Went again last July. I'll get the few minor bad points done with first:
1. Rooms still need refurbing. Clean, comfortable and everything works, but could do with modernisation a little, and a fridge.
2. Hotel still insist on leaving the upstairs open air terrace closed. This provides a cracking view and a cool breeze to eat breakfast/dinner in, but has been closed for 2 years now. Management take note - you need to get this open again. It seems criminal to have it laying dormant.
3. The guys working the bars are not as good as the old lot. regulars will know what I'm on about.
We have been here 4 years in a row, and will probably be there next year, even if we do go to another hotel half way through. As regulars we now get the ground level rooms with verandas which are nice for evenings.
Hotel - is still of a good standard. Food is still very nice, well prepared (it is still the only foreign destination I haven't suffered from gastro problems...) Grounds still impeccibly maintained. Pool still right size and always clean. No problems getting a bed round the pool any time of the day. It really does tick every box.
Gumbet - still spoilt for choice on restaurants and things to do any time of the day. Good fakes to be had if you look about, and good bartering to be done. Loads of good bars and evening entertainment. Within 5 minutes walk you go from teh chaos of bar street to lying on a 6 foot cushion on the beach. Plus you have Bodrum a 60p 10 minute bus away.
To sum up - great country, great town, great people, great value. Enjoy this country before it goes into the EU (even then it will probably still be our annual holiday destination)
Top tip - venture out to Bitez for a day on the beach. Lovely.
