Kibala Hotel - Boutique Class

After a busy week in frenetic Istanbul, arriving at the Kibala was a welcome respite. Set amongst the gardens guests are greeted by hammocks in front of rustic but well-appointed cabins. I slept so soundly there. It seemed as if the owner Bulent had thought of everything and he was very helpful at suggesting local attractions or arranging transfers. But it was the food that made our stay at the Kibala an experience I will never forget. We were so impressed with the first night's dinner that we booked dinner at the hotel the remainder of our stay. Bulent should be given a couple Michelin stars. This man cooked the best fish I have ever eaten. Then the next morning we were blown away by the included breakfast service. It was a work of art. The whole experience was top-notch and I felt the staff was genuinely friendly. Seljuk was especially helpful. What a smile this kid had. The Kibala ended up being a highlight of my vacation.
