The Regency is a Kalkan legend. Loved by guests and the travel press in equal measure, this family-run hotel has raised the bar to the highest possible level in terms of friendly, professional service, delivered with a genuine smile in one of the best locations in Kalkan. We are delighted that owners Masuda and Nuri Tomanbay and their two sons, Dolunay and Aşkınay, have decided on Simpson Travel as their exclusive partners.

‘The best view in Kalkan’ is a title that many aspire to, and The Regency certainly has a legitimate claim to the honour, offering a wide-angle panorama of the harbour and the bay beyond from just about every corner of the hotel. Beyond the view, the focal point for most guests is the large swimming pool. To build a pool of this size in a place where level ground is more valuable than gold is testament to the Tomanbay family’s commitment to exceeding their guests’ expectations, a philosophy that you’ll encounter over and over again during your stay.

With an outstanding restaurant serving locally-sourced produce, a traditional hamam, a gym and an elegant spa, the hotel is aimed primarily at a discerning adult clientele, and guests under 18 are not permitted outside the main school holiday periods. You are very welcome to bring your children in the high summer months however, and some of the suites sleep up to four to accommodate those travelling with little ones. Even when the hotel is full, the grounds are so large that there is room for everyone to find their own space, and the gently sociable atmosphere of the bar and pool areas is a great attraction for guests of all ages, some of whom rarely leave the hotel during their entire stay. If you’d like to get out and explore a bit more of Kalkan, the village centre is around ten minutes away on foot, plus another five to the harbour.

The 41 rooms and suites vary in style, size and aspect, and all the individual room types are listed in our Details section. Whether you chose a standard room for two or one of the new Pool Suites with its own individual pool, the unifying factor is the warmth and attention shown to every visitor. Masuda, Nuri, Dolunay and Aşkınay clearly share our own passion for personal service, and we are confident that Simpson travellers will be as taken with this special place as we are and the many numbers of guests who return year after year.

Another excellent holiday from Simpsons. The help from the pre-departure department was particularly good and informative. Booked seat reservations for us and guided us through the airline’s website difficulties.

Mr Colin Peake, September 2024

It's like going home and meeting family everytime we visit the Kalkan Regency hotel.

Mr David Gibbs, September 2024

Every time we visit the Kalkan Regency we are always in awe of the high quality of service and the 'attention to detail' across the whole spectrum of the hotel departments. The quality of the food provided for the breakfast buffet is outstanding and to finish the day having drinks and dinner in the main terrace restaurant overlooking the Bay of Kalkan is an experience second to none in this area of Turkey - all personally managed and led throughout the day by the Tomanbay family.

Mr Colin Partner, September 2024

Our holiday experience from start to finish was brilliant. All the Simpson staff were friendly,helpful and extremely knowledgeable, Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Mr Robert Turner, September 2024

Really fun week staying at the Kalkan regency, amazing staff , very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Turkish feast night on Wednesdays is a must, delicious local food served around the pool, music and dancing. We even had the most amazing tenor singing opera arias. It could have been Pavarotti! His voice echoed round the bay. The other highlight was our boat trip on the Poseidon. Wonderful day, swimming off the boat in the turquoise sea . Lunch, rose and tea ! What could be better ! Mama also makes an eggcellent omelette ! Bravo Kalkan regency!

Mrs Lucinda Fraser, September 2024

A very traditional and established hotel, the Regency has a loyal clientele who return each year, and prebook for the following year, before leaving. Demand for rooms is like gold dust, and can prove challenging.

Mr Bruce Thompson, September 2024

Yet again, great hotel, superb staff and a lovely holiday. I think the food has gone up a notch in the hotel, and we really enjoyed our stay. We will be back.

Mr John Wood, September 2024

We loved the week we spent at the Regency and have already booked again for next year. As the reviews say, the hotel service is absolutely outstanding. The pool, the beach clubs, Kalkan were all great as well. Altogether an outstanding place.

Mr Howard Castle-Smith, September 2024

First class stay! The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Hotel absolutely beautiful! We booked again for next year while we were there! Nothing but praise for this super hotel.

Mrs Carol Churchill, September 2024

This was our second trip with Simpson Travel and it didn't disappoint. Our expectations were exceeded at every turn. The Kalkan Regency is a wonderful and extremely comfortable hotel, with charming staff who obviously enjoy their work. Nothing was too much trouble. The complimentary boat trip and Hammam, were both most enjoyable an a lovely add on. My wife was already discussing booking again for next year. We took our adult daughters to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and had a really lovely holiday. Kalkan is a gem and we will be back for sure!

Mr Hugh Headlam, September 2024

The Kalkan Regency is an excellent hotel with outstanding staff. Laura, our concierge was lovely and went above and beyond on a daily basis.

Dr Steve Doyle, September 2024

The Kalkan Regency Hotel is in a great location with easy access to the Town / Harbour. Kalkan has lovely roof top terrace restaurants all good standard and some are traditional Turkish menus run by families. The hotel serves a lovely buffet breakfast. Fish night was a la carte and enjoyed on the hotel outdoor terrace over looking Kalkan, stunning at night. We also enjoyed a great evening barbecue around the pool with live music and opera singer. I attended the cooking demonstration with Mama in the kitchen and was in my element... EVERYTHING made from scratch… mezze for the BBQ. Hotel always has daily special dishes for lunch time. The food really was great. Good size pool and swim up bar. Staff super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Our accommodation was nice and quiet .

Mr Trevor Clark, September 2024

Our third visit to this gem of a hotel, though not our first to Kalkan. It is absolutely stunning. The views are superb, the pool is immaculate, the food is exceptional and a great location. This hotel spoils you for anywhere else. Every guest is treated as though they are the only ones. The staff cannot do enough for you. Every single member of staff are to be commended. Every little detail is taken care of. This level of care and service starts at the top. The owner Doluney should be very proud of this achievement. The rooms have everything you need and the beds are very comfortable. Laura our resort concierge does such a good job of keeping everyone happy. She is patient and always smiling. Sometimes she has a lot to cope with but she glides along like a swan. We shall return!

Mrs Susan Edwards, September 2024

This is the best hotel in Kalkan The views are stunning The facilities are second to none This is a family owned hotel who have obviously extended their family to all members of their staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and they clearly enjoyed their work and the camaraderie of their colleagues We did not want to come home and can’t wait to go back

Mrs Edith McKimmie, September 2024

We loved everything about the Kalkan Regency and the service we received from Simpson Travel. So much so the the day after we got home we booked for next year... two weeks instead of one!

Mr Richard Fennell, September 2024

We enjoyed a very relaxing week at the Kalkan Regency - so much so that we have already rebooked! What a super family run hotel, all the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. The concierge, Laura was helpful and knowledgeable and very responsive to any WhatsApp messages. Donelay is the maitre d and the shining star at the hotel running everything with friendly efficiency and a great sense of humour. Anyone wanting to be in hospitality needs to spend time learning at the Kalkan Regency.

Mr Geoffrey Pentecost, September 2024

First time to Turkey and chose Simpson Travel with their exclusive partnership with the Kalkan Regency. I'd heard such excellent reports about the hotel and it all delivered perfectly. The local concierge Laura was very helpful and was always available which was very reassuring to answer all of our questions.

Mr Christoper Carbon, September 2024

Just returned from a wonderful week's stay and it was amazing. The hotel has a great relaxed atmosphere, the food is fabulous and the staff cannot do enough for you. Thank you for a fabulous stay!!

Mrs Elizabeth McDonald, September 2024

My wife and I have stayed for a week nearly every September for the last few years. We always thought we would never like an hotel so much that we would become regular returners. That all changed once we were introduced to the Regency Hotel in Kalkan, Turkey. It is hard to explain the pleasure one gets at meeting old friends among all those who run this beautifully managed small (40 or so rooms) hotel. The food is outstanding, the situation superb, the Point Restaurant and bar, which opens for dinner, provides the visitor with arguably the very best view of the bay and town itself. Breakfast and lunch are catered for in different venues within the hotel. This hotel is situated on a large site - a ten to fifteen minute walk from the centre of town and has a very agreeable amount of well maintained garden. The pool with its elegant curves is more than ample to cater for as many who wish to use it. To cap all these delights there is included a day trip on the hotels magnificent gulet - the Poseidon - or at your own expense a sunset cruise and dinner on one evening of your stay. In our book this hotel scores eleven out of ten every time!

Mr Andrew Maitland, September 2024

Very comfortable hotel with excellent staff.

Mrs Sarah Ramji, September 2024

We have visited the Kalkan Regency quite a few times over the years. The hotel, staff, village is extremely relaxing. We enjoy the fact that it is possible to book a time which is child free. Wouldn’t change a thing, it’s perfect.

Mr Barrie Swan, September 2024

After our third visit to the Kalkan Regency this review, as always, was very easy to complete. The Regency, being run and managed by the owners continues to maintain such high standards no faults can be found or commented on. A lot of the staff have been there many years, the head chef 20 for example. There is so much friendliness among the staff that nothing is to much trouble and any requests are delt with immediately. What really helps the Regency is that the owners and staff work together as one, it's a seamless operation that does not fail. Well done all and we are already planning our next trip, but Paxos comes first next year.

