KEMPINSKI HOTEL BARBAROS BAY

My third time here and it's always a perfect stat. Excellent service, beautiful sea, amazing hotel and rooms. I think it's the only place where u can't find any cons. Because they simply do not exist. Great entertainment with live music, delicious sushi and Italian food. Will definitely come back! Thank you for keeping always such a high standard! Anastasia

We visited in early July 2017 (Family of 7 adults and 2 kids). Pros: -Nice, clean and relaxing beach & sea -Service at beach was good -Nice views from the breakfast and pool area -Kids club was okay. -Water sports are present, which was fun Cons: -Secluded Bay with nothing close -Long and expensive drives to any area in Bodrum (25 mins to bodrum city, 45 mins to palmarina, 50 mins to airport) -Routes to the city centre or palmarina pass through a forest which is completely dark at night. Bumpy ride due to worn out roads, you need at least 15 mins to reach the main road. -Expensive rides from hotel (65 euros). Hotel does nothing to make it easier to reach the city (shuttle bus etc) -Although we visited in July, the hotel was extremely empty with nearly no one on the pool. There were few people on the beach and in breakfast. -The hotel is completely dead after 11pm with absolutely no cafe open. No activity at night whatsover, such as live band. -Breakfast buffet was okay. We complained more than once regarding the egg station, omelette was not cooked enough. -Although staff are friendly, many don't speak English (Especially housekeeping). So we had to inform the reception about our requests, which were sometimes not taken into consideration (We informed them more than once to spray for insects, and they ignored our request) - Beach is far, you need to take the golf car to the beach. You can walk, but it is a long walk -Since we traveled as a family, and we all paid the same, rooms were different in size and different in balcony size. Some had fruit plates as complimentary gesture, some did not. Some of us were given free 15-min massage, and some did not. Conclusion: - I wouldnt visit again, and don't recommend it to anyone unless you're looking for an extremely quiet trip and if you don't plan to leave the hotel everyday. You're better off staying somewhere in Torba or Turkbuku, where there is easy access to a main road.

Perfect resort hidden gem in the outskirts of Bodrum , unreal hotel flawless views ,staff and food A must stay if visiting a true luxury expierince the staff were amazing the rooms clean and semi modern the grounds well kept and beautiful . Will definitely recommend this to anyone on a bigger budget !

It was our first visit to this hotel. We've visited hotel in May. The first positive imression we had mailing our questions to reservation office, concierge and especially to Guest relation manager Victoria. We had great and fast service not even coming to hotel yet! We've arrived at hotel at 11 in the morning and were checked-in withought waiting time. We've liked the hotel so much and appreciate the special atmosphere of great relax vacation in it. It's not traditional Turkey hotel with All incklusive system and a lot of people. This is the place for enjoy of every minute. Positive: - good room with great view and amenities - great breakfast with 4 type of fresh juice and omelette that made for you - spectacular views from territory - warm and big indoor pool - good sauna and steam room facilities - lifts to the both beach - great main pool with big dense umbrella and comfy loungers - good dinner with free water (with gas or withought), great meat options (on grill) - great service - brilliant cleaning and turn down service in room. Things to improve: - not comfy matrasses in room (you can ask for other) - both beach wasn't ready for using (after storm) - average Cesar salad in Lounge cafe near the main pool (but great soup) We definitely recommend this hotel to visit! it was one of the best hotel all over the world that we've visited! We will be back with a pleasure!

Had a seven night stay in the Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay in June 2017, which fell over Ramadhan which meant that we had this five star two hundred odd room hotel almost to ourselves. Which while providing the peace and quiet we crave there was a loss of atmosphere you would expect. The low occupancy did not affect the service in the hotel and we found it to be attentive, warm and professional at all times. The hotel has a huge outdoor pool with a large number of beds, a adults only jetty attached to the hotel and a private beach again with an adult section a short walk and lift ride away. There are also expansive gym, indoor pool, hammam, sauna, steam room and spa. The only negative was the italian restaurant being closed while we were staying, which limited the evening dining options.
