Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotel

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean.

Yes! The Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotels is a a magical place -- a genuine hidden treasure. The well appointed rooms are expansive with beautiful views. The staff is exquisite. Each member of Ghislain's staff made us believe we are cherished family members. The afternoon tea and five-course meals on the terrace overlooking the beautiful Turkish Turquoise Coast were well prepared and very delightful to consume. We absolutely recommend you take advantage of Ghislain's willingness to take you to St. Nicholas Island for a bar-be-cue on the boat and to the 6,500-feet (2000-meters) Mount Babadag summit for paragliding down over the lagoon to the Ölüdeniz beach.

We spent three nights here and would stay here again if we return to the area. We had breakfast, lunch and dinners here. All the food was amazing, especially the five course dinners. The location is out of the way, but that’s part of the appeal.
Be sure to shower in the afternoon or evening, because they use solar water heaters.

We have just spent 3 magical days at The M&M. The Hotel is a gem. Beautiful location and a really special team making you feel at home. The pool area is perfect with great areas to relax under olive trees or in an alcove beautifully decorated. Every part of the hotel has charm and thought put into it. Couldn’t think of a better place to relax for three days. Thanks everyone

When I write reviews i always try to give a fair rating, the one to five scale does not provide enough scope to differentiate properties, therefore I often find that I am torn between ratings. Giving a four seems too generous, a three mean, my tendency is to move up not down. In the case of Mandarin & Mango would like to give more than five. This is an exceptional small hotel. The setting is beautiful, the garden a riot of beautiful flowers, the rooms are large and comfortable. If you opt for the half board package (which you should !), you will enjoy wonderful fresh baked cake with tea in the afternoon and magnificent five course meals in the evening, in the most beautiful setting watching magic sunsets over the Turkish coast.
The whole package is completed with the charming owners and ever smiling staff who make you feel as though you are friends rather than mere hotel guests. Indeed the recommendations for site seeing were provided in a charming and personal way, complete with excellent detailed hand drawn maps. We saw amazing places thanks to this help and advice.
Our only small criticism , we did not like the swing doors to the bathroom, it made the bathroom rather less private than we like.
Thank you all at Mandarin.

The hotel provides guests with calm atmosphere and excellent service. We enjoyed our vacation here especialy watching sun rising every morning. The service is always helpful in everything you'd like to get for your living. One thing that impressed us the most was dinner. It consists of 5 meals and is served on the terrace with a beatiful sea view.

This property WAS AMAZING!! I never leave reviews, but after the service here, I immediately went to review!! Rooms - amazing, service - AMAZING. You are truly treated like a king!! From the bellman to the cooks and food, and AMAZING host, trust me- you be disappointed. The views and mountains are spectacular. 6 STAR boutique hotel : )

We were lucky to be able to spend a week at Mandarin & Mango, what a delightful time we had! Ghislain and Aysegul were incredible hosts, along with the entire staff (Bilge, Fatima & Ilkay). The attention to every detail exceeded our expectations. If the views at sunset do not take your breath away the food will. If you are fortunate enough to be able to dine while staying at Mandarin & Mango and enjoy the 5 course meals served nightly, there will be no regrets, the signature soups (2nd course) are amazing, never thought soup could be that good. After an adventurous day in Fethiye how nice it was to come and relax by one of the beautiful pools, and a proper tea is served at 4:30 (because this slice of heaven doesn’t want you to want for anything)! Each room is spacious and well stocked with every essential. Cannot wait to return. ~ The Peters

Amazing stay at this beautiful property. Ghislain and Ayesha were amazing hosts and all the staff are super friendly. The views from the villa are stunning and the decor is gorgeous. The breakfasts were delicious, unfortunately we didn’t have dinner but the views from the mezzanine eating area over the sea are superb.

The rooms in this delightful hotel are huge and designed in a beautiful classic old mediterranean style with a lovely jacuzzi.
The gardens are lush and peaceful.
The food I was offered was good traditional home cooking at its best.
On meeting the owners they proved to be really helpful, especially for trips around the Turkish coast.
All in all I had a super time, it was a memorable experience for all the right reasons x

This is a gem of a hotel, in the village of Faralya on the Babadag mountainside.
Beautiful food, really perfectly sourced and presented.
Excellent staff, so friendly and attentive to the right level without being intrusive. The owner is wonderful and super helpful with planning your stay, trips out, history of the area and guided walks of requested.
The rooms are spacious and clean.
The pool is idyllic with many places to relax.

The food, the setting, the architecture of the facilities, the grounds, and most important, Ghislain, Ayşegül, and the entire staff at the Mandarin and Mango Boutique Hotels are absolutely a seven on a five scale. Everything was perfect. This truly is the hidden treasure of the Turquoise Coast. Don't miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime.

This was my second visit to the rustic but elegant Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotel in Faralya. I was here with friends three years ago and came again with some of those same friends plus new ones. I can not say enough about the warm welcome and superb hospitality, cleanliness, artistic decor, and excellent homemade Turkish/European cuisine. Breakfast served out on the cool morning terrace around the pool was, in my opinion, the highlight of the day, as well as tea and sweets in the late afternoon . Each eclectic room is spacious and decorated with a rustic flair as well as a delightful elegance that makes one feel very special. Views from each balcony vary from the Mediterranean Sea below to the upper mountain hill-top reaches above with neighboring goats and roosters greeting guests to the morn.