Mr John Hedley, September 2024

Couldn't fault the hotel at all and nothing too much for the excellent staff. Lovely location, and really enjoyed our pool suite - good pool and very private. Restaurant for evening meals was a superb location and excellent food, and buffet breakfasts were great. All in all a wonderful week in a really welcoming and well run hotel.

Mr Paul Smith, August 2024

I’d like to single out Laura - our concierge at the Kalkan. Laura was outstanding in everything we asked and could not have been more helpful. A credit to your company. Many thanks.

Mr Nick Levitsky, August 2024

A wonderful holiday at Kalkan Regency. Staff and management team were excellent! We will certainly return. Thank you!

Mrs Jodie Wrout, August 2024

This was by far the most memorable family holiday for us as a family of 4. Everyone was able to relax straight into the holiday and had an extremely comfortable stay throughout the two weeks. We stayed in Kiraz, one of the new suites, which provided the right level of comfort, luxury and privacy with a decent amount of wardrobe space(!) Laura as rep was so helpful and friendly, from booking a beach club through to sourcing local spices for us. Nothing was too much! Dolunay, his and staff should be highly commended for making it all look so easy. A particular highlight was BBQ night for the food and entertainment. Thank you so much- we hope to return next year!

Mrs Jennifer Lee, August 2024

Fantastic stay at the Kalkan Regency. The hotel team are fabulous, professional and friendly. The elements of our holiday organised by Simpson were excellent. Laura was informative and helpful.

Mrs Rebecca King, August 2024

The Kalkan Regency is offering the experience every other hotel aspires to provide; they cannot do enough to to ensure your stay is as comfortable and stress free as possible. It is the first time in my life I have decided on the last day that I MUST return and booked next years holiday from my sun lounger! There's a reason people come back and back, it is a rare find.

Ms Emma Old, August 2024

Being our sixth visit we are very familiar with the hotel, the staff, who never seem to change, and the family owners. Their welcome is so warm and their attentiveness to your needs is excellent. The hotel provides an overall good feel factor and hence the many return visits. It seems to attract a feeling of coming home each visit we make and needless to say we will return again. The quality of food is excellent and although higher end costs, it provides a well established standard. Keep up the excellent work.

Mr David Barnes, August 2024

The whole team at Kalkan Regency were excellent, but special thanks to Dolunay, Ash and Laura. They were another level, thank you!

Mr Leslie Noble, August 2024

What a gem of a hotel. Everything was perfect from the wonderful view to the excellent restaurant. The owner was always on hand and ready to help in anyway possible as were all the staff and the Simpsons Representative. We will certainly be back.

Mr Robert Hoskins, July 2024

Great resort. Booking seamless. Staff even better than you could expect. Simpson rep was amazing. Massively recommended. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Mr Adam Rosenberg, July 2024

Dolunay and family were amazing - very relaxed and natural. The food was amazing and a lovely location. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved our stay here.

Mr Matthew Victor Cox, July 2024

The Regency Hotel is a wonderful establishment. Family run with plenty of staff on hand to meet customer requirements all delivered in a very friendly and professionally manner. Wholeheartedly recommended. Whilst locations are often the draw and Kalkan is indeed beautiful it really is the people who make a place special.

Mr Richard Dix, July 2024

We enjoyed every second of our stay at the Kalkan Regency. The staff are absolutely exceptional ensuring a 'home from home' experience, the room was extremely comfortable, the bathroom had a fabulous shower and the pool was beautiful, the water like a bath. We will definitely be back!

Mrs Ruth Buckle, July 2024

This is our 3rd trip to the Kalkan Regency, it feels like we are visiting old friends . The staff, both hotel and Simpsons, are wonderful and nothing is too much to ask. The BBQ night is a must, the boat trip just amazing, as we leave our only thoughts are 'when can we come back ' Thank you

Mrs Mary Puczyniec, July 2024

We loved this hotel & the staff. We also enjoyed their special nights - BBQ, sunset cruise etc. Going out on their boat during the day was also a highlight. This is a small exceptionally well run family hotel and we can totally understand why people return year after year

Mrs Nicola Taylor Beal, July 2024

Told holiday sales team exactly what we were looking for in a holiday and he advised exactly the right holiday for us. Simpsons every time for us now after 2 excellent trips.

Mr Edward Fowler, July 2024

Absolutely love the Kalkan Regency and can't wait to go back!

Mrs Claire Wolstenholme, July 2024

This was a last minute booking and we both thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Kalkan Regency. The staff were absolutely excellent and in fact nothing negative to report. Highly recommend.

Mrs Sarah Blythman, July 2024

I could not fault our experience with Simpson Travel at all. They went out of their way to accommodate our last minute booking and were so patient, professional and helpful with the booking. We cannot thank you all enough for listening to our concerns and working out a way to book us at the hotel with our friends. Thank you so much. We loved the Kalkan Regency - such a wonderful family run hotel who were all so welcoming and kind. Such a special place. We had the most fantastic and memorable holiday.

Mrs Melissa Meacock, July 2024

It’s our 20th year in Kalkan and many of these spent at the Regency. It’s like going home! Faultless.

Mrs Janet Rogers, July 2024

A great experience! We will return. Thank you.

Mr Hamish Robbie, June 2024

As usual the Tomanbay family and all their excellent staff have provided a wonderful and relaxing holiday for us, we will be back.

Mr Timothy Gardiner, June 2024

This was my wife and my second visit to the Kalkan Regency Hotel in Turkey. It is a little gem of a boutique hotel in a beautiful area alongside a magnificent bay. The owners of the hotel, across two generations are exemplary in respect of service, delivery and quality. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel offers, as well as the usual amenities, a day long boat trip, affording opportunities for sunbathing, off boat swimming and consuming both gratis and paid for beverages. Lunch and tea are also part of the experience. We plan to return in 2025, given the usual constraints. Super holiday all round.

Mrs Rosalind Fitz-Gibbon, June 2024

Perfect

Mr Michael Dickinson, June 2024

Our fourth visit to Kalkan Regency and, like a good bottle of wine, it improves with age. It was a perfect couple of weeks and I would expect to repeat the experience. My wife Joan has some mobility problems which were effectively cancelled out by room location and staff consideration.

Mr Patrick F O'Connor, June 2024

The hotel is very good, but in danger of becoming expensive. Prices in Turkey have risen, and the country can no longer be seen as the ‘provider of a cheap holiday’.

Mr Henry Sherrington, June 2024

We have stayed at the Kalkan Regency before. This hotel has the best service of any hotel we have ever stayed in. It’s an exceptional experience all round.

Mrs Sally Young, June 2024

Very special place, everything about it is tranquil and very carefully thought out without it being obvious. Really good ethos and the service and food are great,

Mrs Sheena Lanagan, June 2024

Arriving at the Regency is like arriving at a family party . The welcome is warm and I feel as if I have come home. Laura is lovely. Vicky's shoes were hard to fill but she is making her mark as a friendly, helpful and very lovely rep.

Mrs Janice Walsh, June 2024

Another fabulous holiday with Simpson Travel and we’ve been telling anyone who will listen how great Simpson are and how lovely Kalkan is. Laura our concierge was an absolute superstar going above and beyond for her guests daily. The Kalkan Regency is a fabulous hotel - everything was great! Thanks

Miss Susanna Jackson, June 2024

We had a fabulous holiday with Simpson Travel going above and beyond our expectations. We could not recommend highly enough and will be booking for next year very shortly. Thank you for making our holiday special.

Mrs Jo Alden, June 2024

It was our first time to Turkey and kalkan and we loved it. We stayed at the Kalkan Regency hotel. Great service is at the heart of everything they do to make your stay special and memorable. Thank you

Mrs Pauline Lightfoot, June 2024

This was our third Simpson holiday and we have already booked again for next June. Our stay at The Kalkan Regency was just superb, the staff are absolutely wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them. You are made to feel so welcome and so special. There is nothing that can be improved on, yet every year they just get better. Well done to all the staff and The Kalkan Regency and Simpson Travel.

Dr David Teale, June 2024

Great hotel in an enviable location. The staff are excellent. Their lunchtime boat ride is a great experience.

Mr Thomas Walker, June 2024

Kalkan Regency is a fabulous hotel, great size, never feels busy or crowded, staff are friendly, efficient and super helpful and always smiling. A place to return to time and time again as really hard to beat.

Mrs Debbie Du Feu, June 2024

Like Simpson Travel, The Kalkan Regency do things properly. A first-class combination.

Mr Anthony Beaujean, June 2024

Overall staff were excellent. Accommodation excellent. We had a lovely restful stay, would recommend.

Mr Frank Jarvis, June 2024

As usual, our holiday at the Kalkan Regency was superb. So much so we have booked for next year.

Mrs Dawn Salisbury, June 2024

Very impressed with all the staff at the Kalkan Regency. They are an absolutely fantastic team & could not have been more friendly & helpful.

