Samdan Hotel - Yalikavak

This hotel was perfect for a few nights stay before a sailing vacation. It's location was perfect with everything you need close by. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room itself was fine. Nothing fancy and a bit dated, but had everything you would need for a short stay. Our room overlooked the pool which was nice at times and a bit awkward other times. One night the hotel hosted a wedding reception which we found to be interesting. We ate at the restaurant which was very good and enjoyed the pool during the day.

My wife and I stayed 4-nights over New Years and hotel was not very busy and only the upper levels were open. The Good: Resort had large open areas, nice lobby, decks and fitness / pool areas. Staff was very helpful and breakfast was outstanding for the small amount of people at the resort. Our room was 828 and was very clean with a great view of the bay. Even though the majority of the resort was closed, we walked to the lower levels and beach areas which would be great in the summer months - this is somewhat of a walk if you are on the upper level.. The Bad: Lots of solid flooring (marble) and thin room walls so you can hear everything including peoples conversations in the adjacent room and televisions which is very disturbing. In the winter months the water Taxi is not running so you have to take a Taxi or walk into town which take about 20-minutes, need to remember this is on a hill so the walk back is up hill - there is a taxi stand just outside the hotel entrance so very close. In the winter months with reduced services (not the hotels) we would probably stay in town, however, in the summer months we would stay at this resort.as the location is perfect

I would say that location wise it's in the best place. O the southern side of the Bodrum Peninsula, it gets much less annoying wind as compared to the northern bays. It has a lovely beach. Service is top-notch, and the friendliness of the staff is extraordinary. Food is great, but I should admit that the prices are Kempinski prices, nearly 50% more than what you would pay in a decent touristic establishment and double what you would pay downtown. Room is fantastic and there is a view to die for. The spa, hamam and the pools (indoor and outdoor) are all great.

The place is full of flowers ansd balconies are hiding in them, you can see the sea from you room and and, city of Bodrum and its castel. I could tell a lot about this sweet, cozy and very friendly staff. In plus, the restaurant is got a fantastic food, local wines and home made bread:) thanks to Deniz, the manager and Ahmet for their grande attention and to all of the guys for making our el vino jorney so special!
