“Lovely hotel/views and staff”

Me and my partner had a lovely 1 week stay here. We stayed from 10/07/23 to the 17/07/23. Firstly the views from this hotel are beautiful and the hotel itself is very visually pleasing aswell.

Me and my partner had a lovely 1 week stay here. We stayed from 10/07/23 to the 17/07/23. Firstly the views from this hotel are beautiful and the hotel itself is very visually pleasing aswell. It is also very clean. The rooms aren't the most modern but are very clean and fitting with the hotels look. We were not disappointed at all and had an amazing view from our balcony aswell as we were at the top of the hotel which was some effort to get to as it was like 40°C and there were alot of steps to climb but it was definitely worth it for the view. There are other ground floor level rooms if people struggle with steps however they can't avoid the steps completely as the restaurant and pool and bar are on a higher level. We went all inclusive and there were both vegetarian and meat options as well as quite a few salad options and desserts and the food was very nice and full of flavour. I'm not sure what the dishes were as I am from England and they were mainly Turkish dishes (I think) but on most days there was chicken and rice available and the stuffed flat bread was also really nice. They had local alcoholic beverages including vodka, raki and beer and they had a few different fruit juices and Fanta, Pepsi and sprite which were available from the bar all day. The hotel is around a 10 min walk from shops and bars/restaurants and about 15-20mins walk away from the beach. A taxi to Bodrum central costs 100tl which is around £3 and there is a taxi base at the end of the road there is also a bus that runs every 5mins which would be a cheaper option which also stops at the end of the road on the right hand side of the hotel. The hotel is very popular with Turkish and Russian guests and we were the only English people staying here but everyone was very friendly and welcoming and made an effort to talk to us. The staff were so friendly and approachable and went out of their way to help us and make our stay enjoyable. There was a very good vibe at the hotel and music was playing throughout the day around the pool. The pool was perfect and had a shallow and deeper area as well as 2 children's pools and a really good slide. There was free WiFi access in the lobby which had comfortable sofas and seating areas. Gumbet was also very nice and there was plenty to do there from great excursions and jet skiing to shopping and bars and restaurants. You don't get harassed to go into anywhere either. We really don't feel like we can praise this place enough. We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend and return again in the future. We want to thank all the staff at the hotel for making our stay in Gumbet a really enjoyable experience. We did have doubts before we went due to the lack of reviews which is why I have decided that it is important for us to write one. If you are from England and in 2 minds about booking here for this reason, I can assure you that from my experience, you will have a wonderful stay here and be surprised at how nice this hotel is for a 3 star hotel it should really be a 4 star. We couldn't have wanted more from a holiday for the price we paid. Thank you again to all the staff at th Afytos Bodrum Hotel. Lots of Love From Gemma and Lincoln.
