Was amazing experience It s the second time And i will return the third
Good
I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, making it very easy to get around and explore the area. The rooms were reasonably clean and tidied up every day, which was great. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food—everything was delicious and fresh. The only minor drawback was that it could get a bit noisy at night, which might be something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. However, taking everything into account, it was a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend it
Fantastic stay in a perfect location!
We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful—whenever we had any issues, they resolved them immediately. The location is perfect, right in the town center. Dolmuses (local buses) to Bodrum stop right outside the hotel every 15 minutes, which made exploring so easy. The hotel beach is right next to the property, which was amazing. There is also a beautiful and clean swimming pool, but because the beach was so close and convenient, we didn't spend much time there. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and we loved the themed nights three times a week. A huge plus for us was that both lunch and dinner were served by waiters rather than a standard buffet. Keep in mind that the hotel is mostly for young people, and it was sometimes a bit too loud. Highly recommended!
Very Chic….
We had an average stay overall. There were definitely some positives, but unfortunately the negatives outweighed them enough that we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
The hotel also seems to be mainly geared towards the Turkish and Russian holidaymakers, so the atmosphere felt a little more tailored to that clientele than to a broader mix of guests.
The best thing about this hotel is the location. There are loads of local bars and restaurants within walking distance, which you’ll probably end up using if the hotel food doesn’t improve. There are also quite a few local shops in the area selling bags, clothes, shoes, snacks and drinks. The beach is lovely with great views, and the pool is a good size and kept nice and clean. There were no issues getting sun beds even at 10 or 11am. The drinks were decent quality, and the Pink Pool Party was a lot of fun. The restaurant and evening entertainment area are also really well designed and create a lovely atmosphere. We also liked being able to order food through the app to the restaurant – although it would be even better if you could order drinks at the same time. We also couldn’t fault any of the restaurant staff, as they were all very helpful.
A few things let the hotel down. The surrounding area is quite lively with several nightclubs nearby, so if you’re a light sleeper I’d definitely recommend bringing earplugs. The noise didn’t bother us personally, but it’s worth knowing before you book.
The pool DJ also needs to mix things up a bit. Hearing the same three songs on repeat multiple times every day gets very repetitive after the first couple of days!
The biggest disappointment was the food. It was almost always cold, despite being advertised as freshly prepared. The only consistently hot food we had during our stay was the pizza, which was actually very good.
Another issue was the amount of smoking in the dining area. It really isn’t pleasant trying to enjoy a meal while constantly smelling cigarette smoke. We’d love to see a dedicated non-smoking section in the restaurant, as this became incredibly frustrating throughout our stay.
The bar staff seemed quite young and inexperienced, and when it was busy they could come across as quite rude. It might help to have two staff on the bar making drinks instead of leaving it up to one young lad.
The rooms have clearly been refurbished on a budget. There was loose wiring, dodgy plumbing, and the balconies were tiny. On top of that, quite a few of the sun loungers around the pool were either broken or very worn out.
Overall, we had an okay holiday with some enjoyable moments, but there are too many areas that need improving. Sadly, we wouldn’t stay here again.
