Hi lindz,
Here is smallish map of Hisaronu. I have marked some hotels, but I don't know where St N.H. is, but maybe another member can tell you.



baz.

I too have been looking at this hotel for my honeymoon in August next year,it looks fantastic. I'm trying to get a price for going DIY. So yeah any info would be great.

I'm pretty sure it only opened half way through the season last year,that's maybe whey there's hardly any reviews for it.

Hi

Hope this helps.

this is a fab hotel but some parts are still being built. We viewed it last year to see if it was a good venue etc for our daughters wedding next year and we loved it. We were already on holiday in Hisaronu. I recommended it to my friend at work who went for a romantic week in May. She said the rooms are unbelievable, total luxury. The windows can be pulled fully open and you can view the sea and mountains from the hot tub whilst sipping complimentary champagne. The breakfasts are a feast of fresh bread,fruit, yogurt, scrambled, poached and boiled eggs, cereal. She said although it was being finished off there was absolutely no disturbance to them. The beauty salon and treatment rooms had just opened and the massages were fabulous. It is situated through the pine forest at the market end and is about 15mins walk downhill to the centre. (Obviously a bit of a hike on the way back but it is mostly lit at night). If you don't mind the walk a couple of times a day then the views are well worth it. he can't wait to go back and I can'twait for next year when we will be there.We have been to Hisaronu 4 times now and are going again this Sept. We love it. The people, the scenery, the food. Lot's of trips all about the same price e.g. 12 island boat trip. Dalyan mud baths, paragliding. Just be careful of jeep safari as there has been a couple of serious accidents the last couple of years.Anyway I could go on forever but I hope this has helped!

Thanks Leogirl, sounds fab, I'm still swithering whether book this or not.

It looks it, have you stayed there?

We have been looking half way round the world and keep coming back to that hotel, we were going to try somewhere different since it 's going to be our honeymoon, and i've been going to Turkey on and off since 1993, but i love the people,the food,the weather etc and i won't pay the prices they're asking for Spain/Cyprus etc. Haven't been to Hisaronu before so that is somewhere different eh lol

Hi, this is a long but detailed and very fair review!

We have just returned from a week at St Nicholas Heights, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. Our only regret is that we booked half board, we did not enjoy the evening meal on the first night, although the breakfasts were fantastic (cold buffet and a la carte cooked choice). Other guests we spoke to seemed to be very pleased with the quality of the food in the evenings, however it was not for us. We are not fussy eaters in the slightest, but although the food was very well presented, it did not taste as good as it looked! Also, there are several meal options blanked out on the menu for half board guests (when we complained to the rep, the hotel denied this so it may have changed following our complaint!) and also please be aware that the brochure (First Choice) is incorrect regarding the option to eat out three nights in Hisaronu. When we asked about the 'selection of restaurants' available to us we were advised we could eat at the sister hotel or one in Kaya which is over 10km away! In the end we cut our losses and ate out every night, and we did not have a bad meal. There are so many decent restaurants in Fethiye and Olu Deniz you would do better to go bed and breakfast. Restaurants to go to include the Olive Tree, Robin Hood and Dragonaro (Chinese) in Hisaronu, and if you venture into Olu Deniz you can't go far wrong with Captain Hooks or Buzz Beach Bar.

Food at the hotel aside, the rest of the holiday was amazing. The hotel is the quietest, calmest place we have ever been to. If you are looking for thumping music by the pool all day, evening entertainment, lager louts and screaming kids everywhere then this is not the place for you. There are none of the above, and that's what makes the hotel so special. The views are breathtaking, everything is impeccably clean, other guests and staff are very friendly (although it is true that many of the staff don't speak great English, but you are in Turkey so this shouldn't be a complaint! With a bit of patience you will communicate what you want!) The rooms are amazing - we had a jacuzzi suite and we don't think we will ever stay anywhere like it again. It was HUGE! The TV is on the wall in the lounge area, the room is so big you can barely watch it from your bed! The bathroom is massive with a double shower, king size bed, lots of beautiful little touches like nice little bottle of champagne on arrival and twinkly fairy lights above the jacuzzi. You definitely need to spend a little extra and have a jacuzzi suite. I cannot put into words how fabulous the room and the views were.

