" Great Holiday - No Complaints AT ALL "
Submitted By: Colin & Carole
We have just come back from a really good week's holiday at this hotel with our three teenagers (15-18) who thought they could only stand being with us for the one week but wish we had all stayed for two.
We were very warmly welcomed when we arrived early afternoon and as our rooms weren't immediately ready they took our bags and escorted us down to the restaurant for a very nice lunch and drinks.
Our rooms were spacious with good views and we couldn't fault them. Cleaners were good,Reception were helpful through out our stay and we found all the Bar Staff and Waiters to be pleasant and very obliging (even though we were English- see previous reviews)
Pools were good and clean, and we all enjoyed the pool slides (pool near hotel entrance). We did spend more time down by the sea on a very clean decked area, where there were ample sunbeds and umbrellas at all times - with two beach bars and a cafe. To get sunbeds around the pool, one of us had to be down there by 8am - but then we had a swim and went for a nice breakfast, we can recommend the omelettes and fresh pancakes and fruit.
We found the food to be of good quality and varied with a good choice of salads. Our teenagers joined us for every meal!
We especially enjoyed the BBQs every evening-the fish was the best we have had on an all-inclusive. If you want Chips, Pizzas, Burgers and stuff- they are available at the snackbars. We liked the turkish wraps at the beach bar.
Bodrum is worth visiting, especially the Market, Castle and Marina and it is easy to catch a dolmus(bus)from and back to the hotel entrance for less than a pound each way.
But we mainly ate at the hotel. There was live music at the pool bar till 12 and then a disco which our lot went to every night till the early hours and made some good friends.
It is true that the after midnight you have to pay Brighton prices for a drink, but all we will say is with six bars and a restaurant open from 10am until midnight between them that was indeed sufficient for us.................

" The Krap Kervansary "
Submitted By: jubbs
Well what can i say we arrived at 12.00am at reception no greeting none of the staff spoke english,was taken to our room which was ok! the vue from the room in the morning was a building site.We went down to brekfast which was ok (depends what you like) then went to get a sunbed which there aint enough of!! The bar staff are VERY RUDE they do not like the english at all they ignored us all the time this is no 5* hotel.Then for the cleaning or should i say the none cleaning of the room the bath was never cleaned for the whole week we were there the bed wasn't changed and we had the same towels all week!!! Ive been in better 2* hotels and we paid a hell of alot of money for this holiday never again will i be going back!! All i can say is if you decide to go to this hotel GOOD LUCK because you'll need it.
Advice: bodrum itself was great but the hotel was awful.

" worst staff ever "
Submitted By: mickphilcom
first impressions were that it's a nice, posh hotel. we booked in approx 4am, the bell boy took us to our appartment which was quite nice but not really 5* material. food was not bad but some days was very nice, just depends on what you like! few days in we got the feeling that the staff didnt really like english people, its just that every time we got a drink, the bar staff looked at you then slam the drink down, like you had just stole his wife!! we thought it was us so we asked another couple(english) and they said they were treat like they weren't wanted in the hotel! the maids were always full of smiles and really nice! basically the hotel caters for french, germans, russians etc. but NOT for english. paid a lot of money to be treat like [--] from the staff.

" A fantastic resort!! "
Submitted By: Hannie
Myself and a friend visited this resort at the beginning of may, and were a little worried about what we may find after reading many of the reviews. The resort was fantastic offering something for everyone. The entertainment staff were always around the pool area holding various games and activities during the day.
The main pool area was always full, but we preferred to stay around a smaller pool (near the entrance) as it had water slides and this pool was much quieter.
There was also a lift going down to the beach which was all decked with sun beds on and also a bar down there too!
The food was fantastic, which loads of choice everyday, it would be difficult for anyone to go hungry at this place!!
The staff were always polite and friendly and went out of their way to please you
The only down side to the resort was that the evening entertainment was not the best, and if your there for a 2 week holiday you will see the same thing twice.
The is a small shop within the hotel on the ground floor which is quite expensive so if you want inflatables i would take them with you or go to Bodrum (the hotel offers a free bus service)
Taxis were also cheap and always available if you fancy a night out in Bodrum(6 person taxi was 40TL).
The rooms were spotless and cleaned every day.
There were safes in every room which were free to use.

" Just got back from 2 weeks at this... "
Submitted By: Mr D GRIGGS
Just got back from 2 weeks at this hotel all inclusive ( so called 5 star ),from the moment of arrival at the reception to leaving both myself and my wife were left with a bitter taste of regret. Regret that we had gone there, upon arrival the bell man shouted and slammed the door shut,why? because I tendered english pound coins as a tip this at 5 am in the morning after a long day travelling.Had I insulted him by my action ?. The following days were to continue with this theme the bar staff were rude and abrupt,the management turned a blind eye,We dont feel that the English are made welcome at this hotel the same as other nationalities,the food on offer was very bland and only warmed,the entertainment was poor,overall this was the worst resort we had stayed in.Not sure that it might be us so I decided to ask questions of other english people staying, I was not suprised to hear that they all had uncanny similar views.Having travelled far and wide over many years this was without a doubt the worst resort hotel ever.We could not wait to leave. The only person working there with a big smile and a warm hello was the room maid. So come on if you are going to accept English holidayers at your hotel at least make a big effort and make them feel welcome,after all you had our very hard earned money,or maybe have a word with the room maid she did not have a problem maybe she could give you a few pointers,by the way we were in room 1622....

