partner couldn't open it) and there was a sign warning against bringing in food from outside the hotel otherwise you'd be charged for it.

The hotel was very good, excellent staff and attentiveness to your requirements. Good setting for the hotel, quiet but not too far from shops, restaurants and cafes. Beach very close and relaxing. Excellent room, and fittings, with comfy large double bed.

I little expensive in the hotel for drinks

The staff and pool were perfect

Nothing was bad

Great hotel for a solo traveller. Staff were so friendly, helpful and willing to just chat. The hotel was traditional but certainly not shabby. My room was fine with good AC, a mini bar which is like a beer fridge which lights up at night so cover with a towel if it bothers you and a safe- all free. Housekeeping was very good every day and although I never understand the crochet top sheet thing there were light duvets with covers in the wardrobe which I used. Breakfast was apparently usually buffet but because it was quiet was brought to your table which I prefer. I don't like to move on holiday if I can help it. A good Turkish breakfast and you can ask for omelettes or eggs if you like. Lunches and evening meals were a la carte and good quality. Bar and food prices were ok but Kalkan is not cheap so they were not out of kilter with others. Pool excellent with superb sunbeds and very quiet while I was there. Bar staff would approach you for pool service drinks but no pressure. I had everything that was important to me. It was quiet which I loved but might not suit others. I don't see the need for disco Turkey played at breakfast but you could have meals overlooking the views that were amazing. Taxis increased in price during my stay and were about £4 one way. There is no courtesy bus. I would stay again in a heartbeat because it gave me everything I need especially friendly staff from the Manager downwards and I loved the hotel dog Maya and cat who had no name!

Happy Hotel is located in Kalamar Bay Area. You can walk into Kalkan which is downhill and takes around 15 mins (not 5 as some have stated!). Of course you can walk back but we always took a taxi as up hill. Taxi was 200TL (about £5). Having been to Kalkan numerous times, I like this area as a little quieter. Restaurants within a 5 mins stroll. Quiet area. Rooms have a balcony - some with much better views than others. We did not have a view but did not bother us as little time is spent in the room. Room has a minibar but they make it clear this is not for your own snacks. The light is bright for this fridge so a sleep mask is a good thing to pack. Ample toiletries in the bathroom. Kettle in room - big bonus! Fabulous shower! Water from bar was only 50TL (£1.20) for a big bottle. Drinks are expensive at hotel but everywhere in Kalkan now is! Pool area amazing with the most stunning views and attentive staff to bring you drinks!

There is very little that I can fault but if there was one thing then it is the beds - not hugely comfy. However, the sun loungers around the pool are super comfy!

Great room, view and pool area

Unusable balcony as no shade. Photos showed an umbrella but we were denied the use of one. We were told they were old photos, and for wind reasons, but there was no wind. Also, there was a quite threatening laminated demand for no food and drink from outside the hotel to be taken to rooms, only that purchased at the hotel. The demand stated that if anything purchased externally was found to be consumed in the room we would be charged hotel prices for this! We were never thinking to buy externally and take every meal to our room, but this felt very authoritarian.

Good points - Pool area is lovely with comfortable Sun loungers. Hussain behind the bar is very helpful if you need any help with anything. Views from the pool area are stunning. Bad Points ,- Reception not welcoming the smell of cigarettes nearly knocks you out. Hotel Manager not very friendly Rooms not checked had numerous faults on arrival Shower broken Safe Broken patio Doors very hard to open No toilet roll for 48 hours 3 calls to reception. No body wash for 3 days Had to ask for bedding to be changed. Food in the hotel the worst I've ever had in Turkey 5 frozen calamari rings on a bit of lettuce charged 19 pound . 2 Toasties made with 4 crusts of bread that were cremated and not edible. Salads that were nothing like the menu just what they had in the kitchen. Other areas of the hotel were very run down . Staff looked like they would rather be somewhere else but there. Very young serving staff that were willing but definitely needed some training. Reception staff watched as we struggled with our luggage to return to airport. We had a lovely time in Kalkan but wouldn't return to this hotel.

Staff amazing, hotel goes above and beyond (towelling dressing gowns, shampoo every day etc). Food at the hotel good too. 15 min walk into the centre or £4 taxi which arrives within minutes and operate 24/7. Lovely sea view room and king size bed! Huge 50m pool and lovely comfortable sun beds. Can’t really fault our stay! Hassan in particular goes above and beyond.

More veggie/vegan options at breakfast would be amazing

The room was very clean and comfortable.

There is nothing to complain about, except there was a small water leak when using the shower.

Perfect location, staff very helpful and attentive

O

The location..bar staff..food..wow breakfast..sunbeds & fresh towels..attention to detail.

The key card...had to re visit reception to validate..to actually get into your room...having to go back down the steps...again!

May seems to be a very quiet time in Kalkan and therefore we were able to enjoy this amazing, friendly hotel - spotlessly clean, beautiful pool with stunning views, extremely comfortable sunbeds and attentive staff. Special mention for Hassein who makes everything run smoothly and ensures every guest is happy at the Happy hotel.

A huge swimming pool and a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. Comfortable rooms. Excellent staff

Nothing , all good

We have just returned from Happy Hotel, what a stunning location. We were treated very well by everyone at the hotel but the star was Hussain, what a lovely man and paid so much attention to detail. He looked after us so well. He made our holiday! I would definitely stay again, it’s quite a walk to town but the location makes up for it looking over Kalamar Bay and there is always the option of a taxi. Room was clean and lots of products to use in the bathroom, plus a kettle, tea and coffee and a fridge. The pool is huge and very refreshing! Breakfast was a huge display of different foods, cheeses, meats, olives, eggs, fruits, vegetables, pastries, olives, jams, lovely honey and bread. You can have an omelette made if you choose all included in our holiday, which set us up for the day. There is not really anything negative to report from our point of view. We throughly enjoyed our stay and although we usually get a private Villa I would stay at Happy Hotel again anytime, lovely location and great staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh and Hussain made me the best cocktail I have ever had, I forgot to ask what was in it 😊.