I hope my next visit will be longer as there is so much to do in terms of hiking, boating, water sports, gliding, swimming at the many lovely turquoise beaches and inlets, and of course, experiencing the ruins and towns where centuries of history was made. Even staying all day at the hotel is a yen experience. It is one’s safe haven! I highly recommend M&M!

I stayed at Mango for almost 2 weeks and had the most amazing time. The whole team were extremely attentive and gave great advice whenever we felt like a trip to the beach or an activity. There are lots of things to do within a 20/ 30 minute drive: beautiful beaches, touristy beaches, caters to all. The dinners were a big highlight, a delicious 5 course meal with loads of variety.

We stayed in one of the private villas which was beautiful and we had the most amazing view of the sunrise every morning. The best way to get out of bed in the morning! Would recommend y families or groups of friends! Perfect holiday with all the trimmings.

We had a fantastic time in this paradise spot.
Incredibly welcoming and attentive team that made us feel comfortable and at home. They were very helpful with any local recommendations including the various near by beaches, markets and activities.
We stayed in one of the private villas which was tastefully decorated and had a stunning sea view from the window.
We really enjoyed the delicious five course meals at dinner, which were accompanied by the wonderful sea and sunset view.
I would highly recommend to families and groups of friends. Perfect for the romantic getaway.
Thank you for the best time!

A group of friends and family stayed at the rustic chic Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotel. It was an absolute joy, we were amazingly cared for, down to every last detail.

The breakfast selection is broad and delicious. The 5 course dinner selection caters to all diets, with traditional Turkish dishes sometimes with a contemporary twist. The seating offered views of the mountains, forests and sea, as well as the stunning sunset.

Thé hotel has all the necessary amenities and is well located in a very quiet and serene area. A 30 mins walk from the closest beach (the hotel also has a lovely big pool) and 15 mins drive to the closest town, Oludeniz, where you can find nice beaches, restaurants, night life and paragliding.

Finally the best part, personally, was the staff. They were so warm and welcoming, it felt like home away from home.

I will definitely be coming back!

We had 6 wonderful days in the hotel. It's immaculately run, spotlessly clean and charming.
The staff are delightful, rooms big and full of character.
Food was good. Rather more than we actually wanted but it was all fresh and delicious.
We loved atkas beach (although the walk is pretty hot)

7 of us visited the hotel for a total of a week and our stay was perfect from the start. We arrived late into Faralya and were greeted with a small dinner of mezze regardless which was very kind of the hotel to do. The rooms were beautiful, the hotel very relaxing and everyone there was beyond helpful and friendly.
The meals provided (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner) were delicious and fresh. Dinner consists of 5 courses, with a different menu every night. It is held on a terrace with a stunning view of the sea.
The hotel is also a short bus ride away from Oludeniz and many other beaches, and within walking distance of the beautiful Aktas beach.
We had the nicest time all thanks to Ghislain, Aysegul, Bilge, Fatima, Ilkay and the rest of the wonderful team

After 3 weeks of touring Turkey's south coast, we were a little tired and needed to begin the drive back up to Istanbul. I had visited the beautiful Butterfly Valley in Faralya before, but my wife was keen to see it for herself. And so we booked a stay in Mandarin and Mango hotel. We could not have made a better decision. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to outstanding levels of hospitality by Ghislain, Aysegul and everyone who worked at the hotel. The buildings themselves are exquisite and hold within them so much history. Ghislain's story of how the hotel became what it now is, is fascinating, so do ask about the history of this place if you stay there. The rooms are spacious, tasteful and created with love and care. The building, like the rooms, feel like it has a story to tell; it feels quite special in comparison to many of the big hotels or fake boutique hotels. Ghislain is also knowledgable about the area and can instruct and possibly even show you places a little more away from the madding crowds - which will really add a lot of value to your holiday and make it something memorable. The beach he guided us to was every bit worth visiting, reminiscent of Vancouver Island's beaches in the opinion of my wife and I. Whilst there, we also visited Kayakoy on Ghislain's recommendation. It is well worth making the trip despite having to drive through an area that looks like it has been transported from North West England - illuminations and all. Kayakoy is a sad place, full of history and loss and a poignant reminder to us all today about the treatment of people. Back to the hotel... It is fair to say the dining area, which has stunning views out across the sea , is well represented by the food which is authentic Turkish cuisine of the highest order. We have lived in Turkey for 5 years but I would be hard pressed to pinpoint better Turkish cuisine than this. For a very reasonable price you will be treated to a 5 course meal of the highest order, with world-class views in a world-class boutique hotel. Breakfast is equally divine with lots of rustic, homemade goodies to tempt people like me - and there is even high-tea served around 4.30. It was the perfect end to our holiday and the two nights we had booked, turned into three because I did not want to leave. In other reviews, it suggests they cannot do enough to serve you here. It is true to nth degree. As we went to leave, we noticed that Ilkay (one of the amazing staff) had cleaned our little car and we could now see out of the windows again. Attention to detail and warmth like nowhere else on Earth. It was the perfect end to our trip of Southern Turkey. But of course, we will return, not least because we will want to visit this jewel of a hotel and its staff again.
