We stayed Aug 2010 and we are an older couple how have been to Hisaronu several times and visited these appts about 2 or 3 years ago. Then they were wonderful we even viewed an appt which I can say was spotless. NOT ANYMORE! The shower sink and toilet was not very clean. The floor felt like needed a good clean but at least we had clean beds. Outside the appt was NOT cleaned for the entire 2 weeks of our stay.IT WAS Filthy when we left. Did not seem to be enough cleaners.
NEVER enough sunbeds for guests often towels on beds but no-one used them sometimes til after lunch. There is a notice saying not to do this but was ignored. Just want to say I don.t make habit of complaining hence didn,t feel it was right to complain whilst on holiday, but thought it only write to say what we thought to let anyone who was thinking of booking these appts DON,T.

Well, we've just come back from our second visit to pinara apartments and we're looking forward to our next. Fantastic place and lovely people. Can't recommend it high enough.

I agree with the other reviews. This is not my first visit to the area and the people are always warm but the team at the Pinara are in a class of their own. The apartments, pool, and surroundings are peaceful and clean but must of all the aura of the place is a bit special. No matter what age group you are, you cannot help but feel relaxed and part of a wonderful experience. Also the well travelled but English cook is on hand to make traditional English dishes but also ease others gently into the more traditional Turkish delicacies.

What a great place to stay. I have been staying in the village for six years but did not know about Pinara apartments but now we do we will be staying there again. I would recommend.

We found ourselves in Hisaronu at the height of the season (August 07) with no accommodation after a shambolic mix up over direct bookings at another hotel! (They shall remain nameless at this stage!) We are a mixed age group of 8 people -from children to the middle aged and we literally ended up on the streets with no place to stay! As we had booked independently we had no rep to help!
We sat miserable and ever so upset in "Fatma's" cafe where Fatma and her wonderful husband fed and watered us and generally looked after us - even offering for us to stay with them!
Well, after a fair bit of searching, Fatma and her husband emptied the days fruit and veg from their van and piled us all in and took us to the Pinara! (This act of pure kindness will stay with us all forever!) Fatma's is situated at the top of the village of Hisaronu as you head towards Ovacik and is opposite the Han hotel - you are assured of the most amazing welcome here and the most perfect food imaginable!
Well, what can we say about the Pinara?
"Perfect" - sums it up!
The manager, ensured that we were all accommodated in fabulous 2 and 3 bedroomed apartments. Our 3 bedroomed apartment had 3 en-suite bathrooms and 4 balconies that you could actually sit out on!!! Our 2 bedroom apartment had the most fabulous terrace! These apartments are only just over a year old and are well equipped, beautifully furnished and are so perfectly situated - just a very short stroll to the village main street and yet so perfectly peaceful!
The pool is huge and the grounds are so beautiful - thanks mainly to the amazing groundsman
The bar staff, are just perfect gentlemen - nothing was too much trouble.
The cook is a genius and provided us with a fantastic array of perfect Turkish and British food!
The reception staff and the fantastic security guard were always around whenever we needed them and again - nothing was too much trouble.
Two delightful cleaning ladies ensured our apartments were cleaned - (As these are apartments, however, this is not a daily occurrence as it is in hotels, however, we only had to ask and clean towels and bedding etc would speedily appear with a smile!)
What could have been an absolute disaster of a holiday was turned around into an amazing holiday experience which showed in its true fullness the warmth and kindness of the amazing Turkish people that we are truly honoured to have met.
This hotel is a credit to the owners and their amazing staff.
We will be back next year!
