A tranquil beach-side sanctuary set in beautiful gardens, with trees and flowers, free-ranging chickens, and very talkative frogs. Not the usual package resort, and all the better for that.
Breakfast and dinner on the beach is the absolute highlight. A perfect romantic setting, and food is of superb quality, fresh simple and delicious. Our room was clean, simple, quiet, functional, and comfortable. Staff are lovely, though some are young and not very experienced.
Tips: 1: if you take a ‘penthouse’ room, leave the A/C on low while you’re out so you don’t get a roasting on return.
2: at dinner it is a good idea to order drinks and bread as soon as you arrive, because on some nights food orders may take time to arrive and a few reminders… (I guess the staff are also inside the hotel’s ‘stress-free zone’) but patience is splendidly rewarded, so take the time to enjoy the gorgeous beach setting.
3: You’ll definitely need a car
4: Sea shoes will make you happy (shingle beach)

Staff, garden, beach and breakfast. That is about it. Facilities leave a lot to be desired. Cheap does not quite make up for ecological none sense.
Way too expensive for what it offers.

Yonca Lodge was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so attentive and kind. The beach is beautiful--we especially enjoyed watching the sailboats. Kids would love it, as they can choose between the pool and the sea. I loved eating outside, and the food was wonderful. My husband particularly appreciated the bartender. Many of the staff spoke English.

Wonderful peaceful place

We had the most wonderful stay here. There are only 14 rooms so it is never overcrowded. Rooms are simple but very comfortable with good bathroom, tv, tea and coffee facilities and complimentary toiletries. The most lovely , well tended gardens supply the kitchens. There are hens and chicks roaming around and a creek full of fish turtles and eels. A lovely pool to swim in.Then you come to the restaurant on the beach. A wonderful view of the sea and islands at every meal and if the weather is cool a glass summerhouse to eat in. Food is home cooked and there is complimentary afternoon tea every day.But best of all are the lovely lovely staff who cant do enough for you.

Amazing experience and food

We had an excellent experience at the Yonca Lodge. The staff are so nice and very accommodating. The pros for us were: amazing, fresh, food. The breakfast especially was something to look forward to, as well as the fresh fish for dinner. Location is so relaxing - on the beach, living among an incredible diversity of animals roaming free including chickens, roosters, frogs, cats, etc. The only cons were that we were there just before tourist season (mid-April), so the dinner menu was not elaborate. One other minor con was that there is a resort a few hundred meters away (club Majesty I believe) that played club music at night that we could hear in the distance. However, with earplugs it was fine to fall asleep. We would definitely recommend staying at the Yonca Lodge, and look forward to returning if we travel to the Fethiye area again in the future.

P.S. The google maps location of Yonca Lodge is currently incorrect, so the hotel is difficult to find if using this software to locate the hotel upon first arrival.

Better for those with cars. Bad comments by staff.

Beautiful setting and beautifully decorated rooms. However, I wouldn't recommend it for people without cars because it's far from Fethiye town, Oludeniz, Calis Beach etc. There are no restaurants or shops nearby.

Second, the shower was dangerously boiling hot. I burnt my hand testing the water.

Finally, I complimented the waitress on the breakfast and she replied, \"Be careful. You're getting fat!\" Shocking experience. I won't be coming back or recommending this place

Hotel Food for lunch and evening meals awful

The hotel rooms are good and clean,the bed comfortable.The gardens are beautiful.The pool is good and clean.The hotel has its own sandy beach with loungers underneath mulberry trees.To get to swim in the sea you have to cross a stretch of sharp stones so you need to have those rubber foot coverings otherwise it's a pain getting in and out of the sea.There is a pond full of terrapins,water snakes,thousands of frogs.And home to millions of mosquitoes which come out to bite at night so bring lots of protective sprays or cover up.300 yards either side of the hotel are two huge all inclusive hotels which start to play their rave music from 10pm through to the wee small hours of the morning so if you are a light sleeper you will need to keep your room windows closed.There is no little village that you can walk to in the evening for a drink in the local bars or choices of restaurants.You are stuck with the hotel food.The inclusive continental breakfast is brilliant, home made jams,fresh breads,eggs,salad,savory pastries,cereal, fresh fruit, nuts, juices.The lunch menu and evening menu read well but that's all that's good about it.We didn't try everything on the menu as we only stayed for a week but after the second day we wanted to go home! I had the set menu the first night, the 3 plate meze was okayish. the 3tiny fish by the time i picked all the bones out after 15minutes left me with 2spoonfuls of meat.Turkish pasta with cheese - boiled, fried pasta with 2spoonfuls of feta cheese

