Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay

nice location. staff per guest ratio is good. the food is fair per amount of money you pay. the service is good(when something goes wrong, at least they take the initiative to correct and make the customer happy)

the building of the hotel is huge, so for instance to go to the beach by walking, you end up using 2-3 elevators, same with the spa. the hotel needs to abide with check in times. we arrived at the hotel aroiund 12 pm, were told that the check in time was 15.00, when we went to the reception at 15.15 were still told the room was ready, but i was happy with the service they provided as they upgraded our room immediately to a vacant room.

The Hotel staff was excellent,professional and assisting.The location was excellent as far as the sea and the nature are concerned but very far away from Bodrum (Taxi 65 Euros return trip).The beach was really excellent and with all the required facilities.The design of the Hotel was also very beautiful in all public places, restaurants and pools.

The room (superior) was very small for the price per night paid (more than 400 Euros).Not even a simple coffee/tea maker existing. The prices in all restaurants and beach bar were extremely expensive not reflecting the quality offered.No hotel bus service provided from Hotel to Bodrum when other hotels in the same location with less stars have this as standard and free of charge to the guests.The Hotel being completely isolated leaves no chance to the guests to have lunch or dinner outside and of course take advantage of this charging double and sometimes triple prices in all even a small bottle of water.
