We stayed in the Oriental Suite, and it was absolutely stunning. The suite featured a beautiful terrace with breathtaking views of the beach and sea, a private hammam room, and a sauna. It was the only bedroom suite located within the spa building, so whenever we wanted a massage or treatment, we simply took the elevator downstairs! What a luxurious experience! The service at the hotel was exceptional, far surpassing anything we’ve encountered in the US. Our personal ambassador, Nursel, was extraordinary, making us feel completely cared for throughout our stay. I appreciated having a single point of contact for any questions or requests, allowing us to build a relationship over the course of our vacation. The beach was spectacular, the pool was lovely, and the spa treatments were excellent. The restaurants were often situated right on the water, offering very fresh food. A substantial buffet breakfast was included in our stay. The only aspect that didn’t meet our expectations was the cocktails—they were pricey (30 euros) and, despite several attempts, we didn’t find any we truly enjoyed. Perhaps we were just unlucky. In summary, be prepared to spend a significant amount beyond the room (restaurants, cocktails, spa, etc.), but if the cost isn’t an issue, this was truly a 5-star experience in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The service, in particular, was outstanding (special thanks to Nursel!). If we have the opportunity to return to this part of the world, we would definitely stay here again!
This beach is an absolute gem with crystal clear waters that are simply breathtaking. However, if you plan on snagging a sunbed, be sure to arrive early in the morning as they tend to fill up quickly. Although the limited availability of sunbeds may be a slight inconvenience, it's a small price to pay for such a stunning location. Additionally, there are a few cafes in the area that offer reasonably priced refreshments. Overall, I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque escape.
The spa experience was absolutely amazing. We indulged in invigorating Turkish baths and then enjoyed soothing massages. It was incredibly relaxing and refreshing. The facilities were impeccably clean and peaceful. The masseuses were exceptional, displaying great professionalism.
We spent 10 days at the beginning of Sep 2023 at this beach and had an amazing time. The hotel is spotless, the staff is attentive and professional, and the food and drinks are top-notch. There is nightly entertainment and plenty of daily activities to enjoy. We loved the private beach and well-equipped gym. Upon check-in, they set you up on a WhatsApp group chat so you can easily communicate any requests. Thank you Rixos Premium Bodrum for a fantastic experience.
Upon arrival, it becomes evident why this beach is not heavily populated and without a fee. The water is contaminated with plastic and debris scattered throughout, the sand is littered with cigarette butts, and the ocean floor is obstructed by numerous large rocks. Additionally, there are multiple pipes discharging unknown substances into the sea, and it is unclear if these are sewage.
