" Only 1 word to describe the Nazar is... "
Submitted By: Mrs S McSorley
Only 1 word to describe the Nazar is fantastic. It is only rated as a 2 star hotel, but it is one of the best 2 star hotels I have stayed in here in Turkey. The staff were very attentive and the rooms although basic were very clean. Only 1 downfall is the pool backs on to a small sewerage treatments works and sometimes, depending on the wind you can get a smell but the pool area itself is immaculate and the staff always willing to help with sunbeds, drinks, etc. The hotel itself is in a great location - only 2 or 3 minutes and you are on the beach front. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

we was given the wrong rooms when we arived and it took 2day before we could change them, we had booked 2 double and got 2 twin rooms. there was a realy bad smell all over the hotel. when i asked the locals what it was they told us it was the sewers next door to hotel, the towles and bed sheets was only chaged once on are two week stay and that was because i had asked about it, there wasa live plug hanging of the wall in my sons room.

" I went with 2 of my friends last year... "
Submitted By: Miss Fiona N
I went with 2 of my friends last year and we thought Nazar was great! When the coach first pulled up we were a bit skeptical as it turned down what looked like a narrow passageway which we thought was a bit dodgy but it turned out to be fine and was just us being a bit nervous about being in an unfamiliar place!
The hotel is actually very well situated with restaurants and bars in every direction as you leave the building. Its also a 5 minute walk to the shopping centre and about a 10 minute walk to the beach. You're right in the centre of everything really but far enough out the way to get away from the hussle and bussle should you want to due to the location.
The staff at Nazar were really friendly and always made an effort to strike up conversation whenever they saw you. Smiley in particular was really nice!! There's someone on reception duty 24hrs a day and if we went out after midnight (being 3 young girls) we always got asked where we were going and told to be careful etc which we thought was lovely.
Nazar is about a 30 second walk to the Big Nose Bar which, if you've researched Altinkum, would've heard rave reviews about! Big Nose is situated next to The Swan restaurant which has good food and opposite Narnia which is another restaurant. Staff at Big Nose are great and will have you up off your seats doing their cheesy dance routines with them all night!!!
The only downside to Nazar is if you have young children. We didnt go out late on our first night and could hear music from Big Nose until about 3am so not great for the kids! If however you're like us and dont go to bed until most places have shut, then you'll be ok!! We went back in December/January and rented our own apartment but thats because it was cheap and Nazar was closed but we're going back this summer and will most probably stay there again!

Be very careful by the lifts, as the doors open outwards and there is little to no room in the corridor to get out the way if someone opens the door quickly, as my husband discovered after being hit full in the face by the metal door, as some excited teen flung the door open with no considreation for the fact that there could be someone walking past!
Would avoid Turkey July & August as it was VERY crowded with Turkish holiday makers, who don't always appreciate you being there! Beach beautiful, sea warm, hassle from shop owners still a pain, although not as bad now.
Take food and drink to Bodrum airport on your way home if needed, as they want £4 just for a can of Coke, or a snack could set you back at least £10!!
Advice: Fairly small, beautiful beach, cheap to eat out
Activities: Dalayan boat trip well worth it, ephesus hot and hard work!
Good for: Beach
