Horizon (formerly Nur) Apartments: Daybreak

Change over day: Flexible

• Thank you for your patience and understanding this year and for helping to arrange a well earned holiday in your fantastic Nur Aprtments - Daybreak.
  It was as hoped, fantastic, spotlessly clean and modern apartment, great location and outstanding pool area.
  The Daybreak was fantastic with the double balcony so guaranteed sun/shade as required.
  Again we cannot thank you enough for all your help this year and wish you the best for the future.
  We’re torn between telling everyone about the amazing Nur Apartments or keeping it a secret!?
  We will definitely be back, thanks.

• Our stay at the Daybreak Apartment was first class - everything we could have hoped for. The apartment was actually larger than we anticipated, spotlessly clean, with two large balconies. Although the pool was advertised as shared, most of the time we used it we were on our own.
  
  The location is perfect, just a few metres from the main road out of town and just a leisurely 5 minute stroll to the Old Town. Maintenance /Cleaning was excellent and when we asked for a slightly later check out, this was readily agreed.
  We would certainly recommend the apartments and intend to be back ourselves. Thanks to all who made our stay so memorable.

• My family and I stayed in the Daybreak apartment from the 27th of July for 2 weeks. The apartments are in a great location close to the old town, supermarkets, bars, and restaurants. The apartment is large and airy with all mod cons. From the balcony, we had great views of the town and bay. The pool is large and even though it was peak season it was very quiet and relaxing. The apartment and pool area were well looked after by the staff and they were always on hand if we needed them. We are looking forward to returning to the Nur apartments next year.

• We stayed in Daybreak for 10 nights from 30 June 17. Had a fantastic holiday. Apartment had everything you could want. Pool was inviting and large and comfortable sunbeds. Booking was easy, arrival arrangements were spot on and we were looked after on the day of leaving. A great service. Would recommend the apartments and kalkan secrets. Thanks for a great time in a great holiday destination.

• We stayed at the Nur apartments in August 2015. We were a party of eleven total; four in Daybreak, four in Dusk and three of us in Sunrise.
  
  The apartments were very clean and well-appointed and during our fortnight the apartments were re-cleaned and our bed linen and bath/hand towels were replaced. It is worth noting that beach towels are also provided (and changed) during your stay – saving considerably on your luggage allowance. As does the provision of a washing machine, if you were going for a week you could almost get away with hand baggage – toiletries being cheap enough to buy in the supermarket that’s two minutes’ walk away.
  
  We probably split our eating in and eating out pretty evenly. There are lots of good, and good value restaurants in Kalkan but if you want to self-cater then the apartments are well enough equipped that you can without having to compromise; gas hob, microwave, electric oven and all the utensils you would commonly need. Even the cutlery matched…!
  
  Although we were eleven, and there were other parties staying at Nur there was never any issue with either sunbeds or space around the pool which is larger than you would expect for ‘just’ apartments. The pool and its surround were always clean and tidy.
  
  The apartments are about 10-15 minutes uphill from Kalkan old-town and harbour (downhill is much quicker!) and you would probably be best to avoid a midday return uphill, but in the evenings after dinner it was never an issue and we had a seven year old with us…
  
  The arranged transfers to and from Dalaman airport were painless, and between eleven the cost was very reasonable given it is 75-90 minutes.
  
  In summary, Kalkan is very pretty, the apartments are value for money, spotless, well-appointed, nicely located, well looked after and have a great pool. We would not hesitate to recommend them to couples, families or indeed larger groups such as ours.

• Superbly appointed apartment with everything you need. Perched slightly higher on the hill with two sun soaked balconies with views, both with good shade which you will need. The pool is large and hardly ever more than a couple of other people using it. We mostly went to one of the beaches in the day, but a dip in the pool at the end of the day was welcome. Martin and Fiona are very helpful, meeting us late on arrival and will help you with any requests.
  Will be back I am sure, Kalkan was beautiful with lots of restaurants and near to ruins, mountains and beaches. This apartment was a perfect base.

• Comfortable, cosy and a lovely home from home. Literally everything had been thought of and was in the apartment for our use. From owners to housekeepers, everything was great. We enjoyed our stay in Kalkan so much.

• We like to use apartments rather than villas as long as the pool is large and the usage is small - in other words we like peace and quiet and the feeling of exclusivity and this was certainly the case with Daybreak. Martyn and Fiona could not have been more welcoming but not intrusive. Their attention to detail and cleanliness in the apartment could not be faulted. The top terrace is amazing - dining with views out to sea one way and the lovely wooden canopy and views of town and the bay from the other - especially enjoyed our Pimms there before enjoying the vast choice of restaurants Kalkan offers. Our party had plenty of space - two couples in the bedrooms, and two teenage girls on very large and comfy sofa beds with lots of space for their clutter. It was truly relaxing - the teens enjoyed late returns from the club, we enjoyed early trips on the dolmus to Xanthos and Kas and 3 days car hire gave us sufficient time to enjoy other sites, trout restaurant atIslamlar for lovely peaceful lunch, Saklikent Gorge (glad we arrived at 10 as crowded on way back down). A very big thank you to Martyn and Fiona for a wonderful holiday ticking all the boxes for a family with teenagers - on our own we would come back out of season!

• We were really impressed with all aspects of the holiday from booking to transfers to the accommodation. Fiona and Martin were great to deal with. They booked fantastic transfers for us and met us at the apartment even though we arrived after midnight. The apartment was really clean with excellent new bedding and towels.
  We had loads of space and enjoyed the top floor location. Two balconies and large kitchen and lounge gave us plenty of space. We had a problem with an air con unit which was dealt with swiftly and Fiona cleaned our apartment and changed the beds to make up for it. The pool area was gorgeous..really clean and well looked after..and a good breeze to cool down and plenty of shade.
  We loved Kalkan..great people..no hassle..excellent food at all the places we tried and plenty of real little shops for everything from groceries to jewellery.
  The Market was excellent..went on all day..and we tried a boat trip on the Sea bella. Friendly family run..excellent food and nice people.
  We'd love to go back and would definitely stay there again.

• Staying as a family, we rented Daybreak (spacious, with two bedrooms, two ensuites and two balconies) and Sunset (very good size) for a week. The self catering apartments had all the equipment we needed (apart from the men would have liked access to a TV for updates on news/sports, but wifi was installed whilst we were there which helped). The location was perfect - close to supermarkets, restaurants (of which there were plenty), the harbour, Thursday market and bus terminal. The walk to the harbour/restaurants etc. is a short walk down and an incline back. Returning to the lovely pool at the end of each day was welcomed, many times our family had the pool to ourselves. The English owners Martyn and Fiona were knowledgable of the local area and we were entertained by Martin on the guitair twice in the Hotel bar. The owners arranged the transfers from/to Dalaman airport for us at an additional cost at a better rate than using a taxi from the airport. We flew from Stansted, please note even though our second leg was a domestic flight from Istanbul, we were bused to the international terminal for baggage collection. We have no hesitation in recommending Kalkan Secrets to our friends and family.

• Did a lot of research before deciding on this accommodation and we got exactly what we thought.. Excellent location, well maintained, comfortable apartments which suited my wife and I and my elderly mother. Close enough to all the shops and restaurants of the resort for all 3 of us to be able to walk to them. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We were in the top floor "Daybreak" apartment which afforded excellent 360 degree views, also the layout and size of the apartment meant that we could have our own space and privacy from my mother if required. We would definitely recommend the "Atlantis Wellbeing Centre" based in the shopping centre across the road from the apartments, we had a Turkish bath there on our first night in the resort which really relaxed us in preparation to enjoy our holiday.
