Karamanlı Hotels from S$119

"The apartment at Salda Goldu Çelikoz was cleaner than perhaps any place I have stayed in 30 years of aggressive traveling! The area was quiet and calm with good food options nearby. The hostess was so lovely and kind, offering us hot drinks and fruit upon our arrival. The breakfast was stunning! Would definitely recommend people to stay here and visit the awesome and underappreciated lake."

"Charming old-style hotel in quiet scenic setting next to the lake shore. Rooms are comfortable and quiet, beds comfy. No air conditioning (only fan), so in summer the south-facing rooms warm up quite a bit, but the ones overlooking the lake are very comfortable (on our floor they were larger as well). Nice pool (fair size, clean). The restaurant has good Turkish-style buffet breakfast and serves various dishes for dinner in a relaxing setting (inside or outside on the large terrace). Owners of the hotel are very helpful and friendly. Nothing much around, so you pretty much need a car. Tip: spend a late afternoon on the “beach” on the east side of the lake where it’s possible to swim for anyone slightly more adventurous, and notice the stark contrast to places like Oludeniz Beach"
