This is the best stay you can ever find in Fethiye, no match. The view you get to see everyday out of the window is unmatched, the cleanliness, the scenery, and the services are amazing, and the hospitality is beyond expectations - Mr Kemal and Mr Ersin (Two brothers running this Family Hotel) helped us exploring the island, booking trips around Fethiye for local prices, and happily transported us from the Hotel to the beach any time for free (the boat trip itself is a mezmerizing experience and is a call away). I even got injured at the end of our trip (twisted my ankle in a mischievous adventure in the mountains - my mistake), Mr Kemal and Mrs Emma (she's also a very kind lady working at the Hotel) never hesitated to provide me with first aid and medicine all day long, they helped me recover much faster and I'll always be thankful for their care even though they didn't have to. Long story short, you'll never find anyone as trustworthy and welcoming as Mr Kemal and his team, and you'll never find a better deal than Şövalye hotel (we did our research so you don't have to). Either for discovering Fethiye, or for a calm stay on the island. for us we'll definitely be back one day.

Nothing, we'll be coming back soon for sure :)

The island location is lovely for a quiet and restful stay and the boat transfer was quick. It's nice to walk around the island looking at the archeology, the other properties, and the views. Hotel is bright and clean, as was the room, and the view great. Breakfast was sufficient with cheeses, tomatoes, eggs etc (as expected for Turkey). Lunch and/or dinner available if required. Prices very reasonable. Plenty of sun-beds, umbrellas etc. Use of kayaks if wanted. Kemal and family are very nice and very hospitable and nothing is too much trouble.

Tea/coffee facilities in the room would be a bonus, but are available in the communal areas if you ask.

Since it is on an island, you are away from the chaos of the city. The view from the rooms is beautiful. The internet is very fast and you can connect from anywhere.

The hotel needs some improvement in some areas. For example, the bathroom. And also you can hear all the noises from the other room nearby yours due to sharing the same ventilation chimney at the bathroom. You can swim in front of the hotel, but since Fethiye Bay is not very clean compared to other areas, you will inevitably encounter water that is not clear. From time to time, between 9pm and 1am, the noise of loud entertainment in Fethiye can reach your room.

Very quiet island no roads. The hotel is run by two brothers one of whom cooks well. Both were friendly and helpful. Kemal has a good command of English and is interested in the world outside Turkey. Our room (101) had a balcony and overlooked the sea to the mainland. Breakfast was the same for each day bread an egg cooked to order, tomato and cucumber cheese olives gozleme homemade jam tea or coffee. Fruit juice is extra but the orange juice we had was freshly squeezed and delicious. Not much goes on on the island there a a couple of hotels which are very expensive to eat at. The brothers will cook to order with enough notice. Dinner was well prepared and nourishing. We had fresh fruit and a sandwich for lunch one day. Boat trips will stop and pick up at the island. It may be possible to hire kayaks or sailboards.

The island is not big enough for a decent walk but there are beaches with safe swimming. It is very quiet and a good place to chill for a few days. It is easy to take a boat to Fetihye for the day or a boat trip to nearby islands.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sovalye Hotel in Turkey, and I must say it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the hotel's stunning location and views, impeccable cleanliness, delectable food, outstanding hospitality, and the warmth and kindness shown by the hosts, Kemal and Urcin that treated me like family. Sovalye Hotel boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Nestled on a picturesque island, the hotel offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere, allowing me to unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether it's gazing at the sunset from the terrace or my own balcony from the bed - or taking a leisurely stroll along the beaches, the hotel's location is truly a haven for relaxation and tranquility. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to me when choosing a hotel, and Sovalye Hotel definitely delivered in this aspect. The entire property was immaculate, and attention to detail was evident in every corner. From the pristine rooms to the spotless common areas, it was clear that they take great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. This added an extra level of comfort to my stay, knowing that every effort was made. One of the highlights of my stay at Sovalye Hotel was undoubtedly the food. The hotel's restaurant offers an exceptional culinary experience, with a wide range of mouthwatering dishes that showcase the best of Turkish cuisine. In the end, it was Kemal and Urcin who make the hotel what it is. They are incredibly kind, pre-empting every single need as a guest you could imagine. I was truly spoiled and will be back! Thank you SO much to you both!

This is no fault of the hotel but the island has no stores.

This is a secluded place with private beaches and an interesting underwater world. The host is very welcoming and hospitable. Everything is exactly as described in other reviews.

It lacked a cozy atmosphere. Everything was super clean, but we stayed on the fourth floor, and I, for example, love drinking tea. I had to go downstairs to ask for hot water, which was inconvenient. I wanted to relax, not run up and down the stairs. The breakfasts were repetitive and became tiresome even by the second day.

The staff displayed remarkable friendliness and were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Our room was not only clean and recently refurbished but also offered a delightful view from the balcony. The WiFi connection was really good, among the best I've experienced on my holidays. Additionally, the beach on the island was consistently deserted, offering a peaceful atmosphere.

I would have appreciated a more diverse breakfast during our nearly two-week stay at the hotel. Having the same breakfast every day became monotonous.

The location is beautiful. There is a lovely garden to relax in. The terrace is lovely to sit and eat and just relax. There are canoes and fishing rods available to use The rooms are very comfortable, clean with amazing views The hosts are very friendly and helpful I will definitely be returning

Although you have a jetty to use for swimming off of it does not have a beach as such that you can lay by and walk into the water. A kettle and tea making facilities proper fridge would of been nice, also a daily bottle of water left in room

Great experience to live on the island: no cars; all the beaches with crystal water in 1min walk. Amazing owners of the hotel (Kemal and his brother) were kind, responsive and attentive, we were surrounded by care. In the hotel, we took the paddle board and kayak and made the trips around the island. Kemal even gave us paddle boarding lessons. Laundry service was also very convenient.

The hotel is unique, combining all advantages of a family-run hotel with those of the environment (a small island away from the busy coast of Fethiye). The owner Kemal was always amiable and helpful, providing in-depth information about the region. The hotel serves complimentary breakfast and dinner on demand, for a very reasonable price. There is no restaurant a-la-carte which was not a problem since we liked the delicious homemade Turkish dishes cooked by Kemal’s brother Ersin. There is access to a nearby beach which is never crowded, as there are no other hotels nearby, and it is situated in a bay (thus no high waves even on windy days, unlike on Calis Beach in Fethiye city). Rooms have very comfortable beds and good WiFi access. Transportation to Calis Beach is provided by the hotel owner. Overall, a lovely nice and very memorable place to stay, especially for those who are tired of big crowds and want to experience a quiet and friendly atmosphere of a small community while having almost exclusive access to the beach and other facilities.

No cons, only some pieces of advice. Like in other places in the region, there are rocks on the beach and underwater, so wearing swimming shoes is strongly advised. Also, there is no market on the island, so for any purchases, you have to go to the city (which is possible anytime during the working hours of the hotel). There are two restaurants in the vicinity (each with its own boat for guest transportation). Both restaurants usually require an advance reservation for dinner, as they are popular among guests from Fethiye city.
