The hotel is located on the beach in the centre of Gumbet with local transport passing in front of the property on a regular basis and a taxi stand situated nearby. The cosmopolitan resort of Bodrum, with its large yacht marina and the impressive St Peter's Castle, are both approximately 3 km away and are definitely worth a visit. There are numerous restaurants, bars, clubs and shops not far from the establishment. Two family-run hotels are combined and operating as a single complex. Their facilities include a common dining room, a charming café and a la carte restaurant. There is a good selection of sports and recreation activities and the complex also offers wireless Internet access in the lobby area. The rooms have tiled floors and are equipped with a satellite TV and individually regulated air conditioning.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
I have been coming to this hotel for ten years and it just gets better every time. The service is amazing. Mustafa, vahap and the rest in restaurant are brilliant. We spent most of our time by the bubble pool and Liz and Ayaz were fantastic he even knew what we all drank by the end of our stay and there were 9 of us. Food was lovely and the ice cream / waffle place was fantastic too. The new gardens are lovely and so well kept. I also love coming to see the cats/kittens here. Until next time
An unforgettable stay ❤️
Parkim Ayaz was absolutely amazing! But I especially want to mention Ozge, the best animator ever! 🥰 Always smiling, super cool, full of positive energy and with an amazing personality. She really knows how to make people feel happy and enjoy every moment! ❤️
A big thank you also to Deniz, Mehmet and Yilmaz from Ozge’s team — you guys were amazing! 🔥
And honestly, the whole hotel team deserves a big thank you. Everyone was so friendly and smiling, including the lovely girl at the bar and the restaurant buffet. The beach was clean, the atmosphere was beautiful, and everything was just perfect.
I had such a wonderful time at Parkim Ayaz and I’m definitely hoping to come back next year! 🇹🇷❤️
Not a good experience at all soo far. Broken matress. Aint slept two nights ! And still aint sorted it !
How there are no bad reviews for this hotel is honestly beyond me. I’m extremely let down by our stay.
Yes, the location is lovely, the staff are mostly friendly and the hotel is generally clean. However, there were some very serious issues that I simply can’t ignore.
Money went missing from our room twice. We reported this to management and were told that nobody other than the cleaning/management staff should have access to the room. Unfortunately, we didn’t feel that enough was done about it. We were told that this had “never happened before”, but after it happened twice during our stay, I find that very difficult to believe. We were left feeling extremely uncomfortable and disappointed.
The sunbed situation is also ridiculous. If you want a bed around the pool, you basically need to be up at 6am. There simply aren’t enough for the number of guests, and there isn’t enough space around the pool. If you’re happy sitting on the beach, you’ll be fine, but around the pool it’s a completely different story.
Another thing I really didn’t like was people smoking in the swimming pool, even with young children and babies around. I have absolutely no issue with people smoking where it is permitted, but smoking while actually sitting in a pool with children around is something I don’t think should be allowed. Add drunk men behaving badly in the pool around children and it really wasn’t pleasant or relaxing.
The animation team were fantastic — always happy, friendly and lovely with the guests. However, I do think there needs to be much more entertainment for children, both during the day and in the evening. There was mainly a mini disco and a dance show at night. The hotel has such a fantastic location and could offer so much more.
The food was also a big disappointment for us. I know lots of people rave about it, but my family really didn’t feel the same. The children ended up eating chips or plain pasta most nights because there wasn’t enough they wanted to eat. We also all had bad stomachs during the holiday, and I was actually sick one night.
I also think the hotel desperately needs clearer allergy information. I had a cake which had banana in the middle, despite there being no obvious allergy information displayed. I cannot eat banana, so this is something that could potentially be very dangerous for someone with a serious allergy.
Overall, this hotel could easily be a 10/10 because the location is brilliant, the staff are lovely and there is so much potential. But improvements are definitely needed — more sunbeds, better and more varied food, proper allergy labelling, more entertainment and, most importantly, guests need to feel completely safe and confident that their belongings are secure in their rooms.
A special mention to the lady who does the dancing, the DJ and the men in the restaurant — you were all absolutely fantastic and deserve a 10/10. ❤️
Unfortunately, based on our experience I would not recommend
