A very nice breakfast including jams and marmalades, olives and olive oil, and oregano all being of Tas Otel's own production is served each morning in a comfortable setting by the pool. The boutique hotel is an oasis on the edge of the pedestrian area of Alacati. Like many in Alacati the staff have 'adopted' a number of cats - all very friendly.
Return trip to Aliçati Tas Otel
We loved our five days at the Tas Otel last year so decided we needed longer this year, both in Turkey and at the Tas Otel! We had a month in Turkey this year and returned to the Tas Otel for nine nights. We were not disappointed! The lovely garden room was very private and comfortable, the staff welcoming and helpful, the breakfasts were still fabulous and the kittens were a bonus! Freshly baked cake with a glass of Turkish tea in the afternoon is a lovely treat. Highly recommended!
It's as nice as everyone says.!
OK let's get the main issue sorted, there is a disco/bar on one side of the hotel, so it's going to be noisy June July August, but if you can find any hotel in Alaçatı without a noisy bar /restaurant near it you are lucky. The hotel is clean, tasteful with nice garden and pool which gets the sun for 5 hrs a day. The staff are all genuinely helpful and good at their jobs, nothing was too much trouble for them. We were there in October it was really quiet in the rooms and the breakfasts..... 12 jams 6 cheeses 6 breads 2 honey cereal l fruit filter coffee and more. A delight and a pleasure to meet the owner
Mukemmel, Daha iyisini gormedim!
Kapidan girdigimiz andan ciktigimiz ana kadar bizi kendi evimizde hissetirecek kadar sicak davranan Zeynep hanim ve ekibine cani gonulden cok tesekkur ederiz. 1 gece kaldik ama ayrilirken gercekten uzulerek ayrildik. Oncelikle buyuk bir incelikle odamizi musaitlik oldugundan upgrade ettiler. Odaya girdigimizde yatagin ustunde her gun 4-6 arasi ikram edilen keklerin tariflerinin oldugu bir kitapcik bulunuyordu. Zaten ozel ilgi alanim oldugundan gorunce ilk bir mest oldum. Asagida somine odasinda tv seyrederken Zeynep hanim elinde bir tabak dolusu kendi bahcesinden topladigi mandalina ve portakallarla yanimiza geldi. Yani otelde kaldigimiz sure boyunca sok ustune sok yasadik ama inanin tamamen mutluluktan. Temizlik konusunu hic soylemeye gerek duymadim ama her yer gercekten tertemizdi ve mis gibi kokuyordu.Kahvaltiya gelirsek superdi. En az 10 cesit recel , cesit cesit peynir vb. vardi. Dedigimiz gibi bu kadar yer gezdik gorduk ama biz boylesine superini hic tecrube etmemistik. Neyse gec oldu ama bulduk bir omur bizi ve kalbimizi kazanan Taş Otel en yakin zamanda tekrar gorusmek uzere!
Huzur
Aradığınız şey huzur, kuş sesleri eşliğinde kahvaltı, güleryüzlü insanlar ve alaçatıyı alaçatı gibi deneyimlemek ise burası amacınız için çok uygun. Biz çok memnun kaldık, umarım tekrar gelme şansımız olur.
Best Hotel I've Ever Stayed In
This hotel was part of the reason of the best vacation of my life. I fell in love with it immediately from the outside, and the inside was even more perfect. I took home one of their embroidered pillows they sell to guests and didn't open it until I returned and it still smelled like the hotel. Apparently the aroma is due to the flowers, fresh sea air and environment. When I smelled the pillow, I literally felt high with happiness for a few seconds :) Being at this hotel defiantly made my trip memorable, which was already the best vacation I've ever taken. Not much else different to add that others have already raved about. Love the doggy, too!
Beautiful home from home
Our family of 4 stayed in the smaller of the two separate guest house rooms in August 2014. It is one big room with two single beds and a separate bedroom with a double bed, so perfect for us. Our children were aged 7 and 5. We loved having our own swimming pool and private garden (the other was empty so we had the place to ourselves). We then just walked the very short distance to the main hotel for breakfast and of course afternoon tea when we were not out exploring. In the evening when the children were asleep we could enjoy a glass of wine and even a swim without needing a baby sitter, which was fantastic. Alacati itself was a great base for the area, a beautiful little town with lots of restaurants and a buzzing atmosphere but with lots to explore. Tasotel was the best place to stay, as others have said, it has a simple authentic elegance, the staff were very friendly and helpful and our children loved playing with the friendly cats. They also gave us some great restaurant recommendations. My husband kitesurfs and there are a few good spots nearby. We also visited some of the beach clubs and Aqua Toy City which was great fun for all of us. Overall it was brilliant for a family holiday. The final nice touch was our gift of the Tasotel cake book and in fact it is while making brownies with the children from the book (a big favourite from the trip) that I realised I had never actually posted this review. Highly recommend!
…. The Tas Otel proved to be a real sanctuary (in a very real sense of the word) since we experienced the sad event of the attempted coup whilst at the hotel and despite the real worry, concern and fear amongst your staff they continued to look after us as before. A truly exceptional, professional and ultimately human service. We can’t thank the team enough. And I haven’t mentioned the quality of your facilities - wonderful!