Ms Laura Fallon, June 2024

We had a great holiday. The Kalkan Regency was lovely (as previously) and so friendly. The Simpson experience was, again, totally professional. Laura was an exceptional rep and is a credit to the company. Thank you.

Mr Robert Moran, May 2024

The whole experience was truly amazing. The transfer from airport to hotel and on the return in a private taxi was a real treat, smooth journey and provided with water and refresher wipes. The Regency Hotel was beautiful, a wonderful warm greeting, literally our every need was catered for. The owners Masuda & Dolunay were so lovely and the whole Regency Team work together to make your holiday perfect. Stunning views of the bay, great clean sparkling pool, amazing food, and especially the accompanying meze on BBQ night, with the dancing was just so much fun. Our Simpson Concierge, Laura was excellent, so friendly and helpful, there at hand in person every day, or at the end of a WhatsApp. A highlight was the boat trip on Poseidon. We felt like we were leaving friends by the time we left. We would definitely return and recommend. Well done Simpson Travel, and The Kalkan Regency. We loved it all !

Mrs Lynn Robinson, May 2024

I’ve never travelled with Simpson before this and I must say how very impressed we were! I will certainly travel to other destinations with you in the near future.

Mrs Clare Stott, May 2024

It was a last minute decision to get away and Simpson Travel were splendid. Always available and so professional. Everything was perfect. Great transfer and wonderful reception at The Regency. A special thank you to Vicky who made sure we all had the most special time - such a lovely personality and so helpful, just superb!

Mrs Linda Thompson, May 2024

Recommended by friends, the Kalkan Regency did not disappoint. We have an outstanding experience and loved everything from the room with balcony and sea view to the warm welcome and consistently excellent service, the food and themed nights plus trips on the boat or to the farm. Our concierge Laura was very attentive and frequently available either in person or via Whatsapp. We were able to fully relax and enjoy all that the hotel and beautiful local area have to offer. It was a wonderful holiday and we would love to return.

Mrs Rebecca Beckh, May 2024

Kalkan Regency always that’s the reason so many guest return time again. Guest and staff are always friendly and kind, it particularly matters when travelling solo.

Mr Hendricus Van Heumen, May 2024

Fantastic as always, back again in October

Ms Sally Barrett, May 2024

Beautifully organised holiday by Simpson Travel. Will be going back to Kalkan and doing it all over again.

Mrs Carla McKay, May 2024

Excellent all around - loved the Kalkan Regency and Turkey & would highly recommend booking through Simpson Holidays

Miss Suzanne Castell, May 2024

Nice hotel with an enthusiastic, friendly team.

Mr Simon Bratt, May 2024

Our second year at the Kalkan Regency & it was as good as, if not better, than the first. We have already booked our third visit for next year. This year we managed to do the Friday evening visit to the hotel farm, which was wonderful - explains why the food is so good. We also did the Friday lamb night - fabulous - highly recommend. We didn’t do the Wednesday bbq which is such a fun night but will do it next year. The day on Poseidon the hotel boat is such a special day & is included in the price. This year we also caught a bus to Kas - will definitely go again. So many amazing restaurants in Kalkan to chose from. Looking forward to our next visit.

Mrs Karen Franks, May 2024

Excellent hotel offering excellent food. Good range of restaurants in Kalkan all offering choice and quality. Very good taxi service between town and hotel.

Mr Peter Munro, May 2024

We would like to thank Laura for her wonderful friendliness she is a star and an asset to Simpsons. It would be helpful for her to have the complete range of Simpsons local accommodation prices and availability... and of course Donulay what a charmer, we have known him for 20 years although never stayed at the Regency before, another star.

Mr David Graham Payne-Butler, May 2024

This is our third visit to the Kalkan Regency in as many years, and it was as lovely as our previous visits. The staff are absolutely delightful and welcome us back like old friends. I’m certain it won’t be our last visit!

Mrs Sara Benstead, May 2024

I cannot priase the Kalkan Regency Hotel enough. It is a relaxing idyl with superb food. You can tell it is family run with love by Masuda and Dolunay. They are superb hosts and have created an wondefully welcoming atmosphere. Simpson Travel made the whole experience smooth and calming. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday

Mr Robert Posner, May 2024

Laura was an amazing concierge , the location and the hotel were beyond our expectations .

Ms Kim Cooper-Grindley, May 2024

Lovely friendly Turkish family run hotel. Very good communication by the rep prior to travel and whilst there. When booking it was so helpful that I could speak to Simpson Travel on the telephone. We loved our holiday.

Ms Catherine Bailey, May 2024

Undeniably the best holiday we've had with Simpsons - perfect weather, perfect accommodation, and perfect service. We've always enjoyed Simpsons hotels and like to try new destinations each time, but the Kalkan Regency is one we'd definitely go back to!

Mr Garrie Mallen, May 2024

Another wonderful stay at the Kalkan Regency. We stayed in Lynx and Lyra with our three children and due to the location of these with their own private pools, it felt like we had the space and privacy of a villa, with the best of hotel amenities. A total hit for all the family.

Mrs Karen Beddow, October 2023

Laura, Dolonay Massuda and the hotel family team were all absolutely amazing. Laura is a great rep: she’s incredibly helpful, relaxing to speak with and goes the extra mile for everyone. We have stayed at The Regency off and on for years. They are the nicest kindest people and a real pleasure to know, the hotel itself and all the extras available including Barbecue Night dancing and traditional musicians, Fish Night, Lamb Night, Kitchen Cooking Event, and the Gulet Trip are all so special and so well done. The Gulet Trip and swims were wonderful and Laley and lovely boat Crew make the day so special and memorable. Everything is so well run, and everyone so well catered for. Thank you to everyone.

Miss Amanda Horsfall Turner, October 2023

This is our second visit to The Kalkan Regency and it is clear to see why people come back time and time again. You are treated like family and it is very peaceful and relaxing. We went in term time not sure what it is like is the school holidays. Everyone is friendly including the other guests and we will be returning for sure.

Mrs Caroline Sands, October 2023

From booking the holiday to the holiday itself, everything was excellent. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff both at Simpson Travel and the hotel. Would absolutely recommend.

Mr Timothy Westover, October 2023

The hotel was superb. The staff and the quality of service were as good as could be found anywhere. Beautiful. Would recommend Ophecius Suite. It’s heavenly - private and beautiful. The little town was lovely. Felt very safe and the people are friendly. Delicious local food and wine. Overall a wonderful holiday which we will repeat.

Mr Gary Lawrenson, October 2023

My third visit to the The Kalkan Regency. Laura, the representative, was an absolute star. I needed some medical assistance and this was a smooth and easy process, with her help. I was also struggling with selecting a book from the hotel shelves. She recommended an absolute blockbuster - the best book I’ve read in years. Thanks Laura!

Mrs Alison Potton, October 2023

Another outstanding stay at The Kalkan Regency. It’s always difficult to leave; it’s a remarkable hotel in every respect. I can’t fault it. The staff really make the holiday. Thank you once again - I look forward to returning in September 24.

Mrs Pamela Mack, October 2023

Beautiful location and hotel. Customer service was exceptional, friendly and professional. Food was gorgeous and the views were stunning. Beds extremely comfortable with sheets changed daily. Laura and the rest of the Simpson team made our stay easy with their knowledge and help. Nothing was too much trouble. And the same goes for the welcome at the hotel from the staff. I haven't booked a package holiday for years but we will be back on holiday with Simpson soon!. Great holiday. Many thanks.

Ms Alison Clare, October 2023

The Kalkan regency is a lovely, welcoming family run hotel. This was our second visit and we will definitely be going back. Laura the local rep was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. We had a really relaxing stay.

Mr David Turney, October 2023

The Kalkan Regency is outstanding in every way; it’s a beautiful hotel with fabulous food and the most amazing owners and staff. Add to this the brilliant Simpson organisation and it’s a marriage made in heaven and a fantastic holiday every time.

Mrs Vivienne Belcher, October 2023

Greeted at airport, swift transfer, warm welcome by Regency owners and staff. A fabulous week eating out in a different excellent restaurant every night. Going home and looking forward to coming back.

Mr Hendricus Van Heumen, October 2023

The staff and management at the Kalkan Regency are simply outstanding nothing is too much trouble.

Mr James Simpson, October 2023

An excellent and friendly service from start to finish.So good to speak to a human beings and not an answer phone/computer.

Mr John Baker, October 2023

One of the best family run hotels we have been to

Mr Peter Moorby, October 2023

For us the survey was irrelevant…. we have been to The Regency so many times they are like a second family/home. Nothing whatsoever is too much trouble for them. All the family and their staff are amazing. We hope health permitting we can visit them again next year. It’s a privilege to stay there!

Mr Stephen Pilling, October 2023

We stayed at The Regency Kalkan 26 years ago the first year it opened. Bookings were then through Tapestry. Our friends stayed at The Regency following our recommendation and have in fact been back many times. We have stayed at several other hotels in Kalkan since but wanted to return to The Regency again. We were not disappointed. The standard of accommodation and service is of the same high standard. The same family are running this hotel and it was great to see Dolunay the son now taking front of house. Nuri and Masuda have trained him well. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who cannot do enough for you. This is a very special hotel run by very special people. The Simpson rep Laura was excellent, extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. All in all a holiday to remember. We will hopefully be returning sometime, although it is hard to get booked in as people return year after year and book well in advance.

