Wow, just wow! Karia Bel' is a total joy. We recently spent 7 magical days/nights there & loved every minute. From the moment you arrive, 5 minutes via small motorboat from the town, you are in heaven. No children (hotel is built on a seaside hillside with much of the ground floor literally over deep water), beautiful setting/views, amazing rooms (huge comfy beds & lovely terrace with sea views), fantastic service (the staff are incredible, so attentive & friendly) & the best bit - the food! I honestly don't think I've ever eaten so well in a holiday hotel. Sumptuous breakfast buffet catering to all tastes, superb lunch menu (try the Octopus salad or Sea Bream Cerviche, you won't be disappointed!) & utterly sublime evening dinners, comprising 4 courses, starting with 2 mezze-style courses (mainly highly imaginative vegetarian), followed by the main course (usually delicious fish) & finally desert. The owner Bel, is charming & ever present, She runs a very tight ship, responding immediately to any needs or questions but couldn't so it without her wonderful staff. They were all so nice & helpful but we especially liked Sedat, the Maitre D', who literally went the extra mile all day/evening for guests, & the 2 boatmen, who ferried us to town whenever we wanted & carried our bags up the 102 steps to our room (I did say the hotel was set on a hillside!). This hotel is not cheap, but when you account for the fact that it is half board & given the high standards of everything on offer, it is well worth it in my view. We will return!

Perfect location on the sea , food is outstanding, yet the most important factor, the staff is going above and beyond, extremly attentive, proactive, Mr Sedat and his team are just perfect, the captain very helpful, Ms Ceyla heartwarming. A place you feel more than home and a place you leave with tears in the eyes. We will come again!

“AS GOOD AS IT GETS!”

Having just spent 4 nights at Karia Bel I completely concur with its top rating on TA. We are well travelled, but I can honestly say that our room was one of the best we have stayed in.

Having just spent 4 nights at Karia Bel I completely concur with its top rating on TA. We are well travelled, but I can honestly say that our room was one of the best we have stayed in. It had everything man can provide, but even more importantly what man alone cannot provide- the most magnificent view across the bay of Bozburun. Accessed only by boat gives the hotel a special feel (although there is a footpath into Bozburun- about 20 minutes)- and no cars within a couple of kilometres. The breakfast buffet was excellent as was the set evening menu- you can have confidence in this place to ensure the best! The staff are friendly and professional- the owners can take pride in their team, and the team can take pride in their owners- to achieve what KariaBel offers needs clear direction from the top. Highly recommended! One watch out, although not a major issue for us, some of the rooms are accessed by a lot of steps which might provide issues for anyone of limited mobility.

“Wonderful hotel in every regard”

Beautiful setting and wonderful hotel. If you are looking for an authentic Turkish hotel with excellent hospitality you would have difficulty finding anything better. The food and service is outstanding and we had a fantastic three nights at the Karia Bel.
