We've just come back from a one week holiday in Olu Deniz and have felt compelled to comment on the Karbel Sun Hotel where we stayed. Not to be confused with the adjacent Karbel Hotel (families) or Karbel Beach (singles) this hotel caters for couples wanting to enjoy the beautiful Turkish coast without the throbbing music and cheap tackiness often associated with an English orientated resort.

Well located at the top of the main avenue to the beach - it's close to all the bars and restaurants as well as the beach and "blue lagoon" but far enough away for it to be a peaceful retreat if you want to avoid the crowds. There's a taxi firm across the road and Dolmuses stop at the bottom of the street for trips to nearby Hisaronu, Ovacik and Fethiye for a quid each way.

The rooms are basic but have excellent air conditioning which was great as we went during a heatwave, and the friendly and knowledgeable staff can not do enough for you. Even though breakfast is basic the evening menu is excellent and the chef's whip up English, European and traditional Turkish dishes with relative ease. As a caterer myself I was impressed at the choice and value for money. Set menus of four courses were £10-12 and included expensive cuts including t-bones and sea bass.

In all I rate this hotel very highly - a must is the Sunday Turkish night dinner with traditional folk and belly dancing.
