We decided to have 2 weeks in the Marina Vista as our apartment was being used by friends. What a wonderful time. The hotel is lovely - the staff are great - and the breakfasts outstanding. It is in a prime location and even has its own car park which is serviced by security. The pool area is so peaceful and sedate. You get frozen face towels and fresh fruit as you laze by the lovely pool. There is also a snack bar that serves lunch so you don't have to go far. The rooms are nice but the balconies very small - but then they don't need to be any bigger. We are going back again next year and highly recommend it.

Great location, lovely rooms, staff the rudest people i have ever had the misfortune to come across, rooms not cleaned for 1 whole week, only bed was made and towels changed, min bar was never changed and apparantly the hotel did not stock ice that you can take to your room. I noticed a distinct difference in service offered to British guests (poor) as opposed to other nationalities.

Even if the staff were nice the hotel would only be classed as a good 3 star definetly not 4, certainly not by British standards.

Only has internet access in hotel lobby so if you need to do any business while you are there forget about it. i cannot remember the last time i checked into a hotel room that didnt have access to the internet.

If the staff were to go on a training course on how to smile this would make the hotel worth the money, however if you dont mind what the staff are like then the hotel is worht the money, a nice budget hotel.

I must say, the hotel is much better than it looks from the pics on the web. They should update their website photos because they are loosing out big time. I would give the hotel 5*, but unfortunately the service is not up to standard for this type of rating. Not only do the staff not understand ANY english, but they are actually quite rude and forgetfull. There are obviously some exceptions like the Spa staff that are quite friendly and a few cleaning ladies but the rest honestly need to be fired. The pancake guy should be the first to be kicked out - you can order pancakes to be made during breakfast but this guy makes what he wants when he wants ...so you can stand there waiting for it more than 10mins. The receptionists are appauling - we asked them to call emergency after seeing a family boat sink in the Marina late at night, we thought someone could be sleeping there and could possibly be drowning. The receptionist didnt want to call because according to him "thats what we do in Turkey" - let them die i think he meant! The swimming pool is amazing and so are the rooms - they are medium sized but quite modern. Location wise it is the best hotel you can pick from in Bodrum.

We couldn't believe as we walked in the hotel. The pool is stunning, the entrance, the rooms are brand new... The renovation is still being made, one can tell by a few workers around, but it is already brand new and wonderful. Best bet in Bodrum, since prices I believe are not up to the hotel. The only problem is the lack of English-speaking staff.
