Smile Hotel — Hotel in Kemer

Smile is just perfect and we have had an absolutely fantastic time. Ismail is really friendly and helpful and arranged so much for us - airport transfers, lifts to Yanartes, boat trips, restaurant recommendations (but his food was the best!), hikes to secluded coves, when to see turtles hatching... The bungalows are spacious, private very clean, well maintained, have efficient air con, a king size bed, good size wardrobe, full size under counter fridge, wicker porch furniture, hammock and sunbeds all set in beautiful gardens containing a mix of fruit trees (pomegranate, lime and plum next to our porch) roses, palms and shrubs. Chickens wander around and provide the freshest eggs and we also saw tortoises, baby turtles hatching, a loggerhead turtle (in the sea at Cobani Liman on the boat trip) and we were even accompanied by a sweet dog for 3 hours to a cove and back! Smile hotel is located in a quiet part of Cirali and is an easy cycle - on the free bikes provided to use - to the busier end of the beach/village and Olympos. The quiet section of beautiful beach was a 2 minute walk and there is a small shop for essentials almost next door. Ismail is a fantastic cook and the breakfasts are incredible, a feast really, you don't need lunch, especially as they are served until 11 and so you can swim or walk in the cooler part of the day first. All dinners were fresh and delicious, you can help yourself to tea and coffee and the home made baklava was sublime! In all we (myself and 2 teenage children) stayed 16 days and had the most wonderful time - Thank you Ismail - we can;t wait to...

we arrived to Ciraly on our travel to Kemer. it was too early for season, but this nice and cosy pansion was already opened for guests. we found it perfect and had been staying there for 10 days. sea is just 1 minutes by walk, enourmous size of breakfast (turkish style, every time we even could not eat untill evening )))) By the way: all products are from there own garden. the owners are international couple: she is russian and she cooks like in Mishelin's restarants (dinner a-la cart acording your preference): he is turkish and great fisherman, so you could join to his morning fish-hunting. They provide us with maps, recomended what to see surround and shows a real human hospitality. Bungalows is really big and comfortable (45 sq.m), even enough for 3 people (our 6- years daughter lives for free ) we are highly recommend this plase for those who want just to be with your family...

We stayed two nights there and that place is truly heaven like. We just got off from a night bus, and it took us another hour before getting there. So, it is not hard to imagine our feelings when we find ourselves in the middle of such a beautiful place, surrounded by cute wooden houses and countless fruit trees and the ocean close by. The room is well equipped and cleaned. I particularly loved the table on the porch and the hammock on the side next to a lemon tree. The staff is really nice and offers us a great turkish breakfast (if you know what I mean). We have discovered there the best cheese in the country, a fresh goat cheese that we call the God Cheese. We suspect it is a kind of locally made cheese. Don't miss the "little ruins by the ocean," as our host put it. Actually, it is a pretty big city and it should take you a while to go through this....
