Food: The buffet offered various options, including fresh vegetables and fruit. As two vegetarians, we loved our options. Food was of good quality and available at any time of the day. We particularly loved the freshly baked Gözleme by the pool. One dining at the a la carte restaurants during the stay was included in the price, which was very nice. There is a quiet, calm, and beautiful cafe on the first floor of the main building, which is perfect for hiding away from the beach life for a short while and enjoying the quiet time with good coffee and baklava in an airconditioned cafe. Beach: The beach was nice and clean, with plenty of beds. We could easily find a bed at any time of the day close to the restaurant's bar, where we could get refreshments and cocktails. It was lovely to see that fresh water was put out for the stray dogs. In general, we admired how harmoniously locals live together with street animals (cats and dogs) in Turkiye. It is something other countries should learn. SPA area: We enjoyed the spa area, which had saunas and a Turkish bath free for all guests. We also booked a massage package, which was worth it. Room: Our room was spacious and had a beautiful sea and pool view. The air conditioner was working well, and the room was regularly cleaned. Staff: The staff was very kind and helpful. They were mostly young and enthusiastic about their jobs. You could see that they were doing everything they could to make your stay memorable. The gentleman in charge of exchanging towels is super nice and helpful. Location: Before our arrival, we had heard many negative things about Gumbet, but our experience was very positive. The old Bodrum city is only a short taxi ride away, and surrounding the hotel are many bars, restaurants, and clubs. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and we found everything we needed in the neighborhood.

- Water could be put in the rooms after cleaning, it was a bit inconvenient that we had to get out of the room to fetch water. - The beds were a bit harder than we liked. -The cafe's bookshelf did not have Turkish books, which was disappointing. I noted this in a conversation with the gentleman in charge of towels (Ramazan Bey); he was kind enough to bring me a book from his home. That was so very kind.

I stayed at Parkim Ayaz for 7 days. It definitely exceeded my expectations. From check in to check out, I never felt any failure. On my check in day, Yasin was the first smiling face that I met. He was wonderful throughout my entire stay, very helpful and patient. He listened to all my needs very carefully and always with a warm smile. He gave me one of the best rooms I could have And I'm always grateful. He is definitely a gem for any organization. The other people at the reception like Safeet and Elif were incredibly lovely. Arriving at the hotel is easy. You can take a minibus from Bodrum central station, direction Gümbet for 30 Liras and you'll get there in about 25 minutes. The hotel itself is like 10 seconds to the beach. There are beds at the beach for free and hotel has 3 pools, I used the one at Cozzy Bar. Was wonderful. The restaurant and surroundings were always very green, lovely and very clean. The food was wonderful, fresh, delicious and well-cooked. The variety of food was beyond my expectations and I didn't get to try everything as there were always too many delicious things to try. Restaurant staff like Vahab, Ibrahim and others were all lovely and caring. There was a snack bar from which you could have ice cream, waffles and cakes during 12-18 and having those at the pool after a swim was a delight. They had different live dance shows every night at the hotel And was really cool. It's been a few days since I'm back home and I already miss the hotel, sea, pool and the staff so much. I will definitely come back. One of my best travels ever. Thank you Parkim Ayaz, Thank you Yasin, Elif and others for making my stay so wonderful. Take care 💖

Couldn't find anything to dislike!

From the valet parking at the start to them retiring the car at the end, it was brilliant. It really is on the beach. The restaurant is adjacent to the beach. You really couldn’t be any closer to the sea. The room was spotlessly clean. It also had a kettle and although the tea bags or water were not replenished, there were many opportunities to pick up both as you moved around the hotel. The aircon was free!!!! The towels and bed linen were more than adequate; clean and soft. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. When you sat down for a meal they were soon there to take a drink order. Yes…. even at this all inclusive hotel. If they noticed your empty cup or glass, they would offer to refill it. The food was great and although they rehashed food rather than waste it, if you didn’t like this there were plenty of options. Be sure too, to take advantage of the free a la carte restaurant meal during your stay. That was just brilliant. You pay for the drinks but they are very reasonably priced!!

Our room was huge with a bedroom, bathroom and lounge area. It had a jacuzzi but I didn’t try it. There is wallpaper on the wall and it is peeling in places. A drawer in the dressing table, if you tried to open it, almost fell apart. So in places a little tired maybe.

