Kempinski Hotel, Bodrum, Turkey - a Review

I thought the hotel/resort was great, but I am writing this review after I have left and spent several weeks on a 42' sailboat.

We were in room 3608, I believe. We had a lovely large balcony, though it did overlook some roofs before one could see the sea, so perhaps ask for something on a lower floor... we were on the 6th floor. I was able to look beyond the roofs of lower floors....

We dined both nights in their Asian-themed restaurant and were pleased both nights. Our service was excellent and we had a lovely local wine.

I'm afraid I didn't take photographs of the room and I don't recall if we had the toiletries, hairdryer, coffee & tea, etc. I believe they gave us a large bottle of water, though. And I remember it being clean.

Too many elevators - no straight shot from the sea to the rooms... it was labyrinthine; we needed to be escorted to find the restaurant - both nights. The restaurant by the beach was wonderful and the waiters there very good, though one needs to take a shuttle or walk to the beach.

I wish I had a picture of their spa, because that was wonderful. They have a gym, personal trainer, indoor pool and wonderful Hammam facilities.

I would recommend the Kempinski Barbaros Bay in Bodrum.
