The Bodrum Edition

Let's get one thing out of the way first. This is a monsterously expensive hotel. Everything is expensive. You can get 80% of the experience for a fraction of the price elsewhere. So, manage your expectations accordingly. So, with that out of the way - let's talk about the property first. It's beautifully located along a thin and gorgeous ***** of sand in a beautiful and calm bay, with rooms perched along the steep topography up to the beautiful entrance lobby. There are very steep buggy paths and numerous stairs to get around the property, and buggy service is always swift and efficient. We stayed in a large king room with sofa bed, which was huge and well appointed. Everything was modern and well designed, with the only detail missing was the ability to cast personal devices to the TV, it wasn't functional at the time of this review so we were unable to watch the Eurocup final on the big screen. A minor detail. A key detail, however, was the engineering for the rooms, temps were close to 40c and rooms got to a comfortably cool temperature for sleep easily, which was the first hotel in turkey to cope with the excessive heat in the couple weeks prior. Bravo for that! The pool and beach area are beautiful, comfortable and well staffed. I would have preferred the pool to be a little cooler given the excessive heat but the sea was a perfect temperature to cool off, and the sand was lovely. The food for breakfast and lunch was top notch and dinner at the Kitchen was superb, best dining experience we've had in Turkey and would return for that alone. Room service was fast and well prepared, very good for room service! We didn't try the Italian or Japanese restaurant as we went into the surrounding towns to try more local food. We also skipped the Spa. But the real standout, honestly speaking, was the service and the staff. Seriously top shelf. The hotel is nice, but wouldn't rank in my top 10 nicest by any stretch, but the people and level of service, and details of the service, were absolutely top 3 experiences. They are really what made this an exceptional stay and, to my budget, well worth it. From the room cleaning including cable organization, to the incredible front of house staff at every touch point. Can't speak highly enough - bravo to the team, you all work so hard to make the stay special and you succeeded in every way. Special shout out to Aleksandra! So in summary, this hotel isn't for everyone and that's fine. If you've got the budget to not worry about price, than this is a perfect home base to explore wonderful Bodrum.

Fourth time at the Edition Bodrum and it never disappoints. The most significant comment is that during all of my stays, there can sometimes be little glitches along the way like at any hotel. The way they are handled at Edition always with the highest level of courtesy and politeness is remarkable! Thank you and well done Feels like a boutique hotel even in high season or during Bayram. The staff is exceptional and the accommodations, setting and facilities are beautiful. Will be back in just a few weeks again. A special thanks to Can at the Kitchen restaurant for breakfast (and Alexandra), Bügra at the beach and Suzan housekeeping! You are all fabulous. And that is just naming a few. Last but not least, to the concierge team accommodating me on a frequent basis, I thank you!! And to the GM Mustafa, you're doing an outstanding job! Best, Kim Diethelm

Belal was a amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our room was spottless clean and organise! Thanks again and looking forward to coming and staying again.

The whole experience from arrival to the restaurants to the people to the pool to the beach club is incredible. We have never experienced people like this. All I can say is there is one heck of a management to achieve this level. Simply superb experience that we throughly recommend..

Very Good service and friendly staff beautiful views, so many great experiences, super good hotel location nice and comfortable for everyone nice pool and beach but to many waves in the location, and should let know the client if the season is about to end.

This property is absolutely stunning and also provides impeccable service, fantastic food quality for all meals and an unbeatable beach side experience. There are many excellent staff members with depth, character and humility that will positively influence your stay.. one that stood out in particular is Fatih working at the beach club. Do yourself a favor and book your stay now.

Amazing experience at The Edition Bodrum. We came for our babymoon and it exceeded our expectations. We were hoping to relax and get great service and we got just that! We felt so relaxed and pampered. Suzan from housekeeping was so very welcoming and professional. We loved her!
