We were a party of 6 arriving early evening in time for dinner and drinks - my son and daughter, 21 & 24, my two step daughters, 21 & 22 and 'Mum'. We all really enjoyed our time at the Jasmin Beach Hotel whether it be food, entertainment, facilities, night-life, Spa or staff. The Jasmin turkish baths and spa is a must. The Spa, run by the Emin and ablely supported by Volkan, Hamid, Emre, Svedla and 'alright mate', is fantastic. No hard sell, no hassle. The entertainment team led by Suat were excellent... knowledgeable and great fun. The housekeeping and restaurant staff were attentive and dilligent. Really easy to get on with and communicate with. Hajlil, Ozlem and the rest of the crew were firm favourites of our party. At no time did any of the party feel uncomfortable in Turkey even late at night after a visit to Bar Street. Bar Street was so much fun.... the music was great and the prices reasonable - you can even haggle with bar manager - brilliant. The places to visit are Yates for a bit of Karaoke, then Vogue where Hassan will make sure you're well looked after and then The Temple Bar... There are so many good bars along the 'strip'. we all had great night's out.
I would return to Bodrum and recommend it as a great place to catch the sun, eat well, be entertained and rest. The whole time we were there we were saying we should have booked longer and regretted leaving after only just 7 nights. Turkey is a beautiful place with cultured and respectful people.
