Hotel Pine Bay Club

On a large private bay, 4 miles from the very lively seaside resort of Kusadasi. To reach the hotel from Izmir airport, located 40 miles away, allow 1 hour.

Open year-round. The complex is so huge that the hotel is not recommended for people with mobility problems.

Built in 1986 and renovated every year, the Pine Bay is a large seaside complex built on the side of a mountain along a private bay. It has a main building (with 211 superior rooms) whose two glass sides overlook the outdoor pool and the sea. Inside there are several curbed terraces with a pool and indoor garden, providing access to another restaurant, a fitness club, a video games room, a shopping centre, a 1,000-seater conference room, etc. Outside, 300 bungalows are aligned on different floors in the 104 acre gardens that surround the complex.

The rooms in the main building of the hotel are large and comfortable, but lack style. They overlook either the sea or the gardens and have a large balcony, bathroom with bath and hairdryer, telephone, another telephone, a minibar, a safe (extra charge), satellite TV (lots of channels) and an adjustable air conditioning system. The rooms in the bungalows are less comfortable: tiling, shower cubicle and no hairdryer. But they all overlook the sea.

Meals are served as a buffet in an indoor and outdoor restaurant with 1,000 seats. The variety of dishes on offer, whether international or Turkish, is amazing. On the terrace you can enjoy freshly baked rolls or pick a grill from the barbecue. And to finish, have a typical pastry, a Turkish coffee and a hookah! If you are curious, try the a la carte restaurants.

About 655 ft from the main building is a beautiful private bay. There is a restaurant at one end, and a marina with concrete jetty at the other, and in the middle there is a pleasant sandy beach. Equipment includes beach umbrellas, loungers and a good range of watersports.
