Ephesia Holiday Beach Club

Well we have all just returned from a great holiday at this family friendly hotel, the staff were always on hand to help and we had no problems at all, the hotel room was great, the nice surprises were when the cleaning staff created towel designs on the bed for your return, after a day out. The food at the resort was fresh plentiful and enjoyable, just a shame the foreign visitors wasted so much after banqueting their tables with more than they could possibly ever eat, it seemed a shame to waste so much of it, although there was always... more

Super hotel - right on the beach, altho it's a very small beach! We were in the garden rooms - single storey almost like bungelows - not in the best position and probably the oldest part - but hey it was cheap & clean and who spends all their time in the room anyway. The rest of the rooms were nearer the ameinities in 2/3 story blocks, from what we saw they looked great. Garden/landscaped/pool areas - again very well kept and clean. A bonus for me was that everything was accessable via ramps - as I use a wheelchair this was a real bonus.... more

We have just returned from a very relaxing and enjoyable week here (29 Aug - 5 Sept). We were looking for a cheap all-inclusive break in the sun with no intentions of doing very much. We checked Tripadvisor before booking (via teletext holidays on the web) and most of the reviews appeared to be in French so we knew we weren't going to a hotel geared for Brits. We were also under no illusions and expected that this hotel, although listed as 4 stars, would most likely be 3 stars tops by UK standards. Our expectations were mostly... more

To start off with, if your driver takes you to a hotel called Ephesia, with a posh reception, your in the wrong place, because our driver did! Also, if you can, fly in from Izmir Airport, not Bodrum. Because Izmir is only an hour away and Bodrum is a good 2 - 2 and a half. Now, the hotel itself. On initial looks, it was very nice. Then we got to reception and spoke to the receptionist. How rude. He only just got the fact we were checking in by getting the co-manager to speak English to us! The room was nice, and the balcony was lovely. Try... more

We stayed there for one week on a lastminute deal. Mixed review. To start with the positives: 100% wonderful weather, choice of 3 pools, sea was a fantastic temperature, great tennis courts, sea view from room, good spa/massage options, tea and ice cream served daily. Negatives: Room was very average, much more 3* than 4*. Not sure they changed the bedsheets,just straightened them.Didn't get fresh towels. Grotty shower. Seperate single beds (we wanted a double). Service was not good, very variable. A couple of the staff were absolutely... more

I spent 12 days in this hotel and maximum time in sea was 45 min. because the vas very unclear beach with something snail from hotel pool.

Before I start this I have a question: for the people that went to the resort, if you saw a vine that was close to the beach when you walk down that big slope to the ocean, there's this thick grass looking vine, looks juicy and flowers seldomly. If you know the name of it then please post it, thanks =) So I'm going to have to start off with saying that the pricing wasn't fair. Europeans got to stay double the time we did for the same price and were treated better, and the service wasn't that great either. Most the time, your order... more

My Cousin and I stayed at the Pine Bay Club resort on 21st September for 1 week. We joined in all the activites during the day and at night. The hotel is just fantastic, so much to do! The food is great, and you can choose from a few snack bars at lunch which is great. Water, soft drinks, juices, tea/coffee and alcohol are all free which is just great. The beach disco was a good laugh, and it's lovely to dance the night away right on the beach. I would also recommend the Panorama Restaurant which is an a la... more
