Olive Garden Kabak

The design of the rooms (individual huts) is a cross between Nordic and Japanese Wabi Sabi. They are clean and simple. Dinner consisting of stuffed aubergine and a vegetable casserole was fresh and simple. We did not risk the sea bream or sea bass as they seem to be farmed. Breakfast was simple and good. The one disappointment was the coffee. There is a magnificent Italian espresso machine but Nescafé is served. When one presses for real coffee it still tastes of Ness.

We last visited in 2018 and since then the steep path leading to the Olive Garden has been completely renovated. Also the main road has been extended by a couple of miles. We were lucky enough to get the last 2 sun beds by the infinity pool. Although still beautiful was spoilt by very noisy guests and those that must have thought everyone was deaf as they listened to their music. The food was a little disappointing as we had fish and chips and the fish wasn’t very exciting. The view was still as amazing.

We went for the day and absolutely LOVED it here. It truly is a little paradise. Everything about it is amazing. The infinity pool is gorgeous, the views are breathtaking, the staff are so friendly, the food is the best ever, and it's such good value for money. You can stay all day as long as you spend at least £18. We spent the whole day there, I had a gorgeous meal, shared a jug of sangria (which was really nice), a cocktail, a glass of wine and it came to £35. It's SUCH good value for money. We got a taxi from Olu Deniz that costs 600 TL but got a bus back which cost 32 TL per person. Get the bus - it's so much cheaper and doesn't stop much on the way. The mountain road up and down is steep and windy, as you expect from a mountain road. We loved it there so much that we went back for the day in the second week.

A word of mouth recommendation so got a taxi ride from our hotel for a day trip out and Wow what a place!! Absolutely Fantastic friendly staff, Great menu of delicious food stayed for lunch and evening meal before taxi back but not before booking to stay the next night it was such a wonderful find. Freddie and all the staff so friendly and welcoming Can’t recommend the place highly enough Hopefully returning next year to stay longer

Beautiful location and good food. The staff were fab. Taxi from olu deniz is roughly 300 tl or £15. Olive garden prefer cash to card. Infinity pool is nice but its small if its busy so I'd get there by 10.30. We stayed but I wasn't impressed with what they call a bungalow. In England we would call it a shack, it is tired, wood needs replacing and needs improving. Toilet didn't flush. Shower head was dirty and blocked. The room had huge spider webs above air con unit which wasn't good, I didn't sleep well and the bed was really dusty behind it. The location was nice but we had dogs barking all night. Take insect repellant. No hair dryer so take one, also no fridge for water so take cool bag. Not sure I'd stay in a bungalow again but its worth a visit if you are going that way. The best part was the cool mountain air at night.

We spent a night here for our 25th wedding anniversary and although there was some amazing points we did feel disappointed. The lodge was amazing and we had a jacuzzi which was brilliant. The view is to die for and all these point I would give a 10/10. The food we felt was decided for us and kind of pushed on us we didn’t get to look at a menu for the COMPLETE choice. Literally as we booked in we were told about the salt fish and prawns and had to let him know there and then as the fish had to be baked for a while so we felt obliged to say yes, when in actual fact it was very bland and with a bit of salad and a few greasy chips we felt disappointed. The lodge at night was very hot even with the air conditioning on and there was banging on the back of our lodge so we didn’t sleep at all. Breakfast was the same as dinner no menu “but we do a special dish with eggs and tomatoes”….. again we wanted a menu to choose but felt obliged to agree. The infinity pool was lovely and with the view you cannot fault it but the sun beds were filthy. On check out we were just told a price and we weren’t given a break down like we were told so for these few reasons we wouldn’t return. It was for a special time for us so it was a shame we both left disappointed.
