As many others I was a little worried after reading other reviews, but that all changed once we arrived.
The hotel looks quite small from the outside but is suprisingly large.
Rooms were very clean and comfortable with great views of the beach and gardens which have a family of tortoises.
The Ladybird bar and cozzy beach bar do great snacks at lunch time, as do the aloha bar opposite the hotel . The Ladybird bar will bring you all your drinks and food to the beach , if you can't pull yourself away from your sunlounger. Weather was 37 degrees everyday but when on the beach, there was a constant strong breeze which made it comfortable.
The hammocks and swing chairs are a great way to relax and enjoy a lazy day by the beach front.
We didn't eat at the hotel in the evenings as we enjoy visiting all the nearby resturants , but it was just as cheap to stay at the hotel half board as it was to stay somewhere self catering.
On your last day the maids do a lovely towel and flower display on your bed.
The hotel is in a perfect location if you want to be in the heart of it all, but there is some noise surrounding the hotel which go on until about 2am, but It never bothered us too much or kept us up at night.
Bodrum is nearby about a 10 minute ride on a dolmus , but it very expensive to eat out, for a 2 course meal and 3 drinks costs average of 70 lira in gumbet, but cost us about 130 lira for the same in bodrum as there where lots of added hidden extras.
This was our first visit to turkey and I would definately go back to the Parkim Ayaz as the beachfront location was great.

Booked the parkim Ayaz with a dark cloud over my choice since reviews were not too impressive that i read last year. Well that can change
Parkim Ayaz is in a good location on the beach which has free sunbeds,hammocks,swing chairs,2 large pools one with a slide the other a outdoor jacquzzi,4 bars,free crazy golf,free gym,free sauna,free use of table tennis or other games all this for a 3 star hotel surely not.
The food is good as well both morning & evening meals are changed daily and plenty of choice to cater for all tastes. Hot or cold meals for the evening meal which you are spoilt for choice, weathers its a wide choice on the salad/pasta bar or on the hot main coarse options i am sure you will be well fed i was having four coarse every night.
The bars are good as well the cossy bar is best for entertainment and a relax atmosphere with its big sofas or comfy cushion found around the shaded area near the pool great in the heat of the day for a sleep or generally relaxing.
Bar street is just up the road about 5 min walk up but the hotel is on a main road through Gumbet so has a mixture of bars and shops.
Buses run requlary into Bodrum all for 2 lira and run early in to the morning as well, so all in all a great location for access and entertainment.
If you want a quite room request it when you book it, around the pool they play music espacilly Cossy Bar till around 1am. rooms are small so request afamily room you have more room, we did as i was staying with just a friend so we booked a family room and got a double bed & single bed with balcony and reasonable sized room as well.
I think since its joined with Parkim Palas last year its given the hotel more and i would say please all. As said already if want quite room etc ask for it before you book it otherwise request it when you check in to the hotel, most staff understand english ok as long as polite with it.

Any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thx you Parkim Ayaz for a happy & relaxing stay.

Stayed in parkim ayaz from 22nd june for 1 week, a group of 7 girls aged 18-21.

The hotel was lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, although fairly small. we didnt spend much time in them. The only problem was the aircon that didnt work too well, we reported it and its was fixed?? although not much colder!

The dining hall was busy, and well staffed, with a large choice of dishes.

Pool was fab...we loved the bar and cozzy beach! played music all day. Aqua gym is really good fun usually starts at 11am. Turkish Bath in the hotel is excellent we paid 25ytl each, well worth it.

We usually started our nights in cozzy beach for cocktails and entertainment, (the male belly dancer was an eye opener....anyone who has seen him will know what we mean!!) we had an eighteenth birthday whilst we were there and asked them to organise a table for us with banners, for our dinner. They organised it and a fab cake. Our nights usually ended in Shamrocks our fave! we enjoyed all of the bars especially Shakers, Outback, X and Central bar oh and Mr Frogs Karaoke. (never seen as much choice!)

dont tell the watersports firm opposite the dining hall that youre a professional on the Ringy/Donut things... they take you seriously!!

the little shop under the aloha bar opposite reception sells really cheap water, so stock up!

Beware! the airport (incl duty free) is an absolute rip off, and definitely try to get a seat as soon as you can!

i would like people to read this as while looking into my holiday i looked alot on trip adviser and not everyone liked the hotel in my opinion i think they stayed somewhere else! there was four of us there myself and my boyfriend and another couple aged 21.

firstly peoples opinions on the rooms - granted they are quite small but clean and tidy bathroom again small but cleaned daily and no cracked tile in sight! fresh towels were given everyday and beds always made. Balcony again small but we got four of us around it! Also there was a security box in the room which was activated by a pin code not a key so something you dont have to carry around with you! plenty of wardrobe space too and an aircon you can activate yourself with a self timer too. Tv included with a stop on the sound so will only go so high great for those people who can hear next doors tele full blast usually! Also fridge included with mini bar which you will be charged for, we put our drinks etc in it but remember to remove every morning as they will remove it and you have to wait till the end of your trip to get back.

staff - didnt really interact with them but when we arrived they took our bags to our rooms explained everything always opened doors when came and always seemed friendly.

next the pool - plenty of sun lounges or the beach metres away also very comfy cushions to laze on. pool fairly big with a slide and stools in the pool next to poolside bar. We were told drinks would be quite expensive there but in all fairness not by much. Make sure you get up and put towel out before the rush as some people put towels out at night!

the food - this was something many people complained about 'the same every night' granted some nights there was chips or rice but expected other than that a main dish different every night with starters etc also really lovely salad bar. only thing would advise is drink local ones imported alot extra my boyfriend drank efes basically a turkish version of fosters!

day trips - we went on a boat trip and to be fair was pretty poorly organised but once your there fantastic day jumping into the sea is like hitting ice but so refreshing after the heat of the sun all day. if your not one for real heat turkey no for you very hot! Also went to the aqua park if your up for bit of fun definatley go slides for everyone although i didnt go on the vertical drop but was told it was exciting! although if go have to buy food in there we made sanwiches waste of time cant take anything in!

night time - best bar to go to is called the no name bar (literally) turn left from hotel on right not far up. bar man were hilarious made our holiday non watered down drinks and they get you very drunk! also there is the main strip not far up but this is where you get the turks trying to get you to dance all time and buy watered down drinks - still good fun got to go at least once1 best place we found there was called club tropicana cant miss it got a big yellow car at entrance! also the frog right at top is a kareoke bar!

shopping - never ever pay full price haggle all the way its so much fun, bought perfume (real too) 2 bottles one being gucci for about £28 bargin! clothes real bargin too! if one shop wont haggle just go to next one! we would hide our money and say this is all we have if say no start walking away they ll come back they cant miss business! also if your buying cigerettes its little cheaper in airport malboro £16 for 200.

the turks - this i feel most strongly about people wrote they were hassled and pulled back and were touched up which really worried me but it is all wrong never saw that at all! they were friendly had a banter with you but that was it if you said no then no it was just walk away there all good people.

I hope this has counteracted some of the bad press hotel has recived i loved my holiday there and have nothing bad to say about it.
