Maritim Hotel Golkoy

The bay's other places at the head have much wider, nicer sandy piers, and you can see the sand clearly through the water. The seabed there seems more suitable for children. I've experienced those places myself and found them much better. The distinctive thing about this area is its sandy beach and bottom, but directly in front of this establishment I couldn't see any sand, only reeds in the sea. The waiters aren't part of my complaint, but the business itself was terrible. The blonde woman at the register, whose name I don't know, was rude and arrogant while taking the bill, especially when service should be good. She said things like, "the bill is too high, everyone pays separately." Places like this are hurting tourism.

The food was fantastic, and the friendly staff really went out of their way for us. My family and I felt like we were in paradise, and the hosts were wonderful too. The rooms were first class, with the latest amenities, and the staff were professional. I've been coming here for 20 years and still find something new each time. A wonderful place that leaves nothing to be desired. Five stars plus one more. Thanks from Germany to Sahap and Secim, and to Family M. and H.

At night, stir the seawater and you'll see the sea sparkle on your trousers. I haven't stayed at the hotel, but this is my favorite swimming spot in the area. The wide pier has loungers where you can relax, and you can order food and drinks. The place is very clean and the staff are incredibly helpful. At sunset they clear the loungers and set the tables, turning the pier into a restaurant. Prices seem quite reasonable for the Bodrum Peninsula, especially considering the service, tasty food, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Parking is free.

Parking is easy in the morning and evening, though daytime can be difficult because day visitors use all three hotels. Prices are aimed at the upper-middle and upper end, but that's Bodrum. This is a 10-room boutique hotel with clean, adequately sized rooms and a standard breakfast. You get to the sea from the pier.
