The Marmara Bodrum

Fantastic hotel with beautifully designed rooms, public areas and pool. A very good balance between beauty, comfort and practicality. The team is friendly and the breakfast was delightful. If we can give a bit of feedback, please improve the quality of your cocktails in the pool bar. And perhaps train your polite young staff in the pool and restaurant to be more proactive in service such as clearing up dirty plates and being more knowledgeable about restaurant recommendations outside of your own hotel. Small feedback only. Otherwise we had a perfectly wonderful time and a very restful sleep.

The hotel was very good. Situated at the top of the hill we had a room overlooking the town and harbour. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Tugba on reception was extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good. Lots of fresh fruit, cheeses and pastries as well as eggs, etc. The breakfast staff were again very helpful. We ate in Tuti the restaurant twice. The food was very nice if a little pricey.

This is specifically for the massage service I received at the Marmara Bodrum hotel. I bought a sport massage service for 60 minutes and was very unsatisfied with the whole experience. Walking into the massage/spa area, I could hear loud music from the gym. There was nothing they could do to lower the volume even though no one was using the gym. The masseuse who took care of me was not dressed properly. He was in his gym clothes with short! Before the massage he asked whether there was any part he should watch out for, I told him “no butt”. During the massage, he completely ignored the instructions and went for my buttocks anyway. After the massage, the knots on my shoulders are still there. Overall, I did not feel relaxed from the moment I came in to the moment I walked out of that place. The masseuse brushed through my knots without realizing them. His massage license and training are questionable. Edited 10/22/2024: I changed the services from 1 to 5 ⭐️ since they willing to listen to customer feedback and addressed my concerns in timely manner. Just one minor suggestion for the hotel is please don’t reveal my identity like using my real name in public forum. Thanks!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The property is absolutely beautiful, both day and night, and the view from the swimming pool is simply stunning. Situated up on a hill, it offers a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though fairly standard.||The restaurant, however, is exceptional—every dish we tried was delicious. A special mention goes to the hostesses Ahmet, Tuba, Gokhan, and Burak, who were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful throughout our stay.||I would definitely return to this hotel in the future!

Great service, wonderful food and excellent staff! We stayed in this hotel for 3 wonderful days and had a great time! The pool area and the restaurant have great view of the Bodrum harbor and great location for enjoy sunset.|There are 2 pools and both are cleanly maintained.

Great rooms, amazing breakfast with a view of the castle and the marinas, and very attentive service. The hotel is 15-20 minutes walking from Bodrum’s shore, taxis are easy to get and has shuttle to another beach hotel (I did not use it). All in all is a great proposition for someone looking for a high quality hotel with great views and no stress.

Really great hotel the view of Bodrum from the swimming pool is fabulous. Gokhan and the team were extremely helpful in recommending nearby restaurants and how to get around. We had dinner one evening at the hotel and really enjoyed it, the breakfast options are also terrific, can’t recommend enough.

Because of a wedding, all guests were prevented from from using the main hotel pool. Instead of a bustling pool hotel guests had to use an unattended pool. No umbrellas were open because they were broken. There was no water to drink, forget the ability to order a drink. When I callled the|Front desk. To request opening the broken umbrella and to bring water no one came despite an assurance that someone would come. ||If the hotel is going to only cater to wedding guests. It should not accept outside reservations. If it accepts my reservation I should have full use of the facilities ||Very disappointed

Just got back from a Turkey trip and this hotel was amazing! Great food, clean rooms, smells amazing like a spa throughout the hotel (I'm someone who is sensitive to perfume smells and it doesn't even trigger headaches!!), polite staff, and the SPA. I have had the world's best massage there by Siman. I am very picky when it comes to massages and he is not only knowledgeable without you having to list out all your ailments, but also very kind and is strong enough to break down some serious knots! The only reason I'm deducting a star is because the AC/heating system doesn't seem to really work well. My room stayed relatively warm when I had it cranked down to the lowest setting, but it was tolerable enough to sleep at night. I just prefer slightly crisper.

Okay so I've been here for a few days now and wanted to update my previous review. The food and drinks here are expensive but REALLY good. The breakfast (included in hotel cost) is amazing. You can ask them to bring you eggs however you like. They have an excellent selection of unique Turkish eats (jams, breads, cheeses, etc) and the coffee is good. We have eaten at this hotel a few times and I'd have to say that it's the best food I've had in Bodrum. The only reason I didn't give this hotel 5 stars is because the night life is non-existent and everything is very pricy. BUT... I would stay here again.

One of the best hotels in Bodrum, with a great panorama of the town and the castle from a high ground. The rooms are well decorated, the spa is fantastic. If you get the garden suite rooms you'll have your own patio and garden with the views. Swimming pool is spacious. The restaurant has some good meals and service. Breakfast is good but unfortunately I can't say it's rich, very standard! They don't accept any children in the hotel so this is not for families, just for your info.

3 star service at a 5 star price. Pros; - amazing view - good breakfast - good pool Cons: - Adult only means no children under 12. You will not be spared teenagers doing cannonballs. - The 'private beach' is actually a shuttle ride to a shared beach club facility. There is no beach there, just a wooden jetty and lawn with chairs. There are only 3 shuttles there and back during the day. - The pool chairs at the hotel are ridiculously uncomfortable. - The prices are a ripoff even by resort standards. 16 TL for a coke? - The hotel tells you not to drink the tap water. They instead offer 2 small bottles of free water (330 ml each) per room, per day. You can buy more water at 9 Tl for 750 mL. This is obscene. If you can't provide safe water to drink, charging requires a certain level of gall. - The staff service in the restaurant and pool side is atrocious. You will find staff lolly gagging and doing nothing. You will go and fetch your own drinks and then later try to find someone to close out your tab. You will get your own coffee and drinks at breakfast. Fine for a 3 star, but after paying over 300 euros per night, you expect more. And the sad thing is this was even in midweek with fewer guests. - We made the mistake of sending 3 shirts to be washed. One came back with no sign of being washed. The other was ruined with bleach. The hotel tried to fix this by sending someone to buy a shirt that was in no way comparable in quality or fit. We appreciated the effort, but emblematic of our experience - not quite there. - The front desk was somewhat better, but still odd. I asked for boarding passes to be printed, it took 3 emails to them and then I finally did it on my own in the business center. I asked to break a 20 TL note into smaller bills and coins for tips and was refused since 20 TL is a "small note" - Finally, your ocean view room view may not have a view unless you stick your head out the window and turn your head. We complained and were upgraded to a room that actually allowed us to look directly at the water out our window. I appreciate that the hotel is trying its best. That said, this in no way approaches 5 star service that we've seen elsewhere. I'm not sure more training or more staffing is needed.
