Duja Bodrum Reviews

Recently stayed as a couple for our 10th wedding annivesary, I try to be as factual and honest with all reviews and this will be no different. Location: located around 30 minutes from Bodrum airport and about the same from Bodrum town, it’s ideal if you want out of the way but close enough to be able to visit the town. Located on a main road and built into a hillside the hotel offers some stunning views where ever you are located in the hotel. Be advised this hotel is very hilly and steep, however for guests with limited mobility there are lifts to all levels including from the hotel to the beach. Room: We were allocated room 202 in the main building, we payed for a sea view and got exactly that. The room itself was very spacious with ample storage space, a safe and minibar which we did not use, the room was nicely presented and the bed was super comfortable and was at least a superking sized bed, I found the pillows a little to hard but I’m sure they would provide softer pillows if requested, I was sensible and took one of my own from home. The shower was powerful and hot water was always running. The only thing I can fault the room for was the balcony was not covered, not a problem if the sun is shining but we did have 1 day of rain so was unable to sit out on the balcony. The air conditioning in the room was great and worked well. Pool: the main pool is huge and has music playing during the day with lots of activities going on, provided by the entertainment staff, they do come round and invite you to join in but if you say No they leave you alone to relax, activities include Yoga, water gym, pool games, darts, water polo and the mandatory club dance you get at every Turkish hotel. The pool I don’t believe is heated but is ok when you get in the water and great respite from the blazing Turkish sunshine. Food and Drink: There is a massive choice of food and drink available at all times during the day, ranging, from breakfast lunch and dinner to snack bars and a patisserie and onsite Starbucks coffee. Unfortunately the food is very hit and miss, breakfast consisted of ready mate omlettes which were often cold as they cook so many at a time, spicy sausage fried eggs that were never properly cooked( I must add they would cook fresh eggs to your liking on request) and a range of foods aimed at Eastern European guests, like ham cheese and salads. There was a small choice of cereals and a toaster if you wanted it with jams chocolate and delicious honey straight from the honeycomb. Lunch consisted of soups stews and chicken or fish. There was always a fresh salad which was actually very nice with a selection of dressings. For dinner there was a choice of fish chicken or beef and had a bbq section outside separate from the main dining hall, apart from breakfast it was literally a free for all with people pushing in front and not caring about queues or the fact you may have been waiting in line for 10 minutes plus, I have stayed in many Tur
