They got the pool, they got the beer, they got the Orange, they got the Cola... but THEY GOT NO VODKA!!! So they got no option but to close early!! Seriously though, as others have said, a very poor Hotel. The area is beautiful though.

We had the best holiday ever!! The hotel was sooo pretty, with views over the pink bourgainvillea poolside flowers to the aegean sea with the peninsular beyond... FOOD was wonderful, and buffet style at every meal...it will take me at least a month to lose the half stone i have gained! If you like fresh organically grown vegetables, and are... More

this has got to be the most horrid hotel i'v ever stayed in.on arriving in the early hours to be taken to a room which was like a prison cell and the bathroom was discusting not to mention the smell.

WE have been going to Turkey for 15yrs and have never before stayed in anywhere so disgustingly filthy, we have stayed many times in 3* and know that the standard far exceeds that of the Samdan,would hate people to think that this is the norm if it is thier first experience of Turkey because its not! Our third room was... More

Amazing location, staff work hard and food is good as previously mentioned, HOWEVER it's not the cleanest place I've been to and this is a shame as it's a simple solution to get this hotel up to scratch. Buy your own bleach and clean it yourself. Not for people with walking difficulties as there are many steps. But I am... More

Yalikavak is a very pretty village, but this hotel is disgustingly dirty. Don't book it. If you have already booked change your booking- go elsewhere, or you will be very dissapointed, this was the opinion of many people that were staying here. I would go back to this village again, but definately not this hotel and would consider 4 or... More

My husband and I returned from this hotel early this morning after a 10 day stay. Now where do I start. When we arrived in Bodrum the transfers should have taken 45 minutes, 3 hours later we arrived at the Samdan (5:00 am) in total darkness. Carrying our luggage up steps to find a little cave which is the reception.... More

Yalikavak is lovely, people very nice. Hotel however needs lots of updating. If they spent money on it could be lovely. However in the bathroom it was disgusting. On the balcony from floor to ceiling was blood, it could easily have been painted over or cleaned, our room was never cleaned. Around the pool jaggedy rusty metal sticking up from... More
