La Boheme Kabak

I cannot believe anyone couldn’t love this wonderful haven, utterly beautiful, so peaceful, wonderful food and lovely friendly staff… it is true that the dirt track to reach it is quite an adventure but easily avoided if you park at the top and ask them to come and collect you… we will absolutely return

We normally live in Istanbul and going to this place reminded us that we breath. We stayed for 2 days there and enjoyed every single moment by doing nothing. The atmosphere is so calming. Compared to the other hotels, its opportunity to swim is good. The road is limited and the staff took us from the main road. They were really kind. You should try this hotel if you prefer to stay in nature instead of wandering around the touristic stores. The best thing was the restaurant. As you don’t have any other options than the restaurant, they must have chosen the best chef. We really enjoyed the food. There was only one problem that the area has limited electricity so there were some cut-offs and the noice of generator sometimes. But we went there in a crowded time. I would like to hear only the sound of wind, waves and the bugs around. I extremely recommend this hotel.

The hotel buildings are all of a high standard and the rooms are lovely with great views. The breakfast was fantastic. The pool looked really nice, but we didn’t try it. That’s the end of the good stuff . The hotel is down a steep rocky track which we were encouraged to drive down in our basic hire car - it was pretty hairy and you can feel stranded once you get there (don’t atempt it if your not a confident driver). We had dinner at la Boheme on our first night and were shocked by the prices ( 300 lira for a small beer!) , and the expensive limited food menu ( I sent back my chicken as it was inedible). Waiting staff were nice, however the unfriendly manager only acknowledged us when he wanted money from us. Swimming platform has potential to be amazing but is dangerous due to poor quality and its unfinished state. This place is bad value and not as high end as it looks - we got charged for having two cups of tea rather than one in the morning as part of our included breakfast ! You need to ask if you want your room cleaned and water wasn’t included or put in your fridge each day ( unlike all the previous and cheaper hotels we had stayed at during our trip). The hotel can feel quite intimidating - there’s a very strange vibe. We walked 20 mins to the beach to escape each night( take a torch) and had some great dinners and fantastic cocktails at the Sea Vally bungalows which had a great atmosphere and made us feel super welcome.

Despite its claims of luxury, the hotel is a mediocre bed and breakfast. It was literally impossible to access, as it was steep dirt roads going down a cliff, which was terrifying. Not only is it inaccessible without a 4x4 vehicle, but there was no prior information provided about this requirement. We tried driving until we deemed it too dangerous and then called the hotel, only to be informed that they would have to pick us up as we cannot drive there. After this, they gave us an incorrect room, despite the booking clearly mentioning sea view, and then argued against it, even after showing them the booking details. They only changed the room to what we initially booked, after there was an overbearing chemical smell in the previous room. Lastly, the pool music which could be heard blaring into the rooms was on until 10:30pm, when I had to request to turn it off. The biggest red flag was when we chose to checkout early as we couldn’t stand to stay any longer, they would not drive us back to our car, and wanted to order a taxi that no way would have arrived. They showed a complete lack of concern for guest safety and we had to demand to get one of their 4x4 cars to drop us back as it’s within their responsibility to ensure we arrive safely.

We prefered this hotel for our honeymoon and it was our first time in this area. Hotel and the environment is really unique.Beside the hotel and the environment people made our stay more exceptional.therefore we would like to thank Tümay for hospitality,Ali for the great advise and service and Chef Kadir for amazing food. As they stated at the hotel entrance: we came as a friend and we are leaving as a family:)
