Kabak Utopya

We liked it enough to stay extra nights, and upgraded to a bigger suite. The views are incredible, the staff are friendly and helpful, and breakfast was delicious. The dirt road was manageable for anyone used to driving on those. A few room details felt unfinished: some light switches didn’t work, the blankets were too thin, and toilet paper was missing. Dinner was just okay. Wi-Fi was mostly reliable, though not great for remote work. A suite gives you better seating, and a mobile data plan helps with the connection. I definitely recommend the place.

The road to the house is in poor shape, and we stayed put for all five days because of it. The track down to the bay is similar. Walking takes about 10 minutes downhill and 15 back up, but the coast view is stunning. In early October the sea was warm and the beach wasn't crowded, with loungers, umbrellas, kayaks and motorboats available to rent. The mosquitoes are fierce, though. If they get you at night, you'll be scratching for days. We stayed in the Sardinia house. For the current price, it’s best to call the hotel or choose your dates on the website since listed prices are only 'starting from'. The staff greeted us warmly and were quick to help. The refrigerator door was broken, but they fixed it as soon as we reported it. The restaurant serves delicious traditional Turkish home cooking. There’s an air conditioner in the living room, plus a fan and humidifier in the bedroom. That was enough to keep us comfortable at 27°C. The house also has a stove and kettle.

We had a few problems in our apartment and felt embarrassed, but the staff welcomed us and helped with everything. They were so warmhearted, and the owner was really friendly too. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. It's quiet, with a beautiful view, clean rooms, amazing food, and the best staff. The location also meant we hiked every day. Thank you, Kabak Utopya Kamp! 🌈

The view from our balcony, and from the restaurant, was amazing. The staff were kind and welcoming, but the drive there turned our stay into a stressful experience. The hotel is off a dirt road that needs maintenance, and we weren't warned about how dangerous it was. Our car got stuck and couldn't make it up the hill. We spent an hour in the scorching sun trying to push it up, until some people passing by stopped to help. It was scary. When I told the manager, he didn't apologize. I asked him to pick us up at the top of the mountain for the rest of our stay, and he did. We suggested warning future guests. Getting to our room was another hassle, with lots of steep stairs and suitcases to carry. The place is overpriced for such a rustic hotel. In Turkey, this price could get you somewhere more comfortable and enjoyable, so I wouldn't recommend it.