Mrs Caroline Richardson, October 2023

Our second time at Kalkan Regency. Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff are friendly. Beautiful gardens and views. Hoping to return soon

Mrs Rachel Ococks, October 2023

A wonderful property that attracts a loyal and passionate group of people who have stayed at the Regency many times. It has a calmness and peaceful atmosphere that is instilled by the owner and his wonderful team. A great hotel that manages to retain its “small” boutique origins.

Mr Bruce Thompson, September 2023

From the 'early reservation' to confirmed booking and the pre-departure information the service of the UK staff was (as normal) exemplary! Nothing is too much trouble, even at times when I feel that I am being a little demanding of some sort of assistance.

Mr Colin Partner, September 2023

Holidays at the Regency are like going to a family party. The Tomanbay family are so warm and welcoming. The staff are, without exception, marvellous in every way.

Mrs Janice Walsh, September 2023

Our 3rd visit to Kalkan Regency...as wonderful as ever. Good to be back after 5 years. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and the highlight was the Poseidon trip. All the staff at the hotel and boat are super friendly, professional and efficient. So pleased the hotel survived Covid! A pleasure to meet Laura.. a wonderful asset to the team and Vicki would be very proud of her. Thank you Simpson and Kalkan Regency for a wonderful holiday and for making my husband's 80th birthday so special. We look forward to returning!!

Mrs Denise Bailey, September 2023

We had a lovely holiday as usual when we go there. One of my favorite hotels and the staff are excellent. The rooms are extremely clean and the restaurant is fantastic. Great location. We will be back.

Mrs Tracy Herrick, September 2023

Lovely hotel, the staff were very accomodating and we were made to feel so welcome. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. The food is excellent and there is a huge choice. The BBQ night was amazing, as was the boat trip. We had a wonderful time.

Mrs Avril Reid, September 2023

High quality hotel with impeccable staff. Some rooms have many steps which you need to be aware of if mobility problems. A most relaxing and quality holiday highly recommended

Mr Andrew Dalton, September 2023

The overall experience was very good. The hotel, staff and support was first class. All staff members were very helpful and friendly in all cases, making it a very family oriented experience.Just a great holiday as always. ( 4th return member )

Mr David Barnes, September 2023

It was our second visit to the Regency, and certainly lived up to expectations, a wonderful friendly and perfect hotel for a relaxing holiday.

Mrs Jean Rowe, September 2023

I am not surprised that the Kalkan Regency customers return year after year. The hotel and its staff are excellent. My wife and I usually have a second holiday at this time of year and find there are often small details which can affect our enjoyment of the holiday. Not so with the Regency. Every aspect of the holiday was faultless.

Mr Paul Johnson, September 2023

Our 4th visit to the Kalkan Regency...it really is very special and it is our go to place when we need to switch off and relax. Dolunay and his family run the hotel so well, making it look effortless, which of course is not the case. Nothing is too much trouble…everyone you meet says the same and there is a real sense of family here which spills over to the guests, which is obviously working due to the amount of repeat custom they have. We arrived home yesterday and have a room on hold for September 2024! Special mention for Laura, who is your representative, what a great job she does too .. she was knowledgeable approachable, and extremely helpful.

Mrs Raziye Yusuf, September 2023

This was our second visit to Kalkan Regency and we had another wonderful holiday. They run a happy team and everyone is very friendly.

Mr Barry Ambrose, September 2023

The service from Simpson Travel is so efficient and professional. From the moment we step foot into the Kalkan Regency, it marks the start of two perfect weeks. From the warm welcome, like we’re family, to the impeccable service, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Kalkan.

Mr Leigh Taylor, September 2023

As usual our stay at the Regency was excellent. Staff were superb. Already booked for two stays next year!

Mr Robert Turner, September 2023

We loved our holiday to the Kalkan Regency ….we will be back !

Mrs Michelle O'Neill, September 2023

The Kalkan Regency is an exceptional hotel with genuinely caring owners and very attentive staff. Their approach is simply can do and will do. Lovely room and beautiful rooftop bar and restaurant with wonderful views and delicious food. I believe the hotel enjoys an extraordinarily high rebooking percentage and I am not surprised.

Mrs Pauline Brady, September 2023

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Kalkan Regency. There were many returning clients which spoke volumes about the hotel and staff. Everyone was very welcoming and attentive.

Mrs Julia Beagley, September 2023

I booked the holiday at the last minute, a week before travelling and all at Simpson Travel were so helpful. It was one of the best holidays we’ve had in years.

Lucy Passmore, August 2023

Lovely time, thank you for everything. Staff at Kalkan regency were all superb and a real joy to meet and talk to. Think we will be back ! :)

Mr Paul Wolstencroft, August 2023

The Simpsons' holiday to Kalkan Regency Our stay at the Kalkan Regency was wonderful, the staff along with Laura our Simpson Travel rep went above and beyond to make sure our holiday was special.

Cora Kemp, August 2023

We loved staying at the Regency hotel - it was perfect for our family holiday aged 12 - 87 years old . i would recommend it to friends the staff and service was amazing - i would book again.

Mrs Rosalind Copeland, August 2023

Amazing holiday; cannot recommend Villa Manzil and Kalkan Regency Hotel enough. Simpson made the holiday so enjoyable with their incredible attention to detail. Would definitely use Simpson Travel again.

Deryn Doyle, August 2023

The most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived everything was so easy - smooth transfer to the Regency and straight away we were completed relaxed. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us - I had told lovely concierge Laura in advance that I was pregnant so all the staff were helpful in making sure I had decaf options at breakfast and told me which cheese was pasteurised etc. The hotel is beautiful and the pool is one of the best we’ve ever used. All the extras on offer were amazing - the complimentary day at sea was so fun, the hammam was lovely and the bbq feast was incredible! I fully recommend everyone to visit.

Mrs Bethany Ditzel, August 2023

The management and staff at the Kalkan Regency are really wonderful. My wife and I have stayed here at least seven times and will return again in future years.

Mr Lawrence Dell, August 2023

We have been to Kalkan many times but first time in Kalkan Regency and loved it. Being a family owed hotel made a huge difference and it felt like we were treated as family right from the start. Staff are fantastic and work together as a great team and all appear to enjoy working there and always smiling and happy and doing their best to help everyone have a brilliant holiday. Guests also so friendly and we loved chatting to everyone at the bar with that amazing view of the bay. Laura the rep was always on hand to offer friendly advice and had great knowledge of Kalkan. Food at night was superb and we loved the specialist nights and the dancing at the barbie was great fun. Massive thank you to all who worked so hard to make our stay so amazing and relaxing.

Mrs Francine Swaby, August 2023

Our whole experience from start to finish was amazing with Simpson travel. Customer service and communication was outstanding ! Our hotel was perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way, from the location/pool/staff and other guests ! Laura the concierge went above and beyond to ensure we had the best trip and nothing was too much trouble for her. We would definitely look to book with Simpson Travel again in the future.

Mrs Jessica Tallents, August 2023

Perfect, relaxing, friendly and intimate hotel which ticks all the boxes, especially for families with children. A great location, amazing views, superb food and service. A good clientele and warm, club-style feel where many families have come back 4-5-6 times in a row or more! Easy going, with plenty to do for the more adventurous.

Saydam Salaheddin, August 2023

Decision to return fully vindicated!! We had a great holiday with chilled pool/ beach club days and several exciting adventures/ day trips. Laura could not have been more helpful, it was great having her around for any queries/ suggestions. She was so helpful but without being to full on!

Mr James Marsland, August 2023

The Kalkan Regency is an exceptional hotel. The staff and owners are wonderful - the high level of service and friendly atmosphere are at the core of everything they do. The hotel is located in a beautiful spot with outstanding views of the bay, the restaurant is really really good (and the renowned BBQ night is not to be missed). The rooftop bar is the most breathtaking place I have had the pleasure to drink cocktails (which are made by a master mixologist - no cutting corners here). The pool is a great size with a super swim up pool bar. I highly recommend a stay in this wonderful hotel - we would absolutely return without hesitation. Thank you for having us!

Sally Morrison-Booth, July 2023

The Kalkan Regency had the best setting of any hotels in which I have stayed in the world. The friendliness of all staff without question was amazing and the quality of the accommodation was faultless. A highlight of our weeks stay was the amazing barbecue. A credit to you all.Thank you for such an enjoyable stay. We will return.

Diana Saunders, July 2023

The Kalkan Regency is in a quiet position with incredible views. The centre is a short taxi ride away and walkable also. The owner and staff make the hotel, from the moment you arrive you feel welcome and relaxed nothing is too much trouble and the service is exceptional. The pool area is wonderful and the food in the pool bar and terrace restaurant is superb. The terrace bar is a great place for a pre dinner drink with a fabulous cocktail menu. We are a family of 4 age range from 19-50 years and the hotel and Kalkan had something for everyone.

