After reading the reviews before leaving, I was honestly horrified, and I was already thinking about changing the hotel, but then they took a chance and did not regret it! In fact, the management and staff have changed there, now they clean daily without reminders, wash glasses and ask if it is possible to take a plate from your table. We have no complaints about the service, there was enough of everything, and food and drinks, the food is a little monotonous (although we must admit we don’t eat 7-8 salads and 6-7 cold appetizers at home, so we didn’t have time to get tired in a week), but dinner they tried to diversify the menu. Every day they themselves baked fresh cakes, in short, you will not go hungry with 4 meals a day, that's for sure! There are a lot of steps, it's true, but the main paths are: to the beach and to the restaurant, so it's not scary, just a hotel on a mountainside and nothing else. I missed a normal descent into the water, because. there is a concrete platform, you have to either climb a ladder or jump.
There really isn’t much entertainment, in the evenings you can play either billiards or table tennis, the bartenders and vacationers themselves arranged a disco. By the way, about Helikarnassus, they will convince you that you have not been to Bodrum if you have not been to this disco, do not believe it, there is nothing special about it, and the entrance is 36 Turkish liras (almost 36 dollars). The Catamaran is better, there is a glass bottom and it goes out to the open sea. It is better to book excursions not at the hotel, but at the Director tour in Bodrum, by minibus from the hotel in 25 minutes and for 2.5 lira, from the station where all minibuses stop, go towards the port (along the main street) and after 150 meters 200 to your left you will see a sign, there is Olya, a Russian-speaking operator, she will tell you everything. We went to Ephesus with them (we advise those who love antiquity), by the way, a nice bonus - when ordering a tour, going to the hammam is free! And we also advise you to definitely sail on a yacht - $ 18 for the whole day, with lunch and 6 stops in the most beautiful bays, you will not see such a beautiful sea in a hotel !! ! be sure to take a mask, there are a lot of impressions, what is worth seeing the bottom and fish at a depth of 10 meters! The only warning, keep an eye on your yacht, so as not to fall behind her, enchanted by the beauty of the sea. But even if they leave you, don’t worry, another one will pick you up and transfer you to yours at the next stop. Then demand compensation from the captain in the form of beer, as we did : )
And also, really, take light bulbs with you, the light is dim in the room. The room has a hairdryer.

We were in Turkey for the first time and the rest did not disappoint me, if you don’t sit and wait for the animator to come and have fun, but take your vacation into your own hands, then the Bargilla hotel is a place that provides quality grounds for this. We didn’t worry about the food, and the room, about the safety of our things (there is a safe in the room, $ 2 per day) and therefore, since there was no entertainment in the hotel, we looked for them on the side : ) I mean in Bodrum : ) visit the Bodrum fortress, entrance 10 lire, but there is something to see, but the mausoleum - the entrance is 8 lira and one base is left, so not for everyone. have questions - ask!
Have a nice holiday!
