  : We booked a corner sea view suite. The first room we were given (in which we stayed one night, room 1735) was on the ground floor and opened onto the garden terrace. The view was slightly blocked by the garden, however the main problem was noise from the very heavy-footed women staying in the room above us as they pounded back and forth across the floor. There was also a lot of noise from people slamming doors in the echoey corridor outside. We asked to be moved to an upstairs room and were lucky to be moved to the end room of the opposite wing of the hotel (room 1435). The view was better and it was a much quieter room, mainly due to more considerate neighbours. The decor and design of the hotel is interesting. We enjoyed looking at the artworks and antique pieces dotted along the corridors of the hotel.
  : The hotel looks like it was built in perhaps the 1990s and is starting to look its age in places, particularly the bathrooms. Some refurbishment wouldnt go astray. The same menu is on offer for lunch and dinner in the restaurant, as well as room service. We didnt eat there for dinner because of that.

  : The view was amazing and the room was lovely and very comfortable. The pool was area was wonderful. The sun loungers were comfortable and the pool was never crowded, however, I suspect if the hotel was full there would not be enough sun loungers for the number of guests. Having said that, we never had a problem, but we were there off season.
  : We generally like to eat outside the hotel, however, as the view from the restaurant was so spectacular, we decided to eat there on evening. We chose the day we'd do this and asked about booking a "nice table". We were told there was no need as the hotel was nowhere near full so we'd easily get a good table. However, when we arrived at the restautrant we were told that all the tables with the best views had been reserved so had to sit at a side table meaning one of us had to sit with their back to the view looking at the pool. I was very disappointed as having been told there was no need to book I had assumed tables would be allocated on a 'first come first served' basis. I should have been told it was possible and sensible to reserve a table if we wanted a view. Also the restaurant was very expensive and the food not as good as much cheaper restaurants in town.

  : I loved the view every day whilst you sunbathe. The staff went out of their way constantly to make you feel special and happy! Some of the reception staff had great recommendations. As we visited out of season, the standard beach access/shuttle wasnt available in their sister hotel however they had a deal with Casa Nonna where we could use their beach facilities for a discounted price (minimum spend). That was also really nice. Breakfast every morning was lovely - as well as the buffet style breakfast, you can also order eggs or pancakes done any way you like. You can also ask for most types of hot drinks and water. Again, you cant beat going down for breakfast and getting to eat with that view! The spa and gym facilities were great - clean sauna and steam room, lots of different machines and free weights at the gym. Theres even a platform outside overlooking Bodrum where you can do some stretches/yoga. Open till late! Really easy walk down into central Bodrum - theres a steep hill going back to the hotel but the taxi to get back is the minimum fare which is 100 Turkish lira. Oh and finally, dinner at Tuti was amazing!! Food was absolutely gorgeous.
  : Such a small point but the pool isnt heated so its pretty cold!!
