쿨루베 호텔

Had a lovely stay at the kulube. It’s such a relaxing hotel with stunning views. There are multiple areas to sit and relax or to soak up the sun. On site meals can be eaten on the terrace restaurant which are very good. There are a choice of different types of room. Many thanks to oken,, Harke and all the staff for a wonderful stay.

If you want some of the best views you will get from a hotel then the Kulube is where you want to be! We were welcomed by a very friendly team in reception and taken to our room. We opted for the superior suite with private pool and balcony or terrace. This title did confuse me somewhat as it does seem you can't opt for a terrace or a balcony, you just get what is available. Both suites are together so the room with the balcony is above the room with the pool (so a kind of private villa if you are 2 couples traveling and book both of these!) I did wonder though if the pool was shared with both suites as they can both access it (the people in the balcony suite can just come down stairs and walk round the side of the bottom suite in theory and access the pool) and I read a review on here that someone did actually experience people from the suite upstairs nipping down for a swim but that's not the case, at least not now. The photos show 4 sun loungers round the pool whereas both suites are for 1-2 people so that suggests it is shared but I was there last week and there are only 2 sun loungers so if it ever was shared, it looks like they decided to scrap that idea as it would be a bit odd anyway in my opinion. I'm only going into great detail with the pool as I genuinely couldn't work it out 🤣 So hopefully if anyone else has the same question here is your answer 👍 We were in the bottom suite which is lovely, I assume the suite upstairs is pretty much the same interior wise. The doors lead out onto a terrace and a private infinity pool. The suite itself is nice, one thing to note there is barely anything in it so no kettle, cutlery, plates, hob etc. Not an issue for us but if you plan to spend a bit more time in the room itself and enjoy the pool you'd either need to bring your own accessories or sort something out with the hotel who can maybe supply these. A cleaner comes in daily and does a great job. There is also a fridge with mini bar and I think they are very on the ball with keeping that stocked as it seemed every time I went in for a beer, it was full again! There is no doubt about it, if you have mobility issues this probably isn't the hotel for you as there are steps... and lots of them! The hotel is built into a hill side so from reception all the pools (there are 2), bars and food areas are all down various sets of steps and inevitably for every set of steps you go down, at some point you are going to have to go back up again! Following the steps right to the bottom will lead you directly into the sea. Yes, that's right the sea is accessible directly from the hotel which is truly unique. Location wise, Kalkan town with it's plethora of shops, restaurants and bars is around 1.5 miles away so not far at all however given the hills involved in that journey most people are not going to walk, not only would it be a hike and a half, it'd be a true mission dodging the crazy taxis and scooters that come whizzing by. Instead you are most li
