사미라 리조트 호텔 아파트 & 빌라(Samira Resort Hotel Aparts & Villas)

Kahvaltıları harika. Çalışan arkadaşlar görevlerini biliyor ve çok iyi yapıyorlar. Güleryüzlü ve ilgililer. Otel sahipleri kesintisiz işlerinin başındalar. Kalitede buradan geliyor sanırım. Odalar çok temiz ve kullanışlı yatakları rahat. Otelin havuzu hergün temizleniyor ve rahatlıkla girilebiliyor. Meşhur kaputaş plajı 10 dakika mesafede. Balkondan gördüğümüz manzaraya hayran kaldık. Mekan çok güzel. Kalkan muhteşem. Paranızın hakkını alırsınız.

Went in the quiet season, it is definitely different in summer, so only few moderately accommodated rooms were available. We were one of the 2 guests staying there, so the receptionist offered us the penthouse on top of the hotel. The view was SPECTACULAR, the rooms- average but clean and comfortable, as one of them had a slight sewer-y smell in the shower (again, they were fixing some stuff, might not be true in the summer). Overall, the resort has a really nice pool (which was not working) and is priced well, too.

Most of the hotel staff were very nice. One member of staff just appeared to stroll around with his hands in his pockets whilst other staff worked around him. Breakfast poor, little choice most mornings. Food bought during the day unappetising. Room ok, bathroom very dated, not very pleasant, quite smelly, no hot water every morning, however there was hot water in the evenings. Only wifi in the reception area. Quite a climb back from the town which was ok for us but those less mobile would need to use taxi’s. I probably wouldn’t return to this hotel but Kalkan is lovely.

Unfortunately this hotel has deteriorated, I don’t like to write bad reviews especially when Turkey has had a tough time with Covid and inflation. This hotel could be so much better (and was) with the right staff, and a little updating. The pool is lovely but the pool toilets had a large dog sleeping in the ladies all day, and the pool showers were dirty and full of inflatables. People leaving for the airport were expected to shower in the pool showers too because the hotel was full. The food that you pay for in the restaurant was very good, we had a few lunches and they were excellent. The included breakfast was terrible, it resembled leftovers and wasn’t filled up when empty. The breakfast on our previous visit in 2019 was fab. The restaurant and bar staff were miserable some of them were the same staff from 2019. If you had a small beer you were charged for a large (might be 1 price for all but I doubt it). The hotel room was basic which we knew, the bathroom was mouldy and grim and dark, the ceiling was filthy (not sure how or why), and we had to complain to get the toilet bins emptied, which is disgusting when you can’t flush it. The beds were like sleeping on slabs of rock. All in all a disappointment, we will not return to this hotel which is such a shame.

Disgusting apartment... dirty and very old broken furnishings. Bins were not emptied even tho they said was done daily. Minimal poor selection of kitchen utensils, pans, crockery etc etc No aircon in the kitchen, lounge, dinning area, and the temperature was 34 deg! Left 1 week earlier to stay in a clean hotel.

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.

We booked through easyJet and how they are using this hotel I don’t know. I asked for ground floor as disabled. They gave us second floor. The night man said I don’t think you will manage. So we will put you in ground floor for tonight and ask tomorrow if you can keep it. The room needed a really good clean. The sofas that people are supposed to sleep in are so so dirty they look as if they had been there since the 70s covered in urine stains, after 4 days I had to ask about cleaning. She only came in with a flat mop and done the living area. and had to ask for fresh towels. The sheets are old and rough on the beds. The only day I was asked if I wanted house keeping was the day before we left. The bar area is full of flies and they don’t have a zapper. Had them in drink and they only gave me a clean glass. The food was not good. Tostie was burnt and the avacado salad. The avacado was brick hard. The boss came in one day and got the guys to clean as they had a rep coming in. The pool toilet was never cleaned. The paper bin was disgusting. The hotel part was ok the rooms got cleaned and sheets changed. But in 11 days we didn’t once get fresh bedding. The staff are really not interested the pool guys who serve are so nice. If your going do hotel. The apartment are so dirty. We where told to push our beds together. Didn’t offer to do it. Some pictures for reference

Room size and bar restaurant/bar staff excellent, room price very competitive. Wifi only available in some area's no hot water till 3rd October. room cleaning not daily or very late in the day and therefore toilet bin not emptied which should be a must,cleaning standard could be better. Coffee /Tea ficilities not replaced, minibar/fridge in promotion material not honest about use with a big notice telling guests not to bring in food or drink from outside. My pillows where not comfortable. I paid extra for a balcony room which i couldn't really use other than to dry towels etc as it was directly opposite carpark so very noisy and not a place to relax with any privacy.

Bit of a mixed review, firstly the positives. The staff are excellent very friendly and helpful. The pool area and restaurant are good, the food is really nice very clean and lots of spare sunbeds . The negatives. The rooms are very dated and basic, cold water a lot of the time, the shower tray filling up and not emptying for ages. No WiFi available in the rooms , which in this day and age is pretty poor. The Hotel dog is a lovely addition, very friendly and a real character and well looked after.
