We first stayed at The Tamarisk ten years ago, when our boys were young - both they, and we, loved it. Now, on the cusp of leaving home, they chose this as their favourite holiday destination & hotel; and so we returned for two weeks, half-board. The hotel is a small, low-rise, family-run hotel, with lovingly tended grounds, and a... More

Returning for our 6th summer at the Tamarisk Beach Hotel in July 2010 was like coming home. Faik and Sevilay (the owners) hold a very special place in our hearts. We have visited on and off for almost a decade, always for the "last family holiday" with our daughters the youngest of which was 11 when we first went and... More

This amazing value hotel is a must for the independent traveller wanting to experience Turkey away from the "all inclusive package holiday" brigade. From the minute you arrive, to the moment you leave, the hosts (Faik/Sevilay/Gulsah/Murat) and staff, look after you as you would old friends staying in your home. The simple bedrooms/suites(perfect for families) are in two rows of... More

Never been to Turkey before,and this hotel is a real gem. The service was amazing,nothing was too much trouble. The room was adequate,nice shower with plenty of hot water. A nice little terrace to sit out in. Lovely swimming pool,had it to ourselves most of the time. The highlight has got to be the food. Mezzes every night with about... More

We chose this hotel after reading all the good reviews but we were very disappointed. Yes, the staff are very friendly and obliging, the weather was perfect, the sea was warm and clean and the sailing was great. BUT the bedroom was small and crowded with too much tired furniture with sticking drawers, extremely noisy air conditioning, rarely any hot... More

Our first holiday at Tamarisk Beach was in 2000, with three of our family, the next in 2009 - when we celebrated our Golden Wedding there - and then we returned in June this year with four of our family.. Faik, Sevilay, Gulsah, Neco and all the staff are delightful - very caring of their guests' welfare and full of... More

Our second time & very wary about going back to somewhere after 5 years, we had a fantastic time. Faik & Sevilay were excellent hosts, the weather was great and the other guests both friendly & considerate. Went with family (kids 14, 12, 9) & in-laws (70) and all had a great time. Halfboard excellent value - food fine, although... More

I travelled here in October 2009 and it was my first trip coordinating for a group - I was really lucky that the group were great (24 of us) but the thing that made it so brilliant for me was that Sevilay and Faik were just amazing hosts. As a group host they helped me incredibly and were just so... More

We went back as a large family group with ages ranging from 12 to 83! We hadnt been for 8 years but The Tamarisk still retains the most lovely, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble to make our stay happy and enjoyable Great value for money and we were all kept busy with watersports activities or just... More
