This hotel is an absolute gem. We were looking for a quiet location for relaxing holidays near a beach, and we got all this and more! Okaliptus occupies a large plot on which several two-storey buildings are situated among eucalyptus and banana trees, which gives it an exotic feel and provides much needed shade. It has a small pool, private beach, public restaurant a la carte. No all-inclusive is available, which we considered a big plus since all the guests were well-behaved ;) All rooms have large balconies which is perfect for hanging up beach towels and swim suits to dry ;) our room also had a very basic kitchenette with a fridge and a sink - again, this came very handy. The room was spacious, equipped with free AC and cleaned every day. There was a slight stale smell coming either from the AC, or the adjacent bathroom, but it didn't bother us too much as we know lots of places struggle with that. Thankfully there were no bugs or other worse things. What we loved: food, and the staff!!!! Breakfasts were the same every day, but there was a variety of delicious foods to choose from. Hard boiled eggs, omelette/scrambled eggs, hot buns filled with cheese or olives, regular bread, jams, honey, chocolate spreads, real butter, different kinds of cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, delicious black olives etc. Free Turkish tea was served in beautiful glasses and there was coffee (only instant though which was a disappointment) and some fruit drinks which I daren't call juice. Dinners exceeded our expectations - every day there were different hot dishes available (one soup, a meat stew - usually beef with veggies, rice or other grains, fish or another main) and at least a dozen of cold dishes to choose from (every day the same stuff) - spicy carrots, spicy couscous, grilled aubergines with bell peppers, squash, baba ganoush, different green salads, spinach, tzatziki. And for dessert - again a variety of cakes, Turkish pastries, and creams such as crème brule, profiteroles, rice puddings etc. Another nice surprise - Turkish tea was served free after dinner, probably because the hotel hosted many Turkish guests. The staff was amazingly friendly but not obnoxious. It's true that most of them didn't speak English, or only very basic, but their cordiality and efforts really warmed our hearts! Sunbeds, hammocks and cushions on the beach are free for the hotel guests - another nice surprise. Beach is mainly coarse sand and pebbles, but the hotel provided foam rugs going deep into the water, so no water shoes are needed. There was chillout music played by the pool and on the beach from morning until about 2pm, and a bit stronger music in the afternoons until dinner time. For us, it was a bit too loud, but others seemed to enjoy it. At dinner there was beautiful movie soundtrack type of music played. As for the area, there are dolmush buses (cheap public transportation) available for those who want to get to Gumbet or Bodrum (Bodrum is worth a visit). We recommend buying trips from the local vendor on the beach promenade, to the right from Okaliptus - Berna offers good price for bus trips to Dalyan tombs and Iztuzu beach (30EUR) as well as chilled boat trips along the Aegean coast (20EUR). Due to hot weather we skipped Pamukkale and Ephesus as they would be too strenuous, but we definitely want to come back in spring time and see those two places! There were no entertainment programs, and the hotel is not really suited for families with kids, which again, is great if you want to go on a relaxing or even romantic holiday for adults :)…
