Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

The hotel was pretty empty and it still seemed severely understaffed. One of the other guests said she stayed there last year and it was much better. Tables after dinner weren't cleaned over night before breakfast. Some of the welcome drinks sat in the hallways for days before they got picked up. If you wanted to sit for breakfast or out by the pool you would have to go up to the bar to ask for a coffee even though it seemed like they were supposed to be coming around asking if you needed anything. It was very odd. The hammam area was also not well stocked and the staff doesn't tell you anything other than giving you a key to a locker. Overall, nicely designed and very odd place from a staff and maintenance perspective.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Selectum Colours Bodrum. The resort was lovely, staff were great, food on offer at the buffet restaurant, A La Carte restaurants and snack options were fabulous and the facilities generally were great. There were a couple of things to note. One downside to our visit was the fact that although there were plenty of sun beds there was not much in the way of shade options on the beach (it was very busy when we were there) and so we were very disappointed that the hotel did nothing to stop people placing towels to reserve their sun beds on the beds that had shade from early morning without using them for hours. Because of the lack of shade on the beach, this was an issue which they need to address. The only other recommendation I would make is if you use hair conditioner bring your own, although the shoewer gel, shampoo and body lotion were fine, the conditioner was not.
