Wonderful peaceful place
Posted May 12, 2015
Pros: The staff are amazing, the place exudes calmness, food is home cooked using produce from garden. Eating by the beach watching the sun go down is wonde
Cons: The only drawback we found was the sound of a disco at a nearby resort which could be heard at night. Not sure how you could stop this.
Location: Location of resort perfect for a get away from it all trip. There is a bus service to Fethiye a short walk from hotel but little else in immediate vic
We had the most wonderful stay here. There are only 14 rooms so it is never overcrowded. Rooms are simple but very comfortable with good bathroom, tv, tea and coffee facilities and complimentary toiletries. The most lovely , well tended gardens supply the kitchens. There are hens and chicks roaming around and a creek full of fish turtles and eels. A lovely pool to swim in.Then you come to the restaurant on the beach. A wonderful view of the sea and islands at every meal and if the weather is cool a glass summerhouse to eat in. Food is home cooked and there is complimentary afternoon tea every day.But best of all are the lovely lovely staff who cant do enough for you.

Amazing experience and food
Posted Apr 20, 2015
Pros: (see "pros" above)
Cons: (see "cons" above)
We had an excellent experience at the Yonca Lodge. The staff are so nice and very accommodating. The pros for us were: amazing, fresh, food. The breakfast especially was something to look forward to, as well as the fresh fish for dinner. Location is so relaxing - on the beach, living among an incredible diversity of animals roaming free including chickens, roosters, frogs, cats, etc. The only cons were that we were there just before tourist season (mid-April), so the dinner menu was not elaborate. One other minor con was that there is a resort a few hundred meters away (club Majesty I believe) that played club music at night that we could hear in the distance. However, with earplugs it was fine to fall asleep. We would definitely recommend staying at the Yonca Lodge, and look forward to returning if we travel to the Fethiye area again in the future.
P.S. The google maps location of Yonca Lodge is currently incorrect, so the hotel is difficult to find if using this software to locate the hotel upon first arrival.

Better for those with cars. Bad comments by staff.
Posted Oct 21, 2014Beautiful setting and beautifully decorated rooms. However, I wouldn't recommend it for people without cars because it's far from Fethiye town, Oludeniz, Calis Beach etc. There are no restaurants or shops nearby.
Second, the shower was dangerously boiling hot. I burnt my hand testing the water.
Finally, I complimented the waitress on the breakfast and she replied, "Be careful. You're getting fat!" Shocking experience. I won't be coming back or recommending this place

Hotel Food for lunch and evening meals awful
Posted Jul 10, 2014
Pros: Don't have a burger or turkish ravioli as it's not freshly made but a supermarket product from the freezer section, 2oz burger!
Cons: We expected good Turkish home made food and good portions.The hotel needs someone who can cook good Turkish food. Mosquito nets over bed.
Location: To eat brilliant Turkish food and good portions you need to travel everyday by car/bus/taxi to Fethiya which is a shame as we didn't want to do that.
The hotel rooms are good and clean,the bed comfortable.The gardens are beautiful.The pool is good and clean.The hotel has its own sandy beach with loungers underneath mulberry trees.To get to swim in the sea you have to cross a stretch of sharp stones so you need to have those rubber foot coverings otherwise it's a pain getting in and out of the sea.There is a pond full of terrapins,water snakes,thousands of frogs.And home to millions of mosquitoes which come out to bite at night so bring lots of protective sprays or cover up.300 yards either side of the hotel are two huge all inclusive hotels which start to play their rave music from 10pm through to the wee small hours of the morning so if you are a light sleeper you will need to keep your room windows closed.There is no little village that you can walk to in the evening for a drink in the local bars or choices of restaurants.You are stuck with the hotel food.The inclusive continental breakfast is brilliant, home made jams,fresh breads,eggs,salad,savory pastries,cereal, fresh fruit, nuts, juices.The lunch menu and evening menu read well but that's all that's good about it.We didn't try everything on the menu as we only stayed for a week but after the second day we wanted to go home! I had the set menu the first night, the 3 plate meze was okayish. the 3tiny fish by the time i picked all the bones out after 15minutes left me with 2spoonfuls of meat.Turkish pasta with cheese - boiled, fried pasta with 2spoonfuls of feta cheese

Dear guest,
Thank you very much taking time to share your comments with us. We think that it is the best way to evaluate ourselves in a fair way. We appreciate your comments and ensure you that they will be taken into consideration immediately to improve diminish aspects of your accomadation . We try to make required improvements about kitchen and hope that we will serve you better. However, we kindly would like to remind that Turkish ravioli (mantı) is not a supermarket frozen product. It is prepared daily but to keep it fresh and unspoiled we store it in thedeep freezer. When you order a ravioli, you eat a daily product but kept in deep freezer. About mosquitoes, we have nets on windows and you can ask for repellent sprays from restaurant area and reception whenever you need. If you werenât informed about this, please accept our apologies. Moreover, we try to make required improvements about river near to garden but we respect to nature and keep it intact as far as possible. It has its own fauna and we are responsible to protect it. We are glad to hear that you liked our jams, we are preparing new ones fort he season. You can taste them again. We evaluate and improve ourselves according to feedbacks from our guests.

Loved location, good value,a few glitches,
Posted May 10, 2014This hotel has a great location, is charming, and the staff, particularly Danielle are great.
One thing they could improve is the food as the hotel is not real close to town. If you are interested in food, if that is important to you, and particularly turkish food,then take a cab or better yet donuts or bus into fetiye. They can probably do a burger and fries for you ok.
Great place to kayak, paddle board ,or swim from.

Nice location, but...
Posted Sep 29, 2013 on HotelsAfter a long drive and arriving in darkness we were welcomed by the friendly and accommodating staff who quickly got us to our room and onto a beach located restaurant table. Service and location of this hotel are great but I was surprised at the interior of the room which seemed more hostel than hotel, as did the 'restaurant'. Breakfast was adequate with hot resulting in boiled eggs only but again it was great to have a table on the beach. The hundreds of chickens and smattering of ducks and geese meandering around the gardens do add to the rustic nature of this B&B, which is more what it needs to be addressed as than a hotel even though it has full hotel facilities. It just needs a good scrub and smarten up all round to command the prices it seems to be getting. Also no fault of the hotel but the guests that place their towels etc on cabanas AND sun loungers whilst going for breakfasts and walks are really out of order. The smallness of this hotel adds to that - with only a few very well placed cabanas they are well sought after but this reserving whilst not using approach is so immature and belongs to those who have ot had much in life. To summarise, small B&B with a great out of the way location.
