Ada Hotel ReviewFashioned like a stately country villa, this Relais & Châteaux hotel was built from the ground up on a scrubby tract of land at the top of Türkbükü before anybody knew where the bay was. Using the elements of classic Ottoman design, they incorporated such features as hand-carved stonework, outdoor living spaces, and thick stone walls. The rooms are huge and luxuriously rustic, and bathrooms are embellished with plush towels (on warmers), candles, and potpourri. Although the property has no access to the bay, the luxuriant grounds -- caressed by the swaying of reed plants in the breeze -- along with amenities you never thought you'd need, keep your mind elsewhere. The regal hamam, reserved by the hour for private use, enjoys views of the bay via a picture window. Two of the suites share private use of an additional terrace pool. A cinema screening room provides a large selection of films and keeps young ones occupied with a huge video-game station. And the cellar restaurant, with its velours, chandeliers, stone, and ancient wood, could easily set the stage for a scene for Camelot. Ultimately, the Ada Hotel is in a class all itself.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
