Duja Bodrum

Guests appreciate the affordable spa and enjoyable pool activities. They consistently praise the exceptional cleanliness and the incredibly friendly and helpful staff providing excellent customer service.

This is a nice hotel, in a beautiful setting but it’s enormous and getting around requires a fair bit of walking, as well as lots of steps, lifts and or escalators. There’s lots to like, can’t lie the Starbucks was a definite win for me! Thanks to Ayaz for serving with a smile. Large pool, great use of the sea area with pontoons and concrete areas which offer plenty of space for laybeds and lots of steps direct into the sea. Small beach which is shingle, which has plenty of free cabanas across the top. Plus you can enjoy some paid for services, like a serviced cabanas which are well worth the money for the good service, comfortable laybeds and a little bit of luxury. Duja Bodrum is definitely a little tired in places which is a worry, as still relatively early in the season but with so many guests keeping on top of things has to be hard. Breakfast is reasonable, the later you come the less the choice on offer but plenty of options so you won’t be hungry but there is no fresh squeezed juice on offer. The toaster was an issue the entire time we stayed, toast was getting continually getting stuck and staff were using mental knifes to free it. On our last day it caught light! Staff work very hard and really try to go the extra mile, the night barman in Ray’s bar in particular was fantastic, the night barman Bekir is amazing and I hope I spelt your name right, however the dominance of other guests is prevalent, with staff opting to serve them first across the hotel, which is a shame because for those of us patiently waiting to be served it is annoying! Drinks are good, cocktails were great and consistent in all bars, which is rare when compared to some hotels I’ve stayed in. Room was pleasant, we had an issue on arrival with the door mechanism which took too long to rectify, but when it was sorted they did go the extra mile. It’s worth noting that a double does not mean a double and originally we had been given twin beds, but again it was sorted for our second night. Beds were huge and comfortable. Linens a bit tired so not as crisp as others but clean. Sofa in the room was ridiculous and needed removing as I couldn’t get around the bed to my side. Would rather have had small table and chair. Bathroom should be a win, but whoever designed it left nowhere to hang your towels - which I find bizarre as I try to reuse towels when on holiday. Silly things let’s the hotel down, like the mirror light not working and toiletries missing so the bottles were empty, refills provided when asked, albeit too late for our first shower, but we had brought our own. Mini bar has nice selection of drinks and was refilled daily. Aircon is very good. Balcony was large and we had a partial sea view. A la carte options were lovely and all have a fabulous backdrop. It was spectacularly windy while we were here but I think this was an anomaly as opposed to the norm, but you’ll definitely need peg towels down by sea! We had a hammam which was excellent value for money a

Another fabulous family holiday, looking forward to returning later in the year! Some improvements had been made too which didn't go unnoticed x
