Kulube Hotel

I’m sitting at the Kulube Hotel, on my last morning, having just had breakfast, overlooking the beautiful bay and feeling so sad to be leaving. This is only a 3 star but more like a boutique, high end 5 star hotel. It’s small, friendly, family run hotel in the most stunning location. It’s built into the hillside, lots of steps going down the hill to the restaurants and beach but don’t let that put you off. Our room was brand new, modern and exceptionally clean, as we found the entire hotel. It’s peaceful, serene and we often had the beautiful pools to ourselves. There is waiter service to sunbeds, wherever you choose to spend your time. The breakfast is buffet style, traditionally Turkish but healthy, plenty of fruit, cheeses, meats and salad as well as omelettes made to order. No British bacon, eggs etc in site. The food for lunch or dinner is lovely quality and not expensive. The staff really look after you and can’t do enough. The hotel is not going to be suitable for people wanting loud music playing around pools or wanting staff organising activities or needing entertainment as there is nothing like this at the Kulube. But, if you want peace, quiet and relaxation in a stunning setting where the sweet scent of hibiscus greets you in the morning, you will love it. If you want to venture out, reception will order taxis to take you into Kalkan at £3 each way. There’s plenty of night life here, shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. Another added bonus of the Kulube, for anyone wanting to scuba dive, there’s a 5 star PADI school next door. Overall, really sad to be going home today but will come back soon, like lots of others. There are lots of people I’ve met on their 2nd or 4rd stay here which speaks volumes. Well done Kulube and thank you for a beautiful week!
