HOTEL SAMARA

We stayed at Samara Hotel Bodrum in August 2025 as a family (2 adults and 1 child), and we had a wonderful holiday. This resort is a fantastic choice for families looking for relaxation, entertainment, and quality service. One of the biggest advantages of the hotel is its great location, especially being close to Candyland Water Park, which is definitely worth visiting if you’re staying in the area. The hotel offers excellent swimming pools for all ages. There is a dedicated children’s pool with small slides and plenty of sun loungers nearby, allowing parents to comfortably relax while keeping an eye on their little ones. For adults, we loved spending time at the main pool, where it was easy to cool off before stopping by the pool bar for a refreshing cocktail. There is also an adults-only pool, which is a fantastic idea for guests looking for a quieter atmosphere away from the excitement of the family areas. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, making them perfect for a family stay. The food was delicious throughout our holiday. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes every day, with plenty of choices for both adults and children. Another great convenience was the shuttle service provided by the hotel, making it easy to visit Bodrum city center whenever we wanted. The evening entertainment was enjoyable every night, with live music, performances, and shows that kept both adults and children entertained. The beach is large, clean, and very well organized. Families will appreciate the Kids Club area located near the beach, while adults can enjoy a wide range of water activities including jet skiing, water sports, and boat excursions. One of the highlights of our holiday was the boat trip organized through the hotel. Spending the day at sea with our child was an unforgettable experience. The crystal-clear water was beautiful, lunch and drinks were included on board, and the entire excursion was perfectly organized. It became one of our favorite memories of the trip. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Samara Hotel Bodrum. The friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities, delicious food, beautiful beach, and family-oriented services made this holiday truly memorable. We highly recommend this hotel to families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in Bodrum. We would be delighted to return in the future. Thank you to the entire Samara Hotel team for such a wonderful experience!

Unfortunately we will not be returning Beautiful Gardens Bar Staff seemed To work hard But considering we paid a lot of money for our Summer holiday we were disappointed Cleanliness zero points Food Mediocre Entertainment Team Zero points Very unprofessional Please Give them Training To Interact With Guests and Smile

Gardens stunning well kept.bar staff very nice work hard and try there best to keep everyone happy Animation team very cliquey and unwelcoming Beach is beautiful pool Area is kept lovely. Food was average however we always found something to eat.

The hotel itself is very beautiful, well-maintained, and cozy. This was our second time staying here, and we were once again impressed by the flawless service everywhere — from the reception, restaurant, and medical room to the animation team. The staff is incredibly attentive. But most importantly, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Zhanargul from the reception! It feels like she is always at her post, both morning and evening, welcoming guests with her high professionalism, a genuine smile, and readiness to help with any question. It is truly thanks to Zhanargul that our first and second holidays at this hotel were absolutely wonderful, making us feel right at home. Huge thanks to the entire team for a wonderful vacation, we will definitely come back again!

As well travelled couple this resort was what can I say well below par. From the moment we arrived we felt a certain the vibe by the staff was not so great. The check in staff were so cold and unwelcoming. When I asked if we could have a rundown about the resort the lady who had long greyish hair non Turkishsaid everything is in front of you we don’t need to explain. The amenities provided in the bathroom was inadyfor a so called 5 star resort where you pay premium. Nil body lotion. I approached again front desk staff and asked if we could have some. The response we don’t supply, if you have a complaint go to the complaints dept. Hmmm. The staff are miserable and unwelcoming nil smiles all round EXCEPT for Aleyna at the coffee cafe and Ersin at the main restaurant. This has got to be the most inhospitable hotel resort we have ever stayed at. Menu repeatedly the same with maybe a few changes but generally speaking the same. I overheard a lot of guest complaints about the same thing. Please train staff to smile.
