We booked an absolute beauty with both Turkbuku (north Bodrum coast) and the Elista Hotel & Spa. We didn't realise it at the time, but Bodrum is a huge place with a lot of places you wouldn’t want to end up in. But if you like car free promenades with incredible selection of restaurants, then we would really recommend Turkbuku. It's just a great little fishing village with everything you need in walking distance. We picked the Elista because it was good value for money and the placed looked pretty perfect on **********. When we stayed, we found out it was so much better, and it all started with the lovely family that runs the hotel and work pretty hard to keep you happy. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were so kind to us and made the stay really great. We had a pool room suite which was fantastic in the afternoon to chill out. Our friends had a sea view suite and it's worth paying the extra as that's a great view with lovely sun loungers. Breakfast was an absolute delight with great coffee and fresh bread, fruits, meats and cheese. My favourite bit, was the sun deck and bar area on the shore line with easy access for safe swimming and a great selection of sun loungers. Service was amazing! Our one regret is we didn't try out the spa but our friends did and loved it. All in all, highly recommended, spotlessly cleaned every day and we will definitely go back. Tip: the hotel can arrange a car and driver to collect you from the airport. Plenty of metered yellow taxis in the town at great prices for trips to the city and they all seemed to speak excellent English as well as help with your Turkish.
