DoubleTree by Hilton Bodrum Isil Club All-Inclusive Resort

Loved our stay for 2 nights. The service was much better than other hotels we have stayed at in Turkey. The little things matter like waitresses checking every time your drink looked low and providing another and arranging archery for our boys even though we missed the designated time. Yassine in the animation was awesome getting the dancing going and constantly smiling. Food was good for an all inclusive and plenty to eat whatever time of day. We used the tennis courts and basketball courts and table tennis. Views are lovely and smart jetty’s over the water for sun bathing and decent small beach. Pool and sun bathing area is nice and clean.

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.

-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.

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 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.

UPDATE: the hotel team took my review very seriously, and asked for further feedback. I really appreciate the approach. Attached a picture of a note we received. Stayed 4 nights, 2 adults + 1 small child (1.5 years old) in the second half of September (off-season). Rooms: King’s Superior Room, small, cramped with a child. Ground-floor terrace very close to neighbors - no privacy, noise, and cigarette smoke. Mosquito problem despite nets and warnings. Must keep AC on at night. Food & Dining: Breakfast and dinner are served in one canteen-style restaurant - feels crowded, especially at dinner time, even off-season. Quality and variety is good, but no fresh orange juice or fresh juices at breakfast (not 5-star standard). Coffee is really bad. Dinner 19:30–22:30 = late for families, with long queues at opening. Two à la carte restaurants exist, but one was closed in September, and both require extra payment despite the “all-inclusive” label. Beach: Very good. Sandy areas + wooden platforms, spacious, doesn’t feel crowded. We specifically chose this hotel because it offers a sandy sea entrance, which is perfect and safe for a small child. Family & Kids: Stroller accessible with ramps. Kids’ club available (not used due to age). Kids’ pool is shaded — excellent for small children. Evening entertainment for kids from 21:00 to 21:30, small but nice. At dinner, staff refused a simple request to rinse our baby’s silicone plate, saying it was not possible, which felt unhelpful for a supposedly family-friendly resort. Entertainment & Atmosphere: From 21:00 there’s a small evening program with music and dancing. During the day, starting around 9:00, the pool area has music — relaxing lounge music until about 11:00, which improves the atmosphere. After that, it switches to loud dance beats to support pool activities (e.g., parkour, darts etc). It looks fun for adults, but it’s not suitable if your baby needs to nap by the pool. There are enough garden areas away from the pool for baby to nap. Service: Staff are generally friendly and welcoming, but some policies and attitudes lack flexibility, especially for families with small children. Facilities: Very green resort with lots of trees and gardens. No running track or space for jogging. Gym is a decent size and well equipped. Overall: Feels more like 4 stars than true 5-star luxury.

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.

It was okay - the hotel looks new from a distance, but the facilities are worn out, especially at the beach and around the pool, where the loungers and chairs are quite old.The food is typical all-inclusive. Everything is sufficient, but nothing special.Overall too expensive for what you get.

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.
