We have just returned from a week at Vira's Otel and it was great. We stayed in the newer part and the rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. Mustafa, Victoria and the staff were helpful and very friendly. The location is perfect and going later in the year it was quiet and relaxing - a good week for real R&R. Yes, there are stray dogs and cats but this is Turkey and surprisingly we didn't notice any animal mess! We ate most nights in the restaurant and the food was excellent. We'd definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return next year.

We have just returned from a fortnight at the Hotel Viras. Unfortunately, as the owners have commented on a previous review, both my husband & were both very ill with a bug/food poisoning for at least 5 days of our holiday. There was no information given in English & we struggled to find an open chemist for some help. We eventually found a pharmacist who helped us & we were confined to our room until we improved. There are no telephones & no room service is offered.
The staff were very friendly & the meals were very good. I feel that the reception needs to be improved to be friendlier & more informative (its basically an apartment room with a settee).
The shingly beach is very close to the hotel & is very pleasant. There is virtually no tide so the sea is very calm. The usual beach sports are offered further down the resort.
The hotel beach furniture could do with a good clean & the amount of "stray" dogs roaming around should be reduced. We often saw them weeing & defacating right next to where children were playing on the beach. These flea ridden dogs also sat next to you whilst you were eating your evening meal at night on the beach. This wasn't very nice.
The rooms are very pleasant & basic with lots of sockets (although the bathrooms are tiny). The cleaning staff came daily & were very helpful.
We couldn't sit outside our ground floor apartment due to the smell of a cesspit. I believe this was not on hotel property so they cannot be blamed. However we couldn't leave the doors open as it was a very strong, awful smell.
I recomend that you use the Dolmus & go to Bodrum. The castle is an absolute treat & the museum in it is well worth the money. The shops, market & restaurant are also very good. A walk around the harbour is a must for all.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday but would not return to this resort or hotel.

I stayed at this beautiful hotel during the first 2 weeks of August. I cannot fault this hotel in the slightest the rooms were spotless and cleaned everyday. We stayed in one of the new rooms with all modern facilities which had a lovely balcony overlooking the garden which was nice and peaceful especially when you feel like you've had just a little too much sun for the day.

We stayed half board so breakfast and evening meal was included. Both were buffet style the breakfast was the usual Turkish breakfast with a selection of olives, cheese, eggs etc and lovely home made breads filled with cheese. The evening buffet had a wide selection of mezes (tapas), salads and hot selection with soup to start and dessert. During the day they have a reputable a'la carte restaurant so if you are still hungry at lunch time there is a wide selection to choose from including salads, paninis, grills, fish or the turkish favourite pide ( a kind of pizza) delicious!! The waiters are up and down the beach all day and will get you anything you need. It was very busy being the height of the season but everyone worked so hard making sure we had a fantastic stay.

You couldnt ask for more we had a lovely 2 weeks holiday and definately will go there again. The food, hotel and staff made this a very memorable holiday.

İ was there last year and it was everything perfect!
This year unfottunately it was a very bad situation...rooms not cleaned, not space to eat and the water of the shower was terrible. Result: a lot of people was sick. İ really enjoeyed this hotel the las year....but this year they added something like 80 room and unfortunately everything was not good. İ' m sorry but this is the reality.
