4/10
Would not recommend this hotel.
Pros:
- beautiful view
- private and quiet beach, very safe for kids
- good breakfast buffet
- large suite (we stayed at the family suite with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms)
Cons:
- very inconvenient to go anywhere outside of the property unless you have a car. The taxis are not easy to get and the private cars through the hotel is expensive (€60 one way to go to Bodrum)
- it is so expensive to get anything here that it feels predatory (even for someone from NYC where the prices are sky high). They also make it really "in your face" and inconvenient. For example, there's no sunscreen at the beach and the little store next to it sells sunscreen at a 5x mark up (€30 for a small generic bottle). There is no kids toy on the beach/ kids pool and if you want anything - buy from the little store for a crazy markup (€25 for a plastic small water gun). The car service is 50% more than any tour agency will book you (we ended up using an agency we found online to arrange all of our transportation and tours).
- the services were robotic and not thoughtful. The English level of the staff is not great. There are definitely hardworking/ great staff here but overall it's hard to communicate anything beyond the most basic things
- the travel agency they use to book tours for the guests was awful: overpriced and not thoughtful.
- housekeeping is really bad. Left dirty towels unchanged etc.
For this price ($1500+ a night) we expect more.