The location of the hotel is very convenient. It is set far enough out of the resort to be peaceful, but close enough to be accesible to both Hisaronu and Olu Deniz. You can take a very pleasant 10-15 min walk through a pine forest to reach Hisaronu centre, or a taxi or dolmus down to Olu Deniz (bus is 2.5 lire and you can get it from the bottom of the hill outside the hotel (2 mins away). The hotel also has its own private beach down at the lagoon and runs a shuttle bus there twice a day. The lagoon is peaceful but personally we prefer Olu Deniz beach as the sea is clearer and the beach nicer looking. Be warned you need beach shoes (you can get them for a bout a fiver there) because between the sand and the sea there is a lot of rock and shingle which is hot and sharp!

If you find yourself getting a little bored lounging by the infinity pool (stunning views over the bay - how could that be boring!?) then we would definitely recommend a boat trip. We booked ours through 'Explorer' on Hisaronu main street - Ahmet in their was extremely helpful. When we said we had heard that the 12 island boat trip was good he simply said, "I don't recommend it and don't think you'd like it - loud music, up to 250 people, too much sailing!" This was enough to put us off and he sold us a 5-stop boat tour leaving from Fethiye. For £11 you get an all day trip, 10-5, fantastic barbecue lunch, there were only 18 people on our boat (all decent and very friendly!), and 5 stops at beautiful little coastal bays, where you can dive off the boat, swim, fish, snorkel or simply soak up the sun. It was a fantastic, relaxing day and well under-priced. Definitely worth a try.

My partner had 3 Turkish shaves whilst in Hisaronu and would definitely recommend it to other men! We went to Moonstar barbers on the main street where the 3 guys in their were super friendly. For 6 lire he got a full shave, head, shoulder and back massage which lasted about half an hour. We paid 10 lire because it was ridiculously cheap!

The last thing I would like to add, which is a moan but did put a dampener on our holiday (nothing to do with our hotel!) is that we would not recommend travelling here with First Choice. They provide a very British service, offering awful flight times from most of the Midlands and London airports. We flew from Birmingham at 11pm on a thursday night, arriving in Turkey on the Friday morning. We only found out on our last day (the following thursday) that we had been booked into our hotel from the Thursday night (when we were in b'ham airport) and were expected to checkout at 12pm the following thursday, despite not flying home until the friday morning at 5am! Luckily the hotel manager was very accommodating and for £20 we got a later checkout until 5pm, but still had 12 hours until our flight. We will be making a formal complaint to First Choice, as I find it disgusting that they book you into a hotel the night you are at an English airport! I can only imagine it is a money-making exercise somewhere along the way. We did not have this problem with Thomas Cook last year when we had similar flight times. So my advice would be to check everything thoroughly before you book, which I thought I did - I never realised when I booked a week's holiday I would only get 6 nights at my hotel! Maybe first choice work on a different calender to the rest of us.

All in all, I would say that if you are thinking of Nicholas Heights, then definitely go for it. Have a jacuzzi suite, but go bed and breakfast as there are many fab restaurants to choose from. This is a truly tranquil, relaxing and essentially superior hotel, in a class of it's own. There are only really couples there and everyone is so friendly and looking for the same sort of holiday. Enjoy peaceful, quiet days by the pool, and if you want something more at night then Hisaronu is a walk away and Olu Deniz a 5 min bus ride (Olu Deniz is a much calmer pace, and we preferred it having been there last year and enjoying it as much this year). Entertainment at this hotel would spoil it. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed with the quality of this hotel overall.

great review i have forwarded to the owners im sure they will be pleased

thank you so much for that fantastic review, i have booked to go to st nicholas heights in october for 1 week on honeymoon with cosmos holidays. i am really really really looking forward to it!!! it looks gorgeous!!

You will not be disappointed...make sure you tell them it's your honeymoon. We told them it was our anniversary and requested a room above ground level (better views). The owner left an amazing gateux in our fridge to celebrate out anniversary. It's little things like that which make the hotel so special!

just been talking to the owners of nicholas heights and they are selling shares in these wonderful apartments,
they have started to sell fractional
ownership which means somebody can buy quarter or half share of a suit
use for holiday and get some rent as well if you enquire tell them john k1 nicholas gardens introduced you
thank you
