Kazıklı Vacations from $871

This is a beautiful property perched on the ridge overlooking the sea. The staff were friendly. Unfortunately, during our stay, the main pool was closed and being resurfaced. The property therefore was not as advertised. I would think this warrants some kind of a discount. Moreover, the beach is beyond walking distance, and the shuttle only travels once per hour. Lastly, the restaurant had very mediocre food and was far inferior to any other meal we had during our stay in Bodrum. I hate leaving bad reviews because I know the hotel and their staff are trying. However, I chose this hotel because of its good reviews and think other others deserve to know this property’s shortcomings.

My very first time at the hotel. It's truly amazing. The sea and the mountains are breathtaking. The staff is very accommodating, from the reception to everyone else. My room had a balcony where I could just relax and enjoy the view also. This truly is a hotel that I would come back to, when I'm in Bodrum. I'd like to thank everyone at Azka Hotel for their hospitality. A very happy and satisfied Canadian guest!🇨🇦

Hotel is very well maintained. Staff are friendly and all speak good English. Breakfast buffet is quite good with a mix of Turkish and international dishes. Good sea access with food and drinks service and lots of sun beds under the shade. It is not in Bodrum town centre. However, there is a nice small marina within walking distance with lots of nice restaurant. Recommended.

The Salmakis Resort & Spa was an enticing place but little things meant that it didn't deserve its 5 star rating. The WiFi did not work in the hotel room, only in the restaurant and reception areas, which was very frustrating and inconvenient. When we arrived there was one area through which everyone had to walk to access other areas of the hotel, which had a large pallet loaded with what seemed to be large boxes of machinery. Over our stay this pallet was gradually unloaded but the boxes were just moved to corridors outside the hotel rooms on various levels. There was evidence of damage to some of the mosaics set into walkways and repairs were needed to the steps from our room down to the pool area. In my hotel room, there was no plug for the bathroom basin, meaning to shave it was necessary to keep running the water - a waste of resources. There was no toilet roll holder beside the toilet, just a couple of toilet rolls sitting on a shelf beneath the hand basin. The beach towels were obviously quite old as many of them were frayed at the edges. In all, whilst we enjoyed our stay there it definitely was not worth a 5 star rating.
