Tamara Hotel

The Tamara Hotel has a lovely location; the views are impressive and the landscape of the hotel grounds is very natural and appealing. The hotel provides the necessary elements for a comfortable short break, although there are no facilities on site aside from a bar, restaurant and two small pools. The town of Kas is a 15 min taxi ride away, but there is a limit to how many hot trips along a bumpy road that you can stomach. The hotel also run some mini bus shuttles there during the daytime.
You will do well to keep a constant check on your bar and food tabs as the staff are very lax and the drinks, in particular, are ridiculously expensive (watermelon juice 10YTL, or nearly £5!). There is not a practice of showing you prices for anything unless you ask in advance! Make sure you view each voucher and add them up at the end as the "office" made repeated "mistakes" with our extras at the end of our stay. Needless to say, they weren't undercounting!
We would strongly advise prospective visitors to approach the hotel direct and to avoid the massively over inflated prices and very poor service offered by ELIXIR holidays (for travellers coming from the UK), who failed to pay the hotel for our accommodation costs and are currently being pursued for breach of contract. Transfer costs from Dalaman need to be negotiated with the hotel or you might want to consider a hire car; there are many worthwhile sites to visit within easy striking distance and you will save a lot on taxi fares (one-way to Kas is about £8 currently). If you are negotiating transfers, be aware that the quoted costs tend to vary. We had a turkish spreaking friend do this on our behalf before leaving the UK; the cost should be around 150 YTL (70 GBP). Journey times from Dalaman are longer than advertised; it took us 2hrs 40 mins on a slow return, with traffic. Hence, the high costs I suppose, but nothing to justify the ridiculous round-cost of £295 (yes, really!) offered by Elixir in their pimped-up mini bus.
Would we go back? Not a chance. Sorry Tamara, but you need to ditch the crooks that you are associated with in the UK and advertise independently.
Go independent, plan in advance and hopefully you should avoid some of the mess that we encountered.