Victoria Huxley, July 2023

This is our 5th time at the Regency & we say we are going back to our second family!! From the moment of arriving to leaving the Regency ( with the Turkish gesture of the water throwing to wish our return) We are looked after from every member of staff. It’s a pleasure to be a part of the Regency & Simpson Travel.

Babara Proctor, June 2023

The Kalkan Regency is just the most amazing hotel, both in terms of the quality of the hotel and its staff and the fantastic service, nothing is too much trouble. And the whole Simpsons experience both Laura at the Regency and the team in London is superb. I deal with Briana.

Vivienne Belcher, June 2023

Like many other returning guests we feel the Kalkan Regency is all about its stunning location and their amazing staff.

Lynne Duckworth, June 2023

This was the best experience we've ever had when booking a holiday, from picking the exact room you want to stay in the hotel you've booked, right through to the private transfer back to the airport. The little added touches were very much appreciated. These included access to the Indigo Beach club and the lovely day out on board the hotels private gulet. Nothing could be faulted, but the highlight was the Kalkan Regency itself, and all the staff that made it 'just perfect' - thank you.

Josephine Ellis, June 2023

Once again cannot fault our stay at the Kalkan Regency, we had a wonderful holiday and this is down to the unique service and personal experience offered by all of the staff at all levels.

Gregg Matthews, June 2023

Returning to the Regency was like a reunion with an old friend. The family are still on hand at all times to make sure the guests have the best holiday. We had a wonderful time and will be back.

Jane Fairbourn, June 2023

The Kalkan Regency is just the most amazing hotel, both in terms of the quality of the hotel and its staff and the fantastic service, nothing is too much trouble. And the whole Simpsons experience both Laura at the Regency and the team in London is superb. I deal with Briana.

Vivienne Belcher, June 2023

Thank you to all the staff at the Kalkan Regency. Each and every member of staff deserve hefty praise for their amazing work ethic combined with 5 star customer service with genuine above and beyond happy smiling attitude towards each and every guest.

Colin McCann, June 2023

I've never been to a hotel where the staff were so friendly kind and attentive.

Diana Wills, June 2023

I thoroughly recommend Simpson Travel and in particular the Regency Hotel, Kalkan. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. They were polite and the place ran like a well oiled machine. The food was fantastic and have never had a breakfast so good in Turkey.

Nicola Moore, May 2023

The Kalkan Regency really know what great customer service looks like. They certainly set the standard.

Ms Constable, May 2023

Honestly it was the best Holiday we've ever had. The Kalkan Regency and its staff are superb. In particular the breakfast and the front of house staff were amazing. The transfer driver stopped twice to save tortoise's crossing highways. We were absolutely blown away. Laura the rep was also very good and extremely knowledgeable. The whole experience was unforgettable!

Stuart Spicer, May 2023

This is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed at. A unique experience as it felt like home. A family run business with attention to every detail. Beautiful hotel, stunning views, extremely well maintained, fantastic fresh food from their own farm served in one of three locations. Stunning evening restaurant, beautiful breakfast terrace and relaxing lunch and pool bar. However, the real stars of the hotel are the owners and staff. Without exception every single member of staff went out of their way to help.

Susan Edwards, May 2023

A fantastic hotel with all the facilities and location to have a great holiday. The staff were exceptionally efficient and friendly.

Peter Simpson, May 2023

It was our first ever stay at the Regency after regularly visiting Kalkan over a period of 40 years and I can honestly say it’s the best place in the resort we have ever stayed in and for a myriad of reasons, but most especially the friendliness of the people working at the hotel and the ambience this created. We have already booked for next year this time towards the end of the season and we are already counting the days.

Stephen Hurst, May 2023

We absolutely loved our 7 days at the hotel. The service and hospitality extended from the family and extended through the staff makes you feel like you are staying in a club. Advice - go on the amazing boat trip offered early in the week, you meet guests and we had onwards fabulous evenings with other guests. It has been one of the best holidays of my life. I could not recommend this hotel and staff and Simpson enough.

Mrs Fox Davies, May 2023

There is a very good reason why so many people, us included, return to this wonderful hotel time after time. It is because we all regard the Kalkan Regency as our home in the Mediterranean, where the standards of hospitality and service never alter no matter what's happening in the world.

Timothy Gardiner, May 2023

The Kalkan Regency is such a delightful hotel! All the staff are genuinely friendly and pleased to meet their guests. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and the food delicious. Our stay was once again a wonderful experience and we send our sincere thanks to everyone at the hotel.

Janice Heighes-Brown, May 2023

This is undoubtedly the most pleasant of hotels we have stayed in. We have returned to Kalkan Regency on more than six occasions. And we shall be returning later this year and probably in 2024. Thank you to Dolunay and the Regency family.

Lawrence Dell, May 2023

We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks. We cannot praise the whole experience higher. All of the staff were outstanding and the service provided by both Jessica and Laura was brilliant. We could go on for a long time in high praise of every aspect but suffice to say one of the best holidays we have ever had. Thank you all.

Paul Selway, May 2023

Fabulous week at Regency Kalkan. Amazing hotel, pool, view. Fantastic staff - I don’t think we have stayed at a hotel with more helpful & friendly staff. Day out on the Poseidon boat was very special. Looking to book again next year.

Karen Franks, May 2023

Superb superb superb! The Regency staff and family are what makes this special.

Stephen Barnes, May 2023

A wonderful holiday. The hotel has amazing views, all the staff made you feel very welcome and couldn’t do enough for you and the food is excellent. We loved getting together with the other guests at the bar in the evening and looking out across Kalkan bay.Whether returning guests or new to The Regency, everyone was so friendly. Loved the boat trip too. One of our best holidays where we made new friends and can’t wait to return. Thank you Simpson Travel.

Frances Burner, May 2023

We visited at the adult only time(April) and found the hotel relaxing peaceful and most enjoyable, on all levels. We have already booked return visits in June and September 2024.

Terence Devine, April 2023

The Regency Hotel was an excellent base for our first visit to Kalkan. The staff regularly exceeded our expectations with the level of service & personal care they provided. The views from the hotel are outstanding, especially the night time view from the roof top bar! We were recommended to both Simpsons travel and the Regency by a friend and would pass those recommendations on to you whole heartedly.

Theresa Hackett, April 2023

Fantastic experience from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble, we were treated like kings and queens, fabulous holiday, will 100% book with Simpson Travel again.

Clair Cunningham, April 2023

We were recommended by friends to visit this gem of a hotel and were not disappointed. A beautiful setting and all the staff went above and beyond their call of duty. Run by the best family in Kalkan! A truly wonderful experience.Beverley Underwood, September, 2022 A visit to the Regency Hôtel, Kalkan is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Andrew Maitland, September 2022

Hospitality at the Regency was excellent - as good as the very best anywhere in the World! 1st Class! Dinner was also very good with the hospitality to match. It made for a fabulous experience. Would highly recommend.

Jamie Burgess, August 2022

I honestly cannot fault our holiday. It was everything and more that we hoped for. I have told everyone about it and would 100% go again. Both Simpson Travel and the Kalkan Regency were perfect. We have been blown away. The family running the hotel and staff went above and beyond and we felt so looked after and welcomed. We had the most amazing time. Thank you all!

Tabitha and Jamie, August 2022

This is the fifth time we have stayed at a Simpson hotel. They really hit the mark for a family holiday, fantastic locations, gorgeous breakfast included, knowledgeable staff. Plus our kids get to meet other kids which means they have an extra special time, making new friends and having fun. Mum and Dad can relax a bit too😊!

Ellie Larsen, August 2022

Our family holiday was everything that we wanted it to be. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Anything we asked for was made available, nothing was too much trouble and Dolunay and his team were so informative and helpful, they even taught us some Turkish, and were so encouraging when we spoke it. Kalkan is a beautiful region and we were able to go out and about exploring, after being given some great advice on sights to see and local information by Vicky, Zeze and Dolunay. I would highly recommend The Kalkan Regency.

Caroline Stickells, August 2022

This was our first hotel holiday after years of self catering, and you have totally converted us. The service at every stage was second-to-none and our hotel was a real gem. Many will have great pools, beautiful views and comfy beds but the staff at the Kalkan Regency are on another level. True Turkish hospitality, genuine warmth and big hugs for my daughter. Loved every second, thank you.

Susie Lee-Kilgariff, July 2022

Our holiday was perfect in every way. We knew it would be! We have stayed with Simpsons about half a dozen times and the whole experience is of the highest calibre. The Kalkan Regency is a very special place. The service is first class, the staff become your friends and they create a unique atmosphere and all in a very understated way. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble. We are always very sad to leave and look forward to the next time.

Philippa Tuck, July 2022

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. The help and support provided by Simpson holidays before departure was excellent. At the Kalkan Regency we were very well looked after and the facilities, food, friendliness of staff and attention to detail makes this a stand out holiday. We hope to return very soon.

Ms Fielden, July 2022

The Regency sets a great standard and we had a fantastic week. Onder was particularly superb. As was the receptionist, who couldn't do enough for us.

