We were very impressed with these apartments having stayed there twice previously. The staff made the holiday truely memorable and we made lots of friends. The apartments are situated near enough to the busy resort of Gumbet and Bodrum but far away to enjoy the quieter side of the holiday. Murat, Mehmet,Foruk, Billy,Max and all the staff were brilliant Nothing was too much trouble. If you want a relaxing holiday this is the place. Already booked for next year.

very disapointed with makumba no jimmy and jonny as written in other reviews staff not aloud to join in with any fun with the guests.bathroom very small trouble with ants in room when reported nothing was done. Bitez was very expensive compared to other turkish resorts we have been to only thing we enjoyed was the fantastic weather don't let this put you off turkey usually a great place to visit !!!!!

There were 3 adults on this holiday as my friend Milly had joined us for a break having been a bit poorly.We were told we would have a large family room,but when we arrived the room was very small,with 3 single beds in a row,1 of which was right in front of the wardrobe,which meant we had to push the bed sideways to open the wardrobe door.The hotel didnt have a larger room to offer us so we made up our minds to cope as best we could,& I have to say,it caused some hilarity,arranging changing clothes etc,but we worked out a routine which worked ok for us.The hotel is very pleasant,set among lime trees which perfumed the air beautifully,& there were 2 pools 1 large with loungers & umbrellas free of charge.The cooking facilities were very basic with a tiny hotplate,no pots,but there were plates etc.The hotel has a nice restuarant which served excellent cheap breakfasts & lunches,but the evening meals were not so good.Bitez is small,but has a great selection of restuarants,so we were not stuck for places to eat at night.The hotel staff are very friendly,& worked extremely hard at seeing everyone was happy.It was clean,& we were kept well supplied with linen & towels.Bitez is well placed for trips,which we booked with a local company down by the beach,& they were very much cheaper than the reps tours.Bitez is not a place for night life,but its very close to Bodrum where most of the younger guests would head for.Txis are cheap,& the bus services were good,stopping right outside the hotel door.I would recommend this hotel,but not if theres more than 2 sharing a room.I dont know how people with young children would manage comfortably.There were no kids when we there staying,but the size of the rooms could cause problems I would think.

The Makumba Apartments are great. We first visited them in 2003 and liked them so much we have been back every year since and have booked for 2007 already. We always go in the half term break in May so its never very busy and you can easily get a sunbed round the pool. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We have made friends with lots of the staff and also people in the restaurants in Bitez. They always remember us and its nice to feel special!. We have also made friends with other guests and we all tend to go the same two weeks.
The kids love it too. They have 2 swimming pools and they can wander around the grounds and you don't have to worry about them. They love it when the staff remember their names and they make a big fuss of them.
I would definately recommend the Makumba to anyone looking for a relaxing and friendly place to spend their holiday.
