Catagory 4 Family Room

We chose a catagory 4 Family Rooom in the Village section of Lykia World for our accomodation, initially they had put us on the 3rd floor but we asked if we could have a ground floor room and this was happily changed for us without any hesitation.

We were put in K block, which stands for Kekova. We were in the middle block of Kekova, so although it was a bit of a walk to the main village area it really wasn't at all very far, aprox 5 min walk. The furthest village rooms were the next lot of Kekova rooms, nearer the Archery or the Garden rooms which I'm certainly glad we weren't in as they were the furthest from anything except the Sofra (Turkish) Restaurant.


The main bedroom was accessed through a door from the hall way & consited of a large bedroom with a huge bed & lovely sized head board, tv, mini bar / fridge, 2 wine glasses & 2 standard glasses, massive mirror over the good sized dressing table, bedside tables, you then step down to a lounge area with a sofa & coffee table with patio doors to the terrace and 2 windows.

I had read reviews that the bed was 2 singles put together but we couldn't see or feel a seam at all. It ceratinly was the size of 2 singles and the sheet & top cover on the bed were 2 singles which was at first a little strange as we are used to a king sized duvet but it was actually quite nice not having Hubby take all the cover for a change as we each had our own! lol

The children's bedroom was accessed from the hall way and wasn't accessed through a door. It had 2 single beds in, a dressing table, coffee table and a large sliding door to the patio with another sliding netted door to enable the main door to stay open but the insects to stay out if need be.

The terraced area had a wall hanger on to dry clothes / towels, a plastic table & chairs and an outdoor light. This area was acccessed by both bedrooms and the view from the terrace and both bedrooms was amazing! Iniatially you have a lawned area with a path going through it to access the other blocks.

All the rooms seemed to have a sea view by the way the accomodation blocks were built at an angle and on the mountain so which meant although we had the S Block (Simena Rooms) in front of us, we still had a lovely sea view even on the ground floor as our block was higher up and looked right over the Simena rooms. Friends we met over there had a room in the Simena block which was located along the beach front but they were woken frequently by the sound of the waves / sea breaking on the shore.

There was also a bathroom accessed from the hall way, with a huge shower cubicle with a frosted glass panel to the main bedroom, there was a standard wall shower & an over head ceiling shower with plenty of room for our whole family to shower in at the same time.......which was often quite fun for the children!

The sink was large & mounted in a full length unit which had plenty of space for all your toiletries & more! There was a huge mirror, wall mounted hair dryer, glasses, shower cap & plenty of white hand towels & bath towels (even big enough to fit around me & I'm a size 22!) Leave them on the floor and the cleaners will change them daily otherwise hang them up to be re-used to save water.

The toilet room was situated one side of the sink area & the shower on the other. There's a fan in both the toilet room & the shower cubicle which comes on automatically when the light to those rooms are turned on.

There was plenty of storage space within each room, the walk in wardrobe (accessed from the hall way) was amazing & Hubby now has to build one of those at home!! lol It had about 20+ durable plastic hangers in there but as we bought all of our children's clothes on hangers with us we had plenty. There were 3 sections of hanging space, 3 sets of drawers, plenty of room for our 4 large suitcases & hand luggage in there too so it was all out of view whilst we were on holiday. The safe is also located in here which you need to get the key to from reception, this is free unless you lose it which is then charged at 5 Euros if lost.

There were about 5 tv channels in English, not that we watched much tv. These included BBC Prime, NBC News, BBC Worldwide News, plus a couple of foreign channels always seemed to show English / American films with forign subtitles which was handy for us! lol

The rooms were clean, modern, nicely decorated, spacious & the temperature in them was fine. Not too hot & not too cold........just right as we had never complained about that once! Nor did we ever hear the family above us which was good, only a few people shouting / singing in passing if we had the window / door open.

So I would definately recommend this type of room to a family with 2 small children. For a family with 3 small children, although the sofa in the main bedroom can be turned into another bed, I preferably would want the children in another room (wink, wink) but I wouldn't say there was enough room in the children's bedroom for another bed without losing the access from their room to the terrace area as you could easily move the sofa mattress to the floor or put up a cot in the other room for night times.

The only downside was that the light outside, which stayed on all night shone through the toilet window which then shone through the glass shower door & the frosted glass shower pane into our bedroom so we just covered the small toilet window every night with one of the towels which solved the problem.

As we had read numerous reviews beforehand, they had no tea / coffee making facility in the rooms so we took our own Mugs, Teaspoon, Coffee, Tea, Sugar & Travel Kettle as we lik our cuppa before bed & as soon as we get up. We sneakily filled a small bottle with milk the first couple of evenings & bought milk when we went into Olu Deniz for the rest of the holiday. Ideally Lykia World could do with coffee & tea making facilities in the rooms but that's only my personal preference I guess.
