Green Port Bodrum

The travel agent’s beach photos were clearly different from what was there. There is NO beach, just a concrete embankment and steps down into the water. It isn’t the cleanest place, and the food is basic with very little choice. The guides were incompetent: they advised us not to take our passports, then threw us off the bus halfway through the trip.

The balcony view was the best part, looking out beautifully across the water. We were almost the only guests off-season and were surprised the place was open. Our room was clean but a little tired, with a large double and a single bed separated by the bathroom. The manager was friendly and spoke English well. We booked room only, but could get hot water for drinks. The air conditioning kept the room warm. Hot water was available, though you had to let the tap run for a minute or two. Migros and Bim are nearby, with a bakery and restaurants within walking distance. For a budget stay, I bet it would be a really nice place to visit in summer.

I’d give no stars if I could. When we arrived, we were sent straight to our room with our bags and got no information about meal and drink times or where anything was, so we had to figure it out ourselves. The air conditioning wasn’t working. Someone came to refill the gas, but it still had a problem, and we eventually changed rooms later that evening. By then dinner was being served, so we rushed to get food. It was horrible, and we had to eat out despite paying for all-inclusive. What we did eat there made us ill, and by the end of our five days we both had diarrhea and sickness. The pool was dirty, our room was filthy, and the shower was broken. We spent the holiday at a local beach instead, and wasted so much money we hadn’t planned to spend. We just wanted five days of relaxing without having to go out. My partner and I are so upset. The staff were rude, and the DJ played the same rubbish songs every night and seemed more interested in flirting with us women. Honestly, don’t waste your money. Go somewhere else.

The smell from the soda area beside the buffet was awful, like rotten meat or a dead animal. I nearly vomited and couldn’t eat. The rooms were bad too, with a stench coming from the toilets through the old plumbing and right to the bed. I wanted to leave and find somewhere decent to sleep. If my pregnant wife and I hadn’t been exhausted and new to the area, I would have left in the middle of the night. I couldn’t sleep and woke at 5 a.m., counting the minutes until my wife got up so we could get out of there. I still can’t understand how this is possible. The property should be condemned and torn down. I’m not sure who they asked or paid for kind reviews, but none of them are true!