Loved location, good value,a few glitches,

This hotel has a great location, is charming, and the staff, particularly Danielle are great.

One thing they could improve is the food as the hotel is not real close to town. If you are interested in food, if that is important to you, and particularly turkish food,then take a cab or better yet donuts or bus into fetiye. They can probably do a burger and fries for you ok.

Great place to kayak, paddle board ,or swim from.

Nice location, but...

After a long drive and arriving in darkness we were welcomed by the friendly and accommodating staff who quickly got us to our room and onto a beach located restaurant table. Service and location of this hotel are great but I was surprised at the interior of the room which seemed more hostel than hotel, as did the 'restaurant'. Breakfast was adequate with hot resulting in boiled eggs only but again it was great to have a table on the beach. The hundreds of chickens and smattering of ducks and geese meandering around the gardens do add to the rustic nature of this B&B, which is more what it needs to be addressed as than a hotel even though it has full hotel facilities. It just needs a good scrub and smarten up all round to command the prices it seems to be getting. Also no fault of the hotel but the guests that place their towels etc on cabanas AND sun loungers whilst going for breakfasts and walks are really out of order. The smallness of this hotel adds to that - with only a few very well placed cabanas they are well sought after but this reserving whilst not using approach is so immature and belongs to those who have ot had much in life. To summarise, small B&B with a great out of the way location.

Friendly and so relaxing

A gorgeous, little, family run hotel on a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach. The rooms are fairly basic (but immaculate and good value for money), so I think 3 star is probably the right rating, but everything else was 5 star. The pool was great, the staff were wonderful, and the grounds beautifully maintained. We spent most days lounging in the pagodas on the beach, with an occasional trip into Gocek (where we picked up the 12 islands boat tour) and Fethiye (eating at the fish market is a must). Overall, a fabulous holiday that was everything we hoped for.

Great hotel for relaxing

Friendly staff, eager to please. Excellent food, wonderful large healthy breakfasts. Natural setting with fruit trees, grassy areas, pond... chickens and ducks wandering around but never 'in the way.' 8 sided glass building with wood stove, at the beach, for cool or windy days and evenings. Beach chairs, great for couples or families with small children. Enough space for privacy if you want time alone to relax.

Paradise

Yonca Lodge - If your looking for total relaxation in wonderful surroundings look no further.
My husband and I have just returned from spending 10 days at the Yonca Lodge, a beautiful oasis. This small hotel was rated 3* when we booked, but I feel it should be at least a 4*, it has some very nice touches from tea & coffee with a large kettle in your room, flannels in the spotlessly clean bathroom, along with the usual fridge,TV. The only thing not in our room was a safe but this didn't bother us. Another nice touch was they served afternoon tea every afternoon, cake and a savory along with as much tea or coffee you can drink - nice touch!
All the staff are very nice especially Danella, who makes sure your stay is stress free. Food very good and excellent value. Chickens, Ducks & Geese running around all day were very entertaining to watch. I could go on but suggest you try for yourself. We will definitely be returning to this little piece of paradise.

When we arrived at Yonca Lodge it was night, we were thrilled with our room. Waking up in the morning the sun was shining and the view was absolutely wonderful. A lovely place to eat on the beach but protected from the wind and warmed in the evening by a log burner. Loved it and would go back.

