"An amazing Turkish experience"
This was our first visit to Turkey, and staying at the Likya Pavilion in Kalkan was the perfect way to experience Turkish hospitality and life. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and safe. Every single member of staff was friendly, smiling, and went out of their way to help throughout our entire stay. Our pool house was perfect—spacious with a large private pool, plenty of seating areas offering both sun and shade, and glorious views out to sea. Surrounded by flowering oleander, bougainvillea, and olive trees, it felt like a true slice of paradise. The food was absolutely fabulous too. From the beautifully presented, generous Turkish breakfasts to the amazing evening meals—everything was cooked to perfection and served with care. We had the very best time in such a wonderful place. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Likya Pavilion for making our stay so special.
"A slice of paradise"
Thank you so much to Ahmet Bey, Emin Bey, Ozan Bey, and the rest of the team for making our stay so special. Everyone was incredibly caring and attentive throughout our time there. The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk into town, which makes dining out so convenient. The beautiful rooms, crystal-clear water, and private pool were definite highlights and added to the sense of comfort and luxury. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing and safe holiday, especially during these Covid times.
"Excellent"
We were originally booked into a room with a private pool at Likya Gardens, which was lovely and right opposite the Beach Club. However, on arrival, we were offered the chance to move to Nadia Villa at Likya Pavilion—and it was too good to resist! The villa was fantastic. Set up the hill among several beautifully presented villas, it felt wonderfully private (though some are semi-detached). We stayed in a loft villa across two floors, with a nicely presented sitting room, shower room, and a bedroom that opened onto a balcony with absolutely stunning views of the sea and Kalkan harbour. The private pool was a highlight—perfect for enjoying the views and long enough for a few strokes. There was also ample seating around the pool to relax in comfort. The steps up to the villa were shaded and manageable, and the location was ideal: about a 5–6 minute walk to the Beach Club for swimming and lunch, and the same distance into Kalkan town—so we never needed taxis. Evening meals at the Pavilion were very good, and we appreciated how seriously allergies were taken and catered for. All of the staff were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. We had such a wonderful experience and are already planning our return!
"nice rooms, spoilt by deafening noise from sister hotel"
The accommodation itself was very nice—clean, with a good cleaner visiting daily, and polite staff throughout. The breakfast in the restaurant was decent and came with a lovely view over the bay. However, there is no real reception service to speak of, and the biggest issue we experienced was the noise. On 2 out of our 4 nights, the sister hotel, Likya Residence (around 400 yards away and higher up), hosted parties with an incredibly powerful sound system that could rival Glastonbury. Even indoors with the windows closed, we could hear every word of every song. One night, the music went on until 1:30 am. It felt incredibly selfish and sadly spoiled our stay, as sleep was impossible until the parties stopped. Unless something is done about this, both hotels risk losing guests who are looking for a relaxing and peaceful holiday—or perhaps they are more focused on attracting the party crowd.
"Great service and nice properties"
Visited Likya Pavillon recently with my family. The actual properties are very nice and our property Perisphone was very private and overlooked the sea. I would not suggest they are luxury, but very nice all the same and would not recommend for more than two people. It is quite close to the main town also. The staff at this resort looked after us and their restaurant Kaftan served great food. The only thing I would change is that it needs to be more secure. As one of the days a couple Chinese tourists wondered into pool area to take pictures of our view!!
"Not good value – very far from 5 star"
We stayed at Villa Minerva, booked through Fairlight Jones, and found it very overpriced for what you actually get—especially compared to other, higher-quality accommodations in the area. From the outside, it looks beautiful, but inside it’s tatty, worn, and frankly felt dirty. The curtains were hanging off their fixings, and the bathroom design was poor—too small, lacking privacy, and badly in need of renovation. Storage space was also minimal with hardly any drawers. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and eager to help, but they came across more like enthusiastic summer-job students rather than trained hospitality professionals. Overall, this villa doesn’t live up to the premium price tag.
