DoubleTree by Hilton Bodrum Isil Club All-Inclusive Resort

Old resort, acquired by Hilton and renovated some time ago. It is well maintained and clean, service is nice, but this is not a 5 star resort in my view. Food was comparable to a full board 3 star hotel. Very small rooms with old school layout, and limited facilities. Would be a borderline 5 star review if it was a 4 star resort

The staff are exceptionally friendly and service-oriented, and the deluxe rooms are fine. However, the hotel was a huge disappointment and did not at all match the photos. The standard rooms smelled musty, as if there was a leak. I reported this and the staff arranged an upgrade, which was great. The food was very disappointing compared to other Turkish all-inclusive hotels, and the sea is definitely not a beautiful bay. This is absolutely not a resort and certainly not the quality you expect from a Hilton brand, let alone worthy of 5 stars. I only endured the stay because cancellation was not possible. I will never come back, not even if I have children. The staff are very warm-hearted that’s basically all that can be said. No value for money; I even regret my stay and the choice to book this hotel. Overall, I am quite disappointed.

We were at the hotel from 19.06 to 30.06, for 11 nights, so we had plenty of time to enjoy our stay and form our impressions. We are a family with a 2-year-old child and a dog, and we don't prioritize active entertainment, animation, or similar activities. We prefer unobtrusive service and a moderate vacation, so this hotel was perfect for us. The advantages of the hotel include: 1. Incredibly beautiful views and a clear, crystal-clear sea. 2. A smooth, sandy entry into the sea. 3. Green area. Many people write that it is small, but in our opinion, it is sufficient. Perhaps we have not visited hotels with a huge area, so we had enough space here. 4. Restaurant service, delicious food, and good desserts (I am not a fan of cakes and pastries in Turkish hotels, but I liked them here). Our two-year-old child does not eat fast food (fries, nuggets, etc., like some children), and there was always something suitable for a child's diet. 5. The hotel's clientele consists of pleasant, well-mannered, mostly family-oriented individuals. Cons: 1. In the initial days, there were difficulties with communication: reception, housekeeping. I had to ask several times for an additional set of towels for the child (we had two sets, although we were the second family to check in: mom, dad, and a child). 2. The absence or insufficient availability of internet in the beach area and on the piers. Since vacationers spend a lot of time in these locations, this issue is quite significant. 3. The mini bar in the room is not replenished without a request (only upon arrival). My husband specifically asked the maid, who did not understand or speak English, to replenish the mini bar, but when she was not on duty, the other staff did not do so. 4. Poor soundproofing: Our room was located near an evening bar, so the music was very loud in the evening, and we sometimes had to put our child to sleep with earplugs. 5. Narrow beach: it's really quite small, although we always found sunbeds for ourselves in the morning (usually came by 10:00). There's not much space for a child to play in the sand. 6. In the first days, the breakfasts seemed meager, but with each passing day, our opinion changed, and by the end of our stay, we concluded that there was enough for breakfast. Despite everything, we had many pleasant memories of our vacation upon arrival, so we gave this hotel 5 stars.

Where do i begin? As a lifetime diamond member this was my first time at this resort and it was complete disappointment. You would think double tree would have a standard! The location is nice but the hotel offered no shuttles from and to downtown. The real-estate is gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful. They tried to keep up however, as a doubletree, Hilton, it was a very big disappointment. The rooms are moderately small, and dated...which is okay. The service was right marginally acceptable. But the food selection it was atrocious. Whil they head large quantities this election type of quality was very poor. Fruits in the season were not being offered. The types of fish offered were redundant and the same. There is hardly ever.It meats offerings of quality. No alternative milks i.e coconut milk or almond milk offered. The simplest like cherries plumbs nectarines or peaches were offered. Lastly no gluten free offerings! I have stayed at other all-inclusive resorts in turkey in Antalya and mugla 6 times before and was in awe everytime. But this place never again.

