A group of 17 we stayed at Jasmin Beach from 13/9/2010 until 27/9/2010. Accomodation: Basic, could be cleaner and the bathrooms are in real need of attention. If they are not going to sort out the plumbing then at least provide everyone with a mop. No matter how slowly ou have the shower you end up with masses of water over the floor making it a nightmare to step out. The reception staff are great especially Jake who always greets you with a smile. Exchange rates are fair with no commission. This year we used the top pool, purely because of Romeo who works so very hard, always happy and goes out of his way for you. He joins in the fun and you can have a real laugh with him. The main bar - waste of time. Drinks are over priced and very weak. The staff serve any female under 30 with a pulse before anyone else gets a look in, really irritating. This was a return visit to Jasmine and have to say we were really disappointed with the entertainment. Not only was it exactly the same as the previous year, it was on the same nights in the same order. Vey sad to see Sharky had left and the entertainment role had been given to Emre. Sorry but I can only say Emre is not the right person for the job. If he's in a bad mood everyone knows it, if you don't go to turkish night or visit the gold factory he ignores you. He is rude to guests caling people fat boy and english idiot. Jasmine you really need to rethink your entertainment.
Gumbet's nightlife is fab for singles, couples and families alike. You cannot beat Molly Malones for a grea bar. Good alcohol for a fair price, excellent staff, warm welcome with no hassle. Entertainment is fun, good humoured and they do their best to involve everyone. Big groups and small groups are treated equally well. Molly's bar boys are the best in Gumbet. No sleaze and friendly to all. Red Dragon is great food but a bit pricey, Windy Bay does the best steaks, the parrot has the best selections of food and their turkih food is gorgeous. In our opinion Tempo is NOT worth a visit.
Weather was scorching. Never again would I ever travel with Thomas Cook. One of our party was run over the first night and was badly injured, thomas Cook rep Katie was an absolute disgrae, not even bothering to visit her client. Finally bumped into her five days later when she was more interested in showing her father her new tattoo than talking to her clients. Lesson learnt there !
Hoping to go back to Gumbet next year but will be checkin jasmin's reviews before re-booking there.

wel where do i start. jasmin beach had the most beautiful surroundings around the appartments which was wel looked after. also the location was fab as it was opposite the beach which was nice only problem was it was a bit shingly but wasnt drastic,the sea was lovely and clear.there was only a short 5/10 min walk to shops,bars and places to eat. best place was Windy bay great value for money and the food was beautiful.now back to the accomadation it was clean and basic which is all you need on a self catering holiday as you are out and about most of the day and night the staff was great they all loved my daughter jasmine they was ever so friendly.we attended the turkish night to in our accomadation and it was the best i have been to the food was amazing with great entertainment.also a good thing was that the entertainment never went on all night so it wasnt noisy all night long. i would defo go again to jasmin beach we loved everything about it.

hi jasmine beach was better than expected we have been to turkey 18 times but it was first time in gumbet we stayed at the top pool up 5 flights of stairs but Romeo the waiter was brilliant nothing was to much trouble and he was good fun better than any one of the staff at the main bar which they do rip you off with drinks I asked for gordons g and t and it was like water moods bar at the front near shop was ok staff in there was good, turkish bath at jasmine was CRAP worst one we have ever had and we have had many bets restaurant we found was red dragon we told everyone to go and all was pleased lots of stray dogs so avoid eating on the beach unless you like dogs sniffing around you the beach at front of the jasmine is disgusting in dire need of cleaning its crap we went to bodrum which is very nice but bid pricey would come again but not sure if we would stay at jasmine reception staff was excellant .

was at jasmin beach for 10 days. Was the first time ever in turkey, really enjoyed it. Staff are really friendly & funny. Ozzy, boni & efe are great barmen as well as efekan. gumbet bay is a great for something to eat, lots of lovely restaurants. Gumbet is close to Bodrum which can be reached easily by bus - 2.50 lira per person whcih is cheap. beach is lovely & clean. definitely spend 5 lira for the sunbed & cushion which you can have all day. entertainment at jasmin is great, something on every night. Emre is a great entertainments manager who gets everyone involved. Jasmin's turkish bbq night is not to be missed. A must have when you first arrive is a turkish bath. Jasmin's english breakfast is lovely and a must.

