Arin Resort Bodrum

Needs a complete overhaul. Room was spacious. Bed very comfortable, plenty of wardrobe space. Furnishings need to be updated. Good shower but some form of anti-slip needed badly. We had a large balcony with very old furniture that we wouldn’t use which was a pity. Garden badly needs attention. The entertainment area is outside so blaring music up to midnight & beyond kept us awake. Restaurant was kept very well & staff were terrific. Food was usual all inclusive type which didn’t suit my husband so we used local restaurants towards the end of our holiday for dinner. The sand on beach is shingle/Stony which we don’t like. The jetty is lovely & sunbeds ard good. However we won’t return. Great for young families if they don’t mind very loud music.

A misleading star rating for this dilapidated hotel. Great location for this 2 star hotel. Far from 5 star. Animation team very hard working but felt a bit like a sweatshop

Good location good food nice staff room a little grubby

The hotel itself was very good - buffet a bit samey but you get that with all inclusive - however they did have three a la carte restaurants which you could choose to eat from and were very good. Red wine very good - white wine not so good but plenty of spirits even local 'Baileys' which was very nice. Our room was in the 'select' part of the hotel on the 8th floor - fantastic view with glorious sunsets every evening and nice and quiet. Our second time at this hotel and looking a bit tired now - could do with reburbishment in some areas but on the whole a very good holiday and weather was perfect.

Excellent for holiday break, we greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommended.

This was my 7th and FINAL visit to this Hotel. The location and view can't be faulted. The rooms with a view are adequate, however the rooms without are not pleasant to stay in ie at rear of hotel. The food was bland and repetitive and most days cold as left uncovered which is also very unhieginic. It wasn't until the final day that covers were used on the food and this was due to the amount of complaints. The Fish restaurant and the Sunset Bar which make this hotel were both closed allegedly to to the windy conditions. Granted it was windy for 4 days out of 11 however the sunset bar has been left in a mess with overflowing ashtrays empty glasses left all over dirty tables and looked not to have been open for weeks. There are no water sports as advertised however there has been in the hotel on past visits. 95 % of the staff are inattentive, The select bar constantly ran out of drinks, mixers and ice and when they had gone the staff would not get anymore from the other bar close by. They would just say tomorrow. The select restaurant is no longer open for served breakfast or lunch. The Hotel response was the doors are open and you can take your own food in, however that is not 5 star service and never happened in the past. The select bar closed 30 to 45 minutes early most days because the barman was needed elsewhere to help the chef. This spoilt the last hour of the day relaxing in the sun on the jetty watching the sunset with a drink. POOR SHOW overall!

I loved the hotel, the a la carte restaurants were great. We really enjoyed our time there. Our room was good with an awesome view. That being said the our bathroom did not smell good. I think there was something wrong with the pipes that we had to call every morning and they would fix it!! The other downside to it was that not everybody speaks English so that made communication a little hard, but everybody was super friendly and helpful. Overall, I recommend the hotel.

The resort in general was nice, and there is heaps to do. I liked the animation program, which includes some social activities , that was running every day. The food and buffet restaurants were good too, I can't complain. The only thing that we weren't quite satisfied with was the service that was not what you expect from a 5 star hotel. However, I noticed that the quality of service in most of the places I went in turkey, wasn't really satisfying.

The beach and the general upkeep of the hotel are the only good points about this resort. We found the staff unapproachable and rude as they all spoke to you in Turkish first. If they didn't understand what you were asking they would say 'I don't know' and hang up the phone. We were spoken down to at the reception when we asked to have our room changed. This resort is definitely not worth the price.

Just came back for a vacation in Bodrum, at the Aegean Dream Hotel. it was Really an amazing experience. Location: Fantastic, directly on the aegean sea, surrounded by trees and greenary areas Hotel Reception: Very nice, welcoming, and supportive reception. All our requirements were prepared as requested. Full details were given about the hotel, with a detailed brouchure. Restaurants: Fantastic. we took the all inclusive option, and it really worth every penny. wide selections, and varity of food, with a different theme every other night. Food was really amazing and well presented. The main restuarnat is located directly on the sea, with charming views of the aegean sea. Staff: Can't say enough to thank them all for a great and high level of service. they are ready to do anything to make you feel comfortable. Activities: Daily activities all over the day. The animation team are doing great job to entertain people and to make them enjoy the day. the night animations program at the amfitheatre is great. Thanks to Deema and Selim, and the rest of the team for their efforts. Rooms: This could be the only drawback of the hotel, where rooms are small. toilet is small too. Bed is comfortable. In anyway, who is coming to Bodrum to sleep?? SPA and Turkish Hammam: Thansk to Ramazan (SPA Manager) for offering us a fantastic program, Turkish Hammam (Bath), with peeling and shampooing, facial mask, and full body oil massage. Great service with excellent quality.
