Yasmin Bodrum Resort

V v nice

We chose this hotel because it also had a playground for kids where activities were supposed to be held. We were very disappointed, the playground was disgusting, I even tried to wipe so my daughter can stay but they went black and couldn't take all dirt off. On the ground the same, it also looked sticky on your shoes.

We stayed here from 4th october to the 13th october as a family of 7 people aged 17 yrs to 72 yrs. Firstly let me say the hotel was stunning, beautiful views and beautiful landscape. It was always clean and tidy and the staff worked really hard some were friendlier than others but i think the language barrier was morr of an issie than rudeness. Our rooms where all of good proportion very big and clean, having 2 doubles and 1 family room, they were topped up with clean towels each day and water if you needed it, and stunning views over the sea. Food was ok, we didnt go hungry and lots of choice, but sometimes the restaurants had weird combinations lots of boiled veg, stews and flat chicken on the bone and had a lot of the same things each day although they did do theme nights which were better. The snack bar was ok but again the same food each day and always full of wasps this was a better eating option for lunch than the buffet restaurant and seved fresh waffles and icecream.This did open at 12.30am for all night snacks good for late arrivals. The coffee lounge also did cakes from like 11am to 5pm. We ate at 2 of the al a cartes , the italian restaurant wasnt a good experience as we were forgotten about due to 2 big tables taking up the waiters time, not only did we wait over 20 mins for them to even take our drink order they also didnt bring out some of the appetisers that we saw the other table get and the food was just ok. But the Turkish A la carte was lovely , great service nice food, only the wind and sitting outside let it down as it was freezing but i can imagine in the height of summer it would be lovely sitting outside. The swimming pools were too cold to swim in they were virtually empty the whole 9 days we were there, apart from a few brave souls mainly kids. So we swam in the sea that was a lot warmer. No issues with sunbeds most pf them were empty mrver seen that before we never went down until after 10am, but i feel that its due to the time of year, the weather and lots of people make use of the beach. The beach is lovely , not very wide and stoney but long and lots of diffetent areas to sit and good for for swimming. The weather wasnt as good this year like previous times we have been in october and there isnt anything to do on a rainy day or windy day it has nothing around the area unless you get a taxi somewhere. The seating areas of an evening are strange, it has a huge coffee lounge with these lovely armchairs that look beautiful but isnt practical when its busy or the weather is rubbish and you need to sit inside as there just isnt enough seats.pleny of seats outside but it was too windy and cold. We were lucky most nights due to going dinner late and not watching the show, it empties out a bit when people go and watch the show at 9.30pm. The bar area doesnt have enough seats either and most of the time only had 1 bar man so always a long queue, they made cocktails fresh but if they didnt have rum they would use vodka which m

Beautiful resort. Cordial staff members from receptionist to bartenders, to cleaners, gardeners to waitress and chefs. The place was always clean. More pool activities required perhaps.

The staff at the spa were fantastic and the best part of the holiday. I would give them 5 out of 5 stars. Sumeye took fantastic care of me. The rest was a generous 3 out of 5. The hotel room was a good size however the balcony had lots of ants which had borrowed into the room by the balcony door. The mini bar fridge door was faulty and came off the hinges resulting in a glass bottle falling out and smashing; the ricocheting glass resulted in a cut to my face from which I now have a permanent scar. I must give a mention to house keeper Pina who helped me when I was injured, took me to get medical attention and checked on me each day of my stay! The main buffet restaurant failed to provide a 5 star service. Seats are first come first serve. On the first night when I went to get dessert I came back to find my table cleared and other people sat there, from then on I had to leave a cardigan on the table if I left to get something to eat or drink. The beach was lovely however finding a sunbed was always a challenge due to people who would leave their towels to reserve them and be gone for hours. Overall despite my injury I had a relaxing time, I just would not class this as a 5star resort.
