My wife and I choose Turkey, namely the Aegean coast, since the resorts there are designed for Europe, and not for drunken Tagil. The service there is better, you feel like a guest, and not a "body" from which you need to cheat money))) But the prices are correspondingly higher. This time we chose Oludeniz because my wife wanted to go paragliding.

My wife and I choose Turkey, namely the Aegean coast, since the resorts there are designed for Europe, and not for drunken Tagil. The service there is better, you feel like a guest, and not a "body" from which you need to cheat money))) But the prices are correspondingly higher. This time we chose Oludeniz because my wife wanted to go paragliding.
We chose the hotel for a long time, there were several options, but in terms of price-quality ratio and proximity to the sea, Karbel turned out. Naturally, we were embarrassed by the negative reviews, but we decided to take a chance, and... DID NOT REGRET!! ! I will tell right away to everyone who writes, various nonsense like "there were no yogurts for breakfast at all, there were no steaks either, and there was no three-room suite, and shrimp with seafood too... " Hello, dear, you saw WHAT you bought and WHERE did you go?? ? Maybe you need to be a little easier and understand that for such a price there will simply NOT be lobsters and pineapples with black caviar at this resort. Humble yourself, or go to Hyatts, Rixos, etc.
Let's get back to our trip. We arrived at the hotel at about 6 am, settled immediately ("hello" to all those who angrily wrote that they were "marinated" at the reception from morning to 2 pm, and only then settled). The bracelets were put on right away, the number was given in those very basements. The number was 1002. The bracelets were fabric, I saw them for the first time. The room itself is small, but quite comfortable and clean. TV and air conditioning worked. An interesting feature - the conder worked only when the balcony was closed. On TV - a bunch of channels, most Turkish, 3 Russian propaganda, 1 Ukrainian Christian and r+g. But we didn't come here to watch TV)))
Territory. It is small, but this is even a plus, since the pool and restaurant are within walking distance. There are only 2 pools (or rather, 3, but one of them is a paddling pool 40 cm deep, so it doesn’t count), but everyone was on the main pool.
Animation. I never paid attention to it, but in fact there was water polo and billiards during the day, in the evening after dinner - a children's disco and karaoke.
Food. The food was quite tolerable. I will not be like those who write "you will not stay hungry", but rather I will write in more detail. I must say right away that the staff is friendly, always imposes as much as you say, and always with a smile.
Breakfast - everything is simple there, along the wall behind the showcases are cheeses, olives, dried apricots, watermelons, vegetables. Plus a separate table with muesli. Tea-coffee is a separate permanent location. There was some other goodness. There are 2 zones, each with 4 different dishes. What was there - boiled eggs, omelets, "fried eggs", fries, onion rings, nuggets, fried sausages.
Dinner. A location along the wall is available, like at breakfast, only there are already salads and separately different vegetables. In two separate areas - always different types of meat, side dishes - potatoes, pasta, rice, steamed vegetables, different sauté ed dishes, etc.
Dinner. It's an upgrade lunch. Delicious turkey steaks, many side dishes, fish, beef with and without vegetables, plus a lot of sweets, fruits and vegetables.
SEPARATELY - salads. They were all fresh and tasty, not to be confused with Egypt)))
A snack bar is open near the pool from 12 to 16. What they give there is burgers (you collect it yourself - cutlet, bun, lettuce, pickled cucumbers, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, etc. ), plus fries and chicken legs . In a good way, you don’t have to go to the main restaurant for lunch. And from 16.00 - everyone is given ice cream))) And not our ice cream, but their dondurma! Took 1 time - interesting, unusual and quite tasty.
The overall verdict on food is over, given the category of the hotel and the resort itself.
ALCOHOL. Efes beer is our everything))) it’s not a badyag, they pour it into plastic glasses at 0.5 each (in the evening into glass at 0.33 each), take at least 1, at least 10. Strong alcohol - whiskey stinks of bugs, it’s impossible to drink, rum is quite for itself, with cola will roll, gin - very good, if with tonic. By the way, you take a beer and travel freely with a glass throughout the hotel (and on the sunbeds by the pool too). If anything - you take it to your room, and in the morning you take out empty glasses and put them on special coasters.
SAFETY and COVID. At the entrance to the hotel, the luggage was processed, containers with a sanitizer hang everywhere, plus small tubes on every table in the pool bar area. Masks were worn only when entering shops.
INFRASTRUCTURE. The central street is full of mini-markets, shops with souvenirs and cafes. I've rated several stores that openly sell "branded" clothing. Who will be in this hotel - the cheapest market is "SOK". He is nearby. We leave the hotel - turn left (there will be a Unicorn market opposite, we don't need it), go to the other side and walk 300 meters (approximately).
PRICES. Prices are high, as the resort is designed for the British and the EU. Many street vendors list prices in pounds. There is even a sign with the pound symbol and the inscription "this is English money. " Beer in markets - from 14 liras for 0.5, on the beach (or closer to the beach) - 30-35 liras for 0.5. Cola 2.5 liters - 6.5 lira, towels - normal from 40 lira, magnets - from 5-7 lira per 1 piece, to complex purchases of type 4 for 20, etc. Paragliding - from $66. From the guide - 90, plus 30 standard price for shooting.
General verdict. Oludeniz is a paradise for paragliding fans. The sea is really blue, we have never seen anything like this before. The Blue Lagoon did not cause delight, since it is a very small fenced area for swimming, and the sun loungers are all paid, and are almost close to the sea. The rest of the beaches are ALL public, admission is free, if you want, rent sunbeds, if you want, on a towel. The sea is great! The climate is excellent, the hotel is very worthy in all respects. It is worth coming here at least once.
P. S. The price of a voucher for 7 full days for two of us cost 17 kopecks. It's worth it to anyone! Go, you won't regret it!

