Delta Hotels by Marriott Bodrum in Yalikavak

I visited this hotel with my grandma and my mom. I was very picky when choosing where to stay and decided on this hotel because it had nice photos and a 5-star rating. I had high expectations.

Unfortunately, already on the first day I realized that this hotel would be a big disappointment.

On the second day, a hotel employee came to us and asked all three of us to give them a 5-star review on Google. That was very unprofessional, and seeing all the other overly positive reviews, I honestly don’t believe they’re genuine.

I would personally rate this hotel 3 to 4 stars; it definitely doesn’t meet the standards of a 5-star hotel.

Staff: Most employees speak very poor English, which sometimes made communication difficult. Many of them seemed annoyed or uninterested and made it quite obvious.

Cleanliness: At first glance, the hotel looks clean, but that’s not entirely true. In many places you can see that it’s not well-maintained and lacks attention to detail. As for the room, I wasn’t convinced that it was properly cleaned.

Room: We paid extra for a sea-view room, and I’m really glad we did, because most standard rooms have balconies facing the corridors where people walk by, meaning there’s no privacy. The price difference wasn’t big, so I didn’t mind, but if I hadn’t paid extra, I would have been disappointed. The minibar was completely empty, and the hot water didn’t run properly — we weren’t the only ones with this issue. After about five minutes of waiting, it eventually got warm, but the waiting was quite annoying.
Plus the room had a huge stain on side of the bed. How can something like this even happen in a 5-star hotel??

Service: Room cleaning was done daily, but always halfway — one day they took the bedsheet and didn’t replace it, another day there was no toilet paper, and the next time no bottled water. The cleaning service was always incomplete. Speaking of water, the hotel only provides tiny 0.25L bottles, so you constantly have to ask for more. In other hotels, I was used to getting large 2-liter bottles of drinking water.

À la carte restaurant: The hotel offers one free dinner per week in their à la carte restaurant. If I had paid for it, it would’ve been the biggest disappointment of the whole stay. The dinner was poorly organized, the waiters looked annoyed, and they didn’t clear the plates properly. When we finished our main course, the plates from the first appetizer were still on the table. They barely came to check on us, and I had to wait a long time before they refilled my glass. I expected a dessert, but we never got one, so we ended up going to the all-inclusive dinner afterwards just to get dessert there.We felt ignored by the staff.

Bars: I was disappointed that no bar had a proper cocktail menu. Once, I asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail and explained that I wanted something like a mojito but without alcohol. They gave me a glass of pineapple juice with ice - they made like zero effort. Most od the stuff looked completely annoyed, as if I was bothering them by ordering something. Also, I don’t understand why the beach bar doesn’t serve alcoholic cocktails — you have to walk all the way to the pool bar to get one.

I honestly don’t understand how this hotel has 5 stars. This is NOT what a 5-star hotel should look like — it’s a maximum of 3 stars. I will definitely not return.

The area of Turkey, especially Yalikavak and Bodrum, was beautiful and definitely worth visiting — unlike this hotel.

I think the owners of this hotel are complete ignorants who don’t care about their guests at all — only about saving money and making as much profit as possible with the least amount of effort.

I had one of the worst hotel experiences ever. From the moment we arrived, communication was a nightmare – the staff could not speak English at all, which made even simple requests nearly impossible.

The biggest issue was cleanliness. Despite asking multiple times, our room was never cleaned during our stay. Towels were not replaced, trash was not removed, and the bathroom became completely unhygienic. When we tried to explain, the staff just nodded but did nothing.
For a hotel that charges these rates, I expected at least basic service and cleanliness. Unfortunately, this was far from acceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, or even basic communication.

By far the worst 5star hotel i have ever stayed, stayaway! Staff are not friendly. Although some of the them try their best to please guests most of them constantly argue and swear each other next to guests, when i ask why there’s is always tensions they say they dont have enough basic supplies. none of the staff were happy to he there, shame on On the Beach.com as they advertise and sell this hotel as 5star.
