Gündoğan Holidays from AU$3,420

We loved this property, but it does need some renovation to the second outdoor swimming pool which wasn’t available. We were also given no warning about The Beach facilities not being available and we were told there was a shuttle service to and from The Beach but this also wasn’t available. It was disappointing as we wanted a beach holiday. The hotel was lovely, but we probably wouldn’t have stayed there if we had known there were no beach facilities. We had to make our own way down to the beach and pay for sunbeds. Not appropriate when that is not made clear on the website.

I visited the property during the peak summer season, it felt like they were a little understaffed. It took an hour to to get towels after calling for them three times and the rooms were dated. They offered buggy services to get around but there was always a huge line to get one.

The building and services we received was fantastic! There were a few issues around getting our orders right at the restaurant - one suggestion would be for the waiters to read through the order before they head to the kitchen. Other than that the dining experience was fantastic - we weren't able to visit all the restaurants due to some of them being closed. The only other issue we had was the prices of extended services, spa/watersports, on site store, the markups are around 300% and massages are €300 per person which is something ive never experienced staying at similar level hotels.

We had a great time at Rixos Bodrum with our 3 year old son. Best bits: The beach was perfect for us. Beautiful water, calm, sandy, backing on to natural olive and palm trees. The rooms were large and comfortable and had everything needed. The place generally had quite a premium feel. Service was good, staff go out of their way to help you. Holiday assistant is a good concept and Yelda and Berkan were always there to help us with any requests. Everything else was really good too, except for a few points that could have been better… We were attracted to the hotel’s natural setting and were disappointed by the road noise you could hear from the balcony on the room. They did try their best to move us to another room further from the road but none were suitable as either had no view or were in very busy part of the hotel next to the lobby. Ultimately we put up with the road noise. Most of the a la carte restaurants were expensive addons. We knew this so can’t complain but do think it is something they should address by offering lower rates or perhaps a limited number of visits with no charge.

Hotel is smth out of this world: amazing territory, style of the rooms, food… It’s tte best hotel we stayed in. Food: main restaurant has so many food options, it’s impossible to try all. And every time the chef welcomes you at the entrance.. Rooms: we stayed in deluxe rooms - we had jacuzzi, access to the swimming pool. The rooms are huge, you have your own walk-in wardrobe, very comfy bed. Although they are a bit dated. Territory of the hotel: is beyond everything I’ve seen. Foundations everywhere. Many electric buggies for those who cannot walk. We had photo session with the professional photographer from the hotel - super nice photos, very happy. We also had a couple of medical incidents. 🙈 so we had a chance to meet the local doctor, who was super helpful and organised a special car from the private hospital they work with. Everything was seamless. Especial thanks to Adile - the lady was assigned to our help, and was helping us with literally everything. In this hotel, when you check in, you are welcomed by a member of staff who speaks your mother tongue. Then during your whole stay you can ask any questions via WhatsApp. It’s super convenient. Adile was assigned to our group. She welcomed us at the vestibule, offered drinks on comfy sofas, took our passports and checked-us in while we were having coffee! Level of service is just brilliant. We then had some questions about cleaning, etc, and they were addressed through WhatsApp immediately (max within 10’).