I recently stayed at the Parkim Ayaz Hotel in Bodrum for three nights, and I must say it was an amazing experience. The hotel staff and entertainment team were outstanding and made my stay truly enjoyable. The entertainment team at Parkim Ayaz Hotel was fantastic. They organized a variety of activities that catered to all ages and interests. From fun pool games to entertaining evening shows, they kept everyone entertained and engaged. Their energy and passion were contagious, and they made sure everyone felt included and had a great time. The hotel staff were also remarkable. They provided excellent service and were always friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable, and the food was delicious. The location of the hotel was beautiful, with stunning views of the Aegean Sea and easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, my stay at Parkim Ayaz Hotel was great, thanks to the wonderful entertainment team and the attentive hotel staff. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable vacation.

Nothing

The reception team was very helpful, as well as all the staff especially with children making sure they are happy, the facilities and amenities are good in relation to price, they had daily activities in cozzy bar which were a nice way to spend part of your night directly inside the hotel

Our 6th Stay – Still Blown Away by the Excellence This was our 6th time staying at this incredible hotel, and once again, it completely exceeded our expectations. Each visit reminds us why we keep coming back—the consistent quality, the attention to detail, and above all, the exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed like old friends. The front desk team made check-in smooth and personal, greeting us by name and remembering small preferences from past visits. It's those little details that truly set this place apart. Our room was, as always, immaculate—tastefully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Housekeeping continues to be flawless, leaving thoughtful touches and ensuring our space feels like a sanctuary. What truly keeps us returning, though, is the staff. Every person we’ve encountered—from the concierge and restaurant staff to housekeeping and management—has been friendly, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay exceptional. Their warmth feels authentic, and their commitment to service is second to none. A special mention must go to Yasin, the general manager, who is absolutely fantastic. His leadership is clearly reflected in every corner of the hotel. He takes the time to personally connect with guests, always ensuring that everything is running smoothly and that every guest feels valued. His passion for hospitality and attention to detail make a huge difference, and it's clear that his team respects and follows his example. After six visits, this hotel feels like a second home—one filled with care, comfort, and unforgettable hospitality. We are so grateful for the amazing team here and can’t wait to return for visit number seven

What is not to like? Hotel and staff absolutely outstanding..

The property is ideally located . There are lots of things to do around. The staff was very welcoming and very helpful. There is always someone to help and make your stay memorable. The pools are kept clean and the whole premises are clean. Food in the restaurant is varied and really nice .Restaurant staff are very helpful and welcoming. Anket who was doing our room was very lovely, she was meticulous and always smiling . She made our room everyday to a very good standard . The boat trip was memorable .

The beds are not comfortable they are so hard and uncomfortable The bathroom’s can do with freshening up .

We were incredibly impressed with this hotel, the food, the wonderful staff, the facilities and the surrounding area! We went out of season (in April) so I imagine the area gets much busier through Summer, and therefore this was a perfect time for us. Our kids had the best time. My daughter especially loved all the animals - and had lot of hugs off the very well cared for dogs and cats ☺️ We had a late flight home and really appreciated being able to use all the facilities including bag storage and lovely showers for the full day once we checked out.

Im sure it wouldn’t be an issue in Summer but I did find the bed sheets on the double bed to be very small. There was a blanket to use but it did mean that I was uncomfortable most nights. I’m sure it might just be personal preference though and it definitely didnt affect our stay!

The breakfast was pretty much the same choice everyday but lunch and dinner was changed up and the food was great. Even the food inbetween meal times was delicious. Our room and balcony view was excellent and the hotel complex itself was kept clean to a high standard. The watersports available right on your doorstep were excellent. The restaurant staff in the hotel go above and beyond to get you seated, bring you drinks and make you feel comfortable. Vahap (I hope I spelt his name correctly) made it for us. He was brilliant. Mehmet was a bit of a joker and made us laugh everytime we saw him as well. So for me those two made our dining experience excellent. The others were also great but those two stood out.

The evening entertainment didn't start until 9pm so between the pool closing at 6pm to 9pm was a little dull as there wasn't even any music playing in the background. The prices of the watersports on the beach were quite expensive but to be honest even outside of the hotel was too. You're paying British prices for things so do t expect a cheap holiday. The Jet-Ski for example worked out around £47 for 10 mins and the price of a local beer outside the hotel was 250 Lira which is roughly £5.50. The shop owners non stop hassle you to buy stuff from their shops so at night time along with everybody trying to get you in to their bars and shops gets quite overwhelming to the point it made us not want to bother.
