Hotel Karia Princess

A lovely hotel which is only 15 mins from the marina and 15 mins from the amphitheatre. Despite being so well located the hotel is an oasis of calm. The rooms are large and - whilst not ultra modern - very well appointed with comfortable beds, fridges and air conditioning. The bathrooms have a bath and a fairly low set shower. Breakfast is good with freshly squeezed orange juice, Turkish coffee and omelettes being ordered from the friendly staff. There is a buffet with a nice range of local produce as well as cereals. Special mention goes to Sybil on reception. She is a complete star. Helped us with lots of things and is a lovely person. The common areas of the hotel are spotlessly clean and there is a beautiful grand piano in reception. I was so disappointed that I was not allowed to play it. The only other disappointment was that the gym is also not available. This is not made clear on the website. I was initially told both gym and piano are broken. However when inspected the piano it is in perfect condition and perfectly tuned. So I wonder whether this is a language barrier thing. On the more positive side, I enjoyed the peaceful gardens and pool area. The team here put a lot of effort into keeping it all so immaculate. We have recommended our company makes it the prime choice for further trips.
