  Golden Tulip Media Hotel

  - “My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing, most importantly Mr Salem who works on reception was so so helpful from the day I got here. He helped me with absolutely everything and any concern I bought to his attention, he dealt with it immediately. I’ve since been extending my stay 2 weeks at a time and again he would call make sure I’m okay and make me new key cards & update everything on the system. Due to his hospitality I didn’t want to stay anywhere else other than Golden Tulip, I see him everyday and he has nothing but a smile on his face. I really appreciate him and his help, he definitely knows his duties and how to fulfil them. I will only be staying here, and as of when I do go and return I shall be returning here. Thank you once again Salem!”

  Unit 2 'fair Haven' Kings Beach

  - “The place was clean and tidy. Very spacious, love the layout of this place. I liked that it had a washing machine,we didn't pack much as we planned to shop there. Very close to the beach,restaurants, our fave little cafe The Pavilion. It had everything we needed for cooking and eating. We brought our own sheets and pillow covers,it wasn't too much hassle,I love my own bed linen anyway. We had the best sleep on our beds as well.”

  Apartamento céntrico a 1km de la playa.

  - “The property is modern, well laid out and freshly appointed. It is clean with modern fittings that help soothe weary bones after a long day on the Camino. The host Jose went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed to settle in. We were very comfortable, beds were sublime. Being 4 minutes to the main square with pubs and restaurants made it easy to refuel after the long day. Top marks all around. Highly recommended and would stay here again!”

  Sadara Resort

  - “Sadara Resort is an ideal sized resort for us. Big enough to have all of the amenities that you need but small enough to feel intimate and allows for you to feel like the team know you. Everyone, from front of house to cleaning staff to restaurant and bar get to recognise and know you quickly and that made us feel welcome at all times. Customer service (especially Dewi) always greet with a smile and engage in friendly conversation and were always happy to help. We were very sad to leave after a fantastic stay there but will be back on our next trip to Bali.”

  Almina Kantarcı Pansiyon

  - “I had a wonderful stay here and can wholeheartedly recommend it. The house is a beautiful old Ayvalık building with stone walls. The place is spotless clean and perf ectly located close to everything yet peaceful and authentic. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer tips about Ayvalık and make your stay smooth and comfortable. The room was cozy with a very comfortable bed, strong air conditioning, and fast WiFi, which made it easy to relax and stay connected. It truly felt like experiencing Ayvalık in the most genuine way, with that special local charm. The location is unbeatablewalking distance to the water & the center of Ayvalık yet peaceful enough to enjoy the local rhythm. If you want a place where you feel welcome, well taken care of, and enjoy a real taste of Ayvalık, this is the perfect choice. Also run by a local family who lives close. The stay offers the full Aegean experience: historic charm, close to the water and in a quiet street in the middle of the town.”
