Reviews
The resort had many highlights, including beautiful private beaches, a great pool, and a relaxing, private atmosphere that wasn’t too busy during the off season. The food options were excellent—although they didn’t change much day to day, everything was fresh and delicious, and the servers were always attentive and helpful. The burgers at the outside pool bar were especially good. Housekeeping did a wonderful job, and the room itself was beautiful with a large bathroom (though it was disappointing that there was no iron or steamer unless you paid extra for dry cleaning). The rooms were very dated with small TVs and no new technology. The resort also had fun nightly entertainment—Rosebud Bar was a standout with its live music—and the abundance of cute kittens around the property was a delightful touch. The cherry juice was the best, and bowling was a fun addition, although the game and arcade room was closed off, musty, and warm so we didn’t stay long in it.
On the downside, the front desk staff were somewhat standoffish and not very friendly, especially when asking questions about how to get to Bodrum city / the city in general. Ordering food via QR code often took a long time, and servers left food at the bar without letting us know it was ready, as they did not deliver it to us and we had to get the cold food ourselves. The outdoor pool wasn’t heated, and the indoor pool appeared to have mold on the walls and unclean floors. Non-alcoholic drink options were limited to about 4–5 mocktails, juices, and sodas—more variety like smoothies would’ve been nice, especially for a Muslim country. The Mexican restaurant was a major disappointment: the food didn’t resemble Mexican cuisine, everything seemed thrown together, and the chicken was undercooked and inedible. The buffet was much better, making restaurant reservations not worth it. Lastly, guests should note that Uber isn’t available from the resort—you’ll need to call a taxi and pay in Turkish lira, which can be exchanged at the front desk.
Overall, the hotel was beautiful and the nature was a great soul cleanser. Thank you for a beautiful week.