…….. otele varır varmaz, Yusuf Bey beni kapıda bekliyordu. Ucağım İzmir’e gec inince, ben de geciktim haliyle.. ve orada bir kez daha anladım Tas Otel’in ayrıcalığını.
Salih Bey’in de bana gittiğim gün yardımlarını asla unutmayacağım. Gerçekten minnettarım. Otelin kapısını arkamdan çekip gitmek zorunda kaldığımda, sizlerden, tatlı kediciklerden ve özellikle Pan’dan artık ayrıldığımı anlayınca, gözlerim doldu. Günlerin nasıl geçtiğini anlamadım. Tas Otel, Tas Otel ailesi (tüm üyeleriyle:)) bana huzur dolu günler gecirmeme sebep oldu gercekten:)
Sizleri tekrar ziyaret edeceğim, tekrar o güzel otelinizde kalmayı cok istiyorum ve özellikle sizleri görmeyi.
“Tas (stone) Hotel but HeartWarming”
Despite the weather was not pleasant, staff created the sun in our hearts. What a beautiful people, not driven by commercial interests but a real love and respect to humanbeing...So it is indeed a Tas (stone) house with heartwarming charm with staff and its energy.
The only regret, we have not met with Zeynep hanim, all Alacati people love and respect her for her outstanding contribution to the promotion of the town.

“Too short a stay!”
…Had we know how charming the town is and how comfortable Alacati Tas Otel is, we would have planned a longer stay.
Our room was beautifully renovated, bright and comfortable and the bathroom was lovely and had great smelling olive oil products. We could tell how much time, money and love went into restoring the building and really admired the detail.
Shortly after we arrived, we were invited to tea and cake in the verdant poolside garden. In the morning, we came back to the garden to find a scrumptious Turkish style breakfast…
If we get a chance to come back to Turkey, we will definitely come back to the Alacati Tas Otel.
“Fabulous Stay in Alacati”
…fabulous on all accounts! The hotel is beautiful, quiet, impeccably clean and so comfortable--we felt at home from the very start.
In addition to the beauty of the hotel and its ideal location (at the end of the main village street) the staff makes Tas an perfect place to stay. We found all members of staff to be extremely warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. More than one member of staff gave us their personal cell phone numbers in case we had any issues or questions as we were out exploring.
This was above and beyond attention to our needs and clear concern for our comfort. The hotel serves a fabulous, homemade breakfast every morning and provides homemade cake and tea every afternoon.
We so enjoyed this amazing hotel and feel it contributed directly to our love of Alacati and our perfect stay!
“What a wonderful Experience”
... Delightfully decorated, the cutest hotel in Alacati. All the personnel working at Alacati are amazing: wonderful service, extremely helpful, great hospitality, wonderful culture….
“All others pale to the original”
There really is no other place! Perfectly located just far enough away from "restaurant mile" to be peaceful just close enough to be a lovely stroll back and forth, this should be your only choice. Zeynep (the owner) and Salih (the manager) are sheer perfection! And Yusuf a delight in helping advise on all things local. If I could return here every year, i would - I'll be back next year!
“atmosphere...”
… this stylish little hotel for us two, around sixty years old couple from Germany was a peaceful place with such an atmosphere! … Highlight of the day was daily afternoon cake and tea, cakes of extraordinary quality, not too sweet…
“Exceptional Hotel with Brilliant People”
… Besides the fact that the hotel is ideally located in terms of proximity to all the lovely Alacati bars and restaurants we were very impressed with the super friendly approach of the hotel staff…
“Absolutely incredible”
There really wasn’t a bad thing we could say about Tas Otel, except we didn’t stay long enough!
“Delightful small hotel”
As near perfect as an hotel can be… The breakfasts, Turkish and western, were homemade and delicious, but the piece de resistance was the included afternoon tea - everybody made sure to return in time for this!
The factor however that sets this little hotel apart is the friendliness and standard of service. Without in any way being intrusive, Zeynep, Salih and ALL the staff made one feel part of the family.
Finally, it is an added bonus if you are an animal lover. We loved every minute!
“Great hotel - property, staff, overall experience”
The building is great, and with a great location near the heart of Alacati. The staff … went above and beyond anything we could have asked…
“Un perfecto lugar de descanso y gozar de la generosa hospitalidad turca”
… Las habitaciones (7) son el reducto donde recogerse y descansar a gusto, con un ambiente mezcla entre lo principesco y la sencillez. Todos los empleados del Hotel acogeran de inmediato cualquier pregunta o sugerencia y le proporcionarán todo aquello que necesite. El hotel invita a quedarse por largo tiempo, a la par que disfrutar de la calidez de los habitantes de este tradicional y moderno pueblo.
“Amazing honeymoon destination!”
The Tas Otel is the perfect place to stay in Alacati. My husband and I honeymooned there this past August and can not stop raving about it... On a personal note, Zeynep, the hotel's owner, was incredibly sweet and charming. She even gave my husband and I a little souvenir to take home as it was our honeymoon.
“Super friendly”
Awesome. Friendly. Rent a scooter to get around town, you'll be glad you did.
