Just back from a 10 day stay at Salmakis. This has been our 8th visit. The hotel has been improved this year. The pool bar and restaurant floor have all been retiled and most of the rooms have been refurbished with new walk in showers. It is still by far the best all inclusive in Bodrum. I have shared experiences of other all inclusive hotels in the area with members of the Bodrum and Gumbert Facebook sites and there is no other hotel where we have never had a problem getting a sunbed no matter what time you go down to the pool. The staff of which many have worked there for years are always so welcoming and give great service. Shout out for Sala ( not his full name ) in the restaurant , Biliah, Fatima and the team at the bar. Also a new animation team this year that were much better to previous years, well done Hazel and the team. I also will mention that this was the first time we had an issue with the rooms not being cleaned for the first few days but a big thank you to the night manager Izmir ( again not her full name ) who sorted it out immediately and came to see me the following night to make sure everything was sorted. My advice is if you have a problem, ask for the manager. They are so passionate to make sure things are put right. As for the food, well some people have moaned about the food on this site all I can say is that is rubbish. Such a wide choice and yes , potato's chips mash you name it, dont understand how people dont like the food when there is so much choice. You can also have lunch in the lower restaurant that cooks fresh to order, great pizzas burgers etc. The other big plus is the top bar on the same level as the reception. The bar is open 24 hours and you can order a burger or a toasted sandwich at 3 am if you want to. The balcony area and seating is lovely and quieter and the view across Bodrum is breath taking. See you again in September Salmakis !!!

First time in Turkey and it did not disappoint. Hotel was almost perfect - great location for walking to local attractions if you have average fitness/mobility. Beautiful pool and private beach area. The evening entertainment was amazing, especially the Columbian Dance Show. Super food choices with an excellent range of healthy options and Turkish dishes, along with the usual burger, chips and pizza. There’s a brilliant fruit bar next to the ice cream hut! My only complaint, which is the same wherever we seem to go, and that’s better allergen labelling for each specific dish. Though they are allergy aware. We were travelling with nut and dairy allergies. Soya milk was available.

I want to mention the friendliness off the staff. In particular Ibrahim who was our waiter in the hotel. He did a fantastic job and made the holiday much more of a pleasant experience. The food was excellent and great choice Great location and comfortable room

“disappointed”

This is a beautiful hotel with stunning views, across the bay. I had a lovely room which was cleaned daily and mini bar replemished, I paid for a sea view, but the view was obscured by a huge palm tree..

This is a beautiful hotel with stunning views, across the bay. I had a lovely room which was cleaned daily and mini bar replemished, I paid for a sea view, but the view was obscured by a huge palm tree.. The bar staff, Mehmet and Kadan, and Fatima, were brilliant work so hard and always have a smile. The biggest let down with this hotel is the food, definately not 5 star, buffet, , no potato, either chips and wedges, plenty of salad, not a lot of variety, first time I have had roast lamb salad and chips, due to lack of variety, Celal, was a brilliant waiter. We had to take 4 lifts at various locations through the hotel to get to the restaurant, these often broke down, and the stairs are not for the faint hearted, not suitable for people who are disabled, or have walking issues. I found the entertainment, was more targeted for turkish people, , to get o bodrum you need a taxi or use the water taxi, as it is situated on a hill. I enjoyed my stay met some lovely people but was disappointed as othet 4 star hotels in Turkey I hav stayed at were far better
