Located on one of the calmest bays in Bodrum, Gumbet, this beach hotel is the perfect place for anyone who is looking for beach, sun and sea during his vacation. The centre of Bodrum is some 4 km away and Bitez Beach is within 5 km. The tranquil establishment features a blue-flag licensed beach, where guests can relax and be sure that the crystal-clear waters had passed the highest standards of environmental testing. There is also a marina, for those who need a place where to tie their boats. Entertainment guests can head to the nightclub or the bar for something more relaxing. The restaurant buffet offers a variety of dishes for all tastes and the restaurants and bars at the hotel are true culinary delights, gathered traditions and flavours from around the world under one roof. The wonderful decorated and fully equipped rooms are just a sweet combination between business and pleasure.
Beautiful hotel. The view from our room was amazing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great choice of food in the restaurant. No problem getting a sunbed on the decking by the sea. My only complaint is about smoking, It would be ideal if the restaurant had a no-smoking area, nothing worse when you are eating to get someone on the next table smoking! The location of the hotel is at the bottom of a very steep hill and its a bit far to walk out. We had to get taxis to venture out.
Beautiful hotel, big rooms, clear water, fantastic service, a lot of food options, we definitely want to come back π«ΆπΌ well done
Room very clean staff very good night entertainment not very good
The entire resort is beautiful and feels like one huge, luxurious spa. Everything outdoors is incredible, with a very relaxing atmosphere. A beautiful resort that manages to offer both tranquility and fun, depending on what youβre looking for.
Beautiful Sea, Spotless Rooms and Great Service
Our overall experience at the resort was just above average, with several aspects that genuinely stood out and a few areas that I believe could be improved.
What we loved
The sea was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. It was beautiful, crystal clear, and very clean, making the beach one of our favorite places to spend time.
However, what impressed us the most was the service. The staff at the beach bar, lounge, and restaurant were incredibly friendly, communicative, attentive, and always smiling. I would especially like to mention Enes Abi, who deserves special recognition for his excellent service and positive attitude. The staff consistently did their best to make us feel comfortable and well looked after.
Another strong point was cleanliness. Our room was spotless throughout our stay, and the minibar was replenished every day. The common areas around the resort were also always clean and well maintained.
The reception and guest relations teams were very helpful as well. They were always willing to answer our questions and assist us whenever we needed something. We also appreciated that the staff generally spoke understandable English, which made communication very easy throughout our stay.
What could be improved
The main area I would suggest improving is food variety. Although there were different options, the food felt repetitive during our stay. It would be great to have themed dinner nights, such as Italian, Turkish, Mexican, seafood, etc. An outdoor grill or barbecue station would also be a fantastic addition.
The biggest weakness for us, however, was entertainment.
There were very few organized activities or events during our stay. Considering the amount of space available at the resort, I was surprised that there were no regular activities such as volleyball, pool events, evening shows, late-night entertainment, or dedicated shows for children.
There were also no real parties or special events around the pool. I believe having a professional animation and entertainment team could make a significant difference. It would bring more energy to the resort and make the experience much more enjoyable, particularly for guests staying for a week or longer. Without activities, the days can become somewhat repetitive.
This is not simply a matter of personal preference. I am comparing the experience with other similar resorts I have stayed at, including La Blanche Island, MΓΆvenpick, and RAI Premium Tekirova, where the entertainment and activity programs were considerably more developed.
Final thoughts
Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and the beautiful sea, excellent service, cleanliness, and friendly staff were definitely the strongest points of the resort.
With more variety in the food and, most importantly, a much stronger entertainment and activities program, I believe this resort could significantly improve the overall guest experience and move from just above average to truly exceptional.
