We are a family of three traveling from Germany. This is our first time to visit Bodrum. Our little one is eight. This is our last evening at Olira Boutique Hotel. We wanted to stay away from large all-inclusive resorts with lots of people and far from everywhere. Olira boutique hotel was ideally located in the center of the Gündoğan Bay. Stores and restaurants are within the walking distance. Very safe neighborhood. We stayed in the last week of July/beginning August (high season) for 8 nights. The hotel was busy but not overcrowded. We always had a table at the hotel restaurant and sun decks on the pier in front of the hotel. The hotel pool was never been crowded. Majority of the guests are Turkish. We think we were one of the very few guests from abroad. Hotel staff do not speak much English, but they are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel manager, Orcan made our holiday truly wonderful. He was trained in global high-end resort hotels in Asia. He makes sure that we are comfortable and happy about our holiday. He helped us to book great neighboring restaurants and private boat trips. Orcan is highly professional, extremely attentive and caring. We have breakfasts and lunches at the hotel, and dinners outside. Hotel provides very tasty foods but more continental / international style so that once a day, we ate more traditional Turkish dishes locally outside the hotel. It seems that hotel was recently renovated. Every facilities and amenities are new. Very clean place everywhere, the room, common places, and the private beach space in front of the hotel. Booking was a stress free. We booked through *********** first, but we had a family emergency to cancel our original booking in early July. The second booking, we booked directly with the hotel. Orcan gave us a great price as well as to arrange a room with great pool & ocean view. Every evening, we stayed on our balcony listening the waves and prayers from local monks. We definitely will be back! Mamiko
