It's the first time we went on holiday with a three year old, we chose this hotel as it seemed very child friendly and believe me ...it is. I wouldn't recommend a couple to go there for example or people who want to have a quiet and relaxing holiday as there were lots of young families with small children, most activities are aimed at that clientèle. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. First we got a very small room with view on a brick wall but when we complained this was changed at once and we got a more suitable room. Room was basic but comfortable and clean.The food was good, we mainly ate from the buffet as the "a la carte" restaurants got booked up quite quickly. You have to call a special number from your room to do an on-line reservation between 10 AM and 2PM for reservations. Local liquors and beer are free and available at will all day long. The Buffet offered a wide assortiment of foods but guests only seemed interested in the hamburgers and chips whereas the Turkish specialties seemd to be widely ignored, great choice of desserts and salads too, all this this three times a day. The Bars would serve snacks between 12:30 and 4PM, simple meals such as salads, pizzas, hamburges, kebab and sandwiches, all served with chips. The swimming pools were clean and depending about the days had a pleasant temperature, they changed the water in the weekends and usually they would be rather cold then. The aqua park was great, even for adults! The only unpleasant thing was the "towel reservation" if you did not "reserve" your deck chairs before breakfast you would not find a pleasant place by the pools. This was very annoying sometimes as people would reserve the best places and not turn up until 4 PM sometimes. One service really missing is room service, if your child needs to go to bed early and you just want to sit on the balcony you will only be able to drin the provided water, Coke or Fanta...unless you feel like walking to the nearest bar and get whatever you can carry. If you want a massage or some other cosmetic treatment I wouldn't recommend using the one that is in the Hotel, not only it is expensive and you need to pay in cash, no Credit cards accepted and you can't have it charged on your room because they have no arrangement with the Hotel. There are some very good Spa's in the area which are half the price, they even come and pick you up from the hotel too and they also acept credit cards. I recommend doing a real Turkish hammam after a few days there, you will feel the difference on your skin. Right opposite the hotel you can also get your hair cut (€6 for men and €9 for women) and a shave (real one) for €3. The best way of going to Bodrum is with the public buses, only € 1 per person and they stop right in front of the hotel every 15 minutes. The animation team is very friendly and they do not bother you if you don't feel like participating. There is security walking around and from what I heared they are effective as well as one evening some tourists were causing troubles and this was settled within five minutes (I guess that the threat of staying in a Turkish prison "Midnight Express" type can be relatively helpful). What type of people can you expect to meet there? Do not expect a very upper class type of tourists there, mainly families with children and in general quiet & discreet people. Whilst we were there there were many Dutch people, some French and very little English, hardly any Russians and more Turkish tourist as one would usually expect. The Children club was really nice and caring for children. We never attended the shows as they were a little too late to go to with the little one. All in all we had a great holiday there and enjoyed our stay, Bodrum is a nice and pleasant little town to visit where you can do great shopping deals. Would I go back to the Club Voyage Torba? I don't know because I like trying out different places but the Bodrum area is very nice with plenty of things to do.