But after the rest they never regretted, I'll tell you why.
This is not a luxury hotel, there is no gourmet cuisine here. However, we were not hungry, the food is quite varied, clean.
The price for the hotel is UAH 2.800. (2 + 1.7 nights. Quite inexpensive, compared to other city hotels on an all-inclusive basis).
The climate at this time is hot.
Check-in was late, after 00.00 we did not have time for dinner.
We were settled for 20-30 minutes. gave 3 bottles of water (0.5, which was nice) and brought suitcases to the room.
The room is small, clean, furniture and renovation are not new, but neat.
Daily cleaning! Toiletries have always been updated.
The staff is friendly!
The hotel has a large majority - Turks, then - Russians, fewer Ukrainians and others.
Everyone is friendly.
Meals correspond to the 4-star hotel.
Breakfast: pancakes + jam, a large selection of olives, rolls, cheeses, sausages, vegetables, eggs (2-3 types), yogurt, cereal with milk. Drinks: coffee, juice, tea.
Bottled water 0.5 - take as much as you want during meals!
Lunch: salads, sauces, vegetables, olives, cheeses, sausages, rice, potatoes + fries (daily), pasta, stewed vegetables (various), meat (chicken, lamb, semi-finished products), cutlets, meatballs stewed with vegetables, fish (3-4 times for the entire hour of our stay at the hotel), fish appetizers, etc. , soft drinks: tea, coffee, juice, water; alcoholic: wine (white, h), vodka, primitive cocktails. We often took gin sprite (delicious).
Fruits: plums and apples, watermelon. The choice is small.
After lunch by the pool: burgers, snacks, french fries, drinks (alcohol).
Dinner: hearty and delicious as well as lunch.
After dinner from 21.45 to 22.30 animation for children, then to 23.15 for adults. The bar worked.
Our room was in front of the pool, so it was good to have a little animation and it is impossible to fall asleep until the end.
Rooms located away from the pool are quiet.
The hotel area is compact and nice.
WI-FI on site is free and high quality.
To the sea on foot 5-7 minutes. The route passes through the main street of the resort, where many different shops and cafes. Every time you go and see something interesting.
The sea is UNREAL, ALIVE, CLEAN, Blue.
Oludeniz was chosen just across the sea and we are delighted. The son is impressed too!
To the Lagoon 20 minutes Free admission. Sunbeds and umbrellas - paid (60 lira for 2 beds and 1 umbrella).
The city offers a variety of excursions, you can bargain.
Absolutely normal hotel for your money.
We did not go to the hotel, but to the sea, and it is BEAUTIFUL in Oludeniz! ! ! ! !

Traveled with 8 year old daughter. Good hotel for families, many buildings, large well-groomed area. Three swimming pools - a large central one, a smaller one in the courtyard and a "paddling pool" for kids. Rooms: furniture and plumbing are not in perfect condition, but everything worked flawlessly, comfortable, clean, daily cleaning, towels and bedding changed every 3 days.

