Otel Albos

Great hotel. Our second time he. Very clean great food was& service. Value for money

Cavus bay is growing but the amount of visitors is not, about 5 new hotels but the Albos stands out, small family run in the perfect spot, if you are looking for a quite holiday in a great hotel and village then you must look at cavus bay and the albos.

We checked in and after 2 min. they took our bags to our rooms. The rooms are big and very nice and clean. Not far from the beach and very nice for a stay with a family.

Friendly and informal staff make you feel immediately at home. Food was superb. Gardens and grounds are beautiful, very well maintained. Very quiet in the bay if you prefer that, there are watersports and lots of other restaurants, some beach-front shops and souvenir places. Roughly 2 hours drive from Antalya airport, going through the mountains at 3 in the morning was exciting. The pool area was well looked after and always clean. The waiters enjoy practicing their English and don't mind if you try some Turkish out on them. It's advisable to eat after dark because of the insects but during August it gets dark at about 8pm.

This a nice area, away from it all, so no good if you want night life of any sort. Fine for us! A long way from the airport so expect a 2 hour (nerve-wracking) taxi drive. The resort is surrounded by lovely green mountains and is great to look back on when you swim out to sea. The beach and resort as a whole need a clean up. Cigarette butts litter thebeach and there was rubbish in small heaps here and there in the service road. The hotel has its own section of beach with sun-loungers which are always available. During the week very peaceful but noisier at weekends because of local people using the beach. The water was very warm (in August) but not really clean. We saw locals chucking their cigarette butts into the water, a few cans and cups on the sea-floor and more than once we saw floating lumps of poo which were fished out by staff. Yuck! The hotel itself was ok. Rooms basic but clean, although there was only a fridge in one of them. The air-con was a little erratic and a few things were wrong with one room, such as a faulty toilet and slow-draining shower. When these were reported the reception lady wasn't as helpful as she could have been. Good pool and usually very quiet. The breakfasts were basic but ample. The evening menu was limited, a good choice of meze items every night but the same chicken, lamb, veg kebab items for main courses. Normally only water melon for sweet but sometimes grapes and peaches. Only on one night did we get baklava. When we asked for wine we weren't given a choice, except red or white. When we asked how much it was we were told it was £18. Ouch! We struggled to be understood by the waiters when choosing but they were all very friendly and helpful. One tip for non-smokers - if you don't like eating among smokers you may be disappointed because in Turkey most people smoke and in the restaurants, certainly in the Albos, they don't enforce any no smoking policy. As for the climate, it was very hot while were there; 37-40 degrees, but also really humid. You should go earlier or later in the season if you don't like this sort of weather. Take flippers and snorkels and you may be lucky enough to see turtles feeding only 10 or so meters out to sea as we did. Oh! And make sure that if you book an excursion don't wait in the place you are told to wait. We did and then missed the boat (literally) and then we got the blame for not finding the place were the others had been told to wait.

Cavus / Adrasan is a great little place for those looking to get away from it all. The Albos is in a good location with it's own section of beach serviced by the hotel. Never actually used the pool as the lovely beach was just across the tiny road. Room size was relatively large and comfortable for Turkey. The breakfasts were basic but fine, but the evening meals were very good, although nothing beats the Paradise Cafe. This is not for those seeking a lively holiday like Marmaris or Bodrum.

Have been to the albos about 10 times, even got married there 3 years ago, for what it is, it is great, its a small famliy run hotel that looks after all who come to stay, they can not do enought for you, food is good, rooms are just to sleep in, dont need t.v. mini bar,The Famliy and all staff at the albos are very good at what they do and that is to give you the best holiday you can have, cavus is very quite, but so nice, just remember your in a small village in turkey.

My wife and I had a great 10 days here ... the staff, apart from the owners, don't have much English but are always friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are basic but the evening menu is amongst the best in Cavus Bay. Bulunt Bostan and his cousin Dennis who run the place go out of their help to help organize trips, taxis, excursions etc. The resort itself could do with a bit of a facelift and a smarten-up but then the prices would probably rise accordingly and as it stands, the Albos/Cavus experience is great value for a quiet and relaxing week away ...

Great location in a special part of Turkey where time has stood still . Relaxed atmosphere good facilities , nice pool and gardens and a spectacular beach with amazing mountain backdrop. The hotel is well run, clean and the family and staff are helpful and efficient . A great feature is the free transfer to and from the airport as long as you stay 7 nights . The family room was perfect with 2 bathrooms efficient air con and two balconys . Breakfast was good with fresh fruit bread and eggs . Not overly impressed with restaurant as portions were rather small . But generally speaking this is a great hotel ,right on the beach., run by a nice family who want to provide a good service which they do well. Excellent value and if we return to this area (which i hope we do ) I would stay here again . Adrasan is a unique place where the roads are still not made up , there are no fancy bars and it fairly rural which is exactly what we wanted as its closer to how many Med resorts were 20 years ago - I hope it doesn't change too much . Boat trips were well worth doing and the local restaurants reasonable in price . Children found a baby turtle on beach and helped it to the sea which was a highlight .
