We stayed for 7 nights at this hotel in August 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed! The hotel itself was always clean and tidy and generally well presented. The standard room we had was lovely and was cleaned regularly by the staff. The food was plentiful and varied; you could help yourself to everything from fresh salad and cold meat to traditional Turkish food and everything in between. The food was mostly different each day and there was always plenty of it. In addition to this, there is another restaurant upstairs (you are required to book your place here but it is included on the all inclusive offer) which serves Italian food and fish. Any visitor should definitely give this a try! The food was exquisite, the staff were great and I would go back time and again.
The pool facilities were good, always plenty of sun loungers and space despite there only being the one pool which is not massive. There was entertainment for an hour or so in the daytime and the staff also offered day trips and Turkish massages and demonstrated scuba diving techniques to the guests. There is also a beach just outside the hotel which is available to the guests; this was very pretty but we did not spend time there as we were more than happy to sit by the pool.
Evening entertainment was not the best, there was something on every night but it wasn't great. Good for a laugh. There was a trip into the town offered to us one night and the hotel has a club downstairs which opens after the evening entertainment finishes.
There is a dolmus bus running into the town from just outside the hotel. This is very cheap and a great way to see Bodrum and book any trips or excursions you may wish to go on. There is a market, various stalls and shops and a harbour which are worth a visit.
Overall I would strongly recommend the hotel, we had a great time and would return.
