Park Hotel Bellevue

Park Hotel Bellevue

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was quite extensive, with a lot to do. A restaurant, a pool, and a nature center. It was about a 20 minute walk from the beach. My suite was very large. 6 rooms total. And it had a veranda balcony overlooking the sea. The bed was very old and squeaked. But it was decently comfortable. Breakfast was good quality with a wide variety of items. The location is a bit out of the way, so you can't really get there by public transportation. Overall, it was a good stay."

"This hotel is the absolute best! The rooms are spacious and clean, employees are wonderful and the food plentiful and delicious! Deniz, the front desk employee honored an early check in and was very welcoming. We truly appreciated the early check in, sincere hospitality and well spoken English by Deniz..The housekeeping does a great job with keeping the rooms spotlessly clean and always greeted us with a smile. The restaurant serves delicious dishes for breakfast and dinner. Chefs should be commended for preparing lots of different varieties of delicious food! The hotel added a Kosher section, which is great for those following a Kosher diet. The food and beverage manager Orhan always acknowledged us at the entrance to the restaurant and had great communication skills and spoke great English!