Otel genel itibariyle güzeldi ancak bazı hususları vurgulamak isterim. Öncelikle odalar temizdi fakat çarşaflar lekeli idi. Jakuzi için köpük deterjanı bulunmuyordu. Odalarda çok fazla böcek vardı ve sadece bir kapısında sineklik vardı. O da yırtılmıştı ve bu nedenle kapıyı kapalı tutmak zorunda kaldık. Diş fırçası ve macunu yoktu. Denize sıfırdı fakat plaj kumu kirliydi. Resepsiyon alanı genel olarak boş yani personel nadir bulunuyor. Kahvaltı çeşidi azdı ve lezzetsiz ürünler vardı. Serpme kahvaltı olsaydı iyi olurdu. Personeller genel olarak güler yüzlü ve yardımseverdi. Otelin huzur verici bir ortamı vardı.

Idéal pour un voyage solo

J’ai choisi le Yonca Lodge pour mon voyage solo et ce fut une excellente décision.

Ma chambre offrait une double vue, à la fois sur la piscine et sur la mer, ce qui rendait l’expérience particulièrement agréable. La literie était très confortable et le minibar, bien garni de boissons rafraîchissantes et de snacks, a été un vrai plus.

Le jacuzzi/spa inclus avec la chambre était simple d’utilisation, relaxant et agréable grâce aux options de massage du dos. La plage de l’hôtel est superbe, équipée de transats modernes avec coussins ainsi que de modèles plus classiques. Le restaurant, installé directement sur la plage, permet de savourer son petit déjeuner face à la mer ou de dîner au coucher du soleil : un moment vraiment magique.

Grâce à la gentillesse du staff, j’ai pu profiter des installations même après avoir rendu ma chambre à 11h : transats, plage et bar. J’y ai dégusté un cocktail sans alcool en admirant le coucher de soleil avant de partir à l’aéroport pour mon vol.

Je remercie chaleureusement toute l’équipe du Yonca Lodge, aussi bien à la réception qu’au restaurant, pour leur accueil, leur disponibilité et leur attention constante.

Le Yonca Lodge est, selon moi, l’hôtel parfait pour les voyageurs solo en quête de calme et de confort, dans un cadre naturel unique. Sa petite taille et son nombre limité de clients créent une atmosphère intime et conviviale, avec un service toujours aux petits soins.

For de som ikke er så gode svømmere, kan det være vanskelig å bade i sjøen. Det er bølger og brådypt! Bassenget er imidlertid veldig fint. Vi koste oss veldig der! Anbefales!

Otelin konumu çok güzel. Denize sıfır. Ama denizi dalgalı ve taşlık. Oda genel olarak guzeldi. Ama yatağımızda minik karıncalar vardı. Odada çay kahve ikramı vardı ama kettle yoktu. Buzdolabı vardı ama çalışmıyordu. Ilgili kişiye bildirdik kettle ve dolabı, ilgileneceklerini söyledi. Ama ertesi gün saat 2 oldu ama arayan olmadı. Hotels den karşılama puanı düşük verince yarım saat gecmeden aradılar. Kettle bozulmuş ve dolabın da kartı yanmış dendi. Odamızı değiştirmeyi teklif ettiler ama saat nerdeyse 4 olmus, ertesi günü çıkış yapacağız , bize oda değiştirelim diyorlar. Değiştirmedik tabi,en azından kettle ı odaya bırakın dedikte bıraktılar. Bunların dışında restaurant kısmı başarılıydı. Güler yüzlü, hızlı hizmet, lezzetli tatlar uygun fiyatlar. Oldukça begendik. Otel genel olarak baktığımızda 3,5tan 4 olur ancak.

Patili çocuklarla 3-4 gün kafa dinlemek ve rahatlamak için güzel bir seçenek, rahatça dolaşıp oynayabileceği bolca yeşil alan olması çok güzeldi. Çalışanlar oldukça ilgiliydi. Süperior odada kaldık ferah bir oda. Çoğunlukla ahşap kullanılmış o yüzden yoğun bir kokusu vardı konaklama boyunca. Bu yüzden eşyalarımı dolaba yerleştirmedim kokusu sinebilir diye.Belki oda/dolap kokusu ya da daha farklı ahşap boyası kullanarak bu durumu çözebilirler.
