Kulube Hotel

Our sanctuary whilst out on the Kalamar road on first part of our trip to Kalkan. Hotel is in a spectacular setting and beach club quiet but very very good. food and drinks all reasonable priced. went four times in first week it was that good, would stay at hotel too next time.

Our room 129 was a superior sea view room, in a quiet location, but close to a closed but unsealed sewer, sometimes the smell was atrocious. On arrival at the hotel the ONLY information we were given was that Breakfast was from 0800 -1000. There was no information about the Hotel in our room, and the 2 reception staff were very disinterested whenever we tried to gain information. We had been there a week before a fellow guest told us that you could order fresh egg dishes at breakfast, on our last day we found, hidden away, a book exchange. Our bed linen was not changed for 8 days, and then only when my wife complained. The final insult was when we departed for the airport, yes we knew there were a lot of steps, but closing in on 70 years of age, there was no assistance offered with 2 suitcases, and just as our transport arrived the man in reception disappeared, not a goodbye, did you enjoy your stay? or anything. Yes the location for the sea is superb, and swimming with Mollie the dog was brilliant. Sorry, but until there is a bit more customer relations we WILL not return.

A welcome return trip to the Kulube, we were last here in 2012. We had a 10 night stay and got the bargain basement room-literally.There is a pecking order with its accommodation and ours was the basic level located under the main pool, bar and patio restaurant area. We has simply requested a room with a sea view and got one. Somewhat dated room 138 was nevertheless great value for money. Ample room, a good sized comfortable double bed, excellent shower in the adjoining bathroom and loo, and more cupboard and draw space you could ever wish for. This corner room had wonderful views of the bay and looked down on the tiered areas leading to the sea and sun-decks. So if you wish to spend your hard earned money on other delights found in the town-requesting this room is a winner. Since our last visit the hotel has added an additional pool, an infinity pool with surrounding sun decks adjacent to the lunch time dining area. Its a welcome addition, and unlike the main pool one the average person can stand up in too. The hotel is located on the far western side of Kalkan and at the bottom of a hill. For those with an adversion to walking, without the aid of the local taxi's, getting into town can be a challenge. But if you don't mind a moderate stroll the daily walk is well worth the effort and you are rewarded by discovering a range of excellent restaurants and cafe's right on your doorstep. This hotel provides a wonderful base to discover or just reconnect with the town of Kalkan. A town where you are welcomed as a long lost friend, never pressurised into this or that and where your money goes the extra mile. A place where you are spoilt for choice of where to eat or just sit and take in what's around you. The hotel service generally is excellent, the daily room service being worthy of a special mention. Breakfast is a relaxed affair and although not a wide choice of fayre, the fresh fruit, vegetables and bread options combined with a choice of cereal sets you up for the day. They do simple lunches too and provide evening meals but neither can compete with the array of restaurants in the town. The highs are this is a wonderful place to relax and to swim in safe clear seas although if you are a snorkeller there is not much to see! The overall impact is positive although some areas require much needed TLC and the landscaped garden areas are somewhat neglected. But overall a cracking place to stay and one that lives up to its star rating.
