Visitor Reviews of Kartalkaya


Askin Senel from TURKEY writes:

Kartalkaya is my favourite. The snow quality is high.
There are 3 hotels that belong to 2 groups. I prefer Kartal hotel pistes and like them more (they have more piste alternatives too). However, Dorukkaya hotel pistes are also good and definately worth experiencing.
Kartal otel is looking after well to the pistes. Koroglu pistes, when operations are very much fun and excitement to the experienecd skiers.
The problem with Kartalkaya is fog. The foggy days are not rare unfortunately, which sometimes makes skiing impossible. Due to bad weather Koroglu pistes may be more often closed too.
However, hotel food is really very delicious and rich. There is a small pool, and 2 saunas that seem just fine, of course a larger pool would be an asset.
I don't understand why they don't have ice skating facilities. It would be a good alternative during bad weather times when skiing is not possible and would enrich the offering.
The other thing I don't understand and like is why they built the hotels to the top, when they could have built them more down to the valley and could offer much much longer pistes down. Reaching to the hotels would be much easier and hotel costs would be much lower too. This is a general sick approach in Turkish resorts. They limit you to much shorter paths and enjoy niche marketing.
Hotels have some apre-ski facilities, but location is very limited, and might be boring for long stays.
