Hotel small and in need of some updating .Very rustic would best describe the experience .All staff very friendly and willing to please .The rooms basic and could do with some attention especially the bathroom.Relaxed holiday in a chilled out resort .Lots of places too eat food not bad quality but staff in resturants constantly pressure you to eat in their establishment.Great bunch of holiday makers at hotel made up for the lack of facilities , had a great laugh. Swimming pool small , i did not see it cleaned once whilst we were there .Bar ran out of most drinks the second week as it was the end of season , had to buy my own in .Breakfast very poor no juice or water offered and again second week we were on rations !!
Would go back to Bitez for a relaxing week maybe but to a different Hotel.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Orion from 19aug till 2ndSep.The Hotel is small, friendly and next to the beach. Erton(Elton), Sonner(Sonic) were amazing, they made us laugh every day, told us about where to go and not to. we went on a night out together in gumbet and we had a great time and were well looked after. Ben(owner) was also a very friendly guy and even helped us out with something he didnt have to.....many thanks.
The food isnt too good though, they should get a new chef, he never had the things we wanted, took a long time for food, once said i couldnt get a turkish dish because he was too busy, we got steaks you could smash a window with.....pathetic!!
It was advertised as no kids, however this isnt accurate!
However dont let the complaints put you off, we loved the holiday and the staff, just not the food.
BOOK through the hotel itself though, you pay less, they make more...everyones happy, arrange it through Ben.
Be sure not to take scottish money, nowhere will change it!!!!
Overall, we loved it, Go back next year!!!!
Cheers guys.

My mum and I stayed at the Orion hotel for a week in August and had a superb time. The hotel is small and very friendly, the staff were brilliant and helped to make an ordinary holiday very special. We were keen to have a Turkish bath and the barman at the hotel arranged for us to be picked up from the hotel, taken to the bath and returned free of charge.
The rooms at the hotel aren't huge, but they were clean and adequate for our needs. The pool is smallish too, but as there are so few rooms, and we were so near the beach, there were times when we were the only people in it!
The beach and a wide variety of restaurants are a couple of minutes walk away . It is also really easy to get into Bodrum on a Dolmus (minibus) as they run every 15 mins.
It is well worth trying the food at the hotel, particuarly the lamb saute! The Turkish night was a real giggle too!
I would recommend that people book straight with the hotel rather than through a tour operator as it will be MUCH cheaper and the hotel can arrange transfers.

We have not long returned from Turkey and stayed at the Orion. It is lovely to look at from the outside however we must say that the rooms need quite a bit of tlc. The showers/toilets were particularly grubby with quite a lot of damp mould everywhere. However, I must say on complaining we were moved immediately to another room which was identical but cleaner. The rooms are small, sparsely furnished but adequate as you spend most of the day out anyway. The hotel staff were lovely they could not do enough for you and we ate once there (apart from the daily breakfast) at a bbq and belly dancer night which was very good fun. The only downside is that you are not allowed to pay for anything until the end of the week as no money is allowed to pass hands with the staff! This meant we did not know how much we were paying for things which was a small shock at the end of the week. It is 2 mins from the beach and very safe. Would recommend again (hopefully some tlc on the rooms for next year?).
