Caretta Caretta Pension

The hotel has wooden bungalows (a bit smaller than the average cruise ship cabin) with private patios and air conditioning and includes a typical free breakfast, WiFi, bicycles for use and free parking. It has a playground for families with children. And loads of pre-school children there are. And loads of cats. Every family sticks to themselves and everyone speaks Russian. With no TV in the room, this is a pretty boring place unless you want to sit on the beach all day. The trees scattered between the bungalows have ripe pomegranates and (unripe) oranges, lemons and limes. There are a handful of chickens running around the place. The condition of the interiors of the bungalows looks brand new. The mattress is the now-familiar flat slab – not uncomfortable, but it takes getting used to a 6-inch mattress on a wooden platform. The room rate includes a full "Turkish Breakfast" with a bewildering assortment of foods. We had a dinner at the hotel and, while a tad more expensive than it would have cost in town, was simple, but delicious. As in most Turkish restaurants, you’ll be eating in the company of a bunch of cats – more pleading than aggressive when asking for a handout.

A lovely complex of cabins set in nature and only minutes from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and utilised the free bicycles to ride into the centre and further afield. Breakfast was superb and more than we could manage, the hosts are friendly, helpful and courteous. The property is perfect for quiet nights and nature lovers.

It's an amazing place to spend a family vacation! After just several days of staying there, we decided to extend our stay. We returned several months later for another vacation, and now we're already planning our next visit. The bungalows provide enough privacy and comfort, and are located neatly in a garden full of orange trees and beautiful flowers, with hedgehogs roaming over the lawns in the evening. You can relax in hammocks and enjoy the starry nights. The village around doesn't have any light pollution, so the night sky is clear and bright. Families with kids will be happy to discover a large playground in the backyard, complete with swings, a slide, and sandbox. The facility is located away from the main street, making it quiet, but it's only a 5-minute walk to the nearest shop and a 10-minute walk to the beach. The parking space is convenient and under video surveillance, and the hosts also provide free bicycles for you and your kids. The rooms have everything you need, including beach towels, and the pension has its own section of the beach with sunbeds and umbrellas. There are restaurants within walking distance, but the provided breakfasts are great, so you don't need to think about going anywhere else in the morning. The owners can also serve dinner upon prior request. There's also a fridge on-site with a selection of beer and beverages available. The hosts are really helpful, friendly, and welcoming, making you feel right at home. They can also share their knowledge of the area around and give you the best advice on where to eat or what is best to visit now. Try their homemade pomegranate juice, it's really delicious. The rooms are spacious enough with air conditioning and safe lockers.

we had a great 10 days holiday at Caretta Caretta thanks to Durmuş and his family. This is a perfect family run pension for anyone and especially for families with kids who are looking for a relaxed holiday among various trees. The beach is not far especially if you get one of the free bikes the pension offers. Çıralı itself in my opinion is one of the best places to have a holiday in Turkey. No crazy-night life but super-nice people every corner!

Eşim ve oğlum ile buradaki yorumlara bakarak gitmiştim, tam da anlatıldığı gibi mükemmel. Diğer yorumlarda yazan ne varsa hepsi doğru. Huzur, sakinlik, sessizlik muhteşem. Sahibi Durmuş Bey ve diğer çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve çok misafirperverler. Daha önce hiçbir yerde görmediğim misafirperverliği burada gördüğümü söyleyebilirim. Girerken ve çıkarken verdikleri ufak hediyeler onları asla umitmayacagimizin bir göstergesi. Kahvaltısı beklentilerin çok üstünde, çok güzel ve doyurucu. İlk gün kahvaltıda sofraya muzlu Waffle gelince ailecek şok olduk. Oğlum bayıldı. Her gün farklı bir şey koyuyorlar ki bu da çok güzel. Wi-fi sorunsuz cekiyor. Bungalowlar çok güzel döşenmiş, çok konforlu. Herşey düşünülmüş. Oğlum üç gün boyunca neredeyse bungalowun önündeki hamaktan hiç inmedi.Akşam yemekleri de çok lezzetliydi. Çıralı' ya yine gelsem yine Caretta caretta derim.. Teşekkürler ☺️

Nareciye ağaçlarının içerisinde çok temiz ,sessiz, güleryüzlü çalışanlar, muhteşem kahvaltı, sade fakat çok lezzetli yemekler ve işletme sahibi Durmuş beyin yakın ilgisi bize tam istediğimiz gibi çok dinlendirici pandemi döneminde tüm tedbirlerin alındığı beş yıldızlı bir tatil yapma imkanı sağladı. Çevre dostu bozulmamış doğası ile Carettacaretta her türlü övgüyü sonuna kadar hakediyor.

The best hotel so far I've stayed at in Turkey, their customer service is spectacular! We don't want to drive all the way from Kas to Antalya, therefore we chose a small town Cirali. I saw many good reviews about this hotel therefore I decided to gave a try. Neither my friend nor I expected we encountered the best hotel. First the pictures on the ******* website don't do justice, the cabin is spacious and clean, and the garden is much more beautiful than the pictures. The staff was extremely nice, first I asked about the non-stoppable fire, he gave us directions and also lend us flashlights because we went close to sunset time. You have no idea how many people looked at our lights jealously on our way back, it was dark and the road was quite rocky and slippery. Also, it was my friend's birthday on the day we checked in, he knocked on our door, wished my friend happy birthday, and also made her a fruit cake with candles on. It was so thoughtful and my fried really loved it.

Owners make you feel like its your home.place is right in the nature.bungalows are clean and comfortable.5 mins to walk sea.breakfast nice.dinner delicious home made cooked.we traveled as a family (2 little kids) and we enjoyed it. Thanks to mr.durmus and everyone who works there.
