IrelandExcellent hotel in terms of price / quality ratio with the most picturesque sea views out of the window
We spent lovely 5 days/4 nights in Grand Ontur Hotel in the middle of June 2025. Location is outstanding as the peninsular is almost fully surrounded by the sea with Greek islands on the horizon. The weather can be tricky in June with frequent winds and high waves, so it is usually cooler than in Izmir and very nice for those who don't like too much heat. In June, before the high season, the hotel is a calm and pleasant place to stay. The main building is renovated and looks nice. Rooms are neat and clean. Standard room, where we stayed, has a huge balcony with the most picturesque sea view I have ever seen from a hotel. We also spent one night in a high class suite, which was more spacey to accommodate our family with 2 children. All other facilities (outdoor swimming pools with slope, children playground, beach area) are in good condition. The sea is clean and despite waves and invigorating water temperature about 21°С in June excellent to swim or dive. The Spa center looks a little bit old, but if you are lucky to have there massage treatment from Hasna, you'll don't pay attention to any imperfections of surrounding. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Guest relations team is there to help you with any issues within their competence (Aylin and Irmak know how to make you feel VIP guest). Children's animation team tried their best to keep the kids busy with sports and arts, even though some events were cancelled and replaced by movie nights due to low attendance (there were only few children in the hotel during our stay). We were happy not to be disturbed by loud disco music every night (some separate events / weddings were held at the beach restaurant in remote area). In general it is a superb destination for calm and relaxed vacation for families, incl. seniors, roma tic couples and those who don't seek endless entertainment.
