Antmare Hotel

We absolutely loved our stay at Antmare. The outdoor areas are simply beautiful, peaceful, charming and the perfect place to relax. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wonderful selection, and the whole hotel has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everything feels very well cared for and we would happily come back.

Nothing to complain about, we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here. We should have booked a longer stay. =) We didnt like that about us. The hotel was tooooo good for one night only.

The location was one of my favorite things about the hotel. It was incredibly serene, quiet, picturesque and quaint, with a very authentic Turkish character and energy. I really hope the hotel keeps this, because it gives the property a lot of charm and makes it feel very different from a generic international hotel. A taxi would cost you 400-500 lira into town each night (about 6-8 euros) which I highly recommend doing! I also really enjoyed the spa facilities. The hammam was beautiful, although it would have been even better to have someone available to provide a traditional Turkish hammam experience that would lift the level of the hotel instantly. The sauna was excellent too. The massage was particularly good. I had quite a lot of pain in my back, and the Indonesian therapist was amazing she genuinely helped relieve the pain. Top marks to her. The prices are too high though always at hotels all over the world. The global institutions of hotels need to improve in this in every country not just this hotel. The pool area was peaceful and relaxing, and the food and drink options around the pool were good. Overall, the hotel is a lovely place to switch off and relax. I particularly liked talking to the guy with slick back gelled hair he was always very friendly and even gave me some grapes off the trees!

The main area I think could be improved is breakfast. I liked its traditional, almost “from the back garden” Turkish feeling, and I definitely wouldn’t want the hotel to lose that authenticity. However, for a hotel positioned at this level, I expected a little more variety and some international breakfast basics alongside the Turkish offering. For example, scrambled eggs were available but carried an additional charge or Turkish ones (which I tried once and it was very nice); but I don’t think should be the case at breakfast. It should have been included. It would also have been nice to have poached eggs, different styles of boiled eggs, a toaster, croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice and a wider selection of fruit such as bananas and strawberries or kiwis. The yogurt selection was also quite basic, with essentially just plain yogurt. The honey was nice with this though so made up for it! I think a slightly broader selection of Western and perhaps Asian options would make the breakfast more suitable for international guests without taking away from the hotel's Turkish identity. Based on my experience staying in many four- and five-star hotels internationally, the breakfast offering currently feels closer to a good three- to four-star level. It tasted very garden like and organic which I loved! Finally, the internet needs an upgrade to a fast wide spread internet service across the entire hotel, not one that floats on and off all the time. This was particularly important for me being a digital nomad.

Struttura bella, pulita con colazione con ottimi prodotti

La struttura è davvero adatta per un soggiorno rilassante tuttavia se la spiaggetta fosse più grande sarebbe perfetto

Amazing hotel and facilities, excellent location, delicious food and the best of all, the staff were really nice, friendly and welcoming!
