Convenient Location Near Airport, But Serious Safety and Comfort Concerns
I stayed at GK Mediterranean Village – Airport Shuttle for two nights, June 17–18, 2025. While the location and basic amenities were convenient, several issues made the stay uncomfortable and raised safety concerns that future travelers should be aware of — and which I hope the property owners take seriously.
Pros:
Excellent proximity to the airport (about a 10-minute drive)
Free airport pickup, which was on time and appreciated
Room was clean upon arrival
Strong air conditioning
A pleasant coffee shop just a block away
Restaurants are within a 10-minute walk
WiFi worked well throughout the stay
Cons:
No elevator and no warning provided when booking. Our room was on the 2nd floor, up a steep staircase, with no ramp or lift — very difficult to manage with two large suitcases after a long international trip.
Overly complicated key situation:
A code is required to open a lockbox to retrieve the room key
Separate keys for the front gate, main building, room, and room lock
Key is required to exit the room, the building, and the front gate — which presents a serious fire and safety hazard
No smoke detectors in the room, adding to the safety concern
Shower water temperature extremely hot, with no anti-scald protection
No bottled water provided — only local tap water
The bed was extremely firm, beyond what most travelers would consider comfortable
No phone in the room, and no reception on site
