LE MERIDIEN BODRUM BEACH RESORT

From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen a special place. The hotel is beautiful, set in a stunning location that truly feels like paradise. What made our stay unforgettable, however, was the outstanding staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and always willing to help with a smile. A special thank you to Charlie, Nika, Kaan, the housekeeping team, and the rest of the staff for making our stay so memorable. Their kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. Thank you all for everything. We had an amazing experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway. 👏

We had a truly enjoyable experience at this beautiful hotel. The restaurant was excellent, and offered beautiful sea views on a lovely outdoor terrace. Breakfast was also excellent. The rooms have amazing beds, and are modern. We stayed one night in a king with balcony and one in a junior suite--both excellent rooms. We absolutely loved the beach area--with plenty of seating, bar, and full restaurant. There were so many facilities we did not get to experience, like the amazing gym and spa area. The staff were extremely helpful in every way. There is a fair amount of walking/up and down, but the hotel has buggies for those who need it. Highly recommend.

To start with the positive: The Le Meridien Bodrum resort itself was stunning, with scenic views all around, stylish architecture, and generally hygienic, with mostly friendly resort staff. A particular thanks to the following: - Otel (Hotel Director) – an asset to the Le Meridien with his phenomenal people skills, supportive and understanding nature - Merve (Guest Relations) – a wonderful human being, with exquisite customer service skills and genuine kindness - Yazi (Buggy Driver) – a pleasure with his jolly demeanour, going above and beyond - Dr Kirti (Ayurvedic Doctor) – abundantly talented and respectful – Dr Kirti’s knowledge was one of the few best things about Vitallica - Chef Dougan – a true testament to culinary expertise – even though not trained in Ayurveda, did his best to accommodate with delicious and healthy food - Ali (Waiter) – most helpful and professional - Sabhida (Ayurvedic Treatment Therapist) – the most brilliant masseuse I have met! However, given that the main attraction of this resort is the peaceful retreat aspect, Le Meridien severally failed – the Vitallica Wellness Spa certainly did not measure up to a 5 star standard; I ended up more stressed than rejuvenated at the retreat, compared to before I came. We booked the Le Meridien Bodrum specifically for the Ayurvedic Panchkarma Package provided at their Vitallica Wellness Spa - However, this package did not provide what was advertised - it was a complete scam! 1) On our first day the Ayurvedic Dr Kirti was not present to provide our consultation or proper treatment/service, due to not being informed by the Vitallica Coordinators in regards to our arrival. She thankfully came in briefly on her day off to organise my dinner – however our first day was shambles and Vitallica should have been prepared for the service they sold! 2) Despite being reassured on the phone about Ayurvedic Indian Food, NOBODY was aware of Ayurvedic nutrition - which, due to my health condition, was a significant reason why we booked this premises. Given there was no suitable breakfast/lunch for us on our first day and I had nothing to take my medication with, Merve (guest relations) and Otel (hotel director) directed us to eat at the beach restaurant (not ideal but had to make do) – however, Elif (Vitallica management), let alone taking accountability, very disrespectfully insulted us for this and even cancelled one of our orders. This manner was completely demeaning and disrespectful – nobody, especially not an adult guest, paying for a 5 star service which the provider had failed to provide, should be treated this way. Whilst Otel did attempt to redeem this service by upgrading our room, Vitallica management only continued to neglect accountability and blame us the next morning, creating a rather uncomfortable atmosphere and opposing the slight solace received from Otel and Merves attempts to make things better. 3) Almost half the included treatments from the ‘Panchkarma Package’ we were sold, were not available - even though I had queried this in advance and was told that all listed services were available (with written evidence to this effect from the sales team). This was a con, as we selected this resort based on the package/treatments we were informed were included, such as Panchkarma itself! 4) We were not provided the entirety of our ‘daily 90 minutes of Dr prescribed treatments’, as stated in the package we booked. Most treatments were not even arranged by Dr consultation, but rather by the Vitallica management not educated in the ways of ayurveda – leading to contraindicated (non-ayurvedic) treatments (Sodium lung therapy twice and Sauna) being fobbed off to my grandmother - resulting in the worsening of her lung issues. Throughout our stay, none of my group received the full quality or quantity of treatment that we paid for - this is very deceitful. This was the worst wellness retreat service we have had the misfortune to receive! I am very disappointed and expected more integrity from a Le Meridien service.

i had a very nice time here their service is very good, unal, mizgen dogkan are very nice they helped us with everything around the hotel

I truly enjoyed this unique experience, which was full of wonderful surprises. On this occasion, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Nasira for all the support she provided before our arrival. She was incredibly understanding, helpful, and cooperative—far beyond anything we had expected. We will always remember her with great appreciation.

The location is a beautiful island with panoramic view of the sea and lovely sunsets. The beach is immaculate and rooms offer the best view of the sunsets. The golden glow of Bordrum sunsets paint a picture straight out of fairy tales and stile our hearts… It’s the creator’s artistic display of nature in it’s best
