TUI Magic Life Rixos Beldibi (Adults Only 16+)

Absolutely the best all inclusive hotel we have ever been to. That includes the Caribbean. The food was 1st class, and all the staff were amazing. We will be back Thank you

I’m currently staying at this hotel and it’s only my second day, but I’m already very disappointed. First of all, our room is in the middle of nowhere. We have to walk up and down very steep hills or climb lots of stairs every time we want to go for breakfast, the pool or anywhere else. The hotel has buggies, but they keep ignoring guests and tell everyone they’re only for check-in and check-out. If you have any walking problems, forget about staying here. It’s honestly awful. If you forget something in your room, you’ll probably just leave it there because you won’t want to walk all the way back. When we arrived, so many things in our room were broken. The air conditioning didn’t work properly, the TV remote didn’t work and even the room phone was broken, so we couldn’t even call reception to report the problems. In the end I had to message the hotel on WhatsApp to get someone to come and fix everything. They did fix it, but it’s obvious nobody checked the room before we checked in. Housekeeping has also been very poor. The cleaner only made the bed and didn’t even take away the dirty cups left next to the bed. They didn’t refill the towels, tissues or the minibar either. Apparently you only get these things if you ask for them. Otherwise they just assume you don’t need drinking water, which is ridiculous in this weather. They only provide large bottles of water instead of normal small bottles, which are much more practical. The bottles are left warm instead of cold. The same goes for the soft drinks – they leave large family-size bottles of Coke and Fanta instead of individual cans or small bottles, which I’ve never seen in any all-inclusive hotel before. The food is very limited and nowhere near the standard you expect from a Turkish all-inclusive hotel. I’ve stayed in Antalya many times and the food there is amazing, with around ten different types of bread and a huge variety of food at every meal. Here there’s very little choice and it doesn’t feel like a proper Turkish all-inclusive at all. The staff are also very unhelpful. Whatever the problem is, they make it feel like it’s your problem, not theirs. Nobody seems to take responsibility or genuinely try to help. The biggest joke is the “Grab & Go” section. It’s advertised as being available from 9:30pm until 7am. We went there at midnight, only about two and a half hours after it opened, and every single sandwich had already gone. They just said, “Sorry, we’ve run out.” I asked them what hungry guests are supposed to do until 7am when there were still another seven hours left. The manager just apologised and said they’d finished. Eventually reception contacted them and they made fresh sandwiches and refilled the fridge. While this was happening, lots of other guests were also waiting for food. I honestly wonder what they would have said to guests arriving late from flights who were hungry. Advertising food until 7am when it regularly runs out hours earlier is very misleading. The positives are the amazing views, the lovely beach and the beach lunch, which is actually very good. The hotel itself is also beautifully designed. However, the rooms are very dated and the bathrooms look cheap and tacky. I still have another five nights here, so I’ll update my review because unfortunately quite a lot has already gone wrong. At the moment, I definitely wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

The hotel was amazing with beautiful beaches , active night shows and all facilities. Service, stuff super friendly . Highly recommend

A Mixed Bag: Glamorous Venue but Let Down by Service and Food Quirks Overall Rating: 3/5 TUI Magic Life Bodrum offers a visually stunning setting and great facilities, but several persistent issues—ranging from language barriers to midnight alarms—kept it from being a truly relaxing getaway. Here is a breakdown of our experience: The Highlights • Aesthetics & Facilities: The hotel looks fantastic. Despite not claiming to be a 5-star luxury resort, it definitely has a glamorous feel to it. The facilities, including the rooms, bars, and pool areas, are all well-maintained and highly enjoyable. • Convenient Location: It is situated in a great spot, just a quick 15-minute bus ride right into the heart of Bodrum. • Standout Staff: We cannot praise OZCAN in the buffet restaurant and Ozmil at the Wunderbar enough. They were absolutely incredible to us and provided top-tier service. • Premium Drinks & Extras: If you are debating the premium drinks, they are very good and well worth the extra price. I also highly recommend visiting the on-site barber shop. I got a simple shave before my flight home, and it was a remarkably relaxing experience well worth the small charge. • Poolside Comfort: There are plenty of sunloungers available, though they are exclusively located near the pool. The Letdowns • Housekeeping Quirks: Despite leaving generous tips for the cleaning staff, we never received any towel animals, despite this being advertised on their social media and also from experience being standard practice in 5* hotels, we even saw them doing this to other rooms on our floor. Even more frustratingly, the cleaners actually ate the personal snacks we had left in our room which left a very dishonest and uncomfortable vibe for the remainder of our stay. • Language Barrier: Nearly all of the bar staff speak only German, with virtually no English spoken, which made communication difficult and appeared quite hostile at times, with one waiter simply stood over us whilst we were eating without saying anything. After a moment it appeared that she wanted our drinks order but failed to speak or say anything before I took the initiative to myself. • Food Quality & Variety: The buffet food was frequently cold. If you are looking for a traditional English breakfast, you will be disappointed, as the morning spread caters heavily to traditional German tastes. • Inexperienced Bar Staff: The poolside bar was quite disappointing. The staff running it appeared to lack experience compared to the other bars, often resulting in completely random ingredients being added to our cocktails. • A La Carte Disappointments: We tried both the Indian and Turkish restaurants and would not recommend either. The staff were very standoffish unless you were purchasing premium bottles of wine. The Indian food lacked any authenticity, and ultimately, both restaurants served what appeared to be cold, replated food from the main buffet. You are better off sticking to the main dining room. • Unpleasant Smells & Alarms: The last three days of our stay were plagued by an incredibly strong smell of sewage/poo around the resort. To make matters worse, the hotel's fire alarm—which sounds exactly like a police panic alarm—malfunctioned and went off all throughout the night, leaving us exhausted the next morning. This happened for around 5 nights of our week stay. Summary: If you are looking for a beautiful property near Bodrum and don't mind catering mostly to a German-speaking demographic with a few operational hiccups, you might enjoy it here. However, the dining quality, housekeeping issues, and disruptions make it hard to fully recommend.
