AMAZING PLACE. So clean (clean in the standards of a Turkish mom - my Turkish fellows will understand this :D), cleaning every day, dope location (so close to the beach that I was going back to the room when I was overwhelmed by the heat or when I had to use the bathroom), great breakfast included in the room price, overall amazing restaurant, super helpful and kind staff, especially Zeina. I would come back 10000%.

Unforgettable!

The staff was amazing, always available to help. The location of the hotel was excellent: 5 minutes on foot from the beach and also very close to the town center (shops and restaurants). I also really enjoyed breakfast, with lot of fruit and eggs. The room was equipped with a small fridge, very useful, and a small table outside in the terrace, as well as an extremely handy rope to hang clothes to dry! I already miss the cozy atmosphere of Kivulini! Highly recommended!

Within a short walking distance of the beach and it's variety of shops and bars. No mosquitos.

Location not too far from the beach. After some initial problems with door locks and toilet flushing (these were fixed in a day) we had a very comfortable stay, lovely spacious rooms, staff polite, helpful and friendly. Although they don't sell beer they are very happy to go to the super market to get you some and put it in their fridge, there is also a fridge in your room.

Very nice lodge and restaurant in the good area

Very good location. Near the street of restaurants, mini markets, boat for dolphin tour, beaches etc etc. There is a restaurant in the hotel which serves quite a variety of dishes and fair price. The boss also runs the tour company next to the lodge, very handy to sign up day tour (Dolphin tour) and hiring car to your next destination. Fair price.

You get less than you pay for here...

Great shower with lots of hot water as long as nobody else tries to shower in the building 😁 Food in the restaurant for lunch was well priced and tasty.