Just got back from 2 weeks at the jasmine beach apartments, was our first time in turkey but omg was the best holiday ever! There was 3 of us aged 19-21, so we were looking for somewhere abit lively but also somewhere relaxing. Apartments were basic, but all you need, we only used the apartment to sleep in and to get ready at night. The staff at the jasmine made the holiday, they are so friendly and know your names straight away. Big shout out to ozzy, boni, efkan, efe and all the other staff round the cocktail bar. Beach isnt that sandy, but its nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews on here, 5 lira for a sunbed with a cushion, but you get a drink with that which isnt too bad. Only ate at the jasmine on the last night, but the food was really nice so wish we had eaten there more, dennys and cozzy are really nice restaurants/bars. Bar street is amazing, very busy but a must when you go to gumbet. Shakers and X bar are probably the busiest, but the tempo bar is good. Defo going to book a holiday here again next year! Love it xxx

I was in 2 minds about going to Turkey but i am so glad i went. The staff at Jasmin Beach made my partner, our daughter and myself feel comfortable and relaxed. Emer, Falcon, Enrique and the rest of the staff could not have been anymore friendly and helpful! They always had time for the guests and were great with my daughter and the rest of the kids there. The rooms were basic but comfrotable so couldnt ask for more. We couldnt fault the food in the hotel and the service was excellent. There was also alot of other places to eat within walking distance from the hotel. We spent most of our 2wk holiday in the hotel as the entertainment was brilliant! The beach, shops, restaurants etc were all within mins walk. I will most definately be returning and have already recommended Jasmin Beach to family and friends. Hopefully see you all next year :-)

hi im keira 14 years of age when my mum was reading the reviews she started to have second thoughts.
but when we arrived we were at the top pool number 747 fantastic views.
you could jump over the balcony take 2 steps and jump in the pool!
the weather was amazing we went in august the food is delicious but i would not recomend going in the sea its a bit dirty i had the best time of my life i met new friends and was occupied with the pool.
the best place to have a kebab is papas fresh meat and fresh salad lovely.
but you must buy the air con !
get a turkish bath emense !
and put a towel on sun bed before 8 or you will have no chance. had an emense time hope you will too :) x

first time to jasmin beach was quite shocked when got to studio and yes the porter did a good job as there was 5 of us tipped him wel, studio was not good really shower time caused a pond in the bathroom which took an age to dry, cleaning not to good really did most ourselfs could have done with a mop or something, fridge warm most of time and they put the elec cooking rings above fridge which made it warmer still, cooking rings were broke never worked well at all and cockroach big it was to my horror complained and never saw anymore, room very hot you have to have the air conditioning otherwise unbearable heat.
Staff no complaints about them at all most friendly and helpfull and yes the young girls were served first but they are young men after all, beware getting white and rose wine its warm to warm to enjoy had to have ice cubes
beach scross fron aparts well it was not a beach at all just some what looked like pea shingle in places, dirty, litter, broken bottles the water i would not go in it best left out of your holiday stick with the pools in jasmin beach, didn't find it noisey but if you have a apart by pool then yes it would be noisy, never heard drunks coming back.
would i go back to jasmin beach aparts?
well yes i would planning to go back next year but not to the beach and in a 1 bed apart hope these are better otherwise i will ask to be moved if accaomadation no good

Me, My sister and Father booked a apartment at Jasmin with a memory full of bad reviews. Ignore them.. Jasmin beach is Brilliant. Friendly Staff, 3 Pools, beach just across the road, Entertainment daily, live football, English music, Internet Cafe, Games corner, everyone is English Speaking ( Maids, Taxi drivers, shop owners, bartenders, waiters, EVERYONE.)Jasmin also offer Turkish Baths etc which are very helpful for getting that bronze tan. These reviews saying its loud and noisy. Forget that! Its nothing near it unless your in an apartment or studio near the main pool. Easily resolved, ask for a top floor room away from the pool area.
The downfalls however are; Food is expensive especially from the Bar Restaurant. I recommend "Windy Bay" Cheaper, Bigger Portions, food is to die for and the specials include everything! example, Jasmin Restaurant - Pizza (18 TL) Drink (4-6 TL) Ice cream (6TL). Windy bay - Pizza, Drink, Ice Cream = 15TL!
The apartments at Jasmin are boiling. You have to hire a remote for the air conditioning which is c***. It hardly works unless you close the bedroom door in which the room gets very cool. Fans can also be hired from main reception which i recommend!
The beach across the road is not the best but has water sports, restaurants all along the front, boat trip booths etc and there is a taxi rank. Get a taxi to "Bitez Beach" which is the main beach that has practically everything. It will cost around £16 to get there and back.
Overall Jasmin Beach is Brilliant! We spent days by the pool, followed by beach days which included Bitez beach. We did water sports the lot and in the evenings we walked along the Jasmin beach front to eat. We went for a week and have all come back with amazing bronze tans.
