We stayed at this hotel in August 2023. I would rate it a C minus.
Among the advantages: delicious and varied food, very clean pool, close to the beach, wonderful guys at the reception.
Unfortunately, there were more disadvantages. The rooms are tired (very weak air conditioning, old plumbing, leaky bed linen can be made), cleaning for show, towels are changed only if asked several times. There are not enough sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach at all. And there, big dogs will rest with you, who constantly bark at passing cars. Beach towels are not provided.
In general, the hotel is OK to just spend the night there and stop by to eat. You should not rely on the service. I definitely do not advise families with children because of the dogs on the beach and the lack of animation.
We rested at the hotel on 1-11.08.24. Considering the peculiarities of our stay in Bodrum, we were ready for the absence of a hotel beach. We refused lemonade and sunbeds from neighboring hotels and went to a wild beach, which gave us a 30-minute walk and a clean lagoon. But if you want to lie down by the sea in the evening, public sunbeds are free.
By the numbers: the photo is true, the staff cleans, washes, changes towels. Definitely not every day, but we kept order ourselves.
Meals: for a good 4, there is a choice. No ice cream. Like in the dining room. All the comments above are correct. The transitions were not stressful. We went down where there was more air. Bar: beer, red wine -we liked them, they are not diluted, but like everywhere else in Turkey-a beach (lighter) option. The guys at the bar tried their best. There was no animation. The guests are the local population, the music was blaring just for them)
Of the minuses: the declared sauna and hammam did not work, they were ready to take them to a nearby hotel for an additional fee, but they chose this hotel precisely because of this feature…
The exit from the hotel is 5 minutes to the sea and the beach, but you immediately run into garbage containers. Plus, the construction site is frozen nearby. No complaints about the hotel, but the dumpsters are asking to hide))
Dolmushi bus stop is nearby. Bodrum is 35 lira and 25 minutes away. This is a plus)))
As a result, being an optimist, I will give the hotel a good 3)))
The average "four".
The staff does not know Russian, some speak a little English.
It is located 3 minutes from the shore. The "private" beach is the beach of the Kasandra hotel, sun beds and umbrellas are free of charge. The "beach bar" in the descriptions of travel agencies is the bar of the same Casandra, across the street from the beach. You can use it without restrictions.
The food is usual for such hotels, fresh and pickled vegetables, two or three meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Mostly chicken, of course, but beef a couple of times a week. Fruits include watermelons, apples, oranges.
The bar's assortment includes soda, juices from concentrate, beer, red, pink, white wine, vodka, gin. Vodka is warm, as it stands on the counter, while immediately trying to pile ice into it and add water😁 Attempts to explain that the place of vodka in the refrigerator did not give any result.
There is no animation. After 15 minutes of laziness, the mini-disco is designed mainly for Turkish children from 3 to 7 somewhere, although Aram-zam-zam and small ducklings can be danced regardless of nationality. Then there is not much loud music, to which everyone is sitting on their phones.
