Bitez Garden Life Hotel & Suites

Just returned from another amazing stay and I couldn’t be more pleased. There’s a noticeably friendly vibe the moment you arrive – the atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. Since my last visit, there have been some great improvements around the hotel which really enhance the overall experience – everything feels fresher and more thoughtfully maintained. They have also increased the choice in food throughout the day and evening|One of the biggest highlights continues to be the staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful, always happy to assist with a smile, and genuinely made the stay more enjoyable, particularly Cevdat, the Restaurant Manager. A massage near the pool was brilliant and really helped with relaxation - would highly recommend Iso’s massage.|The location is also unbeatable – just a short walk to the beach, which is perfect for afternoons by the sea. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean, both in the rooms and around the pool and I loved the garden-like setting surround the pool and accommodation with the trees and colourful flowers.

We had a great week in this hotel. Found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful.|It's good value for money.|Food wasn't to our taste so we didn't eat in much but you could always find something and there are lovely restaurants around to get a nice meal. Drinks were good with a good variety. Rooms a bit dated and on the small side. Plenty of drawer storage but not alot of space to hang clothes.|Grounds are very beautiful with mature gardens and trees. |I could see it being a problem in peak months finding spaces by pool or of evening for food as we sometime struggled but hotel wasn't even full.|We didn't go to the hotels beach as was always full buy plenty of other beach bars with free use of comfy sunbeds . Just need to purchase some food or drinks.|Has a Turkish bath and first aid on site too with small shop selling essentials.||All in all I would return as thought was good value and had a really good week.||Thank you!

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at this hotel was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn others. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that cleanliness and hospitality are not priorities here. The room we were given had clearly not been cleaned before our arrival. Dust, dirt, and even hair were visible all over the floor. The bathroom had a persistent smell of mold that made it unpleasant to use. To make matters worse, the bed linens and towels were not changed for five days. Only after complaining three separate times at the reception did they finally provide fresh ones — something that should be standard, not something a guest needs to beg for. The dining experience was equally poor. The food was repetitive, bland, and completely lacking in variety. Plates and glasses were often dirty, which was both unappetizing and unacceptable for a place that presents itself as a hotel. The overall atmosphere was made worse by the staff’s attitude. They seemed uninterested in helping, dismissive of concerns, and unwilling to go out of their way for guests. Instead of making us feel welcome, they gave the impression that we were a burden. In summary, this hotel failed on every basic level — cleanliness, service, and food. I would strongly advise anyone considering a stay here to look elsewhere. It is not worth the money, time, or frustration.

I just had a great week again with my friends at Bitez Garden Life. The staff as always are so friendly and helpful especially Cevdat the restaurant manager. The hotel is in an excellent location with the pretty Bitez Bay and its lovely seaside bars/restaurants within walking distance and for a short countryside walk Bitez village is also close by for its famous Ice Cream parlour. The hotel always has fresh and various tasty food available all day long and there is always a bar open! Thank you to all the staff for such a perfect holiday and see you all next year ❤️

Since our family came back a few weeks ago and we all had timeto put everything into perspective here are our takes on this hotel:|- First the rooms. We thankfully didnt notice any mold or anything like that but the room upkeep could be better. I do understand that a deep clean after every client is not possible however I do believe that wiping down superficial areas should be done. The doors in our rooms seemed to be littered with some sticky droplets, maybe someone's spilled drink. Also we noticed that some ants made their way into our room. The water pressure nor temperature were constant. Sometimes the temp would go down (not freezing, but noticable) or up, same with pressure. The internet in the family rooms is not good, we had to go to the pool area to enjoy a stable connection. But there is a pro: most family rooms are pleced near the slide pool and a playground so thats great.|- Food: it was... dissapointing. There is variety and the sweets are really good but everything else is either bland, or cold, or dry or a mix of all three. There is almost no choice for the kids, no fries in the main restaurant, only in the snackbar (we will circle back to that) and our 3 year old struggled with eating during our stay, she mostly stuch to rice and some veggies. Fruits were also limited whish was another suprise. The only meal we weren't struggling with was breaksfast, that was really well done. |- Beach: it is small, cramped and often overflowing with "reserved" sunbeds. Also: we asked at the reception if there was anywhere we could get water from once we reach the beach and the receptionist assured us that there is and it does come with our all inclusive packagge. But once there we were told we had to pay. And look, it is okay for the hotel to not have a beach bar but I think the staff should be truthfull about it, we would have at least took some cash with us. Also there is no real indication that that beach is a hotel beach, no sign or anything. |- Pool area: the sunbeds are cramped together. I will admit it is difficult to get one without "reservation" but that is not hotel's fault. Also the floors are not swiped regurarly and it shows. And look, I'm not talking about immediate pool area, I am talking about the bar that is at least 15 meters away and still have constantly wet floors. Also the speakers are loud and sitting down near the bar can be difficult. And a sign with slide open hours appeared around our 4th day. |- Snack bar: during lunch there is a really long line and it suprised me that there are only 2 people working there. Sometimes it is even one guy and I think he is new cause his speed is... well... |- Staff: overall we didn't expierience any hostility towards us BUT they speak very limited english. I get it, cleaning staff and maybe even bartenders don't need to speak a lot but we sometimes had trouble communicating at the reception where I think English is, like, essenstial?|- there is a lot of cats but most of them are friendly or at least not outright hostile, except a new mother, but she was protecting her kittens so if anyone was stupid enough to come to close...|-a pro is that there is a dolmush stop near the hotel.||Over all our stay was not the worst but it could be better if staff and managment made a tiny bit more effort.

