Happy Hotel Review

From the hotel's panoramic hillside terrace, enormous enough to accommodate the heated half-Olympic-size pool, the Happy (formerly the Harpy) takes full advantage of the breathtaking views of Kalamar Bay. The trade-off? The main structure is a dull glass-and-cement monster that offends its more traditional surroundings through an attempt toward innovation. Still, you'll have your back to the hotel most of the time anyway. The 50 rooms and suites are divided among 6 pastel-pink blocks, all with a private exterior access, and all but four rooms have a sea view, thanks to large sliding-glass doors to the terrace or balcony. Room decor is a bit 1950s, with functional taupes and hunter-green furnishings and straightforward modular furniture. Hotel facilities include a game room, hotel cinema, business center w/secretarial services, and mini market, and there are (scheduled) shuttles into Kalkan as well as a beach drop-off service (free on request).

Facilities:
Restaurant; 3 bars; babysitting; children's playground; exercise room; outdoor pool; room service

About Our System

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.
