Turkish Beach Towel, Highly Absorbent Kikoy Wrap Made of Cotton Fouta and Terry Cloth, Lightweight Turkish Bath Sheet for Beach, Pool, and Boats, Slate

Finally. Mrs. Santa read my letter.My life hack rule #18: Never. Ever. Check a bag. As someone who travels light, I have priorities when packing for the beach. The last thing I want is for a bulky beach terry towel to take up room in my bag. It's precious room for sunscreen, wine, iPad, and my cover up.What if there was an incredibly compact, absorbent, luxe, and chic looking beach towel? What if sand didn't stick to it the same way it sticks to your regular beach towels?Ta-da! Bahari Towel to the rescue. I follow a lot of fashion bloggers, and they always have an effortless and chic style that I just can't replicate. My first reaction when I received this towel was that it looks effortlessly chic. Haha! Score!So let's start with the actual review details you're looking for.Shipping: After ordering, this towel arrived in two days, faster than anticipated. Thanks, Amazon!Packaging: small Amazon box with the towel snugly rolled up. I imagine maybe a blind Bahari nun rolled the towel up and tied twine around it with care.Product: okay, so my first reaction was all about looks. I want to look good carrying it or laying on top of it. This was a gift to me in anticipation of a Costa Rica trip I have coming up, and of course, it's now time to pre-buy all my pool and beach necessities. This towel was my first purchase. It looked effortlessly chic. I ordered the pink. The color isn't as vibrant as what is pictured, but I see that as a plus. It looks premium.The towel is the right size and weight- big beach towel but still lightweight.Ummm... I didn't pay attention to the product description, so I got a delightful surprise. There is a cute hidden pocket inside!It's plush without being fat. I have sensitive skin so am really picky about what kind of sheets, towels, etc. that I have against my skin.I like both sides of this towel and see it as reversible.Usage: Besides making a beach/pool towel, I am going to use this as a yoga mat and gym towel (not on the same gym trip though- gross!). Super portable. I can't wait to roll it up and pack it in my carry on for my trip to Costa Rica.

This towel is wonderful! It’s beautifully designed, the fabric is soft and dries quickly. On top of that it has a little compartment for your mobile and keys. I used it at the beach and at the park and it has retained its color after washing. It is definitely worth its price.

Would have gone with a standard turkish towel if I had realized how much of a pain the terry liner would be. It drags on wet skin, and bunches up away from the towel "base", which is actually quite excellent. I'll probably end up cutting off the terry part, and end up where I should have started out.

I really dislike writing bad reviews but, this towel does not feel like 100% turkish cotton or even regular cotton. More like a cotton/poly blend. It was also supposed to be 72in long and as you can see from my pictures they're almost a foot short. They are not soft at all. I have a few turkish towels which I love and 2 with the Terry backing but they are only about 63" long and was hoping for something longer. These towels in my opinion are definitely not worth the price. I received them today and are going to be returned tomorrow.

Two separate pieces of fabric sewn on the outside edges only. Towel does not lie flat once washed. Considering the excessive cost, the quality is very poor. Will never buy again.

This towel is great! It is really big which is nice because my daughter and I can both sit on it very comfortably, but it is also super compact - I can roll it up and fit it in my diaper bag which is amazing! I've used it as a beach towel and also as a picnic blanket any time I am on the go and need a clean comfy place to feed the baby. Beautiful design, washes well, and the pocket is a GREAT feature - especially at the beach!

We just received our Beach towel and can't write enough about how happy we are with it. Haven't had a chance to use it at the pool. But it's super attractive, wonderfully soft and at this price need to buy a few more! For my wife and I, it was the right price as it was discounted when we found it on Amazon. We will buy a few more to have for guests etc, thank you!!!!

The towels are very nice.Good construction. Nice fabric.Note! The colors bleed on first wash, which is likely my fault because I didn't use COLD water.(They still look good, a little blue.)
