Club Bozok Apartments

We have just returned from a very enjoyable two weeks staying at Club Bozok. The apartments themselves were lovely. So clean and fresh and still very new. The pool was great although if you are not a confident swimmer may not be ideal as it is 1m 70 the whole way across. There is a smaller children’s splash pool but not big enough for swimming. The bar is well stocked serving drinks, food and ice cream and all the staff are very friendly. There are pet rabbits and tortoise that wonder around the apartments too!
The resort of Gumbet is good with a wide variety of bars, shops and restaurants. We had fantastic meals at The Red Dragon, Aloha bar and Cafe de Colombia, but we recommend that you don’t go to Jasmin Gardens, or if you do stay away from the veggie lasagne! The Turkish men do tend to hassle every English person, just ignore them!

There are great bargains to be found in the shops and markets just only pay what you want for them as you can get the price down to about half of what they originally say.
Overall, we had a fantastic time and would recommend the apartments to anyone.

Brilliant holiday, think we were there when the 8 Irish girls were there (all nurses I think) and yes we are scarred for life, we were in the apartments below them, but at least we know a few Irish songs and dances now. Met some lovely people including them. Apartment’s lovely, very clean. Pool area kept immaculate as was the bar and tables. The staff, Alan, Eric, Ahmet and Fred etc were great, and nothing was too much trouble.

Gumbet was lovely, as lively or as quiet as you wanted it to be. We went the Roxy, the Aloha and the Happy Bar mostly but stayed at the apartments a couple of times, were we had some great laughs with the staff and the other guests. Turkish night is a must.
We have already booked to go back next year, as have a few of the families we met, this says a lot as I have never been or wanted to go to the same place twice.

Well people we were a group of eight girls all from Ireland bar one but she soon slipped into our ways! There was IVANNA, NOELEEN, ROISIN, JOANNE, CAROLINE, LAURA, GILLIAN, ANN MARIE.!! We had a ball and met the best of people. Whom we have probably scarred for life!!! Place was class and staff good craic. Hope my tri colour is flying high and apologies about flooding the place!!!
Keep the faith X

First class accommodation, spotlessly clean, maid service excellent. Holiday was fantastic, staff at hotel were excellent and were always happy to help with anything even one of the owners Ahmet, he was a character. Bar staff were amazing, marvellous with our two children, who loved all of them, especially barman who is known as Alan. Food was excellent and the chef was always happy to oblige even if things was not on the menu. Will definitely be returning to Gumbet and especially to this hotel. First class. Well done! Keep it up. See you next year.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. Apartments were spotless. My family and I had a lovely two weeks there. The staff were brilliant with the children especially the two barmen Alan and bob you couldn’t wish to be made to feel as welcome as we all did they were great nothing was too much trouble for them. I wasn’t over struck on the actual resort. The way they drive over there is unbelievable so remember to be on guard. I didn’t like the way you were hassled all the time to go in bars and shops but by the end of the holiday you got used to it. Anyway if you’re going to this hotel you will absolutely love it. So enjoy

In my opinion Club Bozok is everything you could ask for on holiday. set in a beautiful resort with a fantastic view, the club is highly maintained and to a great standard.
despite the spirals steps on entering, staff will go to great lengths to ensure your safety and ease, whether your problem be a pram, luggage or disability. the club also has a ramp that leads straight to the poolside bar for wheelchairs or prams.
all apartments are clean, spacious and all are currently being fitted with full air conditioning. the kitchenette comes equipped with cutlery and crockery, plus four bathroom towels and hairdryer, double hob cooker and washing up bowl. no plugs are provided due to the Muslim belief that all washing should be done in free running water.
the entertainment on a night is great and I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their generosity, help and kindness. all evening events are well organised and include pool parties, karaoke and Turkish nights.
facilities also include pool table, sky television, baby pool, and gardens.
I have been to turkey many times on previous occasions and have never been anywhere quite like Gumbet. the nightlife is fantastic for party animals, and if your looking for something more relaxed then there are plenty of quiet bars and restaurants down near the beach (about 8 minutes walk away). whatever you do in Gumbet ( boat trips, water sports etc.) I can ensure that you will have a fantastic time and will definitely want to return! 10 out of 10 *****

I stayed at the Club Bozok apartments this year with my 2 children, it was their first holiday abroad and they thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The owner Ahmet, and staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms very clean. There was alot of entertainment on hand like karaoke, Turkish nights and a barbecue. The only thing was that the main pool was a bit too deep for me as I am not a confident swimmer, but I coped sunbathing beside the pool. The children’s pool was ideal for the smaller ones in which my youngest spent most of her days. I will definitely be back and hope to stay here again.

Forget about the 39 steps with Club Bozok it’s a case of the 71 steps. That’s the number we had to climb to reach our apartment. There were people at a higher level than us. Surprisingly this new building doesn’t have a lift. The spiral staircase leading up from reception is a potential death trap !
Health and safety regulations would appear to be non-existent in Turkey - there was no information pertaining to the outbreak of fire in our apartment. There is no telephone.
Cooking facilities are limited to an appliance with only two rings. The balconies are tiny and although we thought the apartment was an adequate size for the two of us we felt that four people may have felt a bit claustrophobic. The apartments are spotlessly clean and the staff are very helpful.
We were without hot water for the first two days because of a lack of solar energy. We complained and hot water was available the following day. A £20 deposit is payable on arrival to defray costs in the event of breakages. However on handing back my key on leaving I asked for my money to be refunded and was told that I would have to wait for the boss to return. When I demanded that my money be refunded the staff member produced a large wad of £20 pound notes and I was duly handed my £20. I know for a fact that other holidaymakers had problems getting their money back. The Club Bozok does not have air -conditioning (May04) and satellite television is only available in the bar. Don’t make the mistake that we made of not bringing your CD player. Our complaints include (1) Faulty Toilet - poor flush (2) no plugs for sink or wash-hand basin (3)no tin-opener (4) no shower mat (5)no hangers (6)only one flimsy towel -no hand towel (7) poor lighting in lounge area (8) Cheap plastic chairs had to be used for dining table (unsafe in my experience) Watch your step in the Club Bozok there are steps everywhere. Much as I love dogs I was not happy at the way in which they appeared to have the freedom of the complex. They could be heard barking at night. I for one have a phobia of dogs overseas for obvious reasons. The Club Bozok is only about 6 minutes walk from the centre of Gumbet. There is much more to Gumbet than first meets the eye so be sure to explore the resort especially the beach area. Caveat Emptor let the buyer beware. Shop around especially for tours - you can save £5 on one tour (Ephesus). Avoid the Sunday market in Gumbet - a load of rubbish in my view. The locals are very friendly and helpful and they offer you apple tea.
Finally take care and remember your Green Cross Code !!!
