Zera Bodrum

The Zera hotel is fine for any family on a low budget. We got a reasonable last minute price from TUI, which was £220pp (self catering) per week. After our stay at the hotel, if we find ourselves looking at last minute deals at a low price, I would consider returning, but I wouldn't pay more than what we have paid previously, as there are some factors that should be addressed to make it a better place to stay. 1) AC costs £10 per day. In my opinion, this should be complimentary or factored into the holiday price. It reached 43° on our stay. 2) The cleanliness of the rooms upon arrival was questionable. It certainly hadn't been mopped. Our couch had chewing gum on and melted chocolate stains, which I had to sleep on. Thankfully fresh sheets were provided. Apart of this I do have sympathy for the hotel, as this shows a lack of respect from The previous people staying there. 3) The drains in the shower and the bathroom are certainly not cleaned regularly. 4) The appliances in the room are dated. 5) The pool was a good size and was generally not that busy, so my kids had plenty of space to enjoy themselves. The pool staff are friendly and helpful. However the prices for the quality of food recieved was not great. You could venture out and have a top quality meal including drinks for 500 Turkish lira more. It didn't make sense to eat there. 6) The toilets in the pool area were disgusting, again not cleaned regularly at all. Lights were not working, and it was just better to walk back to your room. Again though, I have some sympathy for the hotel as the people using the facilities are not respectful. However, the 4 day old skid marks in the toilets highlight that there are no cleaners attending regularly. There are toilet brushes FYI. 7) Wi-Fi is only useable in reception. The above factors did not stop us enjoying our first experience of Turkey. It is a lovely country and providing the price was suitable as stated above, I would consider returning to the Zera hotel. Hopefully my review helps others decide and the hotel takes my points on-board to improve. Please don't expect to pay £200 for a week and expect a stay at Buckingham Palace....It won't happen.

The room was very basic, shower wasn’t great and door was temperamental when locking but aside from that, we had a lovely time. Okan was great with the kids, pool was lovely and we got everything we expected from a budget, self catering holiday. Had to pay for air con per night which you need as the heat in the rooms is unbearable. Great location and lovely area.

Visited Zera apartment s again . Met a lovely family with 2 lovely young girls (you never received their cases but didn’t let it spoil their holiday . All bar staff were amazing . Good holiday and good weather. Will be visiting again . Enjoyed visit to Bodrum by local bus 45 to, and visited Bitez by taxi .250 tl Brilliant boat trips average £20 per person Had meals at Alfie Moons Casablanca peters and Denny’s on the Beach .
