It is a splendid beach hotel on the slopes of the Bodrum peninsula. It is 2 km to the nearest village of Yaliciftlik and about 15 km from Bodrum city. Twice daily there is a complementary hotel shuttle to Bodrum city (at 11am and 6 pm) and there is an hourly dolmus, in the evening every half an hour. We arrived from the island of Kos. The taxi ride costs about 40 TL. All rooms offer a panoramic view of the bay. The furniture is a mix of styles in a variety of wood. Besides the huge outdoors pool, the (6 Senses) spa also has a heated... more

After a disappointing night at a small hotel in Bodrum, we moved to the Kempinski. This move saved our trip. The Kempinski is new, staff is exceptionally helpful, rooms are big, comfortable and quiet and the views can't be beat. The hotel has several restaurants, a great spa and several pools. Romantic 5-star hotel with fair rates. Highly recommended.

The new 5-star super deluxed Kempinski Bay Hotel are located in Yalıciftlik. We went to this place by boat which we rented from Bodrum center. Its a great sight to see the hotel from the sea. We rented the boat to cruise a round, but ended up staying at the bay hotel all day. They have great food and a fantastic beach. When we were there the hotel was just openend. [----]

We stayed in this beautiful hotel this years easter holiday. The other remarks concerning the remoteness are true, there is really nothing much to do around this hotel, within walking distance there is no bar, restaurant etc.But a dolmus drives to Bodrum quite frequently from near the hotel and it takes 20 minutes. We found the area of the hotel really great, no noise, amazingly green,superb views of the island around. The hotel is quite small, only 140 rooms, and there is alot of space for this amount of people, a nice beach, nice... more

My husband and I took our eleven year old for a week in October. The weather was chilly, so swimming in the pool was difficult as the heater hadn't been installed. The initial room for three had a third bed that was suitable for a young (5 and under) child. We subsequently upgraded to a suite which was worth every penny. The hotel is great, as are the staff and the setting is beautiful. The general manager is also very helpful. On the downside, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, so car hire is essential if you want to visit Bodrum... more

Me, my husband and two children (8,11 years old) have visited this great hotel in September. The location is really very impressive. The hotel has its own bay and private beach which was great for the children. The staff couldnt do enough, all very friendly and food was delicious. It is really the best place to relax and enjoy sea, sun and food. The charming town of Bodrum is 15 to 20 minutes from the hotel and here we were able to visit some very interesting historical places. Also we heard that Europe's largest Spa is opening at... more

..swam and relaxed in the stunning infinity pool - seemed as if i was in the bay. Lovely hotel in a beautiful cove with chrystal clear water, it seems as if one sees the fishes from the room as the water is so clear.

The hotel is calm and beautiful, but its too far from town! It didnt feel like we were at Bodrum at all, and the roads are sketchy at night w/ no lights and narrow streets through the hill - not great if you want to go out for a drink in Bodrum and then drive back. The other problem we had was the acs were not working on our side. After we complained, it took them a couple of hours to give us another room. The ac didnt work there either, and we had to wait another two hours too while the hotel was probably 20% occuppied. Finally when... more

My husband and I stayed at this resort the first week it opened, for a week. It has a beautiful pool and beach. The staff went out of their way to meet all of our needs. Good food. Spa not yet open. It is far from town, and expensive to get to town. Rooms were very comfortable with beautiful views of the sea.
