The hotel is spacious and geared towards large group tourism - hence at first a bit challenging for a solo traveler like me who arrived on a bus from Bodrum, took a local van to the area, was dropped off at the main road and then lugged my luggage for a kilometer to the hotel which stands along with various other huge structures in the midst of a vast and picturesque plain and at a bit of a distance from the famous thermals and ruins of Hierapolis. The walk was surreal though due to the grand views.
At first I was flummoxed as the place didn't really cater for those like me who needed independent mode of transport etc and the staff spoke very little English. However, I was told that Mr. Kubilay at the front desk would be very helpful next morning. And indeed he turned out to be wonderfully hospitable and helpful. I managed to have a memorable trip to the sites via a local taxi that picked and dropped me, was given a lovely breakfast on my return even though the breakfast time in the hall was over, and generally felt welcomed and taken care of. Huge appreciation for Mr. Kubilay who went out of the way to help me out and ensure that I got the most out of the short trip. My room was comfortable, the buffet dinner at night was quite good as such dinners go and the place also has thermal baths. Three cheers for Mr. Kubilay who is a real credit to the hospitality industry.
