Selectum Colours Bodrum

Good service, great surroundings, many options eg quiet pools, beach, etc. but also many food and drink options. I would highly recommend

- [ ] Staff are friendly and work hard. It’s true if you tip you get a bit more attentive service but without tipping you wouldn’t complain. One young lady in the food court bar generally seemed uninterested but everyone else was lovely. - [ ] Drinks were nice, my lad had quite a few cocktails and he thought they were ok. White wine is warm so ask for ice. Coffee isn’t as strong as I like it but that’s just personal taste. - [ ] Food places offered variety, we liked the main buffet and 27/4. Turkish Al a carte was nice, not so the Italian. Our appetisers were made for 2 but there were 4 of us! You get offered a wine list at the Al a cartes then served water. We thought we had to buy wine, which we did. Just so you know, you can have AI wine etc just isn’t made obvious. Still was a nice treat to have a bottle of pink :) - [ ] We had a duplex room and it completely met our needs. It was cleaned every weekday, fresh towels and mini bar restocked daily. House keeping is defo best Monday to Friday for us, our house keeper was fantastic! Our room was a 5 min walk to the pool so was quite conveniently situated. - [ ] Pool area is clean and pool is sparklingly clear. It’s chilly I. There mins but it’s a welcome relief when hot! Always a bed to be had no matter what time of day, just depends if you want a particular spot. - [ ] Beach is fab, fish swim right up to you and you can feed them! Gozleme pancakes were lovely, be sure to try one whilst you are there. The boat trip offered on the beach is not as advertised, their leaflets are out of date. No cliff diving and no snorkelling… better off snorkelling on the beach! - [ ] Entertainment is as you would expect in the day, so was ok. Evening entertainment was quite repetitive, seemed to us just themed differently but usually a DJ. That said a few nights they had live music which was nice, just all on a bit late so you are sitting around a bit if you want to get a table. - [ ] Firat was the star of the show for us, made us feel so welcome and very attentive We do want to return and hope to bring more family with us… it would be a shame to miss out. No where is perfect but for me it was as close to perfect as could be for what I paid :)

The room we stayed in had a broken mini fridge and clearly had not replaced the filter in the air conditioner for years because it smelt horrible whenever you entered the room - can not have been good for my health breathing that air in all night.

We booked this hotel last minute as we had to replace our Portugal holiday due to visa problem. But we didn't regret at all, as this holiday definitely much better (hotel and weather ) Disclaimers: this hotel is not suitable for people who doesn't like cats and dogs Pro: 1. Location is great, not far from airport (roughly 40 mins) and bodrum port (roughly 20 mins). 2. Beach is warm and shallow, so it's safe for kiddos. Water is clear and plenty fishes to swim with. We saw baby puffer fish. 3. A lovely big pool, water is cold, but you'll be fine after while in the pool. (The pool in Portugal even colder) 4. Snack bar is amazing at the pool (ice cream, waffle, Kumpir). My favorite one is pistachio ice cream and Kumpir. There one Turkish bread snack bar at the beach. 5.Bars. There are 5 bars, at the reception, 2 at pools, 1 at the beach, 1 at 24hours restaurant. I don't know what the alcohol drinks like as we only take our favorite drink ice coffee and non alcoholic Pina colada. 6.Restaurants. Our favorite restaurant is the 24hours restaurant. It's a la carte and it's included in the price. It's open 24 hours in peak season. We got in the hotel after 11 and we were very hungry. This restaurant is our highlight when the first time we get there. The food was lovely, the staff are so friendly and the atmosphere was so relaxing. There also seafood restaurants, Italia restaurant, and Turkish restaurant. If you stay a week you entitled to enjoy dinner at one of them. We went to Turkish restaurant and tried different Turkish kebab. Our table was at the second floor with beautiful view. 7. Pastry Bar... We love this so much.. the pastry are beautiful and we enjoyed it for our afternoon tea while looking at beautiful sunset sky. 8.waterpark.. is the most enjoyable one.. we used only the yellow slide as we don't have gut to try the blue one obviously the blue one not for young kids.. (in my opinion) 9. Food... Overall the food are nice and delicious.. but typical inclusive.. it repeated. But I don't mind.. they are delicious! Love the grilled fish and prawn dishes.. the morning burek show is my highlight. My boy love watching the chef making burek 10. Entertainment.. our highlight is the karaoke night . My boy love the mini disco off course Con: 1. Plenty of stairs.. the are lift to the beach.. but still you need taking stairs to you room if you're in the second floor. If you have mobility problem, make sure you book the wheelchair room.. I think there are rooms near pool that doesn't use stairs. 2. Room is a bit smaller than the room hotel that we've been before. But we don't mind as most of time we are not in the room beach, pool, and bars is our preference there. 3. Again, this hotel not for people hate cats or dogs.. they are everywhere Overall, we love this hotel and booked already for next year holiday
