Peninsula Gardens Hotel

Disappointing Stay – Definitely Not a 5-Star Hotel We would not return to Peninsula Gardens and certainly do not consider it a five-star hotel. The room lacked blackout curtains, which meant we were woken up every day around 6 AM by the bright light in the room. The mosquito nets were old and difficult to open or close, and definitely need replacing. The wellness area was closed at the end of May because it was not considered high season. This was never mentioned on their website, whereas other hotels usually inform guests in advance. We specifically booked this hotel for the wellness facilities. After insisting, we were allowed to use the sauna for one day out of the three for 30 minutes —but even the sauna was outdated and not well-maintained. Communication was a real issue. At breakfast, there was one young man who did not speak a word of English and had to serve all the tables by himself. We had to insist on eggs or coffee, or tea using Google Translate. Because without asking, you would not get it. It felt like they tried to charge extra for everything. There were two cabanas on the seaside terrace that provided good shade, but we were told to leave unless we paid extra—even though not a single hotel guest was using them at the time. On the second morning, the coffee machine stopped working, so we couldn’t get any coffee. But the biggest shock came at checkout: it turned out that our cappuccinos were charged because they were not included in the breakfast, only filter coffee was. No one told us this beforehand, and we’ve never experienced this in any other hotel with breakfast included. Thankfully, the receptionist sided with us in the end. Additionally, Nespresso pods in the room were €4.50 each. You only get two free upon arrival—regardless of whether you stay one night or six. Again, this is unheard of in a so-called five-star hotel. Granted, it is mentioned on the price list next to the fridge but we assumed that we would get a minimum of 2 pods a day as a refill so we did not check the price list on Nespresso pods. Again, never stayed in a hotel that charges these. The only positive note: Rose, the receptionist, who did her best to help us throughout our stay. Kas itself is beautiful and we will definitely return—but next time, we’ll book a different hotel.

This is definitely not a 4* hotel. Even the manager admitted that major works need done. The spa was closed which was big disappointment when the wind was so strong one couldn’t swim in the sea. We weren’t told about that by our tour company. Some of the staff were great but as in most walks of life others don’t see dirt or have any initiative and prefer to be on a mobile. Sad because the views are fantastic and it would be perfect for couples who want peace and quiet. Would liked to have supported the restaurant at night but we were the only ones there and tables not even set. If your on the peninsula be prepared to have to taxi into the Old Town where you will be spoilt for choice. Ex Formula 1 drivers have retired here so we always looked for the more mature gentlemen.

We booked this hotel through Jet2 Holidays. It is a nice hotel but really I don't think it was ready for guests and the pictures on line are I would say enhanced so its not quite as nice as described. We stayed in a standard roof room which to be honest was tired . It needed a paint and a refresh. The safe wasn't working , there was no QR code for the mini bar , no information about the hotel in the room. The deck area was broken as was the sun screen on the balcony. Sometimes it was cleaned sometimes it wasn't . It was all a bit hit and miss. The spa was not available although the prices list did appear at reception on the day we were going home. When we asked about it the waiter simply shrugged. All this a little disappointing, but the view is lovely and in honesty we only slept in our room. It was a good size . Breakfast is served outside . The first day it was a buffet breakfast but was very limited , from then on we had a Turkish breakfast service to the table which was very nice but no juice is served and the fruit offering is very limited. We spent some time down on the deck by the sea but again it was bit help yourself, we asked for umbrella one day and then put them away and got them again the next day as no service was provided by the sea. The beach bar was out of use and a bit scruffy , There were no offers of drinks etc. We ate lunch at the hotel on the first day and were shocked that we were charged nearly £70 for a shared salad and calamari with 2 glasses of wine. Similarly we were shocked to find that 2 coffees came to £18.00. Suffice to say we did not eat or consume any drinks at the hotel. For lunch we went across the road to Riva and had a lovely lunch with 2 glasses of wine for the same cost of 2 coffees. You eat in the garden area over looking the sea it is very pleasant. I think the hotel really need to look at their prices as you feel like you are being ripped off. The hotel is well located for Kas. Reception staff will order a taxi which takes about 5 minutes to get into town. The town is lovely, very traditional and packed with lots of bars and restaurants all serving great food. We took the ferry one day over to Greece to a tiny island with a population of 300. The ferry only takes about 25 minutes and we had a lovely day. We also took a boat trip from the harbour to the sunken city with lots of stops for swims . I would definitely recommend it. We would return to Kas but would try a different hotel next time.

Just spent 10 nights here in the Gold Room. Lovely room, very clean and airy. Cleaned daily, fresh towels, toiletries and additional beach towel for the pool sun beds. Mini bar - the charges are on a QR code on the hostess tray. Be aware that the Nespresso coffee pods are chargeable - so take your own (the regular ones, not the large ones). Good WiFi too. Breakfast is good traditional Turkish and the same every day with a choice of eggs, coffee, tea. No juices. The bread was sadly the part bake type rolls rather than the usual fresh bread you get. Be aware that any other coffee other than filter coffee is chargeable. It doesn’t say that anywhere. We didn’t order additional food or drinks whilst we were there as it’s ridiculously expensive. £9 for a cappuccino. The Riva Bar 30 seconds away is half the price. Staff are very kind and helpful, but limited English. Google translate works well. They were very generous in giving us a bottle of wine and fruit basket on our arrival as it was our wedding anniversary. That was really lovely. The Dolmus is running currently once an hour and is 30tlr pp. Taxi currently 300tlr as of 26/5. We’ve been to Kas many times and stayed in many hotels on the peninsula. This is good, and if it wasn’t so expensive to eat/drink on site we would return.

We stayed three nights in this beautiful place. The views from the room are awesome. Plenty of choices for swimming, including a beach, a salt-water pool, and an indoor pool. Some rooms have their own pools, but we stayed in a room without one. The breakfast was good, and the staff are fantastic and helpful. During our visit in Turkey, this was the property where we wish we could have stayed longer. It was a great deal of fun. Also, the Turkish bath experience was something I would recommend. If I ever go back to Kas, I will certainly stay there again.

We travelled from UK with a private transfer from dalaman airport.Nearly 1,5 hour it takes from the airport to the hotel.Warm welcome by the reception team.Quick c/i procedure. There was a fresh fruit basket in our room by c/i.The room was very clean with a amazing seaview.We had some request from the reception staff. Instandly fullfilled by the staff.Definetly recommended this awesome hotel for couples who wanted a romantic stay. We will be back for sep.2023. Thank you Peninsula Gardens team for the amazing hospitality...
