Update on our rating from 2010... for the fourth time a wonderful, relaxed and completely successful vacation together with two friends. on the extra charges we no longer upset this time, you know and accept it now, because everything else can be almost perfect, if you do the right thing. Still our recommendation: ex Milas Airport car to reserve at least at night from and to Bodrum to (20 minutes) food and the atmosphere at the marina is great and a bit like Ibiza or St Tropez. best fish restaurant: Memedof, at the end of the ring road in front of the harbor (and try the meze). Around the hotel there are no recommendable restaurants. The room was very nice, smaller than last time and with a not so nice view, but still okay. The beach was pebbly, but best well-kept and the setting with lawns, comfortable lounge chairs there and at the waterline is reminiscent of a Anyway top-the beach club with everything that belonged to it. The sea is blue in all shades and crystal clear, was wonderful for swimming and watch life of the kids. In September hot, but very dry climate-always a light breeze, and therefore also hardly any mosquitos. Conclusion: vacation here on the Barbaros Bay in Turkey is an appalling fact for us to 'top'. The photos on the hotel's website to see: that's it.
