Lizo Hotel

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

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.

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.

Lovely small hotel run by a delightful family, views from terrace are spectacular, food is home cooked and great vale for money. Host Ali is helpful and friendly and makes you feel special. Can’t wait to go again
