The hotel rooms were a bit outdated, and the service provided was lacking. However, the ocean was absolutely stunning. Since we visited towards the end of the season, there were fewer people, and at times the water was chilly, but it remained quite clean. As you enter the sea, it initially deepens, but as you venture further, you'll notice it becomes shallower and the sand becomes more prevalent. Before heading to the beach, remember to bring your swim goggles as there are adorable fish swimming around your feet and following you (they are harmless and won't bite, and if you approach them, they will swim away but come back to investigate you again). Moreover, the hotel is conveniently located near the westernmost point of Turkey.
Overall, we visited Gökçeada this year with our relatives, a place I've been to many times before. It was a special experience to finally enter the facility that I always pass by. The beach is truly stunning, without a doubt. The food was decent, although it could have been better. My relatives, who I spent the holiday with, mentioned that it was much better in the past, and I believe the increase in prices has affected its tourism. The facility was constructed above the average standards of Gökçeada, but it should definitely be renovated. That beach truly deserves it. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Reception Emre and especially Mr. Süleyman, the director of the institution, who even retrieved our boat that had drifted away into the sea without any delay. In summary, for Gökçeada, which has become a yearly tradition for us, I would consider extending my stay if the prices were a bit more reasonable from now on. However, it is crucial that the infrastructure and hygiene are overhauled. Having well-maintained and clean wet floors is of utmost importance. It is essential to have a zinc pill with you for every holiday.

The beach is absolutely incredible, and the beach restaurant serves delicious food.
The beach here is the highlight, with its truly incredible water. The services are decent, but if you're seeking an escape from the city and all its noise to simply bask in the beauty of the beach, I highly recommend this place. However, if luxury is what you're after, this may not be the best choice. The only downside is the journey, especially if you opt for a bus ride, as it can be quite lengthy and exhausting.
