The hotel is really located on the border of Bodrum's Turgutreis and Gumusluk districts, across the sea with the Greek border, more precisely with the Greek islands of Kos Pserimos Kalymnos Leros, which are very clearly visible from the hotel's beach and hotel rooms and hotel restaurants. In addition to the Greek islands, a small Turkish island with a bakery name Pitta borders the hotel.

1. From Bodrum Milas airport to the Kadikale Resort hotel, on a standard transfer from the tour operator, it will take 1.5-2 hours if the tour operator immediately sends the bus to the Turgutreis area, without stopping first at the hotels in the Yalikavak and Golturkbuku areas, it all depends on the greed of the tour operator’s representatives and how much it saves transfer tour operator.
If you book a private transfer or taxi in advance for $35, then your transfer time will be less than an hour. If at the airport without an order, the cost of a taxi service will cost $ 60-70.

2.

The hotel is located in Kadikalesi, this is a small part of the Turgutreis district of Bodrum. Kadikalesi Kadikalesi area is named after the historical residence or castle of the judge, the remains of this castle are preserved near the hotel and the hotel was also named according to the historical site of the judge's castle.

3. When driving from the center of Turgutreis, you turn left at the beginning of the hotel territory and you find yourself under a very romantic and beautiful arch of flowers and trees

4. The hotel rooms are located on the 2nd-3rd floor of the buildings-houses. The territory of the hotel is built with terraces. Our room was on the 3rd floor with a view of the sea and the islands, in the room there is a 2-bed, a sofa, a table, a TV, a safe (pay at the reception 1.5 euros per day) in the bathroom all bath amenities: towels, shower gel , body cream, shampoo and hair balm, soap, a set of threads with a needle. There are rooms with a view of the remains of the judge's castle.

5.
Pools, the hotel has 7 pools, one of the most popular for beautiful photos is an infinity pool and a pool with a mini waterfall, a pool with slides that is popular for entertainment for children and adults, these slides are not suitable for very young children. The main pool is located right next to the central hall and reception, next to the central pool there is a bar and next to the main restaurant. Only used the infinity pool.

6. Sea, first line, private beach entrance to the beach is not available for hotel guests, on the one hand a platform with bulk sand, then a solid wooden pier, then a pier with very popular wild boars. There is a very small entry with sand, but very uncomfortable, so everyone swims from the platform or pier. Some go to the beach of the neighboring hotel Bodrum Bouqet house there is a beach sunset where there is sand

7.

Beach cabanas, We rented a cabana for two reasons because we stayed for 3 days at the hotel and therefore guests from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova and Kazakhstan take themselves and their friends 6-7 in the morning sunbeds with umbrellas in good places by the sea , and after 7:30-8 am sun loungers for those who slept until 8 am remain almost all in the open sun without umbrellas, who gets up early and umbrellas. We paid 35 euros per day for a boar for 2 people. The cabana has a private small pier and stairs down to the sea, the main large beach corner sofa-chaise under a canopy and 2 sun loungers, there is a stocked mini fridge, a safe and a main separate working wifi.

8. Restaurants and food. Only visited the main restaurant and snack cafe. The food is varied enough dishes of meat and fish, a good selection of side dishes and salads and individual vegetables, a lot of fruit.
In the restaurant, the dishes are clean and the tablecloths are clean, for dinner they try to decorate the tables with cute little bouquets or a candle or flower petals.

9. Location of the hotel, the hotel is located 5 km from the center of Turgutreis, 3 km from the center of Gumusluk and 20 km from the center of Bodrum. In this regard, the hotel has transfers every day throughout the day
- hotel-center Bodrum-hotel
- hotel-shopping center Oasis-hotel
Hotel-Shopping Center Midtown-Hotel
hotel-center Turgutreis-hotel.
Not free, but cheaper and faster than getting on your own by dolmush and municipal buses. The center of Turgutreis can be reached on foot along the promenade that starts near the hotel.

10. Spas, provide various types of massages and spa programs, body wraps, stone therapy, aromatherapy, hair treatments, face and body treatments. I liked the stone therapy, which additionally includes a hammam.

eleven.
Animation, sports animation, children's animation, evening shows, children's disco, disco tours to Bodrum clubs, it's all there.

12. Security at the hotel often checks your electronic cards, especially if you enter the hotel from the entrance, where the beginning of the Turgutreis promenade is located.

13. Wifi is very bad, non-existent. Excellent wifi at the hotel in the beach cabanas


14. Sights, the hotel is located in the Turgutreis area, Turgutreis has its own small port from where there are ferries to the Greek islands of Kos, Kalymnos, Leros. Happy holders of a biometric passport, citizens of Ukraine, for us, an organized trip to the island of Kos for one day costs from 20-21 euros and includes a hotel-port Turgutreis-hotel transfer and one-day ferry tickets Turgutreis-Kos-Turgutreis. For citizens of Russia and Belarus, there is an opportunity to get an island Greek visa and also visit the Greek islands.
There are more affordable and free attractions that you can go to or walk on your own:
- on the uppermost terrace of the Kadikale Hotel there are the remains of the historical castle of the judge;
- if you walk to the Kadikalesi mosque, climb up from the mosque in the area, that is, the old Greek church, the path from the hotel is 20 minutes on foot;
- 3 km from the hotel in Gumusluk there is a popular free natural attraction Rabbit Island to which you can wade through the sea, it is better to drive to the Gumusluk embankment by dolmus which stops if you leave the Kadikale hotel and cross the road;
- 13 km in the Akyarlar region (the neighboring region of Turgutreis) there is an ancient extinct volcano located on Aspat beach, go by dolmus to the stop of all Turgutreis dolmus and transfer to the dolmus to Akyarlar, stop Aspat beach Aspat koyu.
The hotel was visited in order to choose a romantic place for a small wedding ceremony.

The hotel will be a good choice for families with children over 5 years old, for the elderly, and also for a romantic getaway for couples, for active and sporty people. But if you need clubs, shopping and restaurants, then it is better to choose another hotel.
