This was the first time we had been to Turkey and was not disappointed with the hotels location, nor with the hotel. The hotel is very clean, I never saw one piece of rubbish anywhere. The staff were hugely welcoming each and everytime they saw you, they made it very hard to leave as by the end of your stay, they feel like friends. Sorry it's now time for the down side. The meals were very "samey" which is a huge shame as you had a feeling the chefs had great potential. The breakfasts were, sorry to say awful, as a British traveller, we like something that suits our tastes, other nationalities were catered for with what seemed a huge variety - we Brits don't like salad at this time of the morning. I thought the beer and wine were great, very tasty and seemed to be of a very good quality - bottled water is always served with every meal without you asking for it - very nice touch. The entertainment was terrible, never have I ever seen a bar empty so fast when a guitarist came on - very sad. The constant rap music was not so bad, I just don't think they have realised it has a huge amount of swearing in the lyrics!! not what you want when you're trying to relax. There is a shortage of sun loungers and places to sunbath, we were forced to go on to the hotel next doors sunbeds, only to be frog marched off the very next day after they said it would be okay for us to use theirs, we resorted to cushions on the lawn - this was actually very nice. The staff were very accomodating in sorting us out with loungers. What would be nice at this hotel is somewhere comfortable to go on an evening, the chairs around the hotel are very uncomfortable, there are place to go outside that are comfy, you just have to be prepaid to be eaten alive by the mozzies and wrap up warm - it gets very cold at night. All in all, I feel way too much detail has been paid in pleasing our European neighbours and not enough on the British needs - real shame. I did enjoy my holiday, I'm just not sure I would stay here again - nor would I recommend it - sorry, only a few changes would make this a dream hotel.

Great hotel, wonderful location, great, friendly, helpful staff (excluding management), but poor management resulted in a disappointing experience. We stayed the last week of the season and the week was spoilt by the apparent watering down to a farcical extent of almost all of the alcohol provided as part of the 'all-inclusive' deal. By the middle of the week, the wine on offer was little better than coloured water. After a mass protest by guests in the restaurant, the situation improved a little, but 24 hours later they seemed to be back to their old tricks. The food was also boringly repetitive, leading to the game - 'guess what colour sauce the chicken will be in tonight?' We liked the idea of 'adults only', although the almost constantly blaring rap music round the pool did little for peaceful relaxation and didn't seem to match the age group of most of the guests. Would we go again - probably, but not during the last week of the season.

Had a great time at this hotel. The rooms are extremely clean (cleaned daily) and spacious, flat screen tv and power showers and the towels are changed every day. gorgeous views. The staff are super friendly and the food is really good - massive buffet selection. We went for 2 weeks and didn't get bored of the food. Cute little boat to Bodrum - 5 turkish lira. Fantastic value for money and a great place for relaxation.

I stayed at Hotel Charm, as it is known (there is a review under this name too) in May 2005. The hotel is modern and clean, rooms tastefully decorated with flat panel Tvs, fridges and airconditioning in the rooms, sheets and towels seemed to be changed daily.

There are 3 bars, serving food and 'local' drinks pretty much all day ~ I think free alcohol was served till midnight. Tuborg, the beer on tap, was not the best, but was certainly drinkable. The buffet lunch and dinner was good with plenty of salads and cooked food, including kebabs and other meat cooked on demand at a grill most nights.

The hotel grounds are nicely landscaped, and although there is not a direct walk to Bodrum town centre except by a hilly main road, there are boats that will take you across the bay for about (2.5YTL) 60p which run most of the day - a late night taxi home won't cost you more than about (10YTL) £4. The hotel is also walking distance to Gumbet.

All in all, a really nice destination with a wide variety of age groups, but with a no children policy.
