Riva Bodrum Resort- Adult Only +16

I think some people are very quick to complain! I had spent the weeks coming up to our trip reading reviews becoming concerned that the hotel was not as good as the picture when booking, however I was pleasantly surprised! when we arrived we could check straight into the room and the hotel staff carried the cases to the room and gave us a brief tour explaining the main features of the hotel. there are lots of steps so the reviews didn't lie on that case, however this is nothing unusual to other abroad destinations. we were in a hotel room located on its own block away from the main block which was lovely, the people in the room next door were very loud at times however nothing the hotel was at fault for! like any hotel that isn't brand new there are features such as the bathroom that are outdated, but had everything we needed. the room was very basic as expected, perhaps more wardrobe space would have been nice. I didn't know what to expect for the food. there was a different "main" meat each dinner time which was a nice change, with the side dishes generally being the same or different flavours of the same etc. a weeks stay was the perfect amount of time to be there without the food becoming repetitive! I have allergies so was slightly unsure what I was able to have but from speaking to the staff I was shown what I was and wasn't able to eat. there were 2 bars and drinks were all nice, however majority of cocktail options are all at an extra cost. there were daytime entertainment options if wanted but other pool options if wanting a quieter break. beaches nearby but have to walk down steep hills to get there. overall I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone who is wanting a cheap trip away

Mehmet very friendly and helpful working at the reception desk. All THREE POOLS ARE NICE Staff is friendly Food is good !

A terrible vacation. I've been to many places, but unfortunately, the only nice thing about this hotel is the view. Let's start with the people working there. They were smiling, but unfortunately, their English was terrible. It's very difficult to look at. Since it's a 4-star resort, you should be able to answer questions (I'm referring solely to the waiters; the reception was okay). In particular, I'd like to single out a very grumpy gentleman with rather long, dark blond hair. He was terribly unpleasant. He often poured drinks at the buffet, was rude and arrogant, and looked at people with attitude. Another issue was the room, which left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. I've never seen a more miserable 4-star hotel. Another sad thing is that, unfortunately, the hotel is adults-only, and the pool closes at 7 p.m., after which they ask people to leave. Since it's an adults-only resort, with temperatures like these, I suspect most people would like to cool off a bit longer. Personally, I didn't like the food; I had to go out to eat something good, even with the all-inclusive package. Unfortunately, Russian music is often played at the bar, which I didn't like much, especially since I'm in Turkey, so if you're going on vacation and want to listen to more international music, I wouldn't recommend it. In short, I was very disappointed. Finally, I'd like to emphasize that the air conditioning in the rooms doesn't work, the internet is terrible, practically nonexistent, and the TV is stuck in the 90s.

We have only just arrived, my husband left his wallet by the pool and it was returned almost instantly! Pleas ignore the naff reviews

Rooms- The rooms especially the showers are filthy. We stayed in room 308 for 10 nights. The shower had a piece of pipe which we think ran in from the air con that constantly dripped. However, didn’t quite do the job as water leaked onto the floor in the main bedroom, which was a slip hazard. The air con itself did not work which made sleeping difficult as the room was so hot. The bathroom was disgusting, when we first arrived we ran the slip mat for the shower inside the shower cubicle floor and it came out black! We wore sliders whilst taking a shower and inside the room. Everything is dated in the hotel itself and unclean. Toilets were blocked as you walked from the restaurant up to the lifts. Bad odors throughout the hotel including the restaurant.. Restaurant- The restaurant is dirty, especially the surfaces. The front area where the bread is kept looked like it’s never been cleaned. There were some good food choices but the cleanliness of the restaurant is off putting. Drinks- the beer was the best option. Gin and Vodka tasted like perfume, white wine tasted like the cheapest of the cheap and soft drinks weren’t much better. As other reviews have stated there is lots of steps most of which are broken in very poorly lighted areas. Pool areas- the large pool on -1 area is very dirty. It does not look like it has been swept or cleaned in a very long time. The cleanest out of the 3 areas was the pool near the restaurant. Staff weren’t very friendly and struggled to even reply to a hello or good morning. Entertainment- the music played in the sunset bar is what is played during the day and repeated at night only much louder. So a chilled evening is not an option as there is only one area to sit other than your room. The last 3 nights of our stay was like you were sitting in a nightclub and even louder than the beginning of our holiday. How EasyJet can sell this hotel as a 4 star rating is unbelievable and definitely cannot be doing much for there reputation. We do not recommend this hotel at all and definitely won’t be returning!