Steven Barnes, July 2022

Had a wonderful holiday at The Kalkan Regency from the moment we arrived. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - it really has a family atmosphere. There was nothing that they wouldn't do. All the food was fresh, well prepared and the majority of it was sourced from their local own farm. We shall definitely return!

Nigel Butler, June 2022

We finally made it back to our favourite holiday spot, the Kalkan Regency Hotel, in Turkey. After the enforced absence of three years, it was wonderful to be back. Nothing had changed. Great hotel in a fabulous location overlooking Kalkan Bay. Then the usual welcome from the owners and staff, treating all the arrivals as friends and part of the family, rather than “ just “ guests! We weren’t disappointed with our stay, so much so, we have booked again and for next year. Can’t wait!

John Powell, June 2022

I have travelled on holiday with Simpson 3 times now, which would have been more but for Covid! Each time the overall experience gets better from start to finish. In this case, the Kalkan Regency was outstanding and exceptional. The hotel is brilliant and quite unique I suspect. I cannot praise everyone of the hotel and Simpson staff high enough! It would have been impossible for them to have done more! Whilst I was there I unfortunately tripped on my way to breakfast one Friday morning. Within seconds fellow holiday makers and staff were fussing over me. After a visit to the hospital where I had an MRI scan within six minutes of arrival, it turned out that I had broken a rib and could not fly home on the following Sunday (Oh dear, what a shame - I had to stay four days longer in an upgraded room!) I am recounting this because it is a small example of just how concerned and helpful everyone of the staff was! The waiters even helped me get out of bed in the morning and in and out of sun loungers and chairs all day long! I definitely will visit again like so many other people I met - but, my only reservation is that there are other Simpson hotels still to try!

Trevor Lloyd, June 2022

As ever, the Regency and their wonderful family of hosts and staff deliver just what the weary traveller in need of relaxation, sun and Kalkan hospitality could ask for. We will be back - again and again.

Helen White, June 2022

This was our first holiday to Turkey so we didn’t quite know what to expect, however booking with Simpson’s Travel we had the confidence that I would be a good experience. The hotel, staff and location of the hotel was 1st class in every department. We left resort feeling we got the experience we dreamed of and can understand who guests return every year. The manager/owner was simply unbelievable in his work ethic and all the staff made our stay very special. We will return.

Kelly Bennett, June 2022

Excellent Holiday from start to finish, Hannah at Simpson was very helpful when booking the holiday. The Kalkan Regency Hotel is absolutely superb, the setting and views are truly stunning. The hotel and staff go over and above to make your holiday outstanding, we would definitely return and can see why so many of the guests we met there were repeat customers. The Gulet trip was fabulous along with the sunset dinner, well worth the 2 hr transfer. Look forward to returning. Kalkan is well worth a visit.

Neal Clark, June 2022

Just a BRILLIANT place and service. So polite, helpful and enjoyable, so much so that I've booked to go again in 3 months time.

Colin Wills, June 2022

There is something special about the Kalkan Regency that draws you back time and time again. First class food, facilities and service delivered in a professional yet unassuming manner.

Sarah Matthews, June 2022

We enjoyed an absolutely amazing stay at the Kalkan regency. Nothing was too much effort for the staff who provide a flawless service. They made everything very easy, including a gluten free food preference which was then subsequently remembered for the whole stay without needing to be repeated. Overall a very enjoyable and super relaxing experience, thank you!

Mark Edmond, June 2022

Fabulous holiday with amazing friendly staff great location near the town and a beautiful hotel.

Rebecca Nicholls, June 2022

Was it worth travelling to Gatwick the day before and staying overnight at an airport hotel and getting up at 3 am for a 06.10 flight? Was it worth a 1hour 45 minute drive from airport to resort, albeit in a luxury, air conditioned private transfer? Within a few hours of arriving at the Kalkan Regency the answer was a resounding YES.

Raymond Simmons, May 2022

The best holiday I've ever had. I cried when I left. I will return as soon as I can. What a truly special and remarkable place made even more so by the dedicated team and owners and the wonderful Simpson guests, most of whom are repeat visitors - I can understand why.

Pamela Mack, May 2022

The Kalkan Regency is a real credit to Simpsons. The hotel is run with quiet, understated, efficiency. Nothing was too much trouble and it felt like the staff were as happy to be there as we were. Just delightful.

Sara Benstead, May 2022

The Kalkan Regency exceeded our anticipation and expectation in all respects. The management and staff all went out of their way to make us welcome, and treat us royally. We believe that the experience this family have gained in their twenty plus years of managing this hotel and interacting with English guests has resulted in one of the most relaxed and enjoyable holidays we have ever enjoyed.

Mr Sheppard, May 2022

A truly wonderful holiday at the Regency, and Simpson Travel made the experience seamless.

Susan McGowan, May 2022

We have just returned from our second visit to The Kalkan Regency Hotel. From the welcome on arrival , fabulous scenery , high standard of accommodation, delicious food and fabulous service it is no surprise that there is a high number of repeat visitors. The team work hard to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The hotel is both intimate and spacious , the view from the terrace bar and restaurant are unbeatable and the hospitality is second to none. Combine that with great personal service from the Simpson Travel team and you too will keep returning.

Pauline John, May 2022

Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed and friendly holiday - owners and staff always available and nothing too much trouble. Meeting people who have visited time and time again says it all.

Geoff and Ann, May 2022

It was our 1st stay at the Kalkan Regency but not our 1st to Kalkan, so we already knew the location was great for access to the town / harbour as well as restaurants closer to Kalamar, we’d already been to the Hamam there on previous visits, so we knew what to expect with respect to quality of the building. However, what was new to us was the staff there - they were just so lovely, they were incredibly welcoming, helpful & friendly and certainly made the holiday the great experience that it was. We’ll be back!

Claire Bardsley, May 2022

We had a wonderful time at the Kalkan Regency. The attention to detail, warm welcome and freshly prepared food cooked to order was amazing. Little things like the cookery demonstration just gave the experience an added bonus. The whole family made you feel so welcome with the personal touch that you don’t get with a company. Boat trip, barbecue , farm trip were amazing. We were made to feel so special. It was a magical holiday and we would love to return.

Philippa Hart, May 2022

Our holiday experience was far better than we expected, having had to change destinations due to ridiculous EU passport regulations. Our hopes for Turkey had been low due to a visit there over 10 years ago, when we said we would never go back. What a difference Simpson Travel made, such a beautiful location with friendly people, who couldn’t do enough to make our stay one of the best holidays ever. So good in fact, we have booked to go back for a fortnight in September of the same year!

Carol Horner, May 2022

Wow, this was our first time away since 2019 and we couldn’t have wished for more. The Regency, it’s staff, the service and location was far and away better than our expectations- so much so that we booked again for October before we even got home. Some might say that Simpsons is more expensive, we would say that it is worth every single penny! Well done Simpsons, Kalkan Regency staff and Vicky, what a holiday, what a place, and what an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you.

Tracy Wilson, May 2022

Kalkan Regency Hotel was excellent and the staff were superb, the highlight for me was the complementary day trip on the boat which was brilliant. Kalkan its self is a great place to visit.

Paul Dyer, May 2022

20 years since first going to The Kalkan Regency - unbeatable as always. Kalkan is surrounded by amazing Lycian and Roman sites - visited spectacular Pinara for the first time - apart from the tortoises we were the only ones there.

Stephen Walkley, May 2022

An excellent holiday once again at our favourite destination the Kalkan Regency. Dolunay and his team are keeping the values that we are all constantly searching for, such nice people within lovely surroundings. They are a credit to themselves and would consider them to be some of my favourite and trusted people I know.

Martin Davies, May 2022

We have just returned from one week’s holiday at the Kalkan Regency Hotel and completed the dreaded PCR tests. Although it is not pleasant at airports and on aircraft at the moment, this was more than compensated for by the excellent service and holiday we had with Simpson. Zeze, the rep, was excellent along with the management and staff at the hotel and icing on the cake was the lovely gesture on our 45th wedding anniversary. We have been together for 50 years which Simpson and the Kalkan Regency staff made so special for us both on that night. A big thank you to all and we will be return in the future! Keep up the good work and support The Kalkan Regency!

Andy & Jane Rennie, October 2021

This was a lovely holiday which we took at short notice. We enjoyed it much more than we expected and it was a great antidote to the situation in the UK with Covid-19. The hotel was beautifully situated with views over the mountains and bay, though Kalkan has grown profusely since last we were there. The staff were most helpful at a trying time and there was a good rapport with the other guests. Your local representative, Vicki, was excellent. This was the first time that we have travelled with Simpson.

