Parkim Ayaz Hotel Reviews
" Best holiday ever!!! "
Submitted By: NeekoColey
I went to Parkim Ayaz in June with my boyfriend...it was the best holiday ever! I'd recommend it to all my friends. We are only 24 so the noise of the bars didnt bother us as we were out every night, some people were complaining about the noise when we we're there but these people we're older. Foods really nice at the hotel and we also ate out some nights. Red Dragon restaurant is highly recommended! Turkish people are really friendly! I'm going back in 2010 with the girls!
Advice: Highly recommended!!!

" Couldn't ask for more..... "
Submitted By: Jopippy
Just returned from a weeks' break at this hotel. Absolutely brilliant. In the brochure it says this is a 3* hotel. It is infact a 4*, and rightly so. Some reviews, had said that the rooms were very basic. Well, I couldn't complain. There were two of us (52 and 42yrs).
The room consisted of a double bed, single bed, double wardrobe with plenty of shelves too, settee, and tv. The bathroom had everything you needed. (including a hairdryer that works better than the one I have at home, now that's a first!!)We also had a balcony.
There are 3 bars to the complex, Denny's Bar, Ladybird, and Cozzy Beach. All are equally good. Some of the cocktails are a little on the weak side, but hey, if you want to get slaughtered go into Gumbet, or pay the price for brand names. There's entertainment of some description on day and night.
The variety of food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner.
The beach couldn't be closer. There's an abundance of sunbeds. (Free)
The staff are there waiting on you hand and foot, both in the hotel and on the beach, you just don't have to do a thing!!
There's a large variety of water sports on offer too.
The "Chill Out Cruise" is a must, especially if you can swim.
There are many lovely excursions to go on.
There are only 2 things they we could pick fault with. They are minor.
We didn't have a sea view. - Well not everyone could have one!!!
Some of the food that's on offer in the 'dining hall' could have been labelled as to what ingredients they contained.
For a weeks' holiday for less than £300, who could ask for more?

Advice: Gumbet has a lively atmosphere if thats what you want. If you want some "me time", this is the place
Activities: Chill Out Cruise is a must. A visit to see the Dream Girls is a laugh. Bodrum Castle.

" FANTASTIC HOTEL ....BUT A COUPLE OF THINGS TO CONSIDER "
Submitted By: Hvnly
This hotel is fantastic, well laid out, big rooms with balcony (BUT THERE ARE SOME ROOMS THAT LOOK DIRECTLY ONTO A BRICK WALL) clean (towels changed every day, sheets every 3)
The complex is massive and is quite spread out, pools are great, its right on the shingle beach, sunbeds, hammocks and swings are free, the sea is very shallow but stony
The food is some of the best I've had in Turkey with a large variety of salads, meat and the desserts are great, there are no drinks with dinner and its expensive in the restaurant
WHEN IT GETS BUSY THE RESTAURANT IS A BIT OF A BUN FIGHT
The ladybird bar is small but the staff are lovely, they all speak really good english and are chatty and really helpful. Drinks are expensive everywhere Gin & Tonic (turkish) £3.50 (triple), large beer about £2, coke about £2 but the snacky food is great, a large chicken salad will cost about £4
The Cozzy Bar is big and has entertainment on almost every night, the usual turkish night, snake charmer, belly dancers etc
The bus into Bodrum stops right outside the hotel reception and costs £1 where ever you want to go
There's a supermarket right outside reception for bottle water as its loads cheaper than the hotel
Room fridges - they won't let you put any of your own drinks in the fridge in season so you have to be a bit crafty. When the cleaner has been put your drinks in - just make sure you move them before they get there the following day otherwise they CONFISCATE YOUR DRINKS until you go home - very weird I must say.

" Great Holiday "
Submitted By: Litchi
This is my first review on a holiday xperience. Before booking a holida to Turkey, I read loads of reviews, and was stunned to see SOOO may bad reviews, about food, service, hotel, cleanliness, walking distance, you name it!
But what a surprise we had on our holiday. Turkey is NOT a 1st world country so its fair not to expect the same standards. The hotel is being revamped after Parkim Palas and Ayaz Hotel were combined. The staff are really great, friendly, always willing to help. The room was a bit of a dissapointment, but clean linen and towels. And besides I went on holiday to be outside in the sun and not indoors. The shower room was not that great, but its a standard that Turkish people are used to I guess.
The food was great on a Half Board deal. Always fresh, delicious and loads of variety. The catering staff were all professionally dressed and clean and tidy, and NO insects and flies as read on some other reviews.
What was great you can just walk out your room and onto the dining hall on the beach front, and enjoy the sunshine with meals, and around the cafe and bars. the hotel has 3 swimming pools. On negative is that the music never stopped! Alway noise around from building work, people around, bars playing music until 3am. So if a quiet holiday you are after, this is not the hotel to stay at. Gumbet has a great nightlife and the hotel is situated in the centre of Gumbet, easy walking around and loads of place to choose from to eat, drink and dance.
Overall a fantastic holiday and would advice it to anyone looking for sun and sea for a week. Check out the holtel website too.
Happy travelling!