Fantastic hotel! We were here for a weeks holiday and had the best stay. Hotel rooms are spacious and extremely clean, aswell as the whole hotel area they do a lot on making the place look great. Our bar tender Hassan.. what a guy! Went out his way everyday for us making our experience as good as it could be. If you had any faults which we had absolutely none he would go out his way to fix it for you. Best service. I say the same for all hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel food was absolutely beautiful we tried quite alot on the menu and it is all reasonably priced, cocktails are very presentable and tasted beautiful! The breakfast spread provided may not be for everyone but it was delicious and a great variety. The main town is aprox 5-7 mins in a taxi which is 130 lira, and a good 30 min walk, it is extremely hilly so we got a taxi there and back. And to top it off the view this hotel brings is stunning! So overall we thought this hotel is fantastic and won't disappoint.

Middle November stay for a night and although we had a rain storm at night and shortage of water, people did their best to help us have a pleasant stay. Thank you for your hospitality. We will visit again during summer. Thank you.

Perfect stay in a great location, food was great, staff helpful every hour of the day and the pool was beautiful (largest pool in Kalkan!) Views were amazing especially sunset. Town is 20min walk but staff are always there to help you book a taxi which arrives pronto. We were here on a couples stay and can't thank you enough for everything, we did not want to leave :)

Nice view from room. Pool was large and area was clean. Comfortable bed. Parking on site.

There was no lift and had to go up a lot of steps to room. Air conditioning was not on and no fan available. No gluten free option for breakfast had to bring my own bread. Dated decor and not allowed to eat your own food in the room. Located far out of town need a car to get there

The best deal i had so far during my stay in Turkey The rooms well furnished come with a balcony and a pool and a sea view The very tasty buffet breakfast is various and served around the pool And last but not least the friendly staff always smiling and greeting do everything to make you comfy

some small details in the bathroom and more shelf in the wardrobe … but theses are just a small tiny details

A very great deal … A very good hotel with a huge pool all the rooms well furnished with comfy bedding came with a balcony and a nice view The buffet breakfast is tasty and how about the staff always smiling and greeting I hope to come again Many thanks Karim

Breakfast was adequate, ate mine siting by the pool looking at the view.

Disappointed with my end bill. I was charged £140 for the airport transfer, where it clearly stated on the advert "Airport Shuttle" as a popular facilities . I doesn't say this is chargeable, spoilt the holiday.

I really liked everything from the staff to the location. Everything was at a good level. We want to come back again with my husband.

N/A

This place is amazing, has a luxurious feel to it. Not a "basic" hotel but still very affordable! The pool and the views.. fantastic. Also the staff are very nice!

What a sweet hotel... It is a bit dated around the edges, but like a good bottle of wine, it gets better with age. It is super clean. The staff is very helpful, the breakfast is plentiful, and the views are spectacular. Closely located to the local beach as well as numerous restaurants in town. We will definitely stay here again when back in Kalkan.

I wish we would of had the room with open slats balcony instead of a solid wall balcony.

The pool, beautiful views, very clean, good breakfast.

Nothing I can think of.

Excellent food . Great Pool. Quiet location. Friendly and helpful staff. Cheap taxi's to town, as driving and parking in the town is a pain! Very cool place

Welcoming & relaxing atmosphere. Attentive staff. Lovely location & great pool.

Love this hotel, been three times now and it never disappoints. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious especially the omelettes. Taxi to town is £3 or you can walk. They do offer an evening menu which is also delicious. A large selection of cocktails and wine are available. The Effes beer is plentiful! The rooms are spacious, cleaned daily with ample towels. Towels are provided for the pool. Will definitely be back next year

- Amazing view around the lovely relaxing pool area - Very attentive staff around the pool/restaurant - Great games selection

- The hotel is outdated and is in real need of a refit. -- For example there are 20+ year old kids baths for the shower section (Some of the British guests have been coming to the hotel this long) -- Old fashioned wallpaper in the bathroom and bedroom just about clinging on -- The main light switches are no longer connected to anything, they've put a load of lamps in but not removed the switches

Had a great stay at Happy Hotel, it is a 20min up & down hill walk into Kalkan, we found this doable and only resorted getting taxis twice. The room was clean and comfortable. Fridge in the room but a glass front so highlighted the room at night. Good hot powerful shower, quality shower gel & shampoo in big bottles. Hairdryer is a push button, I have trouble gripping so this wasn't great for me, I would take my own next time. Plug sockets under dressers, so not easy to access if you want to use Straightners by the mirror maybe take an extension lead. Breakfast was OK enough to fill up on bread, eggs/omlettes, melon, juices, beans, salami cheese and cereal, some days pancakes The pool area is lovely with the best views, nice fresh towels and padded sunbeds. Staff are friendly and work hard. If you don't mind a bit of a hilly strole this is a great hotel, with a couple of nice restaurants nearby if you don't want to head into town.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Happy Kalkan. Hard working and very friendly staff and lovely company from other guests in the hotel. Pool views are stunning, overlooking Kalamar Bay. Rooms are very dated but clean and comfortable. You can walk to town in 15-20 minutes and lots of good restaurants on Kalamar Rd.
