We stayed for 11 days in early May and we were very pleased with the hotel. It's small, very clean and staffed by friendly and helpful people. I have been in 5 star hotels in the past which were not as good as The Samira Exclusive. Rooms were cleaned every day and towels were changed; the towels were very good quality, thick and fluffy and bering the hotel's insignia. The only not so good points are the WIFI, which can be temperamental and the breakfast which was underwhelming. Breakfast consisted of mainly cold salads, boiled eggs and two warm (never hot enough) dishes; these were usually chopped local sausages mixed with peppers, and potatoes or occasionally baked beans. If you wanted eggs cooked any other way it would cost extra, this seemed a little petty; the bread however was very good. We didn't eat there in the evenings but I understand from others that the quality of the menu at that time was very good. We had a late evening flight home and asked about the possibility of extending our check out by a few hours, this cost us £40, which I feel is quite steep. The hotel was quite empty when we arrived but began to fill up as the season progressed and I can see possible problems in the high season with queues in the restaurant which is small and finding beds around the pool. Of course we already saw people rising at cock crow to claim beds with their towels and often these beds were hardly used, this is something the hotel should clamp down on. There is no lift either so the hotel is only accessible to the able bodied. Kalkan itself is very impressive; it's extremely picturesque, surrounded by hills and peppered with small winding cobbled streets full of restaurants and art shops, no sign of the usual tourist 'tat'. It is very steep though and I wouldn't recommend it to disabled people or those with small children and push chairs. It is also very expensive, eating out cost us about the same as we would pay to eat out in the UK. People who were frequent visitors told us the prices has almost doubled in the last year or two since Covid. Would I recommend it? Definitely, and I would return to the Samira Exclusive but it would be nice to see the points I have raised being addressed.
My first experience in hamam was quite interesting, relaxing, and satisfying. First of all, I applaud the amiability of the hosts who introduced me to the concept and were kind to guide me through the leaflet. I chose an Aroma Therapy Package which consisted of hamam part, whole body massage with oils I selected, a clay mask, and finally the hair treatment. I might be lucky since the season hasn't started and it was quite peaceful and relaxed all the while I was there. Inside of the Turkish bath, I got scrubbed and cleaned with soap, my hair was washed too, and after that part was done, I got a short but long enough toilet break and snack break (fruits and juice was provided). The next part took place in the massage room where I got my full body aromatherapy massage, my face mask and hair oil applied. I was provided with all the things I needed to get from one room to the other, I had my key with me, and the lady who bathed me and gave me a massage took care that I don't lose it out of sight. As of recently it's possible to pay by card. The place is clean and smells great and the hosts and staff are really pleasant to interact and work with 😊
