Karbel Beach Hotel

We stayed at the end of October and had a wonderful time, our room was clean and had a garden view, we arrived early hours of the morning and the staff although we arrived at 04:00am could not do enough for us and made us very welcome. At breakfast the restaurant manager would ensure we was looked after and cooked us fried eggs or omelettes and he cooked a great pancake, there was a good selection of cold meats, cheese, bread drinks etc.. the same for dinner a good selection of food and we was looked after by the restaurant manager and the young man called Salman was lovely and helpful. The hotel itself was clean and all staff were friendly. It was in a great location where everything is easily accessible. We would stay here again, the whole family had a really great holiday.

I would echo people who say don’t trust the bad reviews Ok the evening meal was not a restaurant but you got a good choice the salads were good as were the sweets. The breakfasts were good they would cook you a fresh fryed eggs omelette pancakes with all the acouments available jam toast salad too much to mention. The rooms were good clean and cleaned by very polite staff who were all very friendly in the hotel. Having said that all the people were very friendly and helpful even a gentleman who would put you on the right bus and give you times to make sure you came back We did not pay a lot of money to stay there and I do mean not a lot. You would be in the company of people who would have been there time and time again and in the same year

We stayed here as a family of 4 in the first week of August. We didn't have the best start to our holiday as the Tui transfer was awful. Our bus was too large so we had to do a 5 minute walk down the ***** on our own with our suitcases, not having a clue where we were going. We finally arrived at the Karbel Beach just after midnight. Check in was quick, but we were disappointed that our 2 rooms were in 2 different blocks. Luckily our 2 sensible teenage boys are old enough to look after themselves but this could clearly be an issue for families with younger children. Our rooms were clean and we had balconies which overlooked the pool. The Housekeeping ladies were lovely, ours made us swan towels on our beds when she came in to do the daily clean. The ladies on reception were helpful and Turcan, Berkay and Ufuk at the bar were brilliant. The location is great, just off the ***** and a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Plenty of good restaurants nearby and the Babadağ cable car, Hisaronu and Fethiye are easy to get to by bus or taxi. Food here is traditional Turkish, it was laid out nicely, there was plenty of choice and it was good. Perfect for us. The lunchtime snack bar also had plenty of choice at reasonable prices. Plenty of sunbeds to go around and the pool was nice. However, when a large family group decided to get in and play with a football, they made it very unpleasant for anyone else in the pool. When the ball games then moved to the bar area, the staff were quick to stop it. We would stay here again. Thank you Karbel Beach for a wonderful holiday!

Ok, this is not a 5 star hotel and the price reflects that. But for the money it's well worth it. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, as was the rest of the hotel. It's a 3 min walk to the beach or if you don't fancy that, the pool is great. The food was very nice in the evenings, but there are so many places to eat out you can treat yourself if you prefer. Breakfasts were not great, probably the biggest negative. We had a room that was below the main floor level of the pool and bar etc, so no view, and a balcony on the floor, isn't really a balcony!! But we only used it for sleeping so it didn't matter to us. So in summary; FOR THE MONEY, this is a great hotel in a fantastic location in a wonderful part of a wonderful country.

We were at this hotel just short of two weeks ago and it’s horrendous, we really beat ourselves up after arriving there we didn’t read the bad reviews before going because trust me BELIEVE THEM! Let’s start when we arrived, we paid for a double room as a couple but got put into a twin, where we had to slide the single beds together and usually we wouldn’t mind this if there were no other rooms available but after asking for 2 nights straight to change our rooms, we were told it would get sorted the next day and heard nothing back, to then find out during the last day of our stay the domestics were airing out rooms and the room next to us was a double bed and it was empty our whole stay!! Bearing in mind the hotel wasn’t busy at all, I’d say 10 people at most! The room was absolutely filthy on our arrival, I will attach photographs of how we got the room given, it was SHOCKING! and the stinky drains🤢 plug sockets hanging off walls, shower disgusting, mould on ceiling, hair all over, sink didn’t even fit!! And so much more you will see When we first got shown to our room the door handle fell off the lad showing us to our room just said ‘ahh it’s alright’ and put it back on like it wasn’t broken! There was no cleaning service, not once did anyone come clean our room during our 7 nights there or change bedding or even the towels, we had to buy a towel to use!! Never mind having to go out and hunt for loo roll in hope to find a domestic had hung a bag of toilet roll on a balcony somewhere! I had to ask for 5 days to get a thicker duvet and just had eyes rolled at me, we only got given top sheets and while it’s lovely during the day in October it can get quite cool on a night time and I was freezing! The staff are completely rude, if you asked for anything they’d just speak to eachother in Turkish before even acknowledging you! No people skills what so ever! We met a lovely couple on our time away and we were sat out on the chairs next to bar, at about 12 a staff member come out and turned our lights off! All of them!! We weren’t doing anything wrong not even drinking, just having a good chat, the only thing we can think of it’s because we didn’t buy from the bar as the following day there were people out there drinking and putting money into the bar they didn’t switch nothing off!! Till early hours! Don’t even get me started on the views out our balcony, if you’ve watched imbetweeners I don’t have to say much more about the pictures I will attach! The staff barely spoke to anyone put a downer on the whole holiday on smiled when spoke to eachother or when you were paying hoping for a tip! The food is vile! Don’t waste your money paying half board as you won’t want to eat it, the eggs were made snotty and made us ill! And we watched the chef scratch his bottom, pick his nose and without washing his hands went back to serving food! That’s disgusting 🤮 Overall, save your money there is many more hotels surrounding this one with much better
