Aida Hotel

The curated, tropical gardens of the hotel and its neighboring, partner hotel were exquisite, especially set before the imposing cliff sides of the mountains beyond. The cabin where my husband and I stayed was clean and we enjoyed the kittens that scampered and played outside. The breakfast, served at outdoor tables amidst the gardens was vast, local, and scrumptious. The beach was unexpectedly not as close to the beach as I had imagined but only about a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

Çıralı'da keyifle kalabileceğiniz şirin bir otel. İşletmeci Samet Bey ve tüm ekibe ilgi ve alakaları için çok teşekkür ederiz. Çok güzel ve dinlendirici bir zaman geçirdik. Otel temiz, odaları geniş, sessiz ve sakin bir mekan. Bol çeşit açık büfe kahvaltı, kibar servis. Denize 2-3 dk yürüyüş mesafesinde. Sahilde kendi mekanları mevcuttur. Şezlon ve gölgelik mevcut. Otelin büyük bir sahil restoranı da var. Balıktan tutun her türlü yemekleri var ve çok lezzetli. Yakın çevrede tarihi yerleride gezebilirsiniz. Araba ile 7-8 dakikalık mesafede Çıralı yanartaşları mevcut. Bunun için sağlam ayakkabı yanınıza alın. 850-900 m yukarı yürüyorsunuz. Zaman olarakta geç öğleden sonrayı tavsiye ederim. Karanlık çökmeden önce geriye iniş yaparsınız. Yukarıda yerden çıkan alevleri görmek daha güzel olacaktır. Ve bir de bazilika harabesi var. Giriş 45 TL. Sahilde batıya doğru yürürseniz Olimpos harabelerine varırsınız.

Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds near to the beach. The rooms were clean and spacious. We stayed for 5 nights and the quality of the food and service was consistent throughout our stay. There was an extensive selection of fresh food at breakfast. We didn’t try the restaurant for meals other than breakfast as there was a good choice of places to eat nearby. Would highly recommend

Friendly service and cozy outdoor area by the reception. Breakfast was also very good with lot of fresh sallad and one day even strawberries. Rooms was simple but bright and clean. Giving it 5 as it was very cheap and value for money is good.

Stayed in standard triple room for 13 nights from 8th October. The hotel is in an excellent central location between the “high street” and a quieter part of the beach. It also has a separate beach restaurant in the more popular part of the beach alongside other beach restaurants. It is a large plot, attractively designed, with lots of small seating areas and, of course, the pool. The room was spacious with excellent bathroom, good storage, mini fridge, and small balcony. There was no TV, which was not missed. We don’t generally eat in the hotel, preferring instead to shop around. In this case with ate in the hotel every evening because the food was so good. We particularly enjoyed the barbequed shrimp (“prawns”), salads, and the meat casserole. The homemade soups were also uniformly good. Furthermore, the management were prepared to discuss options not on the menu such as stuffed aubergines and obviously welcomed our interest in Turkish food. The range of options at breakfast was very wide, ranging from cereal to a wide range of fruits, cheeses, nuts, salads, preserves, greens, yogurt, bread, various hot items which varied from day to day, and eggs cooked as requested. We had cheese and tomato omelettes on several occasions. Fruit juices, filter coffee and Turkish style tea were freely available. The eating area was extremely pleasant, particularly in the evening under the trees illuminated with lamps and candles. We were able to eat outdoors most evenings although a covered area is available for rainy weather. We had Turkish coffee in several places in Cirali but the hotel coffee was the best. The most memorable thing about the hotel was the attentiveness of the management team. Always approachable, their main objective was clearly to ensure that guests were satisfied with the standard of service and accommodation. Although we were just a couple, the hotel is clearly very child friendly. Kittens were everywhere and very popular with the children and quite a few of the adults. Some guests were on their fifth or sixth visit. We would happily return.

We enjoyed our 5 nights in a 2 bedroom family bungalow at Aida. The bungalow was very comfortable and quiet, tucked back in a lush garden. It was both close to the beach and the main drag, which proved nice, but still felt tucked away and peaceful. We appreciated the beach/pool towels provided for guest use and enjoyed the beach umbrellas and loungers daily, although it is a 7-8 min walk as the spot is a couple hundred yards down the beach from the hotel. The breakfast was full of fresh items and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The air conditioning worked great, the wifi did at the beach (via restaurant access) but hardly at all in the bungalow. I happily recommend for a stay in gorgeous Çıralı.
