Reviews
That said, there are a few downsides. The Wi-Fi isn’t strong, especially in the rooms, which can be frustrating if you need to stay connected. Also, the walk from the beach back to the rooms can feel quite long and uphill, especially if you’re staying on the third or fourth floor. As for the food, it’s fine but could be a bit more flavorful. the snack bar by the pool actually has tastier options than the main restaurant.
Despite these, Salmakis is a great place to relax, enjoy the sea, and have a comfortable stay. With slightly better Wi-Fi and food, it would be perfect!!
The breakfast is crap. It's from 7am to 11am. Arrive after 10 am. There is only sweets and cheese left. Staff is not helpful or even willingly to get an option. All they say is no more finish. Luckily, I always pack proteins for these situations.
Try asking about arranging a private car for my next stop. They want only luxury transport. Found online cheaper transfer.
The beach is a hike from the reception if that is where you are staying.
Do not recommend it.
Worst stay at a hotel which ruined the whole 7 nights.Never again will I stay at this 5 star hotel.
They are so professional when it comes to costumer experience, as if you have any concerns they will do their best and solve it immediately .
Cleaning was impeccable, everywhere in the hotel and the housekeeping will clean the room every day .
We enjoyed so much the spa , as it has jacuzzi, sauna , steam room .It was our best and unforgettable experience trying Turkish bath , thanks to the ladies who took care of us there .
Big thanks and regards to all staff and everyone who contributed to our beautiful journey in Turkey , definitely I recommend it ,and will come back soon .
Overall we ended up having a very nice stay. The staff were excellent and the location whilst out of town it was excellently serviced by a lovely water bus that run from early in the morning till very late at night and only took 10 minutes to the center of Bodrum. The food was decent but I think could be improved. The main point to note is the hotel is quite dated. I thought there were enough staff around but I think management should be more on top of them. Often you see the staff chit-chating whilst areas need to be cleaned or tables remain too long before being cleared.
