Checking in, i was shown a room “with private beach access” for which i was asked to pay upfront , 130 euro’s which i paid. They showed me the room which faced the lounge bar playing terribly bad and thumping loud noise. I declined and reverted to my original choosing i.e. private room with sea view and garden. The room was Lovely and this would have made me happy but then, i opened the garden door and the lounge bar playing loud thumping base noise In full volume and so i had to keep my room garden door closed at all times. This deep base noise was giving me a headache! This ended my dream of a quiet beach holiday. I had signed in for 4 nights which i would have to stay indoors and close doors or constantly complain and ask them to reduce the base and noise from the huge speakers!
The room does not come with any fruits, given its a “five star” hotel. Weird.
I asked for a couple of bananas to my room, my night time ritual to eat a banana before bed time. They sent me a bill to pay for it. I mean in my 20 plus years of life holidaying in most countries and five star resorts, this was a first ever, I refused obviously and so there I was with no bananas before my bed on day 1.
The next day a quick trip to the bodrum marina and i had my bananas and some fruits to eat.
All I wanted was a quiet beach holiday where I could read a book and lay on the beach. That never happened. The lounge bar kept its promise to fail me completely. They played this loud thumping and throbbing noise all day from 9am to way past midnight around 1am, nonstop. Terrible bad noise. All day. Every day. Many times i asked them to reduce this noise, which they did swiftly, but in about 30-40 mins would be back load and horrible again. Many of the guests had similar complaints. I double checked if I was the only person feeling this way, and many of the guests agreed and did complain. So it was not just me. But i guess the lounge bar had more powers than the guests! They kept the loudest and i kept complaining. The bar won!
Day 3 i woke up to dead cockroaches, 3 of them! Lying upside down next to my bed! In clear sight. Imagine my horror, swiftly cleaned away with apologies from the a sweet lady in housekeeping and flowers appear in my room! Then i find eyeliner marks on fresh towels. Again, swiftly cleared and new fresh towels are handed with many apologies.
My holiday was here on with this constant noise all through and the fear of cockroaches reappearing dead again, But i had flowers in room?
Pros:
They make amazing food. Lovely chefs. My special thanks and best wishes to Beyza in the restaurant. She was so sweet and caring! Wonderful people who worked in house keeping. Great beach access and adults only makes it a prime property to enjoy!
Spectacular view.
Great bass speakers! They must be proud.
Taxis are readily available.
Cons:
Drinking water is charged here! Absolutely ridiculous.
situated next to an all inclusive budget resort, the noise is intense and party music is constant all night till the early mornings. So there is no “quiet getaway” moment here in this hotel. No romantic destination, this!
no concierge. Horrible senior management and no customer service. Totally failed me.
Seems to me that there are no grown ups running this business!
Not a 5 star hotel. Not even close to a 3 star!
About 30 mins drive from the main bodrum marina and shopping bazaars. So that takes about 200-300 lira each ride.
As they themselves put it via WhatsApp when they connected with me and they are a bed & breakfast only. All other services are paid for. Even water! They charged me for the coffee pods that were in the room. How ridiculous is that?
Such a shame that with a unique location and private adults only access to the beach, gorgeous property, this resort did not deliver its “unique experience” Their website needs address the up selling. Its fake!
Such amazing potential but such terrible management. 3 stars. Mediocre. Over expensive. You can definitely find better resorts for the moneys worth. I would never recommend this place to anyone!
