Our party of 4 adults and 2 children, both age 9, had a great time at Villa Ruya back in July 2015.
Having previously stayed at various hotels in central Kalkan, this was the first time we had booked a villa and what a great choice we made.
When we arrived at Villa Ruya we were pleasantly surprised. The villa was larger than we anticipated, it was spotlessly clean, with all the amenities required for our stay with friends.
The accommodation agents, Lycian Coast Homes, were so helpful. Any issues we did have, albeit very minor, were very quickly resolved and the information provided by the owners, both leading up to our holiday via email and by the agents upon arrival, was so helpful. Omar from the Lycian Coast Homes team visited the property daily and also kindly delivered bread for us each morning.
The daily walk into town was no problem at all. Although one of our party did try the arduus walk back to Villa Ruya, in hindsight it’s not the easiest of walks in the July midday heat, up-hill, carrying two large bottles of water! We took advantage of the Taxi services available to and from town most evenings. The driver’s ‘Yusuf’ contact details were one of a number left for guests staying in the property, which was very helpful.
The friendly housekeeping team came along to the villa during our holiday in order to carry out a mid-stay clean, which was appreciated.
We also used the reliable airport transfer services of Enes, as recommended by the owners. Due to the timings of our return flight, for our last day we arranged to stay at the Hilton Hotel in Sarigerme, close to Dalaman Airport. During the last few days of our holiday I therefore contacted Carmela at Lycian Coast Homes to advise her of this. She was very helpful and made the revised transfer arrangements with Enes on our behalf without any problems.
Overall, we were so pleased with the villa and would have no hesitation returning.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