"Another perfect stay at Likya Pavillion."
This was our second visit to this wonderful hotel, and we’ll no doubt be back again. We stayed in one of the Pavilion houses, and the views are simply breathtaking. The management is absolutely first-class—Ahmet couldn’t have done more for us. He arranged smooth taxi transfers and even organized a fabulous day out on a boat, which was a highlight of our trip. Javad works tirelessly to ensure everything is perfect and always greets guests with a happy smile. His effort and attention to detail make a real difference to the experience. The setting for breakfast, lunch, and dinner offers some of the best views in Kalkan, and the food is exceptional. We’ve dined here several times, and it’s as good—if not better—than many of the other restaurants in town. Likya Pavilion continues to impress, and we can’t wait to return.
"idyllic spot"
We were looking for a relaxing destination after a very hectic few months, and this hotel did not disappoint in any way. We stayed in “Persephone,” which I’d highly recommend for anyone who prefers to avoid climbing too many steps. The accommodation was lovely and quite unique, with panoramic views across the bay, a spotless private pool, and a well-equipped terrace—perfect for unwinding. The staff truly brought the hotel to life with their ever-present smiles and warm, fun attitude—always attentive without being intrusive. Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome. Breakfast on the restaurant terrace each morning was a real treat. The style was authentically Turkish and very enjoyable. Being within walking distance of the town means you can completely relax and leave the car behind. Also, don’t miss the chance to take a gulet trip out to sea—it offers a wonderful new perspective of Turkey. Our heartfelt thanks to you all, Gill and Charles
"Expensive View"
Firstly, this was not our chosen destination. Due to a mix-up between Secret Escapes (the agent), Just Sunshine Holidays, and the hotel group Aykan, the hotel we had originally booked and paid for in full was unavailable. As an alternative, we were offered the Likya Pavilion. The reception, bar, and dining area are set around a small, crescent-shaped pool that seems more decorative than functional and felt somewhat claustrophobic. These communal areas are located at the lowest level, while the accommodation—comprising 4 duplex suites, 6 loft suites, and 4 three-bedroom villas with private pools—is built into a steep hillside. This layout means steps are everywhere, so it’s not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Our apartment was a semi-detached unit with a bedroom and balcony upstairs. The all-white, minimalist decor felt modern but didn’t compensate for the thin party walls, which failed to muffle the sounds of the neighbours’ nocturnal activities. That said, the view from our suite was exceptional—perhaps the best we’ve ever experienced. Sliding doors opened onto a spacious deck with a small infinity pool, offering uninterrupted 180-degree views of Kalkan Bay, from the pebbly town beach to the Yali Beach Club (where Likya guests enjoy free access). Breakfast, which doesn’t start until 9:00 AM, was served plated rather than buffet-style—something we found surprising for a hotel that advertises itself as 5-star. While the view during breakfast was stunning, the limited choice was underwhelming. We chose not to dine at the hotel in the evenings, as Kalkan offers a wealth of excellent restaurants. Getting to town involves either taking a dusty dirt road from reception along the rocky coastline or climbing numerous steps to the upper entrance and tackling a steep hill down the other side. In short, while the views and private pool were undeniable highlights, we found the property overpriced for what it offers. It falls short of the luxury and practicality we would expect at this level.
"Great location but not worth the price tag!"
We stayed in Artemis House for 2 weeks in July and loved the location—just a 5-minute walk into town, with stunning views and a fantastic outdoor area. The pool was great, and we enjoyed having sun all day. However, the interior of the house didn’t quite meet expectations considering the price. For instance, the plug next to the bed didn’t work, and four of the blinds wouldn’t open, meaning we couldn’t fully enjoy the incredible views from inside. Breakfast was also disappointing—quite random in selection and poor in service. My partner, a vegetarian, was served a meat omelette, and when we asked for tea, we were brought coffee instead. To their credit, the manager did apologise during our second week and took steps to address some of these issues, which we appreciated.
