We stayed here during our honeymoon, and it was by far the best decision we made during our three weeks stay in Turkey.
We stayed at many five-star hotels during our travels, but this experience went far above and beyond. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the hotel owner, Murat, upon our arrival. Throughout our entire stay he treated us like royalty. When we asked him for restaurant recommendations, he not only gave us one, but personally called the restaurant owner and made a reservation under his name and got us an incredible seat. The dinner was the best that we’ve had during our stay thus far.
He invited us to a bonfire and tea at 8:30 pm that night, where he met us again to inquire how our dinner went. We had a lovely time around the fire with him, learning about him and his family business, and he giving us more recommendations for our stay.
Outdoing himself, on the second day after we arrived back at our hotel room, we were surprised by a beautiful scene and gesture left by Murat and his staff. He had remembered that it was our honeymoon, and this was such a thoughtful gift that we will never forget.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The accommodations were very clean and thoughtfully designed. They felt warm and cozy and very peaceful. The grounds are full of fruit trees, and the entire property feels so alive and refreshing.
We were absolutely delighted with our all too brief stay at the Alicra Hotel. We will certainly be back again!
