After reading a lot of reviews on this site, we were apprehensive about going to the Karahmana Beach Resort (not Garden Resort) and so I'd like to add my own comments here. We went for a week of diving using Pioneer Divers which is on the site. Before we went we were amased to find most of the photos show... more

We went away looking for a break from the usual grind of Christmas in the UK and with the intention of snorkelling and diving. We were pleased with the standard of accomodation and the food in the restaurant was always of a good standard with the staff helpful and polite. We were amazed at how quiet the resort was, but... more

gardens and location are great,ideal for snorkel and diving.rooms very tired as are the staff.more gardeners than waiters! watch what you eat and be prepared for you know what.we are recovering from salmonella. all notices in italian,no entertainment. be prepared to stockpile water as only given at meal times by the bottle. you have to pay for drinks in the... more

This is an Italian 3 Star Hotel / Restaurant. The place was crowded with Italians. The Rooms may do / It looks like you're in Bedrock, and you may feel Fred Flintstone or Barney Rubbles. About the restaurant, mind, look at the door where personnel comes in and out of the kitchen, beware....of what is behind !! When I got... more

"two beers please" "i have no glasses" came the reply,we got the same reply all week . when i asked for... more

After reading some of the reviews i would like to put my view accross on this fab resort. Our holiday was mid March 2009 and was purely a leisure holiday. Transfer from airport to hotel was only about 1/2 hour but seemed to be a lot faster. On arrival the main problem was you had to find your own way... more

The Hotel: the rooms were the most spacious we've ever stayed in, cleaned everyday etc. The bathroom was 'tired' but hey..who goes on holiday to spend time in a bathroom. The grounds are fabulous, well maincured gardens with a rich variety of plantings. The staff were great and couldn't do enough to help you. The food: Nothing much to rave... more

We always read the comments on this site befor booking and were not disapointed here, however I did find some of the comments misleading, so I will try to be clear. The hotels rooms (usually in seperate blocks of four: 2 up 2 down) are spacious and include fridge and TV. There's also a dressing area with plenty of hanging,... more

The hotel is amazing, the staff are wonderful and the food is excellent. What more can one ask for? Loved it and would definitely return. We spent the week mostly snorkelling, either off the jetty, the hotel beach or at Abu Dabab. We saw loads of fish, a ray, a turtle and a dugong. In between snorkelling, we were mostly... more
