    We have just come back from our holiday in Yalikavak. We stayed in Kivanc Hotel and we absulately loved it.The hotel is in good location, room is very clean and hotel staff are very friendly. The breakfast was excellent with variety of Turkish cheese,olives,salami etc.The garden is ideal for kids to play. Swimming pool is clean. We enjoyed very much stay in in Kivanc Hotel Yalikavak. I can highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

    Pleasant staff waiting staff. Beautiful Gardens.. We were put in a ground floor room that over looked the road which meant we had no view. We couldn't open curtains as passers-by would have seen everything and couldn't open windows because of the noise. It seemed that all the best rooms with balconies rather than terraces that over looked the garden were reserved for Turkish guests.

    I've just come back from this hotel (yesterday 9/7/07) so thought while it was still fresh on my mind I'd write a review to warn others off. Where do I start?? On arrival found we were in a ground floor room. Asked could we be changed to a higher floor & were told not possible for at least 5 days. As we were only there for 1 week there was no point in that. Got to the room which on sight looked quite nice, then went for a shower & found one of the doors was hanging off. The cleaners never came u ...

    This is the second time we have used the Kivanc Hotel in Turkey, mainly for the spacious rooms and its location. We had no problems with putting our own items in the fridge, although there is a sign prohibiting this in the reception area. This is probably one of the nicest hotels for situation, and it has the most beautiful and well maintained gardens in Yalikavak. We would certainly use it again. The staff were pleasant, especially the cleaning staff who often left the bedroom with flowers d ...

    The Kivanc Hotel in Yalikavak is small, uncrowded and well located for the centre of the village. The pool is fine. The self service breakfast is excellent, with a great variety of food available.

    Nothing was removed from the room. Nobody stopped us eating anything. The room was cleaned every day and clean towels provided (with floral patterns!). We met guests who regularly stay there. We would go back there again.

    I Would go back to the Hotel Kivanc. I have been too Turkey 7 times. This was the first time and last time too Gumbet, the resort is a dump. But the hotel was great. Go too Altinkum its fantastic.

    Kivanc Hotel, I would go back again. but not with First Choice as they will not let you have a high room. All you need to do is lock you drinks away, buy a couple of drinks at the beginning of your stay at their bar, take them back to your room & use the glasses for the rest of your holiday.

    I Agree with ANN. We experienced items taken from fridge including 1 medical item. These were returned after a heated pow-wow. We stayed Half Board 6-20th June 04, but ate out more than at the hotel so take heart ANN because the evening meal was just as uninviting as the breakfast offerings. Our friends from Wales stayed at Stalag Taskule on the same dates, it has not put us off meeting next year in Yalikavak albeit not via First Choice.

    Kivanc Hotel
    Not allowed food or drink in your room despite a fridge - maids are instructed to search and confiscate contraband - even mineral water.

    Owners treat guests with contempt and their staff like dogs. They demanded a guest hand over an orange he was eating on his terrace (bought from the market!) Beautiful resort with lovely people - exception being the Kivanc Hotel - would not recommend it to Anyone
