EL VINO HOTEL & SUITES Luxe

The hotel is well-located, not too far from the city center and far from any noise. When we enter it looks like a hidden gem, the design is beautiful and everything has been carefully done. The breakfast displays a lot of local food which gives a real taste of Bodrum food. The bedroom is very comfortable and follows the hotel philosophy. As I forgot my Jacket in the bedroom, the staff did everything possible to send it back to me.

There is little we could say that hasn't already been said. Everyone seems to love this place and now that we have been there, we know why. This place definitely lives up to everything it promises. The atmosphere is all but magical. A green Oasis in the middle of Bodrum. Visitors are offered all sorts of treats, among them the many home-made delicacies served for breakfast or in the hotel's own roof top restaurant with the stunning view. Quality of rooms and service is superb in line with everything else. The only regret we have is that our stay in this fabulous place was too short. We are definitely looking forward to come back.

Hotel & staff: We had seen pictures and read the reviews but it really exceeded our expectations. So relaxing and beautiful! The whole space is filled with trees and flowers. The main pool is very nice; the rooms are spacious, nicely designed, and are very clean! The staff are as friendly as can be, and go the extra mile to please their guests. We asked for toothpaste which we suspect they went and got for us from the store so as not to turn us down. How cute is that' They even decorated our room, prepared a special breakfast (and champagne!) on the roof with amazing views AND gave us a rooftop jaccuzi for free since we had mentioned we were going on a second honeymoon! FOOD: Breakfast is served till 11 AM which was a relief. A varied buffet with tons of local cheeses to taste. There's something for everyone on there. Tea/coffee time in the afternoon by the pool is complimentary with some freshly prepared snacks. The rooftop restaurant boasts the best view in Bodrum at sunset and the food is divine with many affordable dishes. We highly recommend the lobster ravioli and the veal with café de Paris sauce. There is also a cute little poolside restaurant for quick lunches. It's surrounded by greenery. The food is pretty good as well! Location & transportation: The taxis ordered by reception arrive within minutes, with fixed prices and special discounts making for the cheapest rides in Bodrum. The bus station and city center are about 10 mins away on foot, and the marina would be around 15mins. The walk is very enjoyable with typical white and blue houses and shops all around. Can be a bit steep on the way back up for some people since the hotel is on a hill, especially in the summer heat. A taxi from the center is 10 TL if you're feeling lazy. P.S: There were a bunch of cats hanging around, especially when food was served during the day and a very cute and quiet dog that wouldn't hurt a fly.

This is a delightful hotel. Super friendly staff, wonderful oasis of blossoms and plants and Pools, in hot Bodrum. Rooms are comfortable, and ours had a quaint balcony with views to the sea. We enjoyed lying by the pool, under the blossoms, sipping a glass of wine. We had dinner on their terrace, and the food was excellent, the baby calamari was superb. The breakfast was also a treat, very wide selection of good quality local and authentic food, great fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and breads. Well done El Vino. We will be back and stay for longer.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as we walked through the door, we felt at peace and were made welcome. It's a beautiful property with top-notch service. The staff are more than kind, they are attentive to your every needs. The pool area is gorgeous and in fact we decided to spend more time there than at the beach. The hotel's beach is very nice and peaceful, too. But not as quiet as their pool. :) The restaurant is phenomenal (first REAL chocolate soufflé and crab cakes I've had in Turkey!) and the bartender by the pool is one of the friendliest and best we've ever met. My only regret is that our stay wasn't longer, because leaving this hotel was painful! We will definitely go back there ASAP.
