We have just come back from 2 weeks at the Salmakis - our first holiday in Turkey. I would have to say that overall the Hotel is pretty good but there are lots of steps to negotiate and although there are lifts, you will still have to use steps in addition so I would not recommend the Hotel if you... more

has a great week at the salmakis. went as a family of three with our nine year old daughter. the hotel was clean and tidy throughout our stay. our room was fine with great views of the bay and castle. most rooms would have two or three sets of steps to get to the pool and restaurant. fantastic pool area... more

I was very pleased to spend a week at The Salmakis Resort & Spa from 12-19 May 2008. The resort is beautifully located with a spectacular view of Bodrum Bay. It is difficult for me to understand how this hotel could have had some bad ratings. However we were there at the beginning of the season and our room were... more

We were supposedly given one of the upgraded rooms at the top of the main hotel but it was at the end of the hotel and had a claustrophobic feel to it because of the dark blue & green colours. When we spoke... more

Unfortunately, there were a few problems along the way. Being a picky eater myself (i'm pregnant and my nausea has been very particular about what it will allow!), and of course travelling with... more

Food was extraordinary, beach was lovely and next to the hotel, staff was just great, every single one of them was a person to rembember. (Ilhan, Nasrin, Yasin and many others, thank you!) Many thanks to breakfast cook Recep, whom my children still talk about and his great... more

I booked the holiday for the two of us through Hayes Travel who in turn booked through XL Holidays who subcontracted out the holiday to Kosamar Holidays based in Turkey. This of course made any issues difficult to deal with prior to the holiday starting as neither Hayes or XL wanted to discuss the fact that we had read some... more