Traveled with 8 year old daughter. Good hotel for families, many buildings, large well-groomed area. Three swimming pools - a large central one, a smaller one in the courtyard and a "paddling pool" for kids. Rooms: furniture and plumbing are not in perfect condition, but everything worked flawlessly, comfortable, clean, daily cleaning, towels and bedding changed every 3 days. Wi fi normally pulls at the reception and near the pool, in the rooms intermittently, but the child was watching cartoons online. The animation is sufficient and not intrusive. In the afternoon, water aerobics, darts, billiards, in the evening from 22.00-23.00 - the show was Turkish national dances, belly dances, break) and even a drawing of a week's rest at the hotel. In the buildings next to the pool, at this time it will be noisy. There is a children's room, but small, stuffy, we did not use the services of an animator, but we saw children drawing and playing there.
The food is good, varied, tasty, without restrictions. Rooms are clean and cleaned regularly. Dinners were especially dense) A lot of meat, fish was three times and once a seafood cocktail (squid, mussels, shrimp). Good beer and wine, strong alcohol is also available. At lunch in the lobby ice cream, cakes, burgers, french fries. Drinks, alcohol until 23.00 free of charge. The water in the restaurant is bottled without restrictions. The staff does not speak Russian, but communication has always been successful - English and sign language). To the sea 5-7 min. along the central shopping street. There are 4 supermarkets, shops, tour representation. The sea is extraordinary, as is the nature around. The beach is municipal, more small pebbles, rent of umbrellas - 20 liras per day, a set of umbrella / sunbed - 60 liras. There are a lot of people on the beach, well-worn changing rooms and showers.
To Fethiye 30 min. minibus for 15 lira, if you are shopping or walking. I highly recommend visiting the funicular and climbing Bagadag for 80 lire / person (round trip). The views are mesmerizing. Walking access to the Blue Lagoon, free entry. This is not a luxury hotel, but it fully corresponds to its 4 stars. We were very pleased with our stay and the hotel as well.

Having visited this hotel, I did not understand the previously rave reviews of tourists. I'll start everything in order. Rooms/staff We arrived around 21:30. Dinner was already over (as they found out later dinner until 21, at 21-00 all dinner guests are warned about the end of the meal and the lights on the terrace are turned off) - everything is strict with this)) Upon arrival, they took the temperature, filled out 2 questionnaires and escorted to the room.

