Elixir Hotel

The size of the room was great and had a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. There were three of us with our 4 year old son so it was nice to not feel cramped. The bath / hot tub on the balcony didn’t work but we didn’t really have the time either so it didn’t bother us. The breakfast was excellent with fresh bread and brought to your table every morning.

We loved absolutely everything from this hotel, but the best part was the staff. Everyone was very nice and helpful, and they speak very well in English. The pool area is also amazing. It's a very big area with many lounging beds for the size of this hotel, so it was never full.

Staying at Elixir was a really special experience for us. The past few years we've stayed at some lovely hotels, but despite being fantastic, they've not had the personal touch that we experienced at Elixir. From the moment we arrived, the staff were just incredible. Not only are they incredibly helpful and accommodating, but they're just genuinely nice people. And that was what made our trip – we stayed for 12 nights and left feeling like we were leaving friends. It really does feel like a little family. Beyond the wonderful staff, the hotel itself is really great. The pool was perfect for the kids who spent countless hours in there. My wife and I loved the day beds by the pool and the jacuzzi area, and the shallow spots were great for our 5 year old. The restaurant and bar area was really nice – we had many a cocktail whilst the kids learnt to play pool (read as threw balls around the room). The rooms were also lovely – we ended up upgrading part way through our stay to one of the suites, and had zero regrets as the views across Kalkan and Kalamar bay below were unreal. We were able to sit out at night while the kids slept and just take in the view over a bottle of wine. Elxir is not a glitzy place, but it feels luxurious at the same time. It's got a really nice relaxed feel to it, and its small enough to feel personal, whilst being large enough that you never feel like your on top of other guests. Getting into town was about a 15 minute walk down hill, which was pretty easy, and we did that most nights. Coming back is fairly steep uphill, so we ended up getting taxis home because it was hot and we are lazy! However, taxis are super cheap - a taxi back was 200 lira, or about £3.50, and saved a lot of whinging from the kids. I would recommend Elixir to others in a heartbeat and we hope to return. It was perfect for us as a young family (kids are 7 and 5), but I could see it being equally perfect for a couple wanting a romantic getaway.

This Hotel is AMAZING and really exceeded our expectations. I don't usually write reviews but on this occasion I feel I have to! The team at the hotel went out of their way to welcome us and to make sure we had everything we needed. There was nothing that we could want that wasn't provided. The rooms were spacious and spotless. The breakfast is delicious and the bar and restaurant in the hotel were also fab.

Absolutely everything- stunning hotel with the most wonderful and amazing staff I have ever met, the pool, the delicious food and drinks, I can go on..

Had a really great stay. Staff super friendly and accommodating. Lovely hotel - perfect balance of quiet and relaxing, but with enough people about to have a positive atmosphere. Great breakfast, nice pool, nice room. No complaints. Location more than convenient - away from the main area but close enough to be in walking distance.

Wonderful hotel, staff are excellent, attentive, helpful and go above and beyond. Pool area is just beautiful with plenty of shade !

A perfect little oasis!! Tranquil setting with backdrop of mountains. Lovely pool area with cabana beds. The staff at hotel all go out of their way for you - fantastic team. Special shoutout to Zeynep, Kamal who organise everything and going that extra mile! Also to Atalay, Meryem and Eren for their great hospitality and warm smiles. The breakfasts and lunches were also superb!! Definitely recommend.

The hotel was very nice. Comfortable rooms and a great swimmingpool. The hotel a very friendly staff that in combination with a hotel itself created a great atmosphere.

Beautiful hotel, really gorgeous pool area. Lots of lovely plants and flowers made it so pretty and the building was slightly rustic looking which added to the charm. There were loads of nooks and crannies to sit in around the pool area. Absolutely loved the cabanna sun beds - really comfy and luxury feeling. The bar area was great with snooker table and big TV. The football was on a couple of times and made for a lively and entertaining evening. The staff were all absolutely lovely and friendly and we were very well looked after. Breakfast was a wide range of food, mostly Turkish traditional but also lots of fruit, pancakes etc. It was 10-15 minute walk into town, very easy. Friendly area, very touristy down at the harbour - masses of great restaurants. Our room was spacious and lovely with a comfy bed and nice quiet air conditioning for night time. Thoroughly recommend this delightful hotel!
