This place is sheer heaven, the most boutique of all the places we ever stayed in. You think you are on a remote Mediterranean island! Every corner is worth a postcard: the flowers, the plants, the balconies … It’s an interior architect’s dream. Staff is very welcoming and helpful and the restaurant excellent. You may not want to leave!

Once you leave the hotel, the spell is broken. You’re not in paradise but in a rather bland area of Kalkan. Two restaurants nearby have recently closed so if you don’t eat in, you have to go to the city centre. By taxi (fixed price) or a 30 min walk involving a serious climb up! The wifi in the hotel could be better!

A simply stunning and beautiful hotel. Incredible position overlooking the sea in an elevated position that meant you had to force yourself out of the hotel. Impeccable staff in all areas who were attentive but not overpowering, very knowledgeable about the area and always there if you needed them. The rooms were amazing, with beautiful wooden designs coupled with modern luxuries. The cleaning ladies were lovely and worked around your schedules, so when nipping out, you came back to a room that was immaculate. Ohh...and the food standard and options were great. I forgot what real fruit looked and tasted lime....delicious breakfast. We just can't fault in anyway this hotel. We had an amazing time in beautiful Turkey (Kalkan) and the hotel really did make this memorable. Without question, we will be returning to Fidanka Hotel. Thank you to all the staff. :)

Genuinely,....nothing at all

The hotel is a gem. The view from the rooms is pretty amazing both in the daytime and at night. The staff is friendly. The facilities are so unique and gorgeous they are to be remembered. The breakfast was delicious!! Also a special thank you for upgrading our room. We had a lovely time!

The bedsheet for our king bed was a bit smaller than expected! So try to ask for an extra sheet in advance. That's a tiny detail though that doesn't take away from a 10/10

This is a wonderful hotel. Although only 19 years old, the stone and wooden buildings and gardens are full of character. Our room, just along the road, was beautiful and very comfortable. Excellent views to the sea. The staff are without exception fantastic, especially Hashim and Verat in the dining area and Gulfiz in Reception. Genuinely, nothing is too much for them; excellent service. Nice beach clubs nearby, particularly Mahal and Kalkan Beach. The food is sensational, both breakfast and dinner. We had 2 dinners out but they were not nearly as good as the 5 we ate in.

Very little. The Wi-Fi is poor but that is an aspect of the position (no fibre optic) and Government policy. There are some barking dogs at night, particularly down by the sea. A fact but not the hotel’s fault. It didn’t bother us, as we didn’t use the main pool, but some people, mostly English, of an age who really should know better were bagging loungers before breakfast. Smoking in the dining area is an issue, particularly from one very difficult Turkish guest. Finally, if you don’t like cats, maybe don’t stay. There are several around the place including sometimes on chairs and even tables - all in fine condition and well behaved - but they are not everyone’s best friend. Absolutely fine for us.

Location was approximately 1 mile outside of Kalkan town, that was perfect for us but it depends on what other travelers are looking for. You can walk the distance however there is a busy road in parts and a LOT of uphill walking. Taxis are really cheap and only a couple of minutes travel time so it is no issue whatsoever to be outside of the main town. The hotel itself is even better in real life than the photos, there is greenery everywhere which looks stunning. The cleanliness is superb and the staff could not do enough to help

Wi-Fi was a little sketchy but that is not the be all and end all to me and for the most part it was available

Beautiful hotel. The plants, foliage, colours, the decor are all very unique and unlike anywhere else we have stayed. We booked the exclusive suite and this was worth every penny. The views were outstanding, sunbeds on the balcony and seating area inside taking advantage of the views. Breakfast was different and not your standard fare as in many of the other restaurants. It was delicious. We dined in the restaurant a few evenings and the service and food were very good . We took a taxi to the centre several nights and this cost around 170tl each way. The hotel will book the taxi for you. We used villa mahal beach club (very chilled with lovely lunches) most days which is a 5-10 minute walk downhill...slightly longer uphill!! I would highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a relaxing break.

We didn't use the pools so can't really comment but the other guests seemed ro enjoy their stay around te pool.

This is a really special place. The beautiful gardens and amazing views the comfortable spacious rooms with lovely balconies make this such a relaxing place to stay. The food is very good here we ended up having dinner here several times and the breakfasts have a wide variety of lovely dishes to choose from. What makes this hotel stand out though are the truly amazing staff - they go above and beyond to be helpful and friendly , nothing is ever too much from organising a boat trip to a taxi and ensuring you feel well looked after. It is an oasis of calm with stunning views and a great atmosphere- we don’t want to leave!!

The hotel is located on a Cliffside overlooking Kalkan with a view of the Bay. It is a lovely landscaped complex with lots of Bougainvilla and other flowering trees and vines that make for an exquisite environment. The breakfast has many selections of of delectable items you eat in a garden environment with delightful views. We had dinner and it was an amazing food adventure and very romantic. Our room actually had two rooms which were spacious and adequate. We also had a terrace with chairs in front of our room and which were a few steps away from the pool area, there was a library sitting area with ample selections and a very exotic feel to it. The staff took time to spend letting us know of possible day trips and the aspects of the property. There was a bar at the pool and many people took advantage of spending the day by the pool. The television was small and only had two or three English news stations.The pool has shallow and deep ends and there are steps to enter it.

In order to get to the property you had to climb about 12 steps to the entry way. There is ample parking but beware that you are parking on a hill. Pictures of the property make you believe that it is spread out over a long area. Basically you there is a central staircase from the pool area that goes up to the different levels of the of each room so if you have mobility issues, be aware that there is no elevator.

The friendliness of the staff is the hotels main highlight. The breakfast, lunches, and dinners were out of this world. Stunning pool areas for relaxation and a short drive to some of the main beaches. The sunsets were unparalleled across the bay. We wished we had stayed longer. Hotel decor is super quirky and lively. It was more than a hotel. Last but not least, the cats are super cute, friendly, and well-behaved. If fed, they will most certainly follow you to your room and rest under your sofa.

A Mediterranean fairytale, this hotel and everything about Kalkan was over the top for myself and my friend! Beautiful views from our room with a flora & fauna terrace and a very safe town in general! The staff in Fidanka were very helpful, friendly and always smiling- special thanks to Gulfiz as she gave a very professional briefing upon our arrival and has majorly helped with sending us some suggestions for nearby beaches and best-rated eateries in town. Breakfast and lunch/ dinner were good! Background music was light and gave off some classic mystical vibes. Lobby furnishings were so vintage-like, quirky and antiqueish. I'll leave the pictures to you to decide on the overall landscaping of this eco-friendly hotel as it's surrounded by these beautiful trees, flowers and a magical-looking garden! It's worthy to note as well that during our stay at Fidanka Hotel, we got a late night cancellation from a tourism company that was responsible to pick us up the next day for a Jeep Safari tour around Saklikent Canyon; however, Fidanka Hotel jumped right in and helped us immediately book a boat ride/trip the next day instead so as to not waste time during the day, and no regrets as we had the time of our life on the boat trip to Simena and the Sunken City! Last but not least, this hotel is almost a 10-15 minute drive to one of the most beautiful world-famous beaches, Kaputas Beach!

Just the addition of some of the amenities- like a reception number/ landline. The lack of this will prompt you to leave your room and look for someone in reception/ text focal point number at the hotel and wait for their response. Other than that, this hotel is almost perfect! I would recommend and depending on your stay of course, to try the hotel's food for lunch/dinner once/ twice only but then head to town for an even better Kalkanic taste. Food and vibes in town are not to be missed!
