Hotel Kivanc

The staff were the one good thing here. They were very helpful, and I want to thank them. The rooms were old and uncomfortable, with a broken bed for the children. The food was awful, repetitive, cold, and tasteless. When my daughter showered, the cold water stopped coming from the tap. The women's pool was small and had loud music playing all the time, so we couldn't hear each other. Yesterday I counted 49 women and children in the water. I spoke to other guests and they all said the same thing. If you want a Muslim holiday, don't go to Bodrum, women there are naked. And to the chef, how did you cook yesterday's steak, with your feet?

There are shops and markets nearby, and the beach is only a five-minute walk away. The hotel also has activities for children. At the buffet, we enjoyed the food, with plenty of Turkish dishes to choose from. For Muslim families or couples looking for a place in Bodrum, this hotel through Halal booking is a good option. Most rooms have lovely views over Gumbet Beach and the sea, and the rooms have the basics you need and are regularly cleaned by staff. I'd recommend the hotel and the experience.

For hijabi Muslim women, being able to swim and sunbathe without hijab in a friendly setting is priceless. The women's pool has hot and cold drinks, and the modest dress rule in mixed areas is a real plus. If you can, try the privately hired indoor pool with jacuzzi, it was an incredible experience. The staff were kind, polite, and helpful, especially Inanc, and the owner was kind too. Some staff speak Arabic, English, or Russian, and everyone did their best to help. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Turkey is still Turkey, so music and men and women smoking in public are normal, and music from other hotels can be noisy at night. Earplugs helped with that. I highly recommend this hotel.

We spent eight nights at Inanc Resort Hotel in August and really enjoyed our trip. The hotel had a good range of local and international dishes at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a mini club, playground, and other activities for children. We felt comfortable and safe, and the staff were helpful and accommodating. I'd recommend staying here. A hand basin in the dining area would make things easier after eating, so you wouldn't have to go back to your room or use the bathroom by reception to wash your hands.