We had a wonderful stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Bodrum Işıl Club. The location in Torba is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. Our room was modern, very clean, and had a lovely sea-view balcony. The main restaurant offered a wide range of tasty local and international food, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The beach area and large pool were always clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the calm, well-maintained atmosphere. There are lots of activities for both adults and children, including water slides, tennis courts, and entertainment. The spa was also a highlight — professional and relaxing. Above all, the service was excellent. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an all-inclusive resort experience in Bodrum.

The resort decor is dated but still has its early 2000 charms. The location was isolated if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. Went in early May, whilst unusually chilly, there were quite a number of guests staying which was a lively vibe. The water was clear and clean. The staff were fantastic and friendly, personable and helpful. Was pleasantly surprised by the staff coordinating a rather romantic welcome. The inclusive package made it convenient with meals. The morning breakfast buffet was a treat with everything you would want from the Western and Turkish experience, with an extensive selection of pastries and breads, olives and cheeses. As well as a dedicated chef to cook your eggs how you like it. The food in the pool canteen could be improved out of breakfast/lunch/dinner time. The garden facing bedroom was comfortable and had all the essentials, the bed was firm which is perfect for us. Lots of friendly cats and very well behaved. Really enjoyed the stay and breakfast. Perhaps time to upgrade the outdoor space for a modern feel with day beds, hammocks and all day menu of Turkish pides.

-update, they offered a bigger room in the main building again with sofa bed. Main building rooms vs club rooms differ quite much- I couldnt agree more to the comment regarding the rooms being cramped. Staying as 3 adults in King Superior room is really not possible at all. There is no place to walk if you stay as 3 adults. These rooms shouldn’t be marketed as suitable for 3 adults. These are basically normal 2 adult size rooms with addition of couch that can turn into bed which is not comfortable at all. To be fair we were aware that there was the couch option however rooms in the pictures looked much roomier, in reality small with no space to turn around. Besides than that Food options are really varying and tasteful, which we enjoyed. The personnel in the restaurants are helpful and running around to answer everyone’s requests. Sea is great, sandy beach area really tight as well.

We stayed here in the deluxe room from 19th-23rd May. Overall we had a nice experience. Positives on our stay were good cleanliness all around in our room, around seating areas inside and outside. The resort exceeded our expectations compared to the advertisement as we’re pleased with the size of the resort. The location and scenery were impressive and the water was inviting and clean. The pier and beach were a beautiful spot to walk on, relax and take pictures. The atmosphere was lively, music was uplifting both by pool and sunset lounge. There were a couple of engaging activities in the pool - dancing and volleyball. This is a perfect place for families and couples. The breakfast included sweet and savoury pastries, there are enough options to satisfy. There were a variety of options in lunch and dinner. Unlike other all inclusive hotels, the food here was well seasoned, full of flavour and makes you want to go back for more. While some foods are repetitive, you do get your money’s worth. Plenty of grilled options and healthy salads. The fruit and dessert options were tasty and fresh. In all of the bars there are alcoholic and non alcoholic options with friendly bartenders. On our last day, it was busier towards peak times, then we noticed there were more food options in the snack bar and a fresh BBQ outside by the pool at 5:30. All staff were friendly and polite, however there was a language barrier. Many of which could not speak English which affected our stay as they could not understand us. With the ‘Hilton’ name, we expected English to be spoken and understood by most staff as expected of the Hilton. The experience didn’t feel as special, most staff spoke only Turkish. This language barrier prevented us from ordering food, making reservations or communicating with staff which was not ideal. If you are thinking to come here from a primarily English speaking country such as the UK, you may struggle to communicate with staff. The staff at reception however were excellent, friendly and spoke clear English. What seemed to surprise us was the fact that there was no doctor on site who spoke English fluently. In this case, communication is vital as there could be an emergency.

Very nice all inclusive hotel right on the beach... and it is a very nice sea, calm crystal clear waters with the option to sunbathe on the grass area or on one of the piers. The hotel is not too big that it is overwhelming, it is a good medium size. The personnel is warm and helpful. One major shortfall is that the food and drinks could be better quality. Not bad but simply average... an area for improvement but nonetheless good value for money hotel for a relaxing holiday.
