oasis is a good description - you can really relax and forget your just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Bodrum town as it’s very tranquil and charming. The rooms, pool, hot tub, breakfast, staff, facilities in general are all very good. Wasnt important to me but the WiFi was also pretty fast and reliable both in the room and by the pool. Its a short walk into Bodrum town which has plenty going on but if you want to explore further has good parking for a hire car (or the main bus/dolmas hub is a few minutes walk away). I’m an animal lover so was nice to have Kiki the dog and a few cats around the pool area but if that’s not your thing I wouldn’t worry as they seem much more interested in sleeping most of the day.

Being very picky the private beach area isn’t cheap - €45 p/p (€15 transfer, €30 at the beach which as I understand is effectively a minimum spend) so for a family of three or four it’s quite a hit just for a day out. I can’t say if it’s really worth it as we decided to hire a car (to explore the area in general)and went to one of the local (free) public beach’s (Bodrum Yali) which gets my seal of approval as was quiet, clean and had some of the best prices you can find - €1 for a sunbed and umbrella for the day, a very big lunch not inc alcohol for €10 a head. Can’t criticise the hotel too much as is a town Center hotel with an offer of being able to go to the beach - not a beach hotel, I just think it was a bit overpriced.

We had the most incredible stay at El Vino! My partner arranged the trip as a birthday gift, and the entire experience was unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and celebrated, from organizing a beautiful cake to decorating our room with the sweetest touches. The location couldn’t have been more perfect, just a short walk from the harbour and town. The hotel itself was a peaceful oasis, with a serene pool area that made it feel like a true escape. We’re already dreaming of coming back. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at El Vino for making our stay so special!

From the moment we arrived, the service and professionalism were outstanding. When we enquired of car parking as we were hiring a car to leave early for Ephesus, we were immediately offered a packed breakfast since we would miss the hotel breakfast. Sayed was extremely helpful with tour queries, and we cant fault the service. The room was lovely, the complimentary afternoon tea appreciated, the pool area inviting, the hotel breakfast was of a high quality. Set in a quiet area, elevated with lovely views, and a 10 minute easy walk from the centre, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Delightful hotel, a tropical paradise with bougainvillea and gorgeous colored flowering shrubs throughout. The swimming pools blend into the environment and are chilled which is a treat on a hot day. The cafe next to the pool is a cozy place to sit and sip coffee or sangria under the shade of the trees. The rooftop restaurant is a wonderful surprise with views stretching down to the water and the food is exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and they made us feel so welcome and cherished. It was very hard to leave this wonderful place.

There is nothing not to like.

Loved the poolside, lots of lovely seating in a really peaceful setting. Good pool bar with plenty of quality choice of food/drinks. The staff were always so helpful, going above and beyond for guests. Cemile the assistant manager was always around the hotel offering support to the guests - she even helped us retrieve a bag that we’d accidentally left in a taxi. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without her. Location is a 15-30minute walk from town, depending on which side you’re going to, but totally worth it to have the peace and quiet that I don’t think town centre accommodation would offer

Nothing!

Loved everything about our stay here. Great location, walking distance to the Bizarre & Port. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. The rooftop Restaurant is fantastic. Cheaper than eating down on the water and the view is amazing. The pool is relaxing and a wonderful complimentary afternoon tea and pastries by the pool was so nice. Breakfast also good and lovely to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of Turkey. Would stay here again!

Nothing to dislike

Oasis in the middle of the city. We had a lovely poolside room with a huge comfortable bed. Everything was super clean and tidy and well appointed. The restaurant was also lovely. Good selection at breakfast and the added bonus of afternoon tea provision. October means the pool was cool (but ok once you were in) but the jacuzzi was great.

Everything was wonderful. If I had to be super picky it is the lack of english TV channels, but who needs TV on holiday! Enjoy the oasis that you are lucky enough to be in.

The property is an oasis of tranquility in Bodrum, flowering trees and bushes are to be seen everywhere in the grounds and surrounding both the roof pool and ground floor pool. The room (seaview with balcony) was great and comfortable. Very clean. Nice shower and good overall shower room/toilet. The staff were very helpful and responded quickly. Excellent and very large choice of breakfast foods. Good restaurant with great views over Bodrum.

This is not a dislike but for travellers who have a phobia of stairs make sure you request or book a garden or ground floor room. The hotel is terraced and has a lot of staircases but no elevators. The restaurant has a good variety of vegetarian starters but limited choice of vegetarian main courses.

All rooms are arranged around the pool and courtyard. Our room only have front door and it felt a bit difficult to keep well ventilated. The place is very quiet and relaxing in a very peaceful part of the town. About 15 minutes uphill walk from the sea front. We liked staying there for a bit of peace and rest. The furniture may feel a bit outdated but it felt just okay. Lovely cats around the place always ready to interact and play with us. We loved all Turkish cats! The breakfast is very well stocked with plenty of options and some homemade products that tasted delicious.

The furniture inside the room and having a bit more ventilation, but nothing major

We loved staying here! The pool and gardens are beautiful (and heated outdoor jacuzzi amongst trees); the staff are so friendly and helpful (in particular Denis and Sue); nice spacious rooms with really comfy beds; and a delicious breakfast. The staff had thought of everything you could want and the complimentary afternoon tea was delicious. We also really enjoyed a drink on the roof terrace each night and had an excellent massage there (extra charge). I personally also likes the feline neighbours roaming around the pool and gardens
