Reges, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Cesme

Absolutely loved our stay at Reges Çeşme! Huge thanks to miss Sibel Tunç for the wonderful service. Swim-up room = perfection, gorgeous beach, and a breakfast to remember!

This is a very nice hotel with a great view (can't do much about the wind of course). The staff is nice and tries hard. I think it is a perfect size for a hotel. Our room was beautiful with a full view of the sea and the pools. The beach is nice and the sand entering the water is soft. The pools are comfortable. The breakfast was included and the buffet was quite good. The exercise facilities get a pass. There are a few areas where they could do better. The main is issue is the prices at the restaurant and particularly wine which is seriously outrageous. We ended up getting wine at the local market for 10% of what they were charging and bringing it back to the room. My wife took to saying, "We could have a good meal in town or a glass of wine at the hotel." The food charges were also quite ridiculous though not so far out of the cost within town once the tourist mark up is applied. The phone in our room never worked to get service so we had to uses Whatsapp to communicate and it was not quickly monitored. I would also check where they park you car with the valet as our rental was covered with tree sap when we got back. Still, I really liked the stay and would go back now that I know the tricks to making it work.

We visited this property on the day it opened, I assume for the season. So we noticed there were issues with some of the parts of the hotel, like the Hamaam and showers in the spa not having hot water, the steam room not working and a few other hiccups like the heated pool not yet being heated. Apart from that the property is superb. The advantage of it being on opening day was the beach on the day was empty and we felt that we had the place to ourselves. We were well looked after in the rooms, there was a bit of an upgrade due to being a Titanium member. Breakfast was amazing. Prices for the spa and the restaurant are massively overpriced though, but it’s in line with the quality of the hotel. Be prepared for it. I would definitely recommend this hotel
