8/10 Very good

Chill out by the sea
This is a great place to stay if you’re looking to relax by the sea. The proximity to the beach is great. I loved the natural and simplistic feel of my room and I found it super clean. I liked the natural wooden or bamboo details.
Hosts Arda and Merin were very helpful and accommodating and made things like ordering take away food easy. They even arranged for me to go on a trip with Arda’s father to a local cave which was wonderful.
As one or two others have said, the garden is in a poor state and has dried up. Arda and Merin have their reasons for the lack of attention to it although it is a shame that there is no greenery at all.
Although the place is called an Ecolodge there are a few things which would improve the environmental credentials; not offering so many single use plastics is one obvious one (i.e. bottles of water with breakfast etc.) and cultivating the garden would be another.
Although Arda and Merin were very helpful and friendly hosts, my biggest criticism of the stay would be the breakfast service. I don’t think I have ever experienced such slow breakfast service in my life. Even getting a coffee first thing in the morning takes some time so make sure you put in a request about half an hour before you want it!
Also levels of hygiene could be improved - for example food was often left on the table for hours after customers had finished breakfast giving an impression of general lack of care.
All in all however I was very happy with my stay. Thanks!
