Ece Hotel Sovalye Island

This island gem was a big surprise! This boutique 12 room, 3 villa property blew our minds with its peaceful presence away from the busy Fetiye coast. We spent two nights at this property and were amazed by how much the owner, manager, and employees made us feel like family. There are several almost hidden day beds to laze away the day, a hillside pool with uniquely cushioned sun beds, and a waterfront array of both covered and uncovered sun beds and day beds that will will have you sleeping away the day in style. The breakfasts were exceptional and their famed dinner restaurant offered sumptuous Turkish entrees and deserts! We are big lovers of Turkish wines and their wine list did not disappoint! Spend one meal facing the sunset and another facing the Fetiye harbor. The glass like water and lights will make your evening extra special. The 12 rooms face the bay and magnificent fall sunsets, with spacious accommodations, a fridge, and am great shower! We noticed that most local hotels do not furnish wash clothes, so if you prefer them, best bring a couple with you. If you are looking for a quiet and secluded hideaway with maximum panache and friendly, this is it!

The place was nice but make sure you have your cash ready or remind the hotel to charge your credit card. We had to pay almost double because the driver needed to take us to an ATM (atm charges 30 dollars to get your cash) plus the hotels currency calculation was 20 dollars extra. So grand total of 50 dollars. There was also some trouble with the boat picking us up and waiting in the sun for 40 minutes. Make sure you call and remind them.

Fantastic cannot fault it and the staff are so helpful. Owners cannot do enough to make your stay a memorable one. Have been coming for many years and we will continue to do so. Attention to detail is second to none

There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful and peaceful our stay at Ece was. There are so Many facets to this place it's hard to know where to start. It's no wonder so many guests told us they were repeat customers. First off the island, its a gem sitting in Fethiye Bay a short 5 minute boat ride away. Swimming off the dock with the ruins under you is spectacular. So much to do, Kayaking, Paddleboarding, snorkeling, swimming, and hiking. Or do nothing, so many choices of where to lounge, by the pool, by the bar, in a hidden nook, at the restaurant, at the dock side on either side of the island, Or on your private balcony or patio. Speaking of rooms, such breathtaking views with lovely cool breezes. Comfortable, spacious rooms and attentive staff. The food at breakfast and lunch was excellent as was the restaurant next door. You don't have to leave the island at all. There's also an excellent Greek restaurant on the other end of the island, they pick you up at the dock and meet you at their dock and take you to your table. You feel like royalty during your stay. If there is a down side it is the steps. There are a lot, but they are easy to climb, at first we had to take small breaks but we soon built up some much needed leg muscles. But if you have a disability this wouldn't be the place for you. We loved it and hope to return soon.

A truly beautiful romantic haven with the most amazing views of the bay. We went as a family for a four night stay before moving to our next hotel. We arrived at midnight and loved the boat trip in the dark from Calis to the island. It's a lot of steps to the hotel but thankfully they have a pulley system with a cart that takes your luggage to the top (esp as I don't pack light). The superior suite we had was gorgeous. A modern, light and airy well furnished living room, dining table and kitchen with two bedrooms - leading onto a terrace overlooking the pool, and a lovely wet room and bathroom. wifi worked fairly well with some expected outages but it worked. The view was awesome. Two double large floor to ceiling windows/doors with views across the whole bay to Fethiye/Calis/Islands. This suite has sole access, along with two other suites, to a private pool area which is really pretty. As we had the pool to ourselves on this visit it was just for us! We used it at all hours. It was a really reasonable size for swimming. We didn't use the other pool at all though we did use their sea bathing deck to swim and that was also lovely. Food and bar were great, amazing views and good quality. Lunch and dinner.Lovely staff, especially Osman and Mahmut the boatman. not forgetting China the dog who clearly felt she was staff. Escorted guests to the sea and back and manned the boat. Just so sweet. I came here also to write a novel and it gave me a great start. I'm hoping to go back soon to finish it. So many beautiful pink and white flowers... Just one downside were the large holes in the flat walls due to a leak which owner promised would be fixed but wasn't and was never mentioned again.....if there is a problem better to face it. I'd also add a desk/dressing table in the main bedroom.

Great hotel. We stayed 4 days and regretted we didn’t book for longer, right after we left. Amazing view, great decoration, breakfast with local and homemade food. We are definitely coming back

Excellent location, very peaceful, very nice breakfast, friendly service. You feel like home from the first moment. We had an amazing experience and relaxing time. Highly recommended.
