Hotel Pelin

i stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks. In this time the hotel tried to charge me for drinks i had not had. I had 100 lire stolen from my room bearing in mind that this money was in my pockets in the wardrobe. i went to the pool i came back 5 minutes later and the money was gone. Dont ever go here EVER worst holiday ever.

We returned yesterday from 2 weeks at the Pelin Hotel. We had a FANTASTIC time in this very friendly and clean hotel. The staff were incredible and always had time for our son (taking him off to fetch ice creams, fruit etc at no cost to us). They were never too busy to pay him attention and make a fuss of him.
The rooms are small and basic but cleaned every day, towels are changed daily and beds were changed about 4-5 times during our stay. The maids were lovely and would leave my night clothes aranged in patterns on the bed as they did with the towels! There was always hot water and the shower was very powerful. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom and you can hire a fridge for 50 Turkish lira for the 2 weeks. The free air con was great and really welcome in the 50+ degree heatwave that we had!!!
The pool was immaculate as was the pool area and there were plenty of sunbeds, parasols etc.
Meals were good, maybe could have done with a bit more variety for the children and smaller portions to buy from the pool side restaurant. Drinks a little bit more expensive than down at the beach front but thats quite normal in hotels. The card payment scheme was a good idea and we were never over charged or never had a problem with this (we paid each morning for the previous days bits but you can do it at the end of your stay if you wish).
Thanks to Zeke, Abdullah, Omar, Tanju, Mehmet, Ahmet, Eda, Yusef, Volkan, 'Chef' and the rest of the staff for a fantastic 2 weeks. See you again next year!
***Oh, and look out for the Turtles, Snakes and other wildlife in the river/stream that runs parallel to the Hotel. Amazing***

I am a 45 female, travelling alone and stayed at this hotel for a week in July, it cost £316 H/B, including transfers, booked with sunshine.co.uk and would do again.
Hotel was about 5 minute walk to Calis beach front where most of the restaurants are, absolutely fantastic to just sit eating your meal watching the beautiful sunsets, especially in The Terace.
The hotel was immaculately clean, I had a double room to myself! It had a small balcony inc chairs and table, tv, small but very clean bathroom. You will need to take your own travel kettle if your like me and need a coffee first thing! Air con was that good I had to turn temp UP! And it was free. Maids are lovely and in typical Turkish style, arrange your towels on beds in butterfly shapes with flower petals, sweet! Breakfast was Turkish style, there wasn't a great deal of choice for evening meal, but I enjoyed it all the same. Waiters are very friendly (as are all staff here), without going over the top and go all out to make your stay an enjoyable one. I ordered a bottle of wine one night with my meal, only had 1 glass, they put my room No on it. The next night I went for tea, it was ready for me in an ice bucket with rose petals on the table, they saved this table for me all week! In summer months, you have your evening meal on the rooftop, very nice! Pool area is apacious, but a real sun trap in hotter months, no breeze at all.Some days I used pool and loungers at hotel opp beach, they don't mind, this as long as you buy a few drinks etc from there, you then get a lovely breeze! Beach is not brilliant, very shingly and not the cleanest of beaches, but I prefer the pool anyway.If you want to walk along the sea, do take a pair of those cheapy croc shoe things, as the tiny stones really hurt your feet and you sink into them!
It's good to take the boat taxi over to Fethiye and watch the sunset, it's stunning. I went over one night and had my meal over there, cost of boat taxi, I think is 5TL ret. If you would like the best pedicure yuo have had, go to Hotel Gunes on beachfront, only cost 12TL, about £6, I paid £30 in UK the week before and was nowhere near as good!
I would definateley reccommend this hotel!
Oh, and forgot to mention the singing frogs! On way back to hotel at night, if you follow the canal road (adjacent to beachfront), there are really high reeds, there are 1000'sof frogs in here, they are so loud, it's really funny, I couldn't believe the noise they made, as if they really were singing!
This was my 4th time in Calis, i'm sure you will return, it's such a laid back resort, I LOVE IT!!!

Just returned from a week at this hotel, we did not book this hotel but ended up here due to our original hotel being overbooked! Overall a very pleasant hotel to stay in a good location.
Pool was very nice and of a good size and cleaned daily, the rooms were clean and uncomplicated, balcony was a bit small but adeqate, air-conditioning in rooms was free, tv and hairdryer also included, hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
Hotel although full was quiet and relaxing mainly due to only 25% of the residents being British! the other 75% were German and Dutch.
Food was below average which lets this hotel down and was mainly aimed at the German holidaymakers comprising of typical turkish / continental breakfast however, Calis Beach is only across the main road which was difficult to cross due to high curbs! and there were plenty of resturants and bars to choose from to eat / drink.
Hotel uses a card system to purchase drinks etc. rather than hard cash (but can use cash if wish) and we found it easier to clear our bill daily so you dont run up a large and unexpected bill at the end of your stay! We had a good enjoyable relaxing week.
