Okaliptus Otel

We knew the hotel as we stayed along from it last time. Here's our feedback: PROs LOCATION: Beautiful vibe, set under Eucalyptus trees. Beach hotel. CLEANLINESS OUTSIDE: Great. Swept & reset for each new day ROOM: Decent double room with sofa area. Not luxury but was fine. ROOM CLEANING: Lovely team daily housekeeping couldn't fault them. BED: Huge bed, comfortable enough AC: Brilliant a/c much needed in 36 degrees STAFF: Really lovely bunch who looked after us. Very hard working FAVOURITES: Love that you can sit under trees for drinks & there is a bohemian lounging area by beach & the outdoor restaurant - all so lovely BEACH SET UP: Sunbeds literally on the shore, waiter-service for drinks, easy access to the sea. CONs FOOD: Overall it spoilt our holiday and turned our stomach. We had half-board breakfast & dinner (both buffets). First impressions it looks like a nice enough offering but it is not. BREAKFAST: Catering for Turkish tastes only: Coffee machine: average, weak machine coffee Juice: fake sweet orange drink from powder full of chemicals (tang?) Cold buffet options: olives, salad, spam, curdled yoghurt + 5 uncovered, catering bowls of honey & jams put back out each day (after they've fished the spam out that someone dropped in), processed cheese Hot buffet options: overcooked chips, hard boiled eggs (no option to have eggs cooked any other way), cold slices of omelette on occasion, spam chipolatas (on occasion). I did like: tomatoes with cheese on (served twice) & the sliced fresh cheese & the watermelon slices & dried fig. Also pancakes (served twice) DINNER: Yoghurt dips that were reserved every day and not made freshly. Couscous salad served twice, meaning they put it out at beginning of week and then end of week (same dish) I did like: Fresh tomatoes & cucumber salad We loved: their rice, every night a different type & it was really good. Hot buffet options: awful concoctions and we're not fussy eaters. Just a few options each evening such as: Left over poor quality meat mixed in with aubergine Chicken drumsticks in sauce that tasted unfresh DESSERTS You can't say they don't have a lot of variety here, they offer at least 10 different desserts. But it is basically Mum's gone to Iceland, pink icing type things for kids. SUMMARY Food isn't fresh (apart from salad which is lovely) They serve it until they then put it in a random dish Very few hot choices No hot choices for non-meat eaters No seafood or fish at all (they are running it on a very low food budget) We paid to eat out elsewhere a few nights. We also paid to upgrade to eat their sunday a la carte which was nice. We don't understand how they can get everything else so right but mess up the food so much. A little more budget and creativity and it could be ok.

Had the best holiday at okaliptus hotel, such friendly staff ,Huseyin and the team where amazing treated us like family. We will definitely go back next year. Rooms cleaned and towels changed every day. Amazing food at outside restaurant. Rick and Jane xx (Also known as Michael and Susan )

Hotel is right on the beach in a beautiful spot. The rooms are basic but adequate. Just a little bit of TLC required. Safe wasn’t working but was fixed immediately. Patio doors weren’t locking but again fixed right away. The food wasn’t up too much. Two hot options at breakfast and two at night. Basic things like chicken thighs and meatballs. Chefs standing watching everyone at night which was very off putting. Visited here 10 years ago and they served pancakes and omelettes made freshly. There was a large grill outside which was never used. So all in all I would say ideal spot but food badly letting them down. Chips at breakfast 🙄

Bodrom This hotel is nicely situated in the middle of Bytez beach neighborhood. Good comfortable vibe. The beach are is set up boho and has a good chill vibe in the trees. The bar and restaurant are nice and the included breakfast and dinner help offset the $180 per night cost. The rooms were average. Most have a balcony to nowhere so no rooms with a view. It is very spread out and you will do a lot of walking. Beware they charge the rooms by the amount of people and do not provide bedding. Just a hard mattress and a sheet.Might be a thing, not something I’m used to seeing. Overall, the hotel is okay. There are night clubs near the main entrance so it can get very noisy. Great place to drink and hang out with friends.