Having visited this hotel, I did not understand the previously rave reviews of tourists.
I'll start everything in order.
Rooms/staff
We arrived around 21:30. Dinner was already over (as they found out later dinner until 21, at 21-00 all dinner guests are warned about the end of the meal and the lights on the terrace are turned off) - everything is strict with this)) Upon arrival, they took the temperature, filled out 2 questionnaires and escorted to the room.
The rooms are small, we were put in a room on the second floor - two single beds, two bedside tables, TV, air conditioning, refrigerator. The furniture is old. The balcony is small. The exit of the balcony was to the pool and animation.
In the morning we asked to move us to another room, because. noise from animation + unpleasant smell in the morning from the sewer. But we were told that there were no available rooms and offered to come in two days.
The room is cleaned daily, but the towels and linen are not changed. The foot towel was already black, in the sand. No shampoo, soap, or toilet paper was added for 3 days NEVER. (on arrival - 2 small bottles of shampoo + small soap + 2 rolls of toilet paper) . But the bed was made.
On the 3rd day we were reminded of our request with a change of room. Our request was granted, first they took us to a terrible room on the 1st floor, then all the same we were given a room on the 2nd floor. The room was of a slightly better quality, toilet paper, shampoo and soap were provided.
Restaurants and Bars: The choice of food is poor.
Breakfast standard.
Boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried sausage (a couple of times), rolls, porridge with milk. Sausage and ham is the same paper as everywhere in Turkey. Cheeses are normal, but people standing on the distribution believe that two (or more often one piece) of cheese is enough for a person for breakfast, so they had to constantly ask to increase the amount. There are halva, olives, jams, honey, dried apricots, Turkish delight. There were muesli, but the person who was at their distribution was constantly absent, we had to wait until it came up). Often they don't wait.
Coffee or tea.
Lunch, dinner
A total of 4 hot trays (usually 2 types of meat and 6 types of vegetables) - 1 type of meat (poultry) and 1-2 types of meatballs or nuggets. There was beef or turkey once, turkey roast, beans with meat, fish 2 times, but there was always a queue for it and it quickly ended. Otherwise, these are side dishes every day - the same rice, french fries, onion rings, less often eggplant. There was canned tuna (like from ATB), terrible spicy shrimp, very spicy asparagus.
The food is specific, and mostly very spicy pepper and garlic.
There was also soup -1 kind, puree soup is always different. Considering that the soup was behind the counter where the employee was supposed to give it out, and in 90% of cases there was no employee to take the soup, it was rare - they ate only 3-4 times.
There was practically no sweet, all that was was 5-6 types of biscuits in syrup (by the middle of lunch and dinner there were 2 types left) Watermelon, plums, apples, pears.
In the bar in the restaurant for lunch and dinner - spirits + ayran. Tea coffee. Everything is poured by employees.
To this we can add constant queues, the presence of wasps and hornets on the summer playground, almost always all the tables are occupied, the lack of napkins on the tables, meat, fish dishes ended within the first 30 minutes, vegetable dishes were put in their place, i. e. For delicious dishes you have to come to the opening and stand in line.
And another important point - there is no culture of serving drinks in the hotel restaurant. Regardless of whether it is a cocktail, alcoholic drink or Coca-Cola, everything is poured in the same glasses. Glasses are served scalded. And if strong alcohol is poured there, you can’t drink these (((
The same goes for plates. Watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers are also put on a hot plate, which is sometimes difficult to even hold in your hands.
There is no air conditioning in the lobby, the bar is closed, the interior is very beautiful. It is impossible to enter the hotel, cars are parked in 3 rows, chaotically. They blocked the entrance to the hotel and entered only along the side ramp.
There were always masks at the reception in the lobby
Swimming pool and pool bar.
This is the only thing for which the hotel could be put 4-5!
The pool is clean, of different depths, the water does not stink of bleach.
The only negative is that the hotel does not provide beach towels, but this is not a problem at all.
The bar is always open, except for dinner. In the bar - juices, tea, coffee, wine, beer, gin, crayfish, cola, sprite, etc. Cocktails - for extra. fee. Glasses - reusable plastic, capacious. The bartenders are GREAT. There are snacks by the pool - hamburger, onion rings, french fries. There is always animation in the pool - aerobics, water polo, billiards, darts. Ice cream balls from 15-30 to 16-30.
The sunbeds are comfortable, there are not many umbrellas, some of the umbrellas are broken, but we had enough.
Wi-fi is free on the territory of the hotel, it is overloaded in the evenings, it does not reach the rooms.
Sea - Oludeniz public beach (with paid sunbeds) and private beaches.
Public beach - a large beach with a huge crowd of people, crowded, garbage, the sea is not very clean. The entrance is a large pebble. Periodically there is an unpleasant odor, tk. there are many cafes with their waste and garbage, as well as the shopping street of Oludeniz, from where the drain goes towards the sea. Walk to the beach - 400 meters - 5 minutes at a leisurely pace
There are showers and changing rooms, but they are in terrible condition.
Beaches in the direction of the blue lagoon reserve - Equipped, ennobled, despite the fact that the cost of sunbeds on those beaches is the same as on a public beach. Entrance to the Blue Lagoon is free. Go a little longer than the public 15-17 minutes. In the evening the sea is dirty.
I liked the country beach Kedrak.
Clean sea, fresh coniferous air, sunbeds, changing cabins, shower, toilet, bar. As well as the whole atmosphere for a good holiday. The entrance is medium and small pebbles.
You can get there by bus in 30 min-hour. (chaotic schedule) -5 lire per person or taxi - convenient location of the call button - right on the beach.
Entrance to the beach - 10 liras per person, 2 sun loungers - 70 liras.
By the sea and entertainment in Oludeniz, everyone will find something to do and a corner to their liking) Paragliding, snorkeling, jumping on the waves, boating, etc. etc. You will not be bored, but the hotel is a little more difficult.
We chose the hotel based on the reviews of friends and on the Internet, but when we arrived we were disappointed. The price tag for this hotel in the season reached 1000 euros for 2 for 7 nights, but this is a VERY overpriced price for such a hotel.
You can survive and possibly have a good time near the pool. Most likely there are worse hotels. Well, Karbel is not a 4* hotel at all. It is not suitable for tourists who want to spend time on vacation, including in a hotel comfortably.
I'll start everything in order.

