Reges, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Cesme

Location: The hotel is praised for its beautiful oceanfront location, offering stunning sea views from most rooms.

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.
