Jasmin Beach Hotel

We - a family of four, 3 adults one 6 year old - went to Jasmin Beach 27th July-6th August. We stayed in one of the older rooms which had everything we needed. However the beds were a bit hard and our 19 year found the day bed very uncomfortable. We only used the main pool area which was fine. We never had a problem getting a sun bed at any time of day but people were putting towels out very early, no idea why! The water slides were good but the landing pool could've been a bit deeper. We would sometimes hit floor with our feet. Our 6 year old got kicked a few times as some of the lifeguards would send kids down before it was clear at bottom.

We only went to the beach once.

Restaurant: Breakfast we mainly just stuck to pancakes, toast or pastries. Lunch and dinner was fine. We always found something to eat. The only problem was waiting for the food to cook at the grill because people would take lots. We ate twice at the al a carte. The food was lovely but you do have to pay for drinks.

There are a good range of drinks available in the bars including cocktails and kids cocktails too.

We had a Turkish bath at the spa which I would highly recommend as relaxing and definitely worth the money. Make sure you have it on your first day to get a better tan.

The staff are all friendly. The cleaner came in every day; the sheets were changed every couple of days. Ann at Guest Relations is brilliant! She will do anything to help you. She also loves wine gums lol!

Can't say much else. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this hotel. We will definitely come back again.

Just got home from a 10 day holiday at the Jasmin Beach and I want to leave a very fair review. On the lead up to the holiday we were reading the other reviews on trip advisor and I think they have done this hotel an injustice. On arrival we were allocated 4 rooms, unfortunately my sisters room wasn’t suitable for her and her children however we were very impressed with how quickly this was rectified by Ann and the team! Once sorted, all of our rooms were faultless. Modern, clean and good sizes. The cleaners are amazing and I have to say, this is the first hotel I’ve stayed in where your towels are replenished daily! The staff are fantastic, we found everyone to be extremely friendly - particularly the bar team! They go above and beyond to make your holiday feel really special. Drinks are standard all inclusive - beer, spirits and a handful of cocktails with soft drinks including Pepsi, 7 up and Fanta they even had slush machines on the all inclusive for 1 hour each morning. While the bar service was great we didn’t like the paper cups that continually leaked everywhere. Food, this was our biggest worry before arriving based on the reviews, our party was large and consisted of 2 children and a vegan so we have very specific needs.. we all ate incredibly well and none of us could fault the food! There was something everyone could eat. Our only criticism about the restaurant was how busy it would get and it was sometimes a problem trying to get a table. Through the day there are plenty of snack bars including fresh pizzas and ice creams being served on the all inclusive at the terrace pool! We did have one free meal at jimmys restaurant and it was good, he was able to adapt the menu to meet our needs and the cocktails up there were great and really well priced. We loved the terrace pool, it was a lot less intense than the main pool and had great facilities for the kids. We found sunbeds did get reserved up there a bit quicker than the main pool though. We also loved the beach and again those sunbeds are free to use however, they also get reserved quickly. The beach is reasonably clean with a small amount of litter. There are lots of dogs on the beach but as massive dog lovers we enjoyed their company! The slides are open for 2 hours a day, one hour in the morning and another in the afternoon. While the slides are great fun, we did feel that activity on them could have been monitored more closely - one member of our party had another guest land on him as they had been allowed down to soon after. With the children in our party we enjoyed the evening entertainment however some nights were better than others. The kids loved the mini disco as well as rubber man & break dancing. A couple of evenings were more in house like karaoke or audience participation, we would chose to go downstairs to the aquarium bar and enjoy the sofas on those evenings. The location of this hotel is fantastic with easy access in to Gumbet on foot along the beach or via the taxi rank out the front of the hotel. Additionally, the Dolmus stops right out the front of the hotel providing easy access to Bodrum also. All in all, this is a good hotel in a great location that is being let down by bad reviews, we will be back! Thank you all of the team at Jasmin Beach!