Otherwise, these are side dishes every day - the same rice, french fries, onion rings, less often eggplant. There was canned tuna (like from ATB), terrible spicy shrimp, very spicy asparagus.
The food is specific, and mostly very spicy pepper and garlic.
There was also soup -1 kind, puree soup is always different. Considering that the soup was behind the counter where the employee was supposed to give it out, and in 90% of cases there was no employee to take the soup, it was rare - they ate only 3-4 times.
There was practically no sweet, all that was was 5-6 types of biscuits in syrup (by the middle of lunch and dinner there were 2 types left) Watermelon, plums, apples, pears.
In the bar in the restaurant for lunch and dinner - spirits + ayran. Tea coffee. Everything is poured by employees.
To this we can add constant queues, the presence of wasps and hornets on the summer playground, almost always all the tables are occupied, the lack of napkins on the tables, meat, fish dishes ended within the first 30 minutes, vegetable dishes were put in their place, i. e. For delicious dishes you have to come to the opening and stand in line.
And another important point - there is no culture of serving drinks in the hotel restaurant. Regardless of whether it is a cocktail, alcoholic drink or Coca-Cola, everything is poured in the same glasses. Glasses are served scalded. And if strong alcohol is poured there, you can’t drink these (((
The same goes for plates. Watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers are also put on a hot plate, which is sometimes difficult to even hold in your hands.
There is no air conditioning in the lobby, the bar is closed, the interior is very beautiful. It is impossible to enter the hotel, cars are parked in 3 rows, chaotically. They blocked the entrance to the hotel and entered only along the side ramp.
There were always masks at the reception in the lobby
Swimming pool and pool bar.
This is the only thing for which the hotel could be put 4-5!
The pool is clean, of different depths, the water does not stink of bleach.
The only negative is that the hotel does not provide beach towels, but this is not a problem at all.
The bar is always open, except for dinner. In the bar - juices, tea, coffee, wine, beer, gin, crayfish, cola, sprite, etc. Cocktails - for extra. fee. Glasses - reusable plastic, capacious. The bartenders are GREAT. There are snacks by the pool - hamburger, onion rings, french fries. There is always animation in the pool - aerobics, water polo, billiards, darts. Ice cream balls from 15-30 to 16-30.
The sunbeds are comfortable, there are not many umbrellas, some of the umbrellas are broken, but we had enough.
Wi-fi is free on the territory of the hotel, it is overloaded in the evenings, it does not reach the rooms.
Sea - Oludeniz public beach (with paid sunbeds) and private beaches.
Public beach - a large beach with a huge crowd of people, crowded, garbage, the sea is not very clean. The entrance is a large pebble. Periodically there is an unpleasant odor, tk. there are many cafes with their waste and garbage, as well as the shopping street of Oludeniz, from where the drain goes towards the sea. Walk to the beach - 400 meters - 5 minutes at a leisurely pace
There are showers and changing rooms, but they are in terrible condition.
Beaches in the direction of the blue lagoon reserve - Equipped, ennobled, despite the fact that the cost of sunbeds on those beaches is the same as on a public beach. Entrance to the Blue Lagoon is free. Go a little longer than the public 15-17 minutes. In the evening the sea is dirty.
I liked the country beach Kedrak.
Clean sea, fresh coniferous air, sunbeds, changing cabins, shower, toilet, bar. As well as the whole atmosphere for a good holiday. The entrance is medium and small pebbles.
You can get there by bus in 30 min-hour. (chaotic schedule) -5 lire per person or taxi - convenient location of the call button - right on the beach.
Entrance to the beach - 10 liras per person, 2 sun loungers - 70 liras.
By the sea and entertainment in Oludeniz, everyone will find something to do and a corner to their liking) Paragliding, snorkeling, jumping on the waves, boating, etc. etc. You will not be bored, but the hotel is a little more difficult.
We chose the hotel based on the reviews of friends and on the Internet, but when we arrived we were disappointed. The price tag for this hotel in the season reached 1000 euros for 2 for 7 nights, but this is a VERY overpriced price for such a hotel.
You can survive and possibly have a good time near the pool. Most likely there are worse hotels. Well, Karbel is not a 4* hotel at all. It is not suitable for tourists who want to spend time on vacation, including in a hotel comfortably.

