Sami Beach Hotel- All Inclusive

We stayed at Sami beach hotel for our anniversary from 19th August - 23rd August. Rooms: Since all rooms were booked we got accommodation in Annexe Room which is an entirely separate building from the main hotel. Room was alright but the basic AC and refrigerator didn’t work. The balcony was very shabby. Also, there was no telephone connection to call the main reception. We had to personally visit to make our complaints. No wifi in this building and the staff did nothing about it. Just coddled us that it will be fixed soon (never happened during our stay) Beach: the beach is good and since its private with beach beds and all. It was the highlight of the entire trip. Food/bar: the beach bar is fully functional and good. They have full 3 meals buffets with quite a lot of variety. Loved their food. Entertainment: they had good and fun entertainment nights and it was overall a very fun event for families especially.

Horrible after paying for a holiday and getting here and they do not have a rooms and when they do it is not adequate had to walk 500 stairs and away from the hotel and at the door doesn’t shut properly no bin limescale all over the shower and tiles

Horrendous staff shearing and laughing, pushed from pillow to post. Finally after seeing my evidence they agreed a 3rd room change but a 5 hour wait. Desperate to shower and shattered from anxiety of safety due to balcony having to be open and the night music in the room opposite totally shattered and fatigued. I forgot to mention on the first night the key given lead to a man sleeping where the man who took us up up up to our room said f98! And shut the door quickly. leaving us waiting there while he went for more keys to try. I am left waiting in the lobby £180 extra pound paid. But still no room!! I wasn't even able to see what I had paid to move to. So it will be a suprise. With any luck my last 4 days will be better🤞

I highly recommend this hotel. Friendly atmosphere, very good food and service at the highest level. Well-maintained rooms overlooking the pool and the bay. The hotel grounds are kept clean with lots of vegetation.

We have been travelling to Turkey for over 20 years as a family and visited many resorts and 5 star hotels but nothing quite beats the Sami hotel. The hotel has such a boutique, family friendly-feel to it and sits in a beautiful scenic bay in Gumbet. Inside the hotel itself it is decorated beautifully with artwork and artefacts of Turkish history. Whilst there is not a large variety of food, as a fussy eater, I have no problem eating at meal times. Although basic the rooms are complete and always clean and hygienic, so if you don’t plan on spending too much time in the room,this will suit you perfectly. The range of alcohol at the bar is minimal but adequate as you can’t go wrong with beers or spirits and the service is wonderful. The entertainment in the evenings is limited towards the end of September but a great fun family atmosphere and there is more on in the peak months of the year. We have a further 2 trips planned to the Sami this year and can not wait ! The staff can not do enough to make your experience enjoyable and you can not beat the location !

Check in/out- We hired a private transfer and it was approx 40 mins from Bodrum Airport to the hotel. Check in at 1400 and check out 1200. Rooms- This hotel is set over 3 levels. Reception is at street level along with some rooms but restaurant, pool and beach are 2 levels lower. There is a lift within the hotel. There is 1 disabled room which has a wet room and a seat within the shower. There are several ramps around the hotel and a disabled toilet. One ramp in particular is very steep and is difficult to push someone up and down. The access to the pool is via some big steps or a rather unstable plank of wood making the pool inaccessable for wheel chair users. Location- The hotel is directly on the beach front and there is a prom you can walk along to from one end of the beach to the other. Out side the hotel there are many shop, restauarnts, clubs and a large Migros shopping centre. You can catch a Dolmus (Bus) right outside the hotel into Bodrum bus station and costs arouns 40p per person each way. There is no offical time table just wait and wave one down. There is a taxi rank out side also. Use a yellow taxi as they are metered so no need to haggle a price. Tuesday has a large market in Bodrum selling genuine fakes. Beach- The beach is beautiful. Its very shallow and hardly any waves at all. Perfect for children. There are water activities at an extra charge. Plenty of sun beds on the beach and we never had any issues getting one. Food/Drink- The first few days the food was plentiful and tasty but this seemed to decline as our holiday continued. Im not sure if this is due to the hotel closing soon. None of the food has any labels indicating what it was making it at times hard to recognise. The food is all on hot plates however the food was still cold the majority of time even directly after it opened. We spoke to the owners who attempted to rectify the issues. There is 1 bar in the hotel that serves the standard drinks you would expect. Beer, wine, gin, vodka and raki along with a few basic cocktails and the normal soft drinks. Tea/coffee and juice are self service all day. Entertainment- During our stay there was no entertainment during the day. Music would have been nice on the beach. There were a few dance shows on some evenings. Pool, table tannis and darts are available free of charge. This was a 3 star hotel and with what we paid it was as expected. The beach is the main selling point and beautiful.
