I come to Bodrum, Turkey every summer and this is the first time I've had an awful experience with…read morea hotel out here. Honestly, a joke of a hotel. All the good reviews make no sense to me. I have never dealt with such rude, demeaning, and useless staff. The only good thing here is the lobby bar and the workers at the lobby bar. First they messed up my reservation and gave me a "garden view" room which had an amazing view of someone's balcony / window, not even a garden. Then made me stay in that room for a night because they were supposedly booked out of the sea view room which I paid extra for. They said they weren't even sure they could give me a sea view for my trip of 6 days. The manager of guest relations himself that they had their priorities set on new customers first and if they had one open then MAYBE they'd consider upgrading me to the room I paid for. The workers are condescending and always laugh for a minute before answering any questions. I asked why I got the incorrect room and they laughed saying that my room was big so I shouldn't have complained. Excuse me? I don't care how big my room is, I want the room I was advertised and paid for! Then the restaurants here, unlike other all inclusive hotels in Bodrum, are 300 EUROS per person. When I asked the worker originally how much the restaurants were, she laughed rudely in my face for a minute before telling me the price. What was the point of that? For that much money out here I could've booked another better all inclusive hotel for 2 more nights such as Vogue hotel (my go to hotel and the best here honestly). At the buffet and the "people's restaurant" nobody attends to us for drinks or food. Each time I have to flag down a worker when they're not too busy trying to run away from people actually attempting to order something. The buffet was smaller than most of the other hotels I've been to out here. This is considered one of nicest and most expensive hotels here but the price of the rooms/ hotel/ food/ service does not reflect that whatsoever. Please do yourself a favor and book with any other hotel. I can pretty much guarantee you'll have a better experience at any other hotel.

Also, right above the Halikarnas club, which for some might be the ideal spot. We did love the amazing panoramic views of the castle and harbor as the sunset, but weren't so into the noise from the playground full of children and then the club music! Also the rooms were a bit out of date and the bathroom smelled like someone had just used it recently when we arrived -- rather gross. The staff was very, very nice and the breakfast, though with instant coffee, was good. Also, the views from the breakfast room were lovely!

The Maçakizi Bodrum is absolutely perfect! My boyfriend and I are so impressed with every aspect of…read morethe Maçakizi from the aesthetics (architecture, layout, interiors, decor, etc) to the staff, food and overall relaxed environment. For starters, the creative detail in the aesthetics of the Maçakizi are en pointe (comparable to that of an Aman)--the minimalistic architecture, interior design and decor of the entire property including the rooms, beachfront, restaurant, gym, spa, etc. It is all so well done--built beautifully into the cliffside on the water of the Agean with unparalleled views of the Bodrum shoreline, surrounded by plant life. They have two dogs and a few kitties that live on site and come around from time to time. I'm a huge animal lover so this was a major bonus for me--but for those who don't care for the furry friends, they are not a bother in the least. The Maçakizi is family owned and operated, so it doesn't feel like a typical touristy type hotel/resort. It's very chill and uncomplicated--perfect for those looking for a relaxing environment (again, think Aman). My boyfriend and I are both fitness/health junkies, so the gym and the personal trainers were also a major bonus for us. I did both personal training with Isa and private Pilates with Lucy--both are GREAT and only available during the summer months. I will also note that the chef was very accommodating to both my boyfriend and I with all of our special health food requests. They have amazing kale salads, quinoa salads, homemade [yes, homemade] almond milk, oats, fresh fruit, granola, turkish yogurt, etc. I can go on and on about how much we love the Maçakizi--but I'll end it here in highly recommending a stay here (:

Location -10 Stars Customer Service - 10 Stars…read moreFood and Service - 10 Stars Facility - 10 Stars Amenities - 10 Stars Manager - Name Sabri - 100 Stars Weather - 10 Stars Words cannot express how amazing this resort is. Can I just say there are no words in the dictionary to describe this place. I have never seen such fantastic customer service ever hands down. I was in Bodrum, Turkey last week to celebrate my friend's 40th birthday and it was so amazing!!! They have a doctor on site, they have a water park, FREE foodddddd (comes with the package), dessertttttt for days and let's not forget the restaurant 24 where food is served all day and all night! I remember my friends and I would go hangout and end up at 24 at odd hours of the morning with a nice meal ready for us. Oh did I mention the Club On site? the beachhhhhhh and let's not forget the Spaaaaaa. I had the Hamman done (Traditional Turkish Bath) and a facial! My experience was sooo amazing that I recommend this place over and over again. Dear Manager, if you are reading this you need to give Sabri a huge raise or promote him. Your resort is what it is because of Sabri!! Thank you for such an amazing service! We had a fabulous time and I would recommend Voyage to families with little kids. Trust me your kids will thank you for ever!!! Enjoy the pictures :)

This is a continuation, rather than an update - I just can't possibly fit everything in the first…read morereview! There's two main chill-out areas if you're looking to do some sunbathing or swimming - by the pool, or by the beach. My preference is the beach as the loungers are better for reading, but the pool recliners are padded ones more like a single bed which is also quite comfortable. There's a bar by the pool and at the beach, there's a guy who walks around to take your order and get it from the pool bar. He can also sort you out if you can't spot a free lounger, so you don't really need to worry about nabbing one early. There's a huge range of cocktails available from the bars, as well as premium/branded spirits, beers and wine. I counted and there was something like 40+ cocktails available, and those I sampled were all really delicious - I'd recommend the Light of Voyage (vodka, midori, malibu, orange and pineapple), Strawberry Daiquiri and the Passion Fruit Cairinha. All delicious - although sometimes they'll vary depending on which member of staff is making them (not too much though!). I tried a couple of mixed drinks, like rum and coke but found the staff's tendency to free-pour the spirit meant it was way too strong for me to drink - a good problem to have! The staff at this hotel are really exceptional, and work crazy long hours. You will probably see the same people at breakfast and then at the bar at night time, I really don't know how they do it. All of them spoke good English and we never had a problem being understood. The hotel is about 40 minutes from Bodrum airport and depending on how you arrange your trip (we booked through Thomas Cook) you might have transfers included which makes it even easier. I'd definitely go back here for another relaxing holiday as there really isn't anything I can fault about the stay. Including flights, transfers and the room upgrade, all-inclusive food and drink, the cost was around £1800 for two adults.