Rested with a family of 2 adults and a child of 11 years old, returned today 07/17/2021. I'll leave a review while the memories are fresh.

Rested with a family of 2 adults and a child of 11 years old, returned today 07/17/2021. I'll leave a review while the memories are fresh. The hotel went from 3 * to 4 * due to the provision of "all inclusive" services.
1. The food is decent enough (no frills), but without restrictions, as some have said here. 4 types of meat (chicken, turkey, lamb, beef) daily, especially at lunch, well cooked (not rubber shoes and not peppered). Fish for lunch daily, there was even a hot seafood salad (mussels, shrimp, something like scallops). Of the side dishes, potatoes dominate (french fries, mashed potatoes, rustic pieces), stew, rice, pasta, mushrooms. Cheeses, hard, soft, about 15 types, I liked almost all of them (with the exception of amateur cheeses with olives and spices). Vegetables are seasonal, as are fruits, apples, watermelons, pears, plums, apricots every day. Dried apricots, raisins, packaged honey, various jams for lunch every day. Koditerka is not rich, but varied and, as always, very sweet to the point of cloying. Halva is delicious.
From soft drinks Pepsi, Cola, Fanta, Sprite, mineral water, Ayran (packed glass) and just bottled water, orange, cherry, apple juices and, accordingly, tea, coffee (even coffee with milk) - without restrictions. I was surprised how ice cream is for 4 *, which you can’t even say about some 5 * in Turkey. Snack bar and cakes by the pool, I do not take into account, because it's just sitting all day at the pool in the hotel. Free alcohol, local, without making cocktails (for a fee).
2. The staff is friendly, poorly speaking Russian 10% (1 woman at the reception speaks and understands Russian at 100), as well as in English. The animation is simple and not intrusive, for a family holiday, that's it.
3. The renovation was most likely carried out in 2020-2021, the rooms are fresh, the furniture is not new but in good condition.
4. Rooms are cleaned daily, linen and towels are changed every 3 days.
5. The territory is green and well-groomed, sanitizers are everywhere.
6. The hotel is within walking distance from the sea (the city's free Belcekiz beach, if without sunbeds and umbrellas) 10 minutes in a junction along a direct shopping street looking at goods, excursions, restaurants and currency exchange offices.
7. Paragliders, more precisely, do not strain paragliders, but on the other hand they give the rest their flavor.
8. The Blue Lagoon is generally the icing on the cake, its location between the mountains, the color and transparency of the water (if you sail on a boat), which is rented, is impressive. It is also within walking distance from the hotel, 20-25 minutes of hiking in flip flops.

I rested at the hotel with a child of 11 years old and my girlfriend also with a child of 11 years old. We were settled quickly, the rooms were in building 8 on the second floor, the rooms were normal, after cosmetic repairs, there was always hot water, the holder for the electronic key was broken, so the light was constantly turned off.

I rested at the hotel with a child of 11 years old and my girlfriend also with a child of 11 years old. We were settled quickly, the rooms were in building 8 on the second floor, the rooms were normal, after cosmetic repairs, there was always hot water, the holder for the electronic key was broken, so the light was constantly turned off. No one was in a hurry to repair it, so they suffered for ten days. The room was cleaned normally, every day, the bed leaves much to be desired, there are stains, even clean towels had an unpleasant smell. The staff doesn't really care about the guests. In the afternoon, as soon as you lie down to rest outside the door, shouting between the cleaners begins, very loudly, it was not always possible to sleep.
Swimming pool. There were always places, but no one gave out towels, although the hotel positions itself as 4 stars!!!
The worst thing was the food. Previously, we rested in Oludeniz in Sun City - this is also 4 stars and there is something to compare, as well as in two more 3-star hotels.
So, worse food than here, I have not seen anywhere else!!! ! For breakfast, there were no yoghurts at all, scrambled eggs not always, sausage, cheese, vegetables, eggs, muesli, milk... And that's it. Lunch and dinner are a maximum of two types of meat, and if you're lucky, two types of side dishes - this is not always the case. Salads are monotonous, appetizers are disgusting, sometimes they gave fish once or twice a week. If you have time to start, you can take it, after an hour there was almost nothing, just leftovers... But the most annoying thing was that they put portions on you, two spoonfuls each, if you ask for supplements, they make such a face that it’s disgusting to look at... Children were generally refused to be given a supplement when they came by themselves without their parents.
Further, when you sit down at a table, there are a lot of staff - the guards, who do not allow you to eat normally, come up every two minutes to see how much you have taken and what, behave boorishly, giggle behind your back. Clean up stupidly ignored. They climb across the entire table to take an empty plate, while they smell very unpleasant and this constantly prevents you from eating calmly!
The evening show was for 10 days once, the rest of the days karaoke and that's it, entertain yourself is called, with the same animation.
In general, I don’t recommend it, I won’t come back here for sure and it doesn’t pull for 4 stars, it’s a weak trio !! !

