True Blue own two hotel within 10 minutes walk of each other. Our booking was moved from Boutique Hotel Kalkan to Payava, we had originally booked a self catering 2 bedroom apartment and were moved to a 2 bedroom family suite. Payava included a buffet breakfast and there was a fridge and kettle in the bedroom. The suite was large with 1 king bedroom with lounge area, 1 twin bedroom and large shower room there was also a terrace with table and chairs and sun loungers. Our children loved the heated swimming pool. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection from cereals and breads to yogurts and fruit plus continental meats and cheeses and choice of eggs. The staff were really friendly and helpful, there is a book exchange in reception and a local map. The heart of the town is a short (hilly) walk away although restaurants, cafes and a supermarket next to the hotel. There is a free car park to the rear of the hotel.

The breakfast was absolutely exceptional. Most delicious homemade eggs - different every day; fruit and homemade jams etc even honeycomb honey for the yogurt. Have been to many hotels in different places but this is probably the best hotel breakfast I have ever had.

The apartment was fantastic for our family of 4 - extremely clean and very nicely decorated. The staff were all supremely lovely and so helpful. The pool area and bar were really nice and pretty bouji! The breakfast was excellent

The pool was so cold The hotel is quite a walk (25 minutes) from the old town. We tended to walk in (mostly downhill!) and then cab back. Not too much of a problem as there were plenty of bars, restaurants, beach clubs and a supermarket within a 5-min walk

What a lovely hotel, rooms were so clean, had everything you needed and the staff were brilliant. Great pool, great bar and the beer came in an iced glass. The breakfast was amazing with everything home made and staff couldn’t do enough.

I couldn’t find a fault with the hotel, nothing was too much trouble. Reception was really helpful, always on hand and the guys at the bar chased away a few wasps while we ate.

Lovely hotel in a quiet suburb of Kalkan. On arrival we were warmly greeted and had all the usual explanations about the hotel nicely explained. Lovely room, so clean with plenty of space. Breakfast is fantastic - all the usual Turkish choices but a great emphasis on quality and freshness. Nice pool which was always clean and well tended. Comfy proper loungers not the plastic ones. Pool bar is very good and prices are very reasonable. No gym which I understand as it’s a boutique hotel but they kindly arranged for me to pay and use one in the hotel opposite which worked well for us. So a lovely week in a great location with some very nice staff ensuring you have a good time.

Tuba, Rafi and the team have created a wonderful oasis at True Blue Boutique. They are warm and welcoming and always available to help. The incredible homemade breakfast with options for all tastes will set you up for the day and we looked forward to seeing what treats were on offer each morning. We especially liked the selection of homemade cakes, local pastries and the impressive fruit salad offered the tastiest melon, figs and strawberries we've ever had. The large pool area feels like a beautiful garden and is a tranquil spot to relax with modern loungers and extremely comfortable day beds. The poolside bar offers a really good selection of affordable food and drinks. Our favourites were the meatballs and rice and the homemade chips were amazing so we ordered multiple times. Mid afternoon we were served free ice cold watermelon which was a lovely surprise and a really nice touch. Our room was clean and nicely decorated in a stylish scandi boho theme with a very large comfy bed and super comfy sette. We were also very impressed that housekeeping was daily. The location is outside of town offering peace and quiet and is perfect for nearby beach clubs, a short walk away from a supermarket and some restaurants and bars in Kalamar road A 5 min taxi drive gets you into the old town of Kalkan and harbour where you have a vast selection of bars and restaurants. We thoroughly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to book again if in Kalkan. Tesekkur Tuba!!

Very stylish apartment with everything you need. Well equipped kitchen and all household staff: iron and ironing board, washing machine, drying rack, microwave, gas stove, hair dryer. Cozy beautiful plaids. Big balcony for chilling or working: big table with chairs and the bird nest close to us. Not so many guests if you like quiet relaxing rest. Nice and clean swimming pool. Excellent cleaning and polite and helpful stuff! What I liked the most was the amazing, varied, tasty and fresh breakfasts with perfect not very sweet bakery. There were a lot of options for vegetarian. Only one shop close to the hotel, but there are no hustle and bustle like in other part of the town. Nice restaurant in two steps.

It was a surprise for me that very soft mattress could be a problem and avoid back pain. The sofa in the living room is also not very convenient, pillows always fell off it. Very small bathroom with few space for storage, no hooks for towels. Hair dryer is too hot, you could damage your hair with such temperature.

Very authentic Turkish breakfast and surroundings. Breakfast options were amazing and such good fresh food. Our suite was immaculate and very well designed with a lovely big bed. All of the staff were very friendly. The pool area was nicely split with a shaded garden at the back - perfect for getting out of the sun and having some lunch.

There was nothing to dislike.

Breakfast selection was amazing, every day! From fruits, to cheeses, to eggs, to preserves, cakes and local and home made produce. We were not located in the main part of the town which was great for us as quiet and just a £3 taxi ride to be in the joy of town. Service was brilliant - everyone was so helpful and really wanted to make our stay special.

We had a leak in our bathroom which got worse over the week and didn't get fixed before we left - that said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and I am sure the fix would have happened if we had reported it sooner. There is nothing else about the weeks stay which could have been better.

lovely, clean property. great amentities, the pool area was fantastic - lovely sized pool & clean area. the staff were fantastic, there was always someone available if you needed anything. the pool bar was great & the staff there were amazing! even got complimentary fresh lemonade every afternoon while we were sat at the pool !

nothing it was great!
