Salinas Beach Hotel Bodrum-Boutique Concept

Absolutely shocking hotel. Arrived for a 2 week stay first room we were given was dirty, only enough room for the bed and no wardrobe. The air conditioning unit was hanging off the wall and holes with live wires. Demanded a move and was moved to a larger room however this wasn't much better. Mold and rust throughout with exposed wires. See photos. The grounds were full of weeds and discarded pieces of furniture. The food was terrible cold, bland and very limited choice in the 2 weeks we were there chicken, and kofta were the only thing served along with chicken nuggets at most meals. Food ran out and wasn't replaced we ended up paying to eat out and could not face the food. On a plus point if you want to eat salads all holiday they were OK. The drinks were again bland and very limited served in glasses that were constantly getting broken around by the pool. Running out several times especially the coffee. The person behind the bar was a wannabe DJ playing very loud inappropriate music with swearing not the type of music for the age demographics staying at the hotel. Despite several requests to turn the music down by multiple people the music remained loud competing with the music in the other hotels nearby resulting in a loud garbled mess which you were not able to relax. The Hotel has the potential to be a gem but the lack of attention to detail and staff who don't care. With a little TLC this hotel could be so much more given the great location 30 seconds to the beach. I will let the photos

Basic. Poor quality. Dirty. Pretty run-down 3* hotel. Food was very limited, hardly any choice, and so, so repetitive. But tasty. The *only* time in a week the housekeeping came to the room was to empty the one bin. No replacement towels, no change of linen, no re-stock of toiletries (only 3 tiny bottles supplied), no sweeping or cleaning, the toilet was revolting, the shower was powerful but kept falling out of its wall mounting... Outside, pool area was much better - lots of sunbeds, nice clean pool. Decent location, 150m fm beach. Staff all lovely.

Family hotel. Very nice service. Safe and fridge in the room. Water in the room every day. Nothing was missing from the room :) Barman Mehmut was very helpful and nice as was the rest of the hotel staff including the owner. I have very fond memories of the week-long family stay :)

The hotel may be an option among alternatives in terms of cost assessment of benefits. Unlike its name, Salinas Beach Hotel is not a beach hotel, but it is very close to Gümbet beach. The hotel consists of several two-story detached outbuildings the main service building and additional guest rooms. For example, imagine a Mediterranean style with blue, sand tones and white on the walls inside and outside, raw wood in the furniture, light summery materials in the textiles; but here at the entrance you are met with a dark and gloomy heavy color scale and there is an unsightly mess in the decor. From the hotel staff, especially at the reception, Ms. Ilknur was friendly and friendly in a flurry of service. It was a pity that we could not hear and see the kind bellboy who helped us with our luggage when we got to the hotel and rented the hotel right in front of the grocery store on the beach, which is about 600mt from the main service building, and introduced the hotel and the beach the next day was dismissed. If there is no valid reason, the high staff turnover damages the sense of belonging of employees, the learning of new people and the process of adaptation to the enterprise negatively affects the quality of service. As a matter of fact, the glum face of the person they started instead of did not give a positive sign that he loved his job. In addition, we had to carry all the luggage ourselves when we left the hotel. As I mentioned earlier, the hotel does not have a beachfront due to its location. after walking for about 5 minutes, you can throw a towel in the morning and reach the sun loungers, which are insufficient because they are very limited in number due to the rude people who occupy the space all day long. It is also worth noting that the floor of the area where the sun beds are located is concrete. The beach is blue-flagged, the sea is quite clear, you can swim with the fish, but the water is relatively cool. If you are going to enter in front of a contracted grocery store, the floor of the sea is not cleared of rocks and it suddenly deepens, which can be a danger. It is also not a pleasant situation if you have to greet all the stinking garbage containers in the summer heat until you land on the beach. I would also like to note that we have experienced a delay and associated hesitation at least at the point of pre-collection with a non-institutional approach to the booking process. When we arrived at the hotel, we found that there was no need to worry about the sincerity of the family business. We sent our request to the hotel together with the online form to arrange our room with a sea or pool view if possible during the reservation we made months ago, but it was a disappointment that it was not taken into account. Like most rooms, our view was zero, of course, the concrete wall opposite you immediately narrows your interior when you go out to the balcony, but the hotel also has no promise to offer a view to everyone. The fact that you
