There really isn't much/anything positive to say here. We booked this as a late deal so weren't expecting fantastic things, however when something is labelled as 4 star - all inclusive, I expect a degree of cleanliness, service and choice when I arrive.

The selection at the bar is limited to say the least and the less said about the food on offer would be for the better I think. Suffice to say that along with the standard of the rooms, it is simply not 4 star... barely scraping 3 in my opinion. Please note that no meals what-so-ever at the a la carte restaurant are included as part of your "all-inclusive" stay. You will have to make do with the variation of Chicken or Beef/Lamb "stews" with a side of rice or chips for hot food, or a larger selection of salad style accompaniments, that they have thrown together for that particular evenings slurry. Hardly substantial though.

The pool and grounds are clean, spacious and well maintained enough but do not expect a nice beach on your doorstep, it is about 6 feet wide at best and pretty grubby. The whole town is hardly what I would consider to be a good beach resort to be honest as it really isn't well kept throughout to be honest.

The biggest compliment I can pay is that some staff tried hard (there were as many that acted as though they'd rather be anywhere else though) and the beds were relatively comfortable. Oh, the showers are crap too.

So as far as the hotel goes, I wouldn't be back, and I would also be absolutley livid if I had booked this place way in advance rather than a late deal holiday based on pre-travelling description and expectation compared to the reality.

As an aside thought, I noticed a few comments on the forum about the resort/town/area itself being killed by the dominance of all-inclusive hotels. I will have to assume that we landed a bum deal because we ended up eating out exclusively after the second night. If anything is driving anyone away from local trade (using my own perspective as basis here) it is the scandalous pricing in shops and bars for basic provisions and drinks based on faux values applied because they are willing to accept Sterling, Euro, Dollars. Having said that, any restaurant I used I found to be reasonable value for food when eating out.

I would agree with those British contributers thus far that have suggested that if you are British, there is a good chance you will be the only ones in the hotel. May suit some and not suit others, so worth mentioning I suppose.

Hotel cesars is awfull hotel in Gumbet.Food is terrible and service is bad. Beach is covered with rocks, so you have to use swimming pool.

It was my first time to Turkey. cesars hotel was a 3 stars hotel. For some resons it was the best place for me and my friend to stay, it was in Gumbat so it was very close to Budrum.It was a bus stop near the hotel and it took about 15 min to get to Bodrum.We could walk to street bar every night and we enjoyed Gumbat night life very much. The food was good and with a very good variety. The y had belly dance and some local dances in the restaurant the first night we arrived. The rooms were large and clean. Staffs were friendly and kind. Of course they charge u for safe box in this hotel, 4 $ for each day!
It was on a very beautiful beach. Drinks were free and u could drink till 11 p.m in pool bar.The negative point abot the hotel was u were allowed to use pool till 7 p.m.After that there was no music and u couldn't even sit beside the pool.
We enjoyed our stay in Cesars hotel and we saved our money.I recommend this hotel to any one who is interested to see bodrum and to any young couple.

Where to start... I was there with my friends and this was the worst holiday we ever had! It is a four star hotel, but it barely deserves three. Only good thing was that the rooms and sheets were clean. The dishes were so dirty, on the cofee cups there were always leftovers of cofee, they smelt on milk, like they never washed them. I can't explain how dirty the glasses were. They always smelt so bad, propably when they were in hurry, they washed them only with water, many times there was a lipstick trak on them. Also they put them on a dirty plates, so the smell was even more terrible. And can you imagine in a four star hotel to drink from a plastic glasses? Well, on the terrace bar they give you water and juice (if you can call some instant flavour with water a juice) in plastic glasses that were used thousand times and propabli washed only with cold water (you can imagine the smell of this glasses). The plates, knifes and forks were also dirty. When we objected couple of times about that, they might got a little better, but after the second day,we strated to ignore the fact that they were dirty, becouse otherwise, we wouldn't eat anything and we would stay hungry, altought we payed for all inclusive.
And the stuff... we have been on many places, but we never had such a bad experience with the stuff like in this hotel. I'm not sure if totaly three people in the hotel spoke english. Only the manager of the reception, the receptionist and the manager of the restorant spoke english, even not great. Most of the other stuff didn't understand a word. When we asked for extra chairs in our room becouse we were three persons, and there was only one chair, we had to remind them three or four times to bring them. But when we had to check out, they were so precise, they called us even ten minutes earlier to remind us that we had to check out.
There was no entertaiment in the hotel at all, only one night of the week, during dinner, there was a turkish night, it wasn't bad, but nothing else. Even on the terrace in the evening there was nothing, somethimes they played some limited number of songs on a poor sound system, but that was all.
There were some other things that we weren't satisfied with, but it would take more place and more time, so I'll stop here.
In one sentence, if you don't want to ruin your holiday, don't go in Cesars hotel Bodrum.
