Pros:

Doğayla içiçe bir otel. Konfor beklentinizi çok yüksek tutmamanızda fayda var. Datça’nın en uç noktasında olması sebebiyle doğa manzarası muhteşem.

Pros:

Doğa ile iç içe, sakinliği ve huzuruyla gerçekten dinlenmek isteyenler için harika bir yer. Otelin kendine ait müthiş bir koyu var, deniz tertemiz ve kalabalıktan uzak. Yemekler çok lezzetli, insanlar harika.

En önemlisi ise işletmeci Talat Bey’in ilgisi ve misafirperverliği. Her konuda inanılmaz yardımcı oldu, attığımız ilk adımdan itibaren aileden gibi hissettirdi, harika anılar yaratmaya ve arkadaşlıklar kurmamıza vesile oldu.

Planladığımızdan daha fazla kalmaya karar verdik ve her anından çok memnun kaldık. Doğayı seven, hem huzuru yaşamak hem de aynı özgür ruhu taşıyan insanlarla bir arada olmak için harika bir fırsat.

Pros:

Genel olarak çok güzel çok huzur verici bir ortam var otelde.. klimasız vantilatörlü odalarında konakladık ve maalesef çok zorlandık; tatile çıkılan zaman göz önünde bulundurularak oda tutulması lazım kesinlikle… kendi plajı çok hoş.. otel sahipleri ve çalışanları ( hem çalışıp hem tatil yapan gençler vardı ) çok tatlı çok güleryüzlü.

Watching dawn and sipping a great rose with my wife from at their dedicated sun terrace was a unique expereince. Finally we have aprreciated the warm welcome and nice chat with Cem, Talat and Hande very much.

A unique facility
Pros:

A unique facility with a family atmosphere in the middle of wild nature. Close to the excavations of Knidos and the romantic beach. And silence and beautiful sunsets. The staff is very nice and helpful, the service and food are excellent. Nothing to complain about.

Pros:

Expansive views, oasis, fantastic food, walking, ruins, very helpful and knowledgeable staff/owners, fresh air. Bus easy to Datca then taxi $25 or call hotel for options. On the way to Knidos historical site so you pass here anyway. Best to stay, snorkel, start watch, get healthy.

Amazing experience
Pros:

Amazing ! A stay in this hotel is an experience in itself. You we’ll feel from the first minute you arrive like at home. You are not a customer, but a guest - everyone will make their possible to make your stay an unforgettable experience - and they succeed in it ! How to forget the unique setting, the fresh, local and home made food, the pool, the direct access to the private beach, the googles and palms, the sunset and sofas dedicated to looking at the stars… ? Not to mention the access to the Carian trail…

The Knidos Lion Hotel :)
Pros:

First 10/10 for the fantastic and unique location, right at the end of the Datca Peninsula and a stone’s throw (or short and atmospheric walk) from Knidos, with perfect uninterrupted views out to sea and up to mountains behind. If you’ve travelled a bit, in Turkey and abroad, you’ll appreciate how special this is. Due to this incredible location, with old temples and Knidos itself all around, there is little to no development and very strict planning, which is good for natural beauty, but somewhat tricky if you are the hotel owner trying to create all the creature comforts that modern tourism demands. Despite these challenges, the whole setup is excellent, everything is clean and organised, the team are helpful, the food is good, and the natural beauty and the breeze that blows in off the sea more than makes up for any small inconveniences - though the only one that I noticed was a lack of aircon, that might put some off, but shouldn’t - there are fans if the sea breeze isn’t enough for you, but really aren’t necessary. For the eco friendly, it’s good to know all electricity is solar powered. And for Yoga fans, there is a simply majestic Yoga platform set in the hillside next to the swimming pool with the same inspiring views and, I’m told, exceptional acoustics. So big vote of thanks from me to the only family hotel team in that area going the extra mile to deliver this unique experience. For the more adventurous tourist, and any traveller, it’s high antiquity heaven!

Amazing and peaceful hotel in Datça
Pros:

Amazing hotel, friendly staff, stunning location! We spent four lovely days at the Göknar Knidos Otel, swimming in the crystal-clear water of the beach just below, hiking the surrounding hills (don't miss the path to the nearby ruins of Knidos), eating at the delicious hotel restaurant and above all - above all! - admiring the sea from the terrace of our room. A big thanks to everyone for your great welcome and a special thanks to Idil for picking us up from the bus stop and dropping us back there at the end of our stay. In short, it's the perfect place to rest and enjoy the pleasures of life. We will come back as soon as possible !!

Magical stay at Goknar Knidos Otel
Pros:

We loved our stay at Goknar Knidos Otel. The location is magical, there's an amazing view of the sea and sunset and a great beach for swimming. The food was amazing and the room very comfortable. What made the stay exceptional was the attention of the staff. They catered to our every need. I would highly recommend.

Macera arayanlara..
Pros:

Mükemmel bir konumu var. Knidos'un yanı başında ve şahin teprsi gibi bir konumda yer alıyor. Ancak otelin yönetimi maalesef iyi niyetli ve amatör bir ruhla yürütülüyor. Yüksek toleransa sahip gezginler için tavsiye edilebilir.
