Beautiful property and staff very friendly

Whilst I understand Bodrum is often renown as Turkey’s destination for the rich and famous, the mark up on prices is too excessive. A Corona from the hotel bar was AU$18 when in the remainder of Turkey is would be approx AU$6 Also, we are in 2024 and no smart tvs in the rooms. Not to mention the standard issues tv did not pick up all of the local terrestrial channels. I understand you don’t pay to stay in the room to watch tv but you do need some downtime. The wifi was also horrible in our room which was towards the end of the building. Hotel at this price point should have the best.

The sense of hospitality among staff was exceptional; They were attentive and intuitive in recognizing my needs which something I value when I stay at a hotel. Also room upgrad to spacious one with a beautiful sea view allivated my experience as a guest. The free breakfast at Lotus resturant was beyond what I normally experience as “ breakfast included to room”, this was well prepared dishes that are diverse and delicious!

I would say the air condition in my room was not clear to adjust but it didn’t impact my comfort as the weather was not that hot. Also, I’m aware that I came during the off-season period so two restaurants were closed.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like a queen! The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, they even offered me a complimentary cocktail while they handled my check in, which made me feel instantly relaxed and pampered. It was honestly one of the best experiences l've ever had. The room was a dream, I had every ring doubled to myself: a separate toilet, shower room, spacious wardrobes... the setup was luxurious and thoughtfully designed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cozy, romantic atmosphere made it feel like the perfect birthday escape. The balcony was brilliant, a peaceful spot to unwind and soak in the view. Every single staff member I encountered went above and beyond to make my stay special. You could truly feel the effort and care in every little detail. Oh I forgot to mention I also did get a birthday cake & it was yummy! I already can't wait to go back, but next time, will be bringing my Mr. Right with me!

The only downside for me was the location. The property is a bit far from town. I wasn't sure if there were any buses running nearby, so I ended up using taxis quite a lot, especially since I was travelling alone and prioritising my safety. Also, while I fully respect and appreciate cultural differences, I do think it would be helpful if each section of the hotel had at least one staff member fluent in English. It would make communication smoother, especially for solo travellers like me who may need a bit more guidance.

We stayed at the hotel in the month of april. We got upgraded as soon as we got to the property. The staff was super efficient, friendly & warm. They accommodated every request that we had. The communication with the hotel staff was excellent. They use whatsapp to communicate and it is super efficient. We got a hammam bath and a spa done at the property and it was amazing. The food at the property is lovely, the breakfast spread is vast and they also made kumpir upon request for us. They made sure my mother's brithday celebration was super special. From flowers, to cake and also a small gift was presented to my mother on behalf of the hotel. It was super thoughtful. The property is about 30 mns from the city centre by car. however the hotel arranged for cabs for us all the time, we just had to inform them 5 mns in advance. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting bodrum.

The property is what you see in the pictures which exceeded my expectations so much. I went there to celebrate my birthday and honestly the staff made my day, I was touched by their gift they’ve presented me and scrumptious chocolate cake. I was really touched and I will forever remember this moment. The service and the staff - Literally the best and friendly people, I love them and I’m going to miss them so much. They was so accommodating and helpful and anything I wanted or any queries I had, they were so fast with their response which I communicated via WhatsApp. The breakfast was a full on buffet like so many varieties and options on what you want. Their pancakes was the star of the show. I’m not normally a fan but their pancakes was DIVINE and very DELICIOUS. Their spa facilities, where do I begin… The best experience I had, Spa manager and her team made me so comfortable, as well as made sure I was taken care properly. Their restaurant, the food I ordered I really enjoyed. Although, there was limited options on the food menu but I really enjoyed the food I ordered especially the shrimp linguine pasta, it was so delicious. Also the hotel as beach club included, given the fact that Bodrum was currently on their “off season” until the 15th of May. However I really enjoyed myself as well as drinks and food that they’ve offered, it was so spendid. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for me, I will most definitely come again, also a lot of people saw where I was and they were keen to know more about the hotel and they would also like to visit when they come Bodrum. Thank you again, Cape Bodrum Luxury Hotel & Beach for your 5 star service.

There’s was nothing bad whatsoever but I did mention to the team that in advance to notify guests before their arrival about their mini bar so that why it gives future guests options wherever that want it there or not, in order to avoid charge fees. Also I was really fond of the cats because I’m really scared of them but the team did their best to make sure to take them out of the hotel property. Other than that it was simply a fantastic experience.

Breakfast was amazing, escape beach club was beautiful, as was the infinity pool. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Especially at breakfast. The gym was good, we even took PT sessions (would only be better and bit beneficial if she could speak English also, but she was amazing, and really enjoyed her workout sessions). Also loved the pillow menu, the goose feather was much better and the WhatsApp for the guest relations was very useful.

Minor detail - but the rooms need a full length mirror, and we asked for twin beds but some days the beds were made up as double and other days twin which was strange. Also many times some amenities aren’t replenished, so you need to keep asking which is a bit annoying for a ten day stay… eg coffee in the room, or cotton pads or buds etc etc just basics should be replenished daily really.

