My wife and I stayed at this hotel last year. We chose a hotel for a long time: we wanted to find a rather secluded hotel and at a reasonable price. The reviews wrote a lot about bad food, bad rooms and animation, but in reality everything turned out to be fine. The food was excellent, the dishes were varied, a lot of sweets. The hotel rested mainly the Turks themselves. In general, the hotel itself left a good impression, but...
I don't know why none of the tourists, not even our travel agent, told us about the disgusting sea!! ! There are yachts and boats in the Gumbet Bay, which is why the water was muddy, dirty, and even at a great distance from the shore. So dirty that you can't see your toes when you're already knee-deep in water. It is clear that my dreams of swimming in the clear water of the Aegean Sea have evaporated... I had to book a yacht tour of the bays in order to at least see the clear water and swim a little in it.
Usually we do not write reviews about hotels, but this time we left it so that you know about this huge minus of staying in this bay (we saw beautiful water and beaches in other places in Bodrum).

I would like to sweeten the pill by saying that the hotel has a large pool, but this is not so: the pool is small and it is impossible to take a seat near it during the day.
