Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum

Really enjoyed our time at the Mandarin Bodrum. The property and facilities (particularly the spa and gym) are exceptional. The team was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. The beach facilities were great (not too crowded even in August) and food options were expansive. The hotel also seems to be a real epicenter of activity in Bodrum with very popular restaurants like Hakkasan and Gigi. That was the only think we didn't really love. However, that could be a real plus for some people. We also visited in the the peak of August and found the congestion at the entrance to the hotel a little annoying. The restaurants are really solid, but again suffer a little bit from the peak season overcrowding and the value proposition is non-existent (and we are pretty acclimated to high prices and still thought the pricing was exorbitant even for a luxury hotel). Some real bright spots on the team were Nilay, the Spa director, who was lovely and a total pro in addressing a hiccup we had on a planned activity. Our guest services person Nupelda was also a highlight. Overall, would recommend and enjoyed our time, but would probably go back at a time other than August. And for people who want a scene, likely a 5 star experience.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are green and lush. The food was incredible. We stayed for 5 nights and opted for the one bedroom apartment which perfectly suited our family of 4. The room was very spacious and cleaned twice daily. It also had a washing machine which was wonderful. There is two beaches of which I would highly recommend Lucca with its soft sand and clear water. There are plenty of dining options to cater for everyone. Watch out for Gigi - while delicious there far too many "influencers" ruining the vibe and taking photos everywhere!! ||The only downside of the hotel is the large crowds that come through from about lunchtime onwards. A lot of external people come through to visit the shops and to dine. While the hotel is lovely and calm in the morning, come the evening I wanted to hide in our apartment. The lobby is chaos and it feels the staff don't know who are guests of the hotel and who are visiting. The food and beverages are also overpriced but you know that before arriving so you expect it.

We had a great experience at the resort. The service was excellent, the place is beautiful, and the rooms are very clean and well-designed. All the staff were friendly and professional — except for the front desk supervisor, who was not pleasant to deal with and gave us a negative impression at first. However, we later met the hotel’s head manager, and he completely turned things around. His attitude was extremely respectful, professional, and welcoming. He handled everything in the best way possible and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied. Because of that, we would definitely come back again and stay at this hotel. Their overall service is truly worth it, and the hospitality we received from the team — especially the head manager — was outstanding.

Property is beautiful and the amenities are next level, truly not comparable to any other hotel in the world. The only comment here is the service is variable all over the property. You could have wonderful staff at the spa and at the restaurants, then go to the beach and no one comes over to take orders or help set up beach chairs. This would not deter me from going again, this is an amazing location and a spectacular hotel. They just need to create consistency across service.

a wonderful hotel, it does not get worse with age. And despite the fact that the prices for rooms are rising, it is probably still the best hotel in Turkey. The team is also great; well done, they create conditions for rest for the whole family. Well done. Will have to come back next season again.

Everything about the spa experience was above expectations, from the warm greetings to the post-service poolside lounging. Every employee was exceptionally kind and paid great attention to detail. Paran provided an excellent facial and was very knowledgeable about the products being used. Adelie provided an equally excellent pregnancy massage. They ensured optimal comfort and truly went above and beyond to make the experience one of a kind. This is my first time at the Mandarin Oriental, however I am already looking forward to planning another visit!!

I had a lovely stay at the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, and the beach area is beautiful. While most of the staff were friendly and helpful, service at times felt a bit slow for a hotel of this level. Overall, a great experience — just a few small details away from being perfect.

I arrived in a VIP car and was taken away by the view on entry. The staff are very helpful and the food and drinks are good at the restaurants close by too, I will say it’s on the pricey side so be mindful but then again what would you except for a 5 star hotel. It definitely lives up to its name and one of the nicest I’ve stayed worldwide!

Welcome to the claustrophobic beach where boats park and block your view...! Food and service below average for what you are paying, there are so many other better choices in Bodrum.

Most beautiful Mandarin Oriental I have ever visited. Truly an amazing experience. The service is absolutely excellent, people a very friendly, the restaurants are great and top quality, the rooms are espectacular! I recommend this for couples who want to relax. The hotel is very private, and very romantic.

Stunning rooms and hotel... but for what you pay for the service stinks. You have to pay for wifi also, and everything else you eat/drink/or even touch you have to pay for.
