Lizo Hotel

We had the most amazing stay with Lizo Hotel. Ali and is family were super accommodating and attentive - nothing was to much of an ask. The rooms are clean, and the beds comfy. They have a good varied food menu - if you would like a taste of turkey, then please try the food, it’s amazing. There is a decent sized pool, comfy sun beds and a small pool bar. We are definitely going to return in the future.

Just returned from a fantastic two weeks at the Lizo Hotel. We booked for three days, but ended up staying two weeks! The Lizo Hotel is in an incredible position overlooking Kalkan bay and the surrounding mountains - the roof terrace must have one of the best views in Kalkan. Ali, Sarah and their two children, Jessie and Kaleb are such amazing hosts - they are welcoming, great fun and treat you like members of the family. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped - we were lucky enough to stay in two different seaview rooms during our stay which had the most incredible views. Most rooms have a fridge and all have air conditioning which is a must in the summer months! The pool area is brilliant, with plenty of really comfortable loungers and the pool itself is a good size and depth - we spent a lot of time in there with the kids! Breakfast is also an optional extra which I definitely recommend - traditional Turkish with products fresh from their own garden. Ali and family offer delicious lunches and dinners on the roof terrace - we had a brilliant BBQ night and some amazing sea bass and mezes - all very reasonably priced. The hotel is in a great position with just a short, downhill 15min walk into town and there are also shops and restaurants close to the hotel itself. We definitely arrived as guests and left as friends and would wholeheartedly recommend the Lizo Hotel (and its brilliant new signage!!) to all. Unbelievable scenes, Jeff!

Awful experience. Positive reviews are very old so this hotel has obviously declined seriously. There is no bar/ restaurant just a room with a fridge / honesty pot. Pool looked nice to be fair, room more like a hostel, very very run down and on arrival we paid £50 for upgrade and it ended up being a worse room. We had booked a double and we’re given a twin then had to pay to upgrade!!! We did not stay as we felt so uncomfortable so handed the keys in and went to our parents apartment for the night as they were staying just up the road. We then had to do f new accommodation. £600 wasted!!! This is not worth the money at all. Should not be on Booking. Com

Another fantastic stay at the Lizo Hotel. Lovely relaxed atmosphere at this family run hotel with a lovely warm welcome from the family. Superb food, all cooked using local or home grown ingredients. About a 15 minute walk down to the town. The swimming pool was really warm and we had it to ourselves most of our stay. We will be returning.

Great Food, Great Host, Great location Superb views from the roof top restaurant. In daylight beautiful at night magical. Ali the Turkish owner is married to an English girl and they have two beautiful children. Ali will gladly accommodate all your needs, airport transfers, car hire, boat trips, etc.

Lizo hotel is a wonderful terrace restaurant. We do not stay at the hotel but we have been coming for 13 years and come and eat here every year. The food is amazing and it’s run by Ali and his wife Sarah who are amazing hosts!! Cannot wait to come back next year.

Had a lovely stay at Lizo hotel, Kalkan is a pretty and safe place to have a holiday. Lizo has lovely views and really great food, both traditional (highly recommend the Lizo special), and is very reasonably priced. The town itself has a lot of choice for eating out but we found ourselves eating a lot at the hotel as the food was great and the atmosphere was so relaxed. It's a family run, fairly basic hotel but the price reflects that, and the air conditioning is truly excellent! Ali couldn't do enough for us, including arranging taxis, an amazing boat trip, advising on changing money, recommending some fantastic places to eat - we felt very taken care of! It's a 10-15 min walk to town and probably a £2 taxi back if you're feeling lazy, so you don't get a lot of noise but aren't too far out of the centre. Wouldn't recommend the hotel for children as there are a lot of stairs and the pool is very deep.

Fabulous value at the Lizo Hotel this summer. Ali "Mr Charisma" Ay and his parents made us feel so welcome, and we enjoyed taking advantage of the private pool and delicious home-cooked Turkish cuisine on the rooftop restaurant with great views of Kalkan bay. Our rooms were spotlessly clean, each with air-con, a fridge and a sea-view balcony, and the location - a 15 min walk from Kalkan centre - was away from nightlife and quiet in the evening. All of this at an incredibly reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Ali and his family really look after you making your stay special. Ali even organised a cake for my husband on his birthday! The hotel is clean and comfortable and the air con is very effective. The rooftop terrace has wonderful views and the home-cooked food served is delicious. The location is really good as you can stroll into the centre and to the beach easily in 15 mins but you don’t get all the noise of the clubs like some of the central hotels do. Also, many people stay so high up in the hills they have to get cabs to get in and out which is not necessary at the Lizo hotel. Ali is also great fun and good company! I would highly recommend a stay at the Lizo hotel.
