Upon looking at prices on the internet, I found the prices to be a lot more reasonable than we were quoted at the hotel. However, the website tatilsepeti had a minimum of 4 nights and I could have only stayed 2. I went to a local restaurant to get internet access because here comes problem number one- their wifi was not working. I was advised to go to another website booking.com, but the prices were similar and I got tired of trying to research online and ended up booking the room with the hotel itself. My advice would to be to book online in advance if you know exactly where you are staying. There are many resorts that are all inclusive so you really need to know what you would like as your location. The room was ok. The resort needs renovation in their rooms, but that was not an issue for me. I picked this one because it was the only one filled with people. I liked that it was busy. Everywhere else was quite as I went there off season. Well the food is ok. They had a lot of choices, but I chose to explore the area and eat in restaurants because I wanted to experience the town and the towns nearby. The drinks are all inclusive if it's domestic which was fine by me because I wanted to explore the local alcohol as well. The pool and the beach are absolutely gorgeous. So here comes problem number 2- the air conditioning did not work in the room with the master bed. We discovered that around 1:30am after we were done frolicking around bodrum. Exhausted, I dialed the little 0 button and asked for for help. Someone arrived right away and could not get the ac to work. Now, were stuck having to stay in the room with the double beds. Nice alternative when you are on vacation with your husband and would really like to sleep in the same bed with him. Please note the sarcasm during this review. I had all of my clothes and jewelry laid out on the beds and staged the little room to be sort of a closet so it wasn't messy. So now, EXHAUSTED, I had to dump everything to make room for us to sleep. So now comes problem number 3, but it wasn't a huge issue because I was able to sleep through it, but if you are a light and/or early sleeper then you may want to consider that you are in a huge club town and they are open until 4am. The noise is loud! Thankfully, the windows block most out, but don't think you can chill on a balcony and enjoy the nice sound of the sea. I picked the place because it wasn't quite so again this was not an issue. So now, comes problem number 4, the floor was wet when I woke up.. Wondering where the puddles of water is coming from, I went to the reception at 9am. 9:45 after speaking with the manager for the second time they arrived. I had a 10am appointment for a boat tour so basically I missed having a sit down breakfast because I was waiting around for the tech guys to show up. So here comes the best part, how about you give me a break and discount the room as I would STILL like to book another night. Not because I loved the place, but I do not want to pack up and move again. (I was in another resort before this one) so the manager offered to give me 10% discount after all this headache. It is a slap in the face, but I did not have time to talk as I had to be at the boat tour at 10am and I was not returning until 5pm. Obviously, I can't move hotels at the point and I'm stuck.
So i left bunch if people in my room whom I don't know to work on the ac and the water problem from apparently the ac that actually does work. So here comes number 5- I get back from the boat trip and I'm not able to enter the room. I go back to the reception and speak with the front desk manager who proceeded to tell me she needed to scan my card for the additional night that I booked, but because I was the one in a hurry did not do so. So you may wonder how long it took her to scan my card for the additional night. Hmmm.. 10 seconds! So this leads to be believe she neglected to do so when I was there earlier that morning. I would have appreciated an "I apologize, I forgot to scan your card for the additional night you booked." When you are in Turkey in a tourist area, you get hassled a lot. The way I see it they need to make money during the season so they make up for it by jacking up the prices and hassling you on the streets. However, I expect the hotel to not bullsh*t me in the process of an honest error. So here's my recommendation: great area, book by pool so it's quite at night and lively during the day. Have a great trip! Absolutely beautiful country. read more
