A small very well designed hotel with classic (Greek) white cube look and feel located in Bitez bay. A lot of greenery - flowers, eucalyptus trees, etc. Friendly personnel speaks English well enough to communicate. It's very quiet in buildings farther from the restaurant and swimming pool. Not so quiet near the beach - music all day long. The territory is small so don't expect a lot of privacy.
The food is eatable but not for a gourmet. We paid for HB, and had to put up with breakfast and dinners, but usually had lunch in nearby restaurants.
Rooms are big and clean enough. A double bed room has an individual conditioner with a remote control, a TV, a desk, a fridge, a couple of chairs and a small table. A safe box at reception for additional fee.
I think the hotel is well worth the money and is suitable for people who can entertain themselves and are satisfied with basic service.
If you prefer to stay in Bitez bay, you’ll find it’s a quiet place with a lot of hotels, bars and restaurants along the sea front.
There no special facilities for children except the hotel pool , a playground near the marina and a trampoline closer to the mosque. Turkish kids are usually friendly and have no problems playing with foreigners, even if they don’t understand the language of each other.
60-80% of tourists in Okaliptus are Turks. This means if you see somebody’s drunk – it’s a European. Though during a week-long stay I have not seen anybody being drunk, aggressive or rude.

If you want some additional entertainment you can get to Bodrum by dolmush(a route taxi). It costs 2 Turkish liras and takes ~15 min. The route is Bitez-Bodrum, departure from Bitez mosque. In Bodrum you may want to visit Saint Peters Fortress, attend a concert in ancient amphitheatre or dance in a disco of your choice. Two major discos are Halicarnassos with foam show dance and Catamaran – a glass floor boat.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Okaliptus a few years ago and liked it so much we decided to go back!

The best thing about the Okaliptus is that the beach is literally on your doorstep!! The beach isnt particularly big but the hotel provide lots of sunbeds, hamocks and comfy cushions. They're also happy to bring food and drinks to your sun lounger....which is great if you're too hot to move!!

The hotels rooms are spacious and clean with everything you need (air con, hair dryer, fridge, tv, towels etc) and are cleaned daily.

The hotel food is also good...the restaurant is very pretty at night...you must try the hot chocolate cake!

The only downside about the hotel is that the service is a little slow. We would sometimes be kept a waiting quite a while for our drinks.

If you want a nice, relaxing beach holiday, then the Okaliptus in Bitez is perfect!

Happy Holidays!

A lovely hotel right on the beach. Room was large and comfortable with small terrace but no view. Public areas were clean and welcoming. The edge of the beach is covered with huge cushions, hammocks and swings under mature trees.
All the staff are very friendly and keen to practise their English - nothing is too much trouble. Evening drinks in the bar were accompanied by nuts, peaches or, on one occasion, grapes from the vine above the bar!
Breakfast was Turkish(cheese,olives,boiled egg,tomatoes etc) and always fresh and plentiful.
Bitez itself is much more laid back than Bodrum and much quieter than Gumbet, but there are still plenty of restaurants and a few bars and shops. It is very cheap(about70p) and easy to travel to Bodrum by dolmus.
We would love to return.

Stayed here for a few days in July 2004. Overall, a good experience. We moved here after a couple days at the Bitez Han (see my other review). The Okaliptus seemed like the best hotel on the busy Bitez strip. The rooms were clean, pleasant and new, with comfortable beds, modern bathroom, working air conditioners, and nice decoration. The grounds at the hotel have lots of greenery and flowering plants, so it was a joy walking back and forth from our room to the beach or pool. We didn't have any problems with noise as we had a room towards the back of the hotel, but then the flipside is that we didn't have any view to speak of. Also, the hotel has two very big eucalyptus trees by the beach, which are pleasant to sit under at night, sipping a drink. Overall, a nice place to stay, just don't expect a lot of privacy. We went during the peak summer season and found it not really a place to hang back and relax. This is true of Bitez and of the Bodrum overall, the pools and beaches always had good sized crowds. It's a sociable place, good for a bit of sightseeing, and go out at night, but not a place for secluded peace and quiet on the beach.
