Middle of nowhere couldn’t walk anywhere had to get a bus to go anywhere ! Felt like you were stuck there Rooms were basic very tired , looking thin walls Spa very expensive Photographers pester u and spa people around the pool daily ! Beach water sports extortionate price Air con rubbish Very expensive shop on resort / supermarket 5min walk away Slide hardly ever open All In all an ok stay it’s probably a 3 star ⭐️ wouldn’t choose to go back or recommend .

We stayed here in mid October 2025. The hotel is quite nice but could do with some modernisation to the rooms, especially the bathrooms and some tweaks here and there. I have travelled to Turkey on many occasions and stayed at some fantastic hotels. The Selectum Collection doesn't quite live up to these, but to be fair it is a nice hotel and well worth a trip if the price is right. In my opinion it is a decent 4 star hotel and not a 5 star hotel. I was told that the company only took over the hotel in January 2025 and they are in the process of updating the rooms, but I can't verify this either way. It is situated in quite a remote place, but there are regular buses for 70 TL into Bodrum. Although Turgutreis is nearer and in my opinion a bit nicer than Bodrum, there are only limited buses which is a shame. That said the hotel will arrange a Taxi (approx 15 Euro) if you need one. There are cats and dogs at the hotel which are looked after and will wander in and out especially by the main restaurant. Personally, I like that they are tolerated and most of the guests like to feed and stroke them. However, I noticed that the male cats had their tackle intact and in my opinion the hotel should have a neutering and care program for the cats if they don't want to get over run in the future. It would be a relatively simple and cheap process to do this. We didn't use the al a carte so can't comment on these. The good points are. Staff were friendly and helpful Food is generally good and plentiful-you won't go hungry Bars (lobby, pool, beach) drinks are good including named brands Main pool is of a good size and there were plenty of sunbeds (bear in mind it was October and not August) The slide is fun at the main pool but not always open. It's faster than it looks as well. Quiet pool was a good place to chill out away from the hustle and bustle Beach was nice and sea was great for swimming in. *my tip is to use the pier to go into the sea as it is still shallow. Rooms are as good size with mini bar, dryer, toiletries, safe and tv. Grounds are well kept. Good to go snack restaurant near the quiet pool was top notch. Coffee shop/patisserie nice Free Hammam and sauna Other facilities include gym, tennis courts, basketball courts, onsite shop, kids club. Buses to Bodrum cheap and regular if you want to venture out. Could be better. Bathroom decor looking tired, some leaks in ours from sink and occasionally shower (room 4206) Sea view is limited due to layout, so don't bother paying extra for one Some furniture in rooms looking tired Food is plentiful, but can be a tad limited Some days fruit juices in the restaurant were obviously watered down and is unacceptable for a claimed 5 star hotel Not a great fruit selection - no banana, no melon on some days and only one type of melon. The fruit salad consisted of mainly carrot one day! Only 3 working English TV channels - NHK Japan, France News and Cartoon Network. Could do with some more for when chilling in
