I am writing this on behalf of my inlaws who went here last week. Oh My Gums where do we start! this place needs a good clean, wouldn't give the food to a pig and the staff if they had smiled would have cracked their faces. If you are into malt vinagar then drink lots of the wine, and if you want loads of excerise this is the place as there are stairs to every section of the hotel. They call this a 4 star we would personally give it a 1 star as this is not worth the money we paid and the standard of this hotel is more like a hostle.

If you do go then take your own towel, bed sheets, BBQ, mini bar, food, fresh juice, hotel, bed and entertainment as this was also very poor. 1 good thing is you can get a good beer.

We booked this holiday through Media Travel and is was totaly misold to us we are now going down the route of complaining as this was the worst holiday we have ever been on. We would never go back to this hotel and it did not leave us with a good impression on Turkey as we also couldn't get hold of the rep ( which we had to call from our hotel phone 3 calls £15 )

Never, never again. We will stick to real 4 star hotel. Rubbish!

If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

This hotel is great value for money.The hotel was kept clean as were the rooms.The staff were really friendly and helpful.Got this holiday on the internet and could not fault it.The food was average but plenty of it

My boyfriend and I have just got back from staying at this hotel for 2 weeks in Gumbet and we had a great holiday there.

I was a little worried because of all the bad reviews on this hotel but these people are just being really picky. For what we paid for it, it was good. You want a better place, then pay more. We got there around 6 am so I was not in a good mood anyway from flight being delayed and such, the reception staff there were not very welcoming and could hardly speak english. (In comparison to the rest of the hotel staff).

Our club room was fine, a little small but we didnt care, we wouldnt be spending that much time in it. Our air con worked fine which was good and everywhere was clean and tidy. Housekeeping came everyday and gave us clean towels and blankets, the sheets were changed a couple of times a week. The shower always leaked because the seal was rubbish and out mat was always ringing wet after, but as the maid changed it everyday it wasnt much of a problem.

The food was okay and there was a big selection, always all kinds of salad, different meat each day and vegetarian dishes. I never got up for breakfast but my boyfriend said that it wasnt brilliant. After a while it gets repetative so we did spend money out in restaurants a few times, a little more than you should have to on an all inclusive holiday but it was okay. The drinks were okay, they had (watered down) vodka, gin, raki, wine, beer, pepsi, sprite and fanta. You have to pay after 11pm even though you've been standing in the queue at 20 minutes to 11. One night my boyfriend approached the manager about it and he just pretended he didnt understand and walked off, this was really rude.

Entertainment was okay, sometimes a little boring and if you've stayed there a week then youll be watching the same thing the next week. There is a lot of german, dutch and russians there so he did say a lot of things in other languages and it got frustrating at times. And there was definitly favourtism going on at times. They had a bingo night, turkish night, mrs bodrum art, mr bodrum art and a couples night. One night they had a moonlight cruise around bodrum which came to 34 lira for both of us. This was a complete waste of money and they made it sound so good when they were selling it. We went to a small boat, had to take off our shoes, sit on these damp small cushions and in complete darkness for 3 hours while the entertainment guy fell asleep. on the friday they had a beach party but we never went because of how bad the cruise was.

There is 3 pools, one by the bottom bar that does play the same music all day, a quieter one which we always went to, and one at the top near the main hotel but we never went to it. The pools had ants nests around them near some of the walls which wasnt very nice.

The photographer is rubbish, he took us to the beach and some were nice but he has no idea about colour casting or exposure. I only brought some of ours because I know how to correct them on computer software. The photographer, the hairdresser, the entertainment and the turkish bath guys come around everyday bothering you which was a little annoying.

Gumbet is really nice and this hotel being on a hill is not a problem as there is a bus every 5 minutes. Also a free shuttle to the bitez beach at certain times. We had a great holiday here and you will too if you are not too picky about small things.

Hi to Jane and Peter if your reading this! ;)

We have just got back from Turkey where we stayed at the Art Bodrum Hotel. We were at bit worried at first as most of the reviews we had read were terrible and we hadn't paid much for the holiday. But I'm gald we booked it as we had a fab time.

The hotel is situated on a hill but the whole area is hilly so there are very few hotels which aren't on hills. We walked into Gumbet a few times to check out the local shops and the beach, this took about 15 minutes. However there is a bus every couple of minutes and this costs roughly £1, if you don't fancy walking back up the hill. The hotel also provides a free bus service to and from the beach everyday with set times.

We stayed in a club room it was a bit small but was vey clean and tidy, the maid came everyday to clean the room and gave us fresh towels. We only stayed a week and the bedding was changed every other day. We had a patio area which was a good size and had a table and 2 chairs to sit on, the view from here was lovely.

There are 3 nice swimming pools and 3 childrens pools. These were kept clean and there was enough sunbeds for everyone. All have great views of Gumbet.

The food was lovely with lots of variety and everything was labelled so you knew what it was. There was something different everyday to choose from. The restaurant was big and very clean the staff were really friendly. The snack bar had a variety of snacks everyday from 3:30 till 5:00.

You could have as much as you wanted to drink from 10:00am to 11:00pm, this was all local drinks and there was beer, wines, vodka, gin and alll soft drinks and was all really nice.

The entertainment wasn't very good this could be improved but other than this we had a fab holiday and are thinking of going back next year.
