Captain Kemal Apart Hotel

Been to Kaptan Kemal 5 times, was a brilliant place to stay until this last time 24/5/10. What a SHOCK!!!!!! They are now a first choice 2wenty's so if you like being kept awake with all night parties and then idiots running round and bombing in the pool all day these will be good appartments for you. The cleaning standards have gone down, we got our towels changed twice in two weeks and the second change I had to ask for, the bedding was changed once,there were dirty great cobwebs on the ceilings and the bathroom floor and toilet was cleaned twice. We have never in all the times we stayed there, had to pay a deposit but this time we were charged 100 Lira also we have never had to pay extra to keep the room because we had an early morning flight but this time they charged us £30.00. Think the bar man was trying to pull a fast one as he said the cost was either £30.00 or 100 Lira (which works out about £48.00) needless to say we paid in english so please be AWARE. When we were leaving they actually had the nerve to thank us for leaving the appartment so clean (it was cleaner than when we arrived). Must say I am gutted as these appartments are in a good location and were quite comfy, but never again will we stay there.

Captain Kemal is a good apartment it has good service and a great pool.every body is nice and you dont have to go far for the resteraunts,shops or the beach just about 20 minutes.it is also a good place for a family holiday.

Was at Captan Kemal apartments in July and since been back in September. All the staff were very friendly and a big thank you to all for making our holiday a very good one the Turkish nights were really good so thanks again to Ali, Kemal, Baris, And Batu.
This hotel is well recommended and i will certainly be going back next year. The hotel is very clean the pool is always very clean and the rooms are cleaned everyday and very good standard.
It is close to bar street and may I say club x bar is very good and uncle festers do a very good steak so you must try it. Captan kemal is not far away from the beach either so it is in a very good part of Gumbet. So it is worth staying here.

I spent a week at the Captain Kemal Apart, It was wonderful week. The hotel is excellent, it is a family business. When you have a problem you can contact with owner of the hotel easily.
And they look after hotel customers very well. The rooms are very comfortable every room has a very big balcony. With a bad room and a big saloon there is enough place to stay with 4 people. It is very close to centre and very close to beach. And swimming pool is a big one very clean. I really enjoyed my holiday.

One of the best holidays we have ever had, we were a party of 6 adults and 6 children. The hotel staff could not do enough to make our stay thoroughly enjoying.
Food and drink was so cheap we lived like kings for the full two weeks and never found the need to cook once in the hotel. We shall not be shopping around in 2006 and will be booking the kaptan again , thanks to everybody concerned who made our stay first class.

We found the apartments to be clean but facilities for cooking very poor. OK for just the two of us but for anyone with a family it would have been a nightmare. Only a two hob electric "portable" tabletop cooker, no oven, no microwave, no toaster. Don’t be fooled into believing stories about Marmaris being cheap - IT IS NOT.
For example a typical evening meal for my wife & I cost around 50 million lira (approx £23) and we would not have a starter or sweet. Wine would cost 6 to 7 million lira per glass. I would say that it is now more expensive than Britain and to be honest the quality of food & drink is pretty average.
The air conditioning struggled to cope with the high temperatures (39 deg C) during the day but still did enough to provide some relief from the conditions. The staff were friendly and the pool area generally relaxed although there were occasions when I would have liked to have popped across the road to an adjacent hotel and turned their volume down a bit!
The apartments are very close to the beach but unless you are lucky enough to get an apartment on the east side third floor or higher, looking outward you will not see the sea. For anyone travelling to Turkey for the first time a bit of advice.
Expect to be pestered from the minute you leave your apartments by every shop, cafe, and restaurant to get your business. It didn’t bother me too much but my wife was totally scunnered by the end of the second week. The return journey is a nightmare - Dalaman Airport is a military airport and they treat you like cattle from the minute you get off the bus.
For example you have to queue to get into the airport as they x-ray all luggage and this would be long hot and frustrating during the day as no one controls the new bus loads joining the queue’s.

The apartments are of a high standard very clean and well equipped for self-catering although because food is first class and inexpensive in turkey we never cooked once during our stay.
The appartments are only a short stroll from the sea and beach and numerous bars and cafes. Everyone is very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble rooms are cleaned every day and beds changed twice clean towels are provided every day a truly enjoyable holiday and we have already booked to go back in September would recommend it to anyone.