" We have just came back off holiday... "
Submitted By: Mrs D SARIN
We have just came back off holiday less than a week ago and we absolutely loved it. We were very nervous of going after reading some of the reviews from last year and the fact that my husband was never keen on going to turkey after hearing bad stories added to the worry.
The hotel rooms were very clean and tidy and cleaned every day, and it was late in the afternoon so you never got disturbed if you wanted a lie in. On the night time when the entertainment etc had fininshed there was never any noise of people going back to their rooms. People were very repectful in that sense.
We have three children and were very worried about being split in opposite ends of the hotel as the maximum occupancy is three people, but we were next door to one another.
The hotel itself is massive it is situated over 5 floors but has lifts and escalators. it is def one of the best hotels that we have stayed in.
The food was very nice I am a very picky eater but always found something that i liked.
The only down side was that we could never get beds near the pool, they had always been reserved by people early in the morning, despite signs up every where not to do this. But we never let this spoil our holiday.
5 Out of the seven days we were there we got the litttle mini bus (Dolmus) into bodrum it only cost 10 YTL for the five of us which is approx £4. There was a magnificent marina loads of shops and bazaars, which is your chance of doing some haggling. my eldest son who is only 11yrs old haggled for a cap and got it half the price.
There is also a castle there which you can visit along the marina, which if you are into that sort of thing is well worth a look.
All in all it was a great holiday but there is more to resort than just the hotel there were people there who had never left the hotel all week because they were all inclusive.
There are lots of restuarants in the centre, there is even a mcdonalds. If you do venture into the town you must try a kebab they are amazing not like the processed crap you get here.
If you want a great hol then the Kervansaray is the place to go.

" After having been back nearly 2 weeks... "
Submitted By: Miss D Marshall
After having been back nearly 2 weeks from this resort I want to go back. The resort is just fantastic. I went with a friend and her daughter (who is 5) and we all absolutely loved it. The hotel is great and all the staff were absolutely fantastic and very friendly.
You can never be bored at this place as the animation team are around most of the day and night with pool games to play, mini golf, darts, aerobics etc and shows to watch in the evening. They aren't pushy and if you don't want to join in they don't mither you.
There was a mixed range of people there ranging from couples, groups of girls, groups of lads, families so it caters for everyone and if you want a night out in Bodrum its not that far away.
The food was also very good and there was plenty of choice.
Although there weren't many other English people whilst we were there it didn't affect us in the slightest. It tended to be mostly Belgians but most seemed to speak very good English and were really friendly and of course the staff and animation team all speak English too. We made some very good friends out there who we have kept in touch with since we've been back.
All in all I can't fault the place and would definitely recommend it.

" Hotel Kervansaray in Torba – bodrum... "
Submitted By: Mrs JA Nuttall
Hotel Kervansaray in Torba – bodrum is an absolute brilliant place.
We have just got home after a lovely week there and I wish I were still there.
The staff are very friendly and helpful; the Animation Team are amazing, absolutely hilarious, but very professional. There is a kids club, and pool entertainment in the daytime, a kid’s Disco 8:30pm and a show or competition every night at 10:00pm. The Shows were my favourite, I’ve never laughed so much the humour is centred towards adults but still being very funny for the children to watch. The Animation manager and team are very talented and I’ve never heard people speak so many different languages. I give the Animation team 10/10, the hotel 9/10 the rooms 7/10 this is because they are slightly basic, but immaculately clean, new towels every day. Food 7/10 there is enough for everyone and plenty to choose from and you don’t have to queue, but I give it 7/10 because children could do with there own little section with kids stuff like fish fingers, chicken nuggets beans etc as there is not always much choice for them especially if you have a child who doesn’t like food in sauces etc. The snack bar between 12 – 5 has burgers, chips, hotdogs, cheese toasties, jacket potatoes, pizza, spaghetti bolognaise and salad. The beer served is Tuborg that my partner wasn’t fussed about, as he prefers the Efes, but on a whole the place is Brill, and we will be definitely going back in the near future.

" just came back from a wonderful week... "
Submitted By: Mrs E Poulton
just came back from a wonderful week at Kervansaray. Couldnt fault the hotel at all....the selection an quality of food was excellent. Hotel was always spotlessly clean, staff couldnt have been more helpful. Location was good, however you are somewhat restricted to the resort unless you pay 1.5euro or 2 TYL to get the local DOLMUS (mini bus) into bodrum. They run frequently and last Dolmus leaving Bodrum is 1am!
Wouldnt btoher taking your own towls as hotel provides bathroom towels in the room and on arrival you are given a beach towel card per person. You can then change your beach towels up daily at allocated times.
All drinks are free until midnight, after that the bars are still open but drinks will be charged to your room.
Wouldnt advise this resort if you have mobility problems as lots of hills and steps.

Submitted By: Mr O Kanal
We spent two wonderful weeks with my family in Kervansaray. The food was wonderful; the staff was very helpful and friendly. We have already made plans to visit the hotel again next year.
Having a one year old baby we were not sure about going on holiday, but Kervansaray hotel really caters for all our needs. I would recommend anyone with kids to go and have a wonderful time in Kervansaray - Bodrum hotel.
There were transfers to the town centre every 2 hours. The rooms were very clean. Our baby really enjoyed it too. I cannot say how much we enjoyed it and will recommend anyone to go and try it for themselves. I cannot say anything negative about it.