We stayed here for 1 week, arriving on 28th August. We were a family of 3 and for us this was a cheap(ish) last minute getaway so we were not expecting all the bells and whistles. We had read previous reviews and were aware that they were a mixed bag, especially relating to the food so our expectations were not set particularly high - we just wanted a week away in the sun!||How wrong we were! If I could give this a rating of zero I would! This is by far the WORST hotel we have ever stayed in and I would urge anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. The resort of Bitez itself is lovely and our saving grace was walking down to the beach EVERY DAY and spending the day at the floating jetty (Sunset Bar & Restaurant) and spending in the region of £20-£30 daily on food and drink. If we had not been able to escape the hotel daily and get something edible we would definitely not have lasted the week.||When we arrived the room itself was clean and fairly well kept but it was not as advertised and consisted of a small camp bed wedged in the corner of a small double room for our 10 year old daughter to sleep on. We like to sit out on the balcony in the evening but we didn’t have a private balcony either - it was shared with 2 other rooms which I found unusual. We made do as we were told that there were no other rooms available and on holiday how much time do you spend in your in your room?||Around all of the 3 pools, all the sunbeds were crammed together and unless you got us at 7am to put towels on them, you would not have a sunbed. Further annoyance due to families “reserving” sun beds for the whole day but no one ever appearing until late afternoon. Large speakers blared Turkish music and the entertainer speaking every language apart from English from around midday until 11pm at night. ||There is no real entertainment for children apart from a foam party in the main pool which they did about 3 times per week while we were there. This consisted of them literally drenching the pool in foam to the point that parent were having to drag their children out because it was too dangerous.||For us the worst part of the holiday was the food - by far the worst food we have ever experienced on holiday. None of us are fussy eaters and can usually always find something that we enjoy. This time that was not the case. Everything was luke warm with flies buzzing around, it was the same food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for 7 days - absolutely tasteless and of the worst quality that you wouldn’t even feed to your dog! However, the Russians, Germans and Polish seemed to enjoy the food because if you did not get down to the restaurant areas about 30 mins before they opened, you would not get a table - no exaggeration, we spent 1 meal sat on sunloungers! And from about 15 mins before they opened queues around the whole pool area started to form - the only way I can describe it is “like feeding time at the zoo”!||The day before checkout I enquired about a late checkout for our room as our pick up wasn’t until 7:30pm and was told this would cost 100 euros - we passed! They told me that we could store our belongings from midday and use the shower and changing rooms in the spa centre. So this is what we decided to do, however at around 5pm when we asked to use these facilities we were told the spa centre had no showers and we had to use the steam room and the bowl of water in there to wash with. It was at this point, after literally not complaining about anything all week that I lost it and demanded a room to shower and change in! After arguing for over half an hour and being told it was impossible, the staff member finally relented and took us to a room - very begrudgingly! ||We have honestly, never been so happy to get on the transfer coach and go home as we were on Thursday!

We were very satisfied with everything. The food was delicious, and the beach is in a great location. I would especially like to mention the gentleman working at the beach (I don’t know his name, but he resembles the tennis player Alcaraz). He truly deserves a raise—he is always smiling and works incredibly hard 😊

We spent a week in Bodrum and its beautiful surroundings, including a stay at this particular accommodation. To summarize: the images provided are completely misleading and bear little resemblance to the actual condition of the property! Having stayed at various all-inclusive hotels around the world, I can confidently say that this was by far the most disappointing experience. The staff were another letdown: half spoke no languages at all, while the other half seemed disingenuous and solely motivated by tips. They showed little interest in guests and offered no genuine hospitality. At checkout, not a single question was asked about our stay — no feedback requested, no interest shown in our experience. Nothing. When it comes to entertainment for adults, there is absolutely nothing on offer. No programs, no activities — nothing whatsoever. In conclusion, this was a deeply disappointing experience, and we have no intention of returning to the area!! If you’re considering booking here, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere — even without seeing the alternatives firsthand, you’re likely to have a far better experience.

I stayed here for five days and my experience was beyond terrible. Everything looked fine until we walked into our room. There were nice pools and acceptable food, but the rooms were horrible. First of all, the rooms were not very clean overall and the beds were very small. There was no hot water in the bathrooms so showering was a struggle. Also the key card to the room stopped working after 2 or 3 uses and when we gave it to the front desk they acted like this happens all the time. Another thing is that every night they blast music outside till midnight and it made it very difficult to sleep. Overall, this hotel was unacceptable.

This is not a hotel you want to visit. There is a major lack of hygiene (The bed sheets weren't changed, the plates for food were not cleaned well). The room was very small with a TV the size of an iPad and the card to open the room never worked. If you lose your card, you'll have to pay money to get another which is very unnecessary. The food seemed cheap but was okay, although I definitely expected better. The pictures on the website looked very nice and the cost of staying was expensive so I was looking forward to having a good time but was definitely disappointed. Music was blasted by the pool during nighttime until 12 and could be heard from my room, so it was hard to sleep. you like it posted The pools are nice but that is the only redeemable quality this hotel has. Do not come here.