Charles & Imelda Broughton, September 2020

This was our second visit to The Kalkan Regency. A fantastic hotel, I would recommend New Standard rooms, plenty of space, smaller bathrooms but with a good shower and sink area, plenty of storage in both room and bathroom with a nice balcony or patio to sit out on. We also stayed in Virgo Pool Suite, if you can afford to upgrade this is a must, a huge room with two seating areas, walk-in shower, bath. The outside boasts a sundeck with two sunbeds, private pool and table and chairs. For me the people and the service make a resort/hotel and if you like friendly, personal service without being intrusive this hotel is for you. A family-run property that makes everything so easy. I can see why people return year after year to this hotel. There are some nice additional touches when you book with Simpson Travel including complimentary Turkish bath, full day boat trip, access to a local beach club, beach towels if you want to go out of the resort, two small bottles of water per day. In terms of other facilities, there is a lovely restaurant called Sea Point with fantastic views, a large swimming pool with a restaurant that boasts a fresh extensive menu. The Kalkan Regency has its own farm, so food is of a very high quality and very fresh. In addition, there is a Spa and Hamam and very small, basic gym. The rooftop bar is a must – so picturesque with lots of choices of beverages for that pre-dinner drink or night cap under the stars. In terms of Covid-19, the hotel again delivered a very high standard. The town of Kalkan is so pretty with lots of lovely restaurants serving a range of local and international cuisine on pretty terraces and also along the harbour. We were so glad we managed to travel this year, we felt very safe and would go there again. If you are thinking of going, book early it’s a popular hotel renowned for its service and delivery!

Bhavneeta via TrustPilot, September 2020

This was our first visit to the Kalkan Regency and it is easy to understand why there are so many returning guests. The hotel is beautiful, a fabulous pool, friendly staff, good food and a high standard of accommodation. We stayed in one of the pool suites and we could not have been happier. We enjoyed the boat trip and Hamman experience which is included in the stay. Like many others we will be back. Thank you also Simpson Travel for such efficient personal service. It was a pleasure.

Pauline John, September 2020

Another wonderful holiday in our 'happy place' made even more special by the Regency family! Special thanks to Dolunay and Vicki who made sure we had a Silver Wedding anniversary to remember. Thank you!

Glynn Parker, September 2020

Our first holiday in Turkey and look forward to returning. The Kalkan Regency has been wonderful! Everything is thought of and provided for – lovely professional and friendly staff, delicious food and beautiful gardens/pool.

Fiona Mould, September 2020

Lovely hotel, amazing staff and food...boat trip excellent. We shall return!

Judith Taylor, September 2020

My partner and I enjoyed the most fantastic week at the Kalkan Regency. Having cancelled our family holiday to Spain at the last minute, we were desperate to find a holiday that would offer a suitable escape. Enter: Simpson Travel and the Kalkan Regency. Simpson Travel was exceptional. Responsive, knowledgeable and courteous; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family. The Kalkan Regency was sublime. Most impressively, they had adapted very well to the pandemic and had implemented a series of processes to ensure the safety of their staff and guests. Of equal importance was the experience that they ensured all guests had, in spite of the additional precautions. You are treated like family from the moment you set foot in the splendid surroundings. You are catered to in every fashion, and I would advise that everyone stay here at least once if at all possible. The trick is staying away, judging by the number of visits our fellow guests had previously made. Highlights included: the day trip (with exceptional company) on the Regency’s gület boat and the watching the moon rise whilst eating our evening meals in the hotel restaurant. Great for families or couples...we shall return.

Tim Andrews and Laura Watts, August 2020

Another wonderful holiday at The Kalkan Regency Hotel. We were thoroughly spoilt by Masuda, Nuri, Dolunay and all the wonderful staff! We did not leave the hotel except for the boat trip as the food is amazing and the menu is vast. With Covid-19 we were very nervous about travelling this year, however, we felt very safe at Kalkan Regency and all precautions had been taken to ensure staff and guests were kept safe. We look forward to seeing our Turkish family again next year!

Roselyne Buckner, August 2020

”The best ever...” and “The best ... I have ever had” were the most frequently used words all holiday. This ranged from best view, to best pasta, to best cocktail. The Kalkan Regency is such a beautiful hotel, the atmosphere is perfect and every member of staff pay attention to every detail. As you arrive at the hotel, the relaxed atmosphere is tangible and you can’t help but fall in love with it. Without exception The Kalkan Regency followed every safety precaution to ensure everyone was safe in this current climate: briefing everyone on arrival, temperature checks, staff members wearing masks, spaced tables and sun beds, etc. One thing we loved is the staff members are so kind, helpful and thoughtful. I am dairy and gluten intolerant and the waiters and chef did everything they could to accommodate me. I have had the best food I have ever eaten, they accommodated me far better than in England. The food was delicious, homemade and authentic. My brother had the best traditional Turkish pasta three days in a row, he absolutely loved it and was offered to go and watch how it was made. The best family holiday we have ever had and we will definitely return.

Pip Tuck, August 2020

Wow! What a fantastic holiday. Really felt for the family who run this hotel given the drop in numbers due to Covid-19, but they made sure there was little or no impact on our holiday. There was hand sanitiser everywhere and all staff wore masks at all times – we felt totally safe and very looked after. We couldn't recommend them or Vicki, our Simpson rep, more highly. Nothing was too much trouble and great recommendations for eating out. The hotel is exactly as it is represented on the website and is gorgeous!

Sam Windsor, August 2020

We booked this trip at the very last minute as we were due to fly to Palma for two weeks but had to cancel due to Covid-19 quarantine restrictions. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we have made. This was our first trip to Turkey and we fell in love with the country and in particular Kalkan instantly. We arrived at the hotel at midnight but were warmly welcomed by Dolunay (the owner) and the fabulous Murat, serving us fresh lemonade and bringing a mezze platter to our room. From the charming staff serving breakfast and lunch to the indispensable Murat serving drinks at the bar in the evening and of course the excellent Aladdin (the kindly security guard who looked after our daughters when returning late After enjoying Kalkan’s nightlife!), nothing was ever too much trouble. We cannot recommend the Kalkan Regency more highly and Simpson Travel made our trip seamless and took care of everything. We can’t wait to go back.

Stuart White, August 2020

In spite of Covid-19 we had a really fabulous time. The staff could not have been more helpful and made our holiday a really memorable one.

Bob Wells, July 2020

This was the fourth visit to Kalkan Regency. The staff are brilliant, the rooms are very comfortable and well taken care of. Vicki is terrific and the family, Dolunay and his parents are exceptionally kind and friendly. We will be returning in 2020.

Denise & Lawrence, October 2019

Our experience with your company was absolutely faultless and you have thought of everything! I have never had such a smooth and stress-free holiday in my life and this was all due to your thoughtfulness. From booking our holiday in the UK to the flights to the hotel and home again everything was carefully thought through by you so that we didn't have to think about anything. Thank you so, so much. It will be very difficult to ever travel with anyone else!

Mrs Bennett, October 2019

Our stay at the Kalkan Regency was very enjoyable, the hotel offers a wonderful location with a high standard of friendly service. Unusually for me, I cannot think of anything I would change!

Tessa, October 2019

A lovely touch was an e-mail from our resort representative to our home a couple of days before we left to say she was looking forward to meeting us. This set the tone for the holiday, which was of the highest standard. Our first Simpson holiday persuaded us to try them again and this, our second, just confirmed that we were right to do so. We have just booked our third!

Chris B, October 2019

Another wonderful visit to the Kalkan Regency. Can’t recommend this wonderful boutique hotel enough. The location is ideal with wonderful views across the harbour. The family and their wonderful staff can’t do enough to make your stay perfect. This is a family-run hotel and they are all hands on to make it feel like a home from home. The barbecue night on a Wednesday is something special and such a fun night with excellent food and the staff joining in with the Turkish dancing. This is our second visit this year and we keep going back and back. Hope to visit many more times in the future.

Ms Jones, October 2019

A fabulous location with beautiful views. Genuinely impressed with the staff and service, nothing was too much trouble. Quality of food was very enjoyable special nights particularly the barbecue and spit roast lamb were delicious. Totally recommend.

Mrs G, October 2019

We found our rep, Vicki, very helpful and knowledgeable – in fact one of the best reps we have had over many years of travelling abroad – nothing was too much trouble. Would also like to add many thanks to all of the Simpson Travel team for being so helpful. We do not have a printer so when we requested paperwork to be posted on to us this was always done. Once again thank you to all of the team for all their help.

Barbara & Barry Dalton, September 2019

Must rank as one of the top two holidays we have ever had in 48 years of marriage. The Regency is just perfect, not overly stuffy, all the staff made us feel at home and yet never far away. Our local Simpson rep, Vicki, was just spot on – she had every detail covered and has such a great breadth of local knowledge. Thank you Simpson Travel for a great experience on both our 70th birthdays.

Margaret Hedley, August 2019

Usually after a 2-week break I am happy to be going home, at the Kalkan Regency I just did not want to leave. As someone who travels the world constantly on business I can honestly state that the friendly, unhurried level of service was second to none.

Keith Golds, August 2019

We had the most amazing two week holiday. The hotel has a stunning setting with beautiful views, the food was fantastic and the staff just delightful. We would like to say a very special thank you to Dolunay and Masuda. The barbecue was outstanding and great fun. We will definitely be back next year.

Amanda & Philip Hanley, August 2019

As mentioned before Simpson is very lucky to have the services of their tour manager in Kalkan. She has a wonderful knowledge of the area, and especially of the local restaurants. She is the extra dimension that every tour company needs.

