A small and quiet hotel. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was relaxed and the food was good. The outdoor pool was a bit chilly in October but in the sun it was useable. We used the pool at the sister hotel too which was warmer and only a ten minute walk away. The hotel is in a quiet area on the outskirts of Kalkan. It is only a five minute taxi ride to the centre of town.
Excellent location, beaches in a short walking distance!
Management and staff were very welcoming. We were provied with a guide of area and activities available!
Breakfast was impeccable, so much choice! We highly recommend with hotel!

Dear Lain,Thank you for your review. For us, all the comments are an opportunity to learn from our mistakes, not to repeat them and to improve ourselves. It seems that during your very short stay at the villa, we could not adequately understand and accommodate your requests. We would be grateful for detailes.We wish you and your lovely family a great summer. Kind regardsTuba
I enjoyed a wonderful stay at True Blue in Late September 2022. The room was large, clean and very comfortable with a stunning sea view. I enjoyed several days relaxing by the pool, reading and taking in the vista. A short walk, 20 mins, into Kalkan centre although there are plentiful and frankly superior restaurants much closer. A beach club within 5 minutes walk provided access to the sea with scuba diving, sea kayaking and other activities.
Had a fabulous time here. Tuba and all her staff (especially Rafi) look after us extremely well.
Our room had a fabulous seaview and a nice balcony to sit out (when it's not too hot!)
The breakfast buffet was excellent as it set us up for the day.
Kalkan is a lovely place to visit with plenty of places to eat, drink and be merry. Very hilly area and a good walk down to the old town from the hotel but taxis are plentiful if you want to take the easy option.

Great place for a quite, quality time. Been there twice, will go again.
Excellent breakfast, very close to a cosy beach club.

True Blue is true magic, a gem of a relaxed, impeccably clean, stylish new concept of a hotel in a beautiful, quieter part of Kalkan. The hosts and the team have created a place that feels like home, and the breakfast is top-notch. An amazing stay not to be missed.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Updated last year. Pool and outdoor bar area have been very tastefully renovated.
Two bedroom apartments very nicely decorated. Air con only in bedrooms not the living area

Hi Emma,
Thank you very much for your review.
We should consider the air con or wantilator for the living room for next year 👍🏻
Kind regards
We stayed for 6 nights at the hotel which is located in a quiet area on the outskirts of Kalkan but within walking distance of a few restaurants and a short taxi ride from the main centre. We booked a corner suite with a sea view. It was stylish, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped with a good powerful shower but spoilt by the mouldy sealant around the shower tray. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The pool area was very nice. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others.
We had a wonderful stay at The True Blue Boutique Hotel, our room was beautiful, spacious with a sea view and with a large shared decking area. Breakfast was amazing! The staff were so helpful and nothing too much trouble. The pool was a good size plenty of sun beds and shade and a cosy bar area which also had bar meals. I was surprised how quiet the hotel was too. The only downside for some people is that it’s quite a steep walk to town, the harbour or the beach club but taxis are frequent and very very reasonable. I would recommend this hotel as we couldn’t fault it in anyway whatsoever it is a little gem!!!!

Our second trip to the True Blue Hotel in Kalkan and found it to be outstanding again. The rooms were spotless and recently updated and the breakfasts were amazing. It is in a quiet part of Kalkan with nice restaurants nearby and only a short taxi, or longer walk, into the town in the evening. Highly recommend the hotel and thanks to Tuba and Selcuk for a fantastic stay.
Very clean. Beautiful pool. Quiet. Helpful staff. Location is on the edge of town which is great for beach club access but taxi needed to get into town.

We were only here for one night, however we had a beautifully clean room, the pool area was lovely and the breakfast was superb. Everyone that we came into contact with was extremely polite and helpful. There are some nice restaurant/bars within about 5 mins and there is also a beach club just down the road. The main harbour area is a probably a 20 min walk, but taxis are easily available. Very nice nights stay and fantastic breakfast.

Everything about this place was exceptional! The staff, hospitality and location is ideal (if you like walking). The transfer rates from airport to the hotel is a great deal! Thank you Tuba, Selcuk and the rest of staff at The True Blue Hotel :)

Thank you for your glowing review. We made an agreement for the whole season with the transfer company in order to take the best offer and we want our guest to use the whole advantage of the deal. We look forward to your next visit. Kind regards
We had a wonderful stay in the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the breakfast is amazing. Kalkan streets are very steep, so walking to the city centre is not really an option. However, cabs are cheap and can be organized on short notice.

Très bonne expérience. On se sent chez soi. Notre chambre était très fonctionnelle. Le petit-déjeuner est super. En revanche il faut prendre un taxi pour aller au centre ville (pas cher, 50TL)

Bonjour du True Blue Hotel Nous tenons à vous remercier pour votre séjour et pour votre belle critique.
Odalar tertemiz ve oldukça kullanışlı. İç dizaynı harika. Otopark sorunu yok. Personel güleryüzlü ve yardımsever. Kahvaltısı bol çeşitli ve tüm ürünler lezzetli ve kaliteli. Ev rahatlığı aradığımız için biz ailece çok rahat ettik. Tüm senenin yorgunluğu sonrası, keyifli ve huzurlu bir tatil geçirdik. Tekrar görüşebilmek dileğiyle..

I had a fantastic 2-day stay at this accommodation. The best part was that the beach was just a 5-minute walk away, making it very convenient. The accommodation itself was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only slight downside was that the location is situated on a steep hill, which made it a bit challenging to drive up if you have your own car. However, despite this minor inconvenience, I would highly recommend this place.

Harika bir butik otel deneyimiydi. Bayramin yoğunluğunu hiç hissetmedik belki de ekip bunu bize hissettirmedi. Otopark sorunu yok. Aracınızı odanızın önüne park ediyorsunuz. Temizlik ile ilgili hiç sorun yaşamadık. Ayrica bu otelde bizi etkileyen yönetici hanimefendinin kurmuş olduğu ekibi harika yonetmesiydi her konuya hakim ve titizlikle takipteydi. Kahvatiya çok özen gösteriyordu. Her ürün taze ve lezzetliydi. İçecekler çok seçenekliydi. Tatilimiz boyunca günün yorgunluğunu odamizda keyifle dinlenerek geçirdik ve bu sayede ertesi güne hep harika başladık.