Everything was just perfect, the nicely designed room overlooking the sea, the friendly hospitable staff greating us everyday like family, the vibe and DJ on the Escape beach, all the restaurants and cafes there were delicious, the souvenirs shop is nice and neat, the spa services were suburb (Tried Balenise massages in the terrace and classic massage in one of the spa rooms, they were both amazing performed by an Indonesian Masseuse) , even the breakfast menu was delicious. Not to forget the perfect location with an easy access to a beach walk across other hotels and shops (for my morning walks). Yalikavak Marina is also less than 10 minutes away by taxi which was just so convenient for me. I honestly had heavenly time there, was pampered to the max, I even extended my visit for a couple of days because I couldn't get enough. I'm so thankful and grateful for all the staff and the good management of the Hotel. Highly recommend it 👌🏼

-We were upgraded to a bigger room on the highest floor and that was absolutely wonderful. The room was gorgeous- spacious and stylish. - The view from the room was fantastic - The pool and beach facilities were amazing. Great, super comfortable beds, good entrance to the sea, etc. Tasty Lachmachun from the oven! Drinks on the beach were also good! - Room was clean, bed was great but the best was the so called pillow menu, where one can choose and order the pillow one likes for free. - We left very early to catch a ferry to Kos one day and staff prepared us breakfast boxes to go with tasty sandwiches and coffee but also pancakes with Nutella and strawberries. Same for the early check-out to go to the airport. Thank you for that! 🙌 Was perfect to brighten the long ride up - Concierge staff is very attentive in ordering the taxi, opening doors and greeting, once one comes back. Much appreciated!

- Too bad only one of three restaurants was open:( There were just a few dishes to choose from and we did it on the day one. If two other restaurants were open, we would’ve paid those a visit too , since there is absolutely nothing good outside of the hotel in a walking area. - There was no Nespresso machine in the room and only instant coffee bags:/ which makes absolutely no sense for a resort of this level. - The location I didn’t really like. Gundogan village is quite dirty and there are no good food or coffee options at all - Breakfasts were really good! Just one small thing, the staff is not very attentive and when you order something from the menu, always something else arrives 🥲

This is a hidden gem - the hotel is beautiful. We loved the pool - the loungers in the photo are accurate and we enjoyed the stunning views of the bay. The breakfast was to die for and catered to all imaginable breakfast offerings! The loungers by the beach were comfortable (second level more so) and the service was impeccable. Every single person we met was helpful, caring, and friendly. I accidentally left by backpack (with my laptop and iPad inside) in the taxi and the reception staff acted quickly and I had my bag back in my arms within 10 mins. Kudos to the taxi driver for being so responsive and trustworthy. A special shout out goes to Simga (sorry if I misspelled your name) for being super friendly and arranging my paddleboard and catamaran adventures! You are an angel! We ate at the Seafront restaurant and Beeves Steak restaurant - both were outstanding! The waiters at Beeves were outstanding!

We liked everything!

- tastefully decorated and furnished hotel which has a luxurious rustic feel - loved the design of the infinity pool & lounging beds adjacent to it - plenty of very plush lounging sun beds along the waterfront which had a Maldives vibe to it. I loved that the beds were immediately by the water and you can get in and out of the sea very conveniently and feel close to the water. - all the food in the various restaurants were good. The hotel had many beautiful lounging and relaxing areas dotted about the hotel which all had nice ambience. If you wanted to explore, you could turn right from the hotel and walk along the promenade to get further into the bay - lots of other restaurants and bars there within 15 minute walk. It’s also a nice and safe walk. - the room was comfortable, clean, beautifully designed (we had the sea view) and the rain shower was very good :) - guest relations were amazing (always available directly on WhatsApp) and happy to help. Definitely one of their plus points!! Very good customer service. Staff were always very attentive as well. Thank you. - they have watersports available (perhaps needs to be promoted more to customers, we discovered this by chance when we were exploring the hotel) - we tried the catamaran activity, it was very fun! - we also tried the Turkish hammam in their spa which was a lovely experience, very clean. The spa area is also beautiful and relaxing. - the breakfast spread, omg, it’s incredible! You get to pick your hot food from a menu and there’s also a huge buffet spread with great variety and good quality food. - we missed this but on Sundays they have movie night where they put a projector/screen on the sea and you lay on the sunbeds to watch the movie. Gutted we missed this! Would’ve stayed an extra night if we knew!

- location is slightly out of the way and most tour companies do not to pick ups from this area. We managed to find one Bodrum Tour XL Onelli at the last minute who would. Obviously you can do the private tours with Cape Bodrum themselves but this will be at a much higher price point - party music from the bar is usually played quite loud during the day, I would’ve preferred music with chilled vibes. Didn’t want to feel like I was in Ibiza (whole of Bodrum tend to like their party music)