John Moffatt, August 2019

The Kalkan Regency is a beautiful hotel and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are charming and friendly. The hotel is only a 15-minute walk from the town centre with a wide choice of restaurants, so ideally positioned if you like to eat out in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel's Turkish barbecue evening – great fun and delicious food.

Pippa Day, July 2019

Our stay at the Kalkan Regency Hotel was wonderful. The staff at the hotel were extremely welcoming and kind; many of them speaking excellent English and all of them taking great pride in their work. The hotel has a strong sense of being family run and the staff are keen to welcome you into that family. The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, complementing the fantastic views from the terraces and rooms. The day trip on the hotel owned gulet, Poseidon, is not to be missed. After 30 years of holidays as a family and now as a couple, this will be the first place to which we will definitely return.

Mrs Braund, July 2019

The Kalkan Regency exceeded our expectations in every way. The location of the hotel is superb and we were able to walk quite easily into the town (although we always took a taxi back as Kalkan is quite hilly). The family were most welcoming and we were made to feel very special. The staff were amazing. Very efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The swimming pool was probably one of the best we have ever had. We will definitely return one day.

John & Jenny Luther, July 2019

Everything about it is fantastic. The icing on the cake is the pool – the best we have ever had. Staff and owners are incredible. Everything is OUTSTANDING. We cannot wait to visit again. We cannot fault one single thing.

Simpson Traveller, July 2019

A truly special experience – I would thoroughly recommend a visit. Loved the pool suites – very special and a great view. Will definitely be going back!

Jo Noon, July 2019

This was our first visit to the Kalkan Regency and it did not disappoint. The staff were extremely attentive, our room was superb and the little extras that come with the holiday just added to make it a very restful and relaxing week away, which was exactly why we chose this hotel.

Mrs Horton, June 2019

Simpson and the hotel were excellent. Vicki is a real asset to Simpson. The Kalkan Regency cannot be faulted – lovely hotel.

Simpson Traveller, June 2019

Yet again the Kalkan Regency gets it right. Also impressed by Simpson Travel reps who dealt with other guests’ problems that were caused by third parties – nothing to do with Simpson or the Regency.

Stephen & Nora Walkley, June 2019

Another wonderful holiday at the Kalkan Regency Hotel – a lovely, well-run family hotel, where everyone does that little bit more to please. Nothing is too much trouble for ALL the staff, always a friendly smile and very polite.

The Rowes, June 2019

I would like to extend my appreciation to Belinda for arranging and coordinating our booking from start to finish with efficiency, politeness, professionalism and thoughtfulness at all times. I would also like to thank Vicki for her kindness and generosity during our stay at the Kalkan Regency and for sending the most stunning arrangement of flowers to me on my 60th birthday. I also need to extend my thanks to The Regency team – I cannot express how fabulously, and done with such generous hearts and enthusiasm, the hotel staff, including Dolunay, Mamma, and Andy, worked to create the most wonderfully romantic and fairy-tale setting in the garden at Leo overlooking the bay of Kalkan for my 60th birthday celebrations. I could not have wished for a more perfect and most memorable place to spend my birthday celebrations with my dearest family.

Debbie Budenberg, June 2019

Have used the facilities of the Kalkan Regency many times although this is only our second time staying. The hotel is truly excellent and the owners and their staff so very friendly and together appear to be one big happy family.

Simpson Traveller, June 2019

The team and family at the Kalkan Regency surpass themselves year after year. Our favourite place on the planet.

Andy & Murat, June 2019

First time using Simpson Travel and it will be the first choice when looking at our next holiday. A very good service by everyone. The Kalkan Regency was amazing and staff really do make you feel part of the family. I now know why it has so much return business. Loved it.

Dorrian, June 2019

Kalkan Regency Hotel has surpassed all others in efficiency, friendliness and sheer hard work, a family-run hotel, where nothing was too much trouble. It was our second visit and felt warmly embraced when we arrived late at night. A week later, we reluctantly had to leave, family all arrived to see us off, sad moment for us leaving, but already planning our next trip. We have never returned to the same place ever before, but Kalkan Regency and their wonderful family have a very special place, and the knowledge to look after it, and nurture everyone involved.

Julie & Jeff Dennis, June 2019

What a perfect find. The hotel was everything we could have wished for and everyone staying there were like-minded people (many returning over several years). The hotel staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more attentive and the Simpson reps couldn’t have been more helpful. Communication at all stages was very reassuring. Will be using Simpson again, but the Kalkan Regency has set the bar very high – do we go back or try something new?

Alan & Lesley Collins, June 2019

This was our third visit to the Kalkan Regency, we had an absolutely lovely time, we will probably go back next year. We have travelled to many countries, Kalkan and The Regency are second to none, would always recommend it.

Lynne & Graham Barber, June 2019

The overall experience with Simpson Travel was first class and would highly recommend them.

Michael & Jean Wood, June 2019

Couldn’t fault Simpson or the hotel and staff at the Kalkan Regency. Outstanding service in a beautiful hotel.

Susan Harrison, June 2019

Simpson is very lucky to have Vicki as their Operations Manager at the Kalkan Regency, she was excellent for all our requests. Simpson is also very lucky to have the Kalkan Regency within their portfolio.

John Moffatt, June 2019

We returned to the Kalkan Regency hotel for the second time, the reason being that it's hard to improve upon what is on offer! Great location and facilities, friendly staff, great food and service. What more could you ask for? I have no doubt that we will return at some point – it’s like going home!

Mrs Francis, June 2019

As usual The Kalkan Regency was as good as ever. Wonderful hotel and extremely friendly staff who cannot do enough to make your holiday perfect.

John Sharples, June 2019

This was our second holiday with Simpson Travel, plus we have another booked for later this year. We have and would recommend Simpson Travel for the quality of service and attention to detail.

David White, June 2019

I cannot speak highly enough of the Kalkan Regency or indeed of Vicki the Simpson rep. The consistency of service and attention to detail is exceptional. Vicki is professional and warmth personified and the Regency family wrap you in a blanket of sunshine and tranquillity. Sheer pampering from beginning to end.

Jan, June 2019

This is an excellent hotel which is very well run and all the staff were very helpful and polite. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Bob & Carol Foster, June 2019

Excellent hotel with extremely pleasant and helpful staff whose mission was to facilitate any request. The food was excellent. A stay is thoroughly recommended.

Grahame S, June 2019

The Kalkan Regency is an excellent family-run hotel with superbly attentive staff. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming and cheerful helping you feel very relaxed straight away. There is something for everyone here, great location for access to the town but secluded enough if you want to just switch off.

Eve Walshe, June 2019

The hotel was excellent as always. We love the hotel and its location. This time we particularly enjoyed the fresh cherries for breakfast and the sunset cruise.

Simpson Traveller, June 2019

Simpson Travel made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us – good personal service. We would certainly travel with Simpson again thanks to the personal touch and will go to them as our chosen provider. We are already planning our next trip.

Anne & Peter Steward, May 2019

We had an excellent holiday at the Kalkan Regency. The hotel was small enough that it was a very personal friendly experience and it managed to combine international standards with a Turkish ambience. Vicki, the representative, was there every breakfast to help sort out excursions and give helpful hints. She was such a lovely person. The gulet experience was a highlight of the holiday. A fun day out where everyone mixed and enjoyed swimming and seeing the sights. The Simpson service was first rate from beginning to end. We will definitely return to the Kalkan Regency.

Julie Humble, May 2019

Excellent experience as always with Simpson Travel. I recommend the company to everyone but in a way, I don’t want everyone to know about it!

Rachel, May 2019

The ownership, management, staff and location are the most excellent in the whole of Kalkan. The restaurant menus for lunch and dinner are of the highest quality. The theme nights at the hotel, Monday fish, Wednesday barbecue and Fridays spit roast are such fun. We enjoyed our experience so much we shall return and return and return!

Lawrence Dell, May 2019

The Kalkan Regency surpassed all our expectations! The friendliness of the staff and the overall ambience made it feel like a house party! The accommodation and in particular the beds were more comfortable than we could have hoped for. The Simpson service from start to finish was excellent, with great attention to detail throughout. We can’t wait to go back!

Mrs Heighes-Brown, May 2019

What can I say? The whole experience of The Kalkan Regency is second to none. Friendliness, service and excellent food. Got back Saturday and looking to book again later today for October.

Lapped by translucent blue water, Kalkan sits on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast: a cosmopolitan, vibrant resort perfect for exploring the timeless beauty of ancient Lycia's pine-clad shores. The pretty town centre is a treasure trove of narrow streets, whitewashed Ottoman Greek houses and inviting boutiques. It's also famous for its harbourside lounge bars and rooftop restaurants. Carved into the hillsides hovering just above the shore, Kalkan's beach clubs are a unique way to make the most of this spectacular coast, popular with all ages and a huge hit if you're on holiday with teenagers; stay in one of our villas and enjoy complimentary access to the Indigo Beach Club.

Our guests return to Kalkan year after year. To find out why, visit our collection of luxury villas and hotels and, if you book your Kalkan holiday with Simpson Travel, we'll also include a complimentary hamam experience and a day trip along the Turquoise Coast in a traditional wooden gület.
