Elista Hotel & Spa in Goeltuerkbuekue

Get ready for an unforgettable experience
We stayed 6 nights and overall it was a magical experience further elevated by the kind staff and the cosy surroundings of the town. The breakfast is so good you won’t want to eat for the rest of the day (especially after a Turkish coffee). Although if you find yourself hungry there are plenty of options nearby that serve authentic Turkish cuisine. Would definitely come back!

Very nice staff , quiet location

Elista was absolutely amazing! The location is perfect—just a short walk to some of the best restaurants in Türkbükü like Miam, Ahmet Usta, Çetimek, and Atılay. The complimentary breakfast is top tier, fresh, and such a great way to start the day. But the real highlight is the staff. Kamil at the reception desk was incredibly attentive and made everything seamless, and Eren at the beach bar went above and beyond every single day to make us feel at home. Their hospitality truly sets this place apart. I can’t wait to come back next summer!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Truly Exceptional Stay at Elista Hotel, Bodrum (25–31 July 2025)

I had the pleasure of staying at Elista Hotel in Bodrum for a business trip from 25th to 31st July 2025, and I can honestly say it was one of the most heartwarming and memorable hotel experiences I’ve ever had — all thanks to the incredible staff and their exceptional hospitality.

From the moment I arrived, Kamil and Bayram at the reception greeted me with such warmth and professionalism. They were always helpful, attentive, and made everything run so smoothly throughout my stay.

A very special mention goes to the wonderful couple, Madina and Azad — they are not only deeply hard-working, but also radiate positivity and kindness. It was a pleasure to see their dedication each day.

Suraya and Ali also brought so much care and kindness to their work — always with a smile, making guests feel welcome and truly cared for.

The beach club team deserves high praise: Muhammed Abdullah and Eren were amazing, always ensuring everything was perfect by the sea — from setting up sunbeds to offering the best beachside service with genuine smiles.

Then there’s Fatih, the beach club manager, who brought the vibe alive every single day with his brilliant music choices. I absolutely loved the tunes. His son, Gabriel, is a clever, kind, and delightful boy — I truly enjoyed our chats. He’s a young man full of charm and intelligence!

And last but not least, the owners — a lovely mother and son duo — made my stay feel like visiting family. Their warmth, generosity, and willingness to spend time with guests made a huge difference. They are the heart and soul of this beautiful place.

This wasn’t just a business trip — it became a beautiful memory filled with kindness, laughter, and the best of hospitality. Thank you to the entire Elista team — I’ll definitely come back

Loved everything about this hotel — super friendly staff, beautiful design, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Great facilities and overall a very pleasant experience! Highly recommended!

American traveler here. This hotel is lovely! I highly recommend staying here! The service is exceptional. The location is in the center of Türkbükü. Next door to many restaurants. Breakfast is served daily and tastes delicious. The staff is welcoming and goes above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent stay. The sun deck is the best in Türkbükü. It has beautiful views of the water and many boats to look at. Swimming in the sea is great. Try the signature cocktail! Very delicious! Kamil is a wonderful host. We enjoyed getting to know him and the wonderful staff! The rooms are very clean and so is the entire property. Communication was easy even though we didn’t speak Turkish. We will visit again someday!

Good location, clean beautiful sea

I couldn’t wait to share how special this place is. From the very beginning — even before we arrived — we were welcomed not just as guests, but as if we were returning friends. The booking process over WhatsApp was smooth and kind, with Kamil and Bayram at the reception being incredibly helpful and efficient. Knowing I was traveling with my 80-year-old mother, they even sent me a video to show the exact steps and entrance — such a thoughtful gesture that made us feel safe and cared for before we even stepped into the hotel. Once we arrived, that same spirit continued. The entire team may not speak fluent English, but their kindness, generosity, and heartfelt attention spoke volumes — far more meaningful than words. Every single member of the staff was warm, present, and genuinely attentive, especially to my mother. Their care made all the difference in our stay. ⸻ Room (S01 – Honeymoon Suite): Every detail has been thoughtfully considered — from soft-close drawers and bedside sockets to a serene balcony with both sunrise and moonrise views. There’s a cozy little gourmet corner with kettle, teas, coffee, and fridge. The bathroom is compact but perfect, with excellent water pressure and lovely, high-quality products (the shampoo and shower gel smell divine). Housekeeping was spotless — our room was taken care of daily by two kind, attentive ladies (Suraya and Medine) who never let us run out of water, towels, or anything we might need. 💧 It’s a wet-style shower — so yes, the bathroom floor can get wet if you’re not careful 😂 But it’s the same in my own home, so I felt right at home! 😉 I brought my laptop to watch films and series and ended up not even needing the TV. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly. 👉 A thoughtful detail worth mentioning: The sliding glass door to the balcony is sound-insulated, which is ideal since Türkbükü is a lively area — yet inside the room, it feels calm and quiet when the door is shut. The air conditioning is also cleverly designed: it only activates when the balcony door is fully closed, which not only helps with energy efficiency but also ensures that the room stays cool effectively. You can easily control the temperature and fan speed — everything works smoothly and intuitively. ⸻ Breakfast is a true Turkish feast — varied, generous, fresh, and delicious. The pool stays warm from the sun all day — my mum loved it in the late afternoon before sunset. ⸻ The Sea Deck — a hidden gem: The deck area is pure bliss. The sea is calm, crystal clear, and truly feels like a private pool. The gentle steps made it super easy even for my 80-year-old mother to enjoy a refreshing swim. There’s a shower right after, and the whole setup is serene and simple. But what truly made this area shine was the wonderful host at the deck — (Fatih— who, by the way, wears the coolest shirts in Türkbükü). He is kind, attentive, and incredibly generous with his time and energy. Not only does he care for the guests with sincere warmth, but he also
