Zeytinada Hotel

This hotel has a very nice peaceful atmosphere. All of the staff are very friendly polite and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily to a very high standard. I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and look forward to visiting again later in the year. It’s on a busy main road but you cannot hear any traffic noise in your room. Very easy to travel into bodrum Center taking a dolmus from outside the hotel. Perfect for a relaxing holiday .

A lovely peaceful hotel with delicious food. We stayed for 11 nights in a suite, the room was very clean and very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 children. All the staff were friendly and helpful. This is a quiet hotel which is perfect for a relaxing break. They had a band play once a week on a Thursday, if we could have changed anything it would have been nice to have a little more entertainment in the evenings. Bar prices were reasonable at the hotel and the lunch time menu was very good. We used the local bus to travel into Bodrum a few times. We also visited the local strip of bars and restaurants in Torba. There is very little public beach in Torba, however the local bars have sun loungers on decking and if you eat and drink there you can use the parasols and sun loungers. Overall this is a lovely hotel with great facilities and delicious food.

Comfortably appointed rooms, very clean and housekeeping do excellent job. Good linens, but mattress on firm side (needed a mattress topper). Efficient air conditioning in room. Package tour companies are usually at back of the hotel and not overlooking the beautifully tended gardens and pool, unless an up-grade is offered. Building works ongoing on main road side adjacent to hotel, so early noise. Busy with airline personnel on short stop-overs representing a good percentage of their business. Lovely dining areas and really tasty Turkish meals both at breakfast and dinner. Well done the Chef(s)! Only drawback are nuisance feral cats, some even jumping up at the table and then fed by guests from the table. One customer badly scratched! Whilst sympathetic with the plight of stray animals, this should be discouraged within the dining areas, as it is potentially very serious if scratched or bitten. House white wine acceptable, but not truly dry - the red house wine, served cold and quite undrinkable, such a shame. Pity they don't deal with Kavak! Lunch menu very 'international' and NOT with a Turkish bias. Comfortable sun loungers and plentiful. Also a shame it lacks a help yourself chai station throughout the day - thought this was key to Turkish hospitality... Music played at acceptable volume around the pool, but on a continuous repetitive loop which can be tiresome. No sign of any transport to beach from hotel as advertised with Jet2, nor any entertainment whatsoever throughout the whole ten days in May. Some appropriate low-key live music would have been welcome, i.e. Saz or Guitar, or even basic cookery demonstrations. The pros are the colourful garden setting around the pool, the cons are the hugely inflated bar prices, which I suspect help subsidise the wonderful meals. Alcohol, when available, is and has always been, expensive in Turkey but £40.00+ for a bottle of undrinkable, high volume % 'Sherry'-like wine isn't acceptable. Their Rose looked like Ribena! No wonder the Belgians, Brits and Germans stick to the beers! It would have been perfect if the wine situation could have been sensibly resolved, which it wasn't. Migros over the road does a roaring trade with hotel guests! Overall, a lovely tranquil oasis, but needing just a few tweaks.

This hotel centres around its lovely pool. It is surrounded by beautiful flowering vegetation and olive trees that are 300 years old. Most rooms have a nice balcony view of that although mine was of neighbouring apartments (I did not mind). The service is almost over zealous and I felt it unnecessary to offer clean towels every day. It however does offer you that special feeling. The reception staff speak good english but that is limited in other staff. I enjoyed the fabulous salad bar in the restaurant with so many Turkish treats and the food was plentiful and of very high quality on my half board package. They showcased the abundant seasonal fruit and vegetables of the area. The pool area was as others have described and it was a short walk to the local beach bars where you can have a sunbed and parasol on a wooden platform overhanging the sea for the price of a few drinks. It is a bit quiet at night but that offers the perfect relaxation that many like me will seek and you can easily access central Bodrum if you seek something livelier.

It's a very good looking four star with 4 star service. It's almost like a big, boutique hotel and we really enjoyed it. The rooms are four star, not five star, but we were happy because a room's a room and it's all OK. It's more of an adult oasis because it lacks stuff for kids. So the pool is very nice to chill by, the food's good, the booze is good, it's a taxi ride away from Bodrum etc... It's all really good. And if you want to do stuff (Ephesus, the cotton castle etc...), Danny's agency is a 5 minute stroll away. I personally really enjoyed the food. However, if you're after English stuff (e.g. an English cooked breakfast etc...), you won't get it. Everything has a really Turkish style to it. So breakfast is fabulous and there is hot stuff like eggs etc... or freshly cooked omelette etc... but otherwise I really enjoyed it. One thing I'd have done is eaten out a bit more. We bought a half board and that was great and we enjoyed the food but there are a ton of amazing restaurants. Plus the Turkish Lira had dropped like a stone so we were rich and had enough money to eat anywhere and everywhere! As for getting into Bodrum, it's a short taxi ride away. It takes about 1 minute for the taxi to arrive, 5 - 10 minutes to get into the centre or the beach and taxis in June are plentiful. Taxis all had a meter and we could trust them. Service is 4 star and English ranges from limited to good. Some of the servers spoke very rudimentary English through to a couple who spoke excellent English. And service was good for a 4 star. We liked it. We always tip a little but we didn't need to. There is a small gym there which was exactly what I needed. I'm recovering from a hospital stay so a bit of gym exercise every couple of days was perfect. And the gym guy 'KTM' is a really good guy.

I stayed at Zeytinada in May 2022. It is a place with character and charm. Ideal for people wishing a peaceful and high quality vacation. It is a compact hotel with a nice design and enviroment. You are surrounded by nature - trees and flowers. Because it is located in the small village next to the sea, air is very clean. You will definitely feel it. Its design is simple but efficient. Everything close to each other. Food is very good. Wonderful buffet breakfast with lots of choice. I'd like to thank the staff of the hotel - Nurtan, Sevda, Leyla, Hasan, Gokay, Alaaddin cheif and other guys whose names I do not remember right now. Special thanks to the cleaning lady whose name I do not know. Cleaning was at the top level. I appreciate your efforts, guys!