We arrived at 7 am, a family of six adults and a child. We waited for check-in for up to two hours, although according to the security certificate, the rooms should be free a day before the check-in of new guests. Finally, they gave rooms, two good rooms, and a dog house with a crib for me and my child, although we asked for a triple one several times.

Finally, they gave rooms, two good rooms, and a dog house with a crib for me and my child, although we asked for a triple one several times. When asked to change the number to the same as the rest of the family, we were answered only for $ 50. Towels and bedding in the room are not changed, again, let me remind you that the hotel has a certificate, and this is unacceptable. There are two tiny shampoo bottles in the bathroom and they don't refill and that's it. There are no beach towels. Breakfast is very poor, no porridge, eggs and those tasteless, instant coffee. There are few fruits. Won't go back, bad experience. Were this summer in two different hotels in Turkey, there is something to compare.

The hotel was chosen by advertising on YouTube. bribed the white and blue tones of the reception. The resettlement was organized quickly and well, given that we do not know either English or Turkish. We quickly found a beautiful girl Zhanna, explained everything, took her to the room, and immediately fed her.

The cottage complex Karbel Hotel was chosen for recreation, purely based on their budget and proximity to the sea. I already had to rest in those parts, but in more expensive hotels, I liked the nature and the calm sea. Hotel 3 * corresponds. Value for money - normal, got what we expected. When we arrived we didn't have to wait and we were seated right away.

When we arrived we didn't have to wait and we were seated right away. The room, however, was given on the first floor, we wanted higher. But they were satisfied - spacious and comfortable, bed, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, everything is working. Cleaning is regular, but quite simple - garbage is removed, the bed is made, towels are renewed. Although, I will note that the staff is friendly and pleasant, they will easily do what you ask and will never refuse. Good service in the restaurant too. There is practically no entertainment in the hotel itself, animation is very rare in the evenings. But there is an excellent pool, we swam with pleasure! ! There is also a bar street and many shops within a 5 minute walk from the hotel, so there is plenty to do! ! I also liked the food - traditional breakfasts with a good selection of fruits, cheeses, eggs in various forms, and dinners are simply unrealistically tasty and always have a wide choice! The hotel is quite good, as for its level! I personally really liked it, really had a great rest!

The hotel is not new, not pretentious, for older people and without pretensions. There are 60 rooms in the hotel, the territory is small, but well-groomed, 5 minutes walk to the sea. Located on one of the three streets of the village of Oludeniz (the quietest street). The pool is small, clean. The restaurant is very modest in terms of dishes (breakfast), quite sufficient (dinner).

Located on one of the three streets of the village of Oludeniz (the quietest street). The pool is small, clean. The restaurant is very modest in terms of dishes (breakfast), quite sufficient (dinner). The hotel has 4 three-story buildings. The best is the 3rd. The most unfortunate building 1, because. the rooms either face the street, or the pool, or the veranda of the restaurant, past this building there is a passage to all the other rooms of the buildings. I went out to the patio, it was always cool in it without air conditioning (in the heat in the shade of 35 degrees), because. the sun almost did not get into the room. Rooms are cleaned daily, towels are changed every 2-3 days. There are NO toiletries in the room. Beach towel should be your own. . rub. (hotel, air tickets, insurance, transfer - registration through a travel agency). Belchikiz Beach (free) is nearby, the Blue Lagoon is a 15-minute walk. In a day or two, you can, if you wish, go on very interesting excursions from the Sky Sports company, which is located on the main street not far from the hotel. The prices here are slightly lower, than the host tour operator of the hotel, the groups are smaller, the organization of excursions is excellent...
Room tip: The hotel has 4 buildings: the best 3 (all rooms) and 2nd (rooms facing the courtyard).
