Stella Marina Boutique Hotel

We stayed at Stella Marina for almost a month in December 2025. Honestly, it's one of the best deals in the area. We had a studio apartment with two rooms and a full kitchen. The beach and pool are just a stone's throw away. They offer free bicycles, and the housekeeping was beyond excellent – the ladies were superb. However, no hotel is perfect, and this one is no exception. The main issue in the room was the air conditioning. The vents are positioned in such a way that no matter how you adjust them, the air blows directly onto the bed. On the first day, my wife even got an eye infection because of the draft. You can't open the windows due to mosquitoes and other critters. The second thing is the breakfast. The selection was meager and repetitive, and you can only book a stay that includes breakfast. Lastly, the hotel staff, while trying their best, were stretched too thin for a hotel of this size, especially noticeable at breakfast. But again, we stayed for almost a month, and it truly offers the best value and amenities in Marina.

This is a really great hotel. It's clean and cozy. The beach is just a 2-minute walk away, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owner is lovely and is at the hotel every day. We stayed in room 422, which had a separate bedroom and a kitchen/living room. Breakfast is included, and while it's not a Turkish-style breakfast, it's excellent for Asia. Many guests from neighboring hotels even came to ours for breakfast. Housekeeping is daily, and all towels are changed daily. Beach towels are always available at reception. Bicycles are free to use, and motorbikes are available for rent. The area is quiet and pleasant, with no loud parties.
