Surmeli Efes Hotel is a modern resort hotel and it is located on the Ephesus Antique Beach-Selcuk and conveniently situated close to many famous city sights, Ephesus Ancient City 4 km, Basilica of St. Jean, House of Virgin Mary, Archeological Museum, Selcuk Town, Kusadasi and Shopping District. In additional to five star comfort and resort hotel facilities, hotel offers a traditional Turkish hospitality for your holiday, parties as well as your business meetings and seminars.
I booked Efes Surmeli with trepidation after reading such terrible reviews. However, on only paying £20 each for 2 adults and our 5 year old being free, I thought I had nothing to lose and how right I was!
I’ve stayed in many a hotel over the years but I would say this one tried but was lacking something, not very family friendly.
Animation team, well what can I say only that a bunch of monkeys could do better. Food was bland and seemed...

My friend and I booked this holiday through Last Minute.com then read the reviews and wondered if we had made the right choice. But decided that we would make the best of the location and All Inclusive and relax and enjoy ourselves.
After reading some of the comments made about this hotel before going, I had thought it was going to be a bad holiday.
But we were so pleasantly surprised to find none of them to be true while we were there.
The hotel was very clean...

I read the reviews on this website after I had booked but before I went and I really began to wonder why we were bothering to go...I was tempted to stay at home.
However, we had a really good time and although I believe there are some...

As we arrived at the hotel I was drawn back by the appearance of it, it was breathtaking.
After checking in, in the magnificent lobby we were taken outside to the adjoining apartments. We were on the third floor, the room was basic but the big...

I read the review for this hotel upon our arrival back in England. Myself and my partner booked last minute as we had not been away for some time together and needed a relaxing all inclusive break to unwind by the sea.
Just wanted to point out that this hotel is totally anti-English, the staff at the reception are so un-helpful.
This hotel is rated as a 5* (no way) the outside areas could be classed as that but as for the accommodation 3* and the food 2...

If you are a family traveling or a couple looking for a break then this is an important review!
I did read all the other reviews (unfortunately after I had booked as we went last minute) I was expecting the following.
As you leave the airplane at Bodrum you are hit by the scorching mid day heat. Most people say that it is a 40 minute drive from Bodrum airport to the hotel but it isn’t... more like 2 hours 30 minutes. after all this you get into the hotel lobby and...
