Three teenage lads, we arrived at the Jasmin at 11pm and was shown to our room,

We went down long dark path ways and up lots of stairs. When we arrived at the room it was like a store room, it had NO windows NO balcony it had a bathroom and 3 small beds and a fridge. The room was very dull, and because it had NO windows the air con was free. Don

We booked this holiday at the last minute.

Got there at 2am the room was very clean.

The location was fantastic with easy access into Bodrum.

Staff very friendly. Enjoyed it so much we have booked to go back in June 2007

The first thing we did after checking in was pay for air conditioning, I don't think I could have made it through the night without it.

I was pleased to find the room very clean and tidy as was the bathroom.
I have travelled to many different resorts and would say the maid service was one of the best i've come across (also one day we come back to find our beds decorated with petals and a bunch of flowers from the maid!).

There are three pools, the main pool had lots of children at it so we tried to stick to the other two....if we could get a space.

The Turkish night was a lot of fun, and worth the money, a good variety of food on the buffet and good quality.

The staff were very friendly considering how hard they work. I don't know when they get the chance to sleep!

I enjoyed this holiday so much that I am going back again this year, to the same hotel, but this time with friends.

Jasmin Beach Studios & Apartments

Spotlessly clean, towels and sheets changed 3 times during our 7 night stay, food and drink slightly more expensive than in resort but you pay for convenience when sunbathing, location ideal, away from any noise but only a short walk into the resort.

Staff all very friendly and help full, entertainement was put on every night but we did not go to any of these as we went into the resort each evening, so we cannot comment on the quality of the entertainment.

We arrived in the early hours of the morning to these appartments which were allocated on arrival. We were put in room 3 just beside the reception area and pool bar. The room was terrible, the bed was about two inches off the floor with horrible scratchy blankets.

It was basically like sleeping in a kitchen as there was a wall with cabinets sink etc on one side about three foot from the side of the bed.

We were on the ground floor which was like being in a basement the footpath ran above our window. We woke at 11am to the sound of the cleaners clattering about and it was so dark in our room we thought it was still the middle of the night.

The shower room was although obviously cleaned recently severly in need of repair, shower door hanging off, mouldy corners etc.

I was willing to put up with the room although it was depressing because we didnt pay very much for the holiday. My partner though could see it was upsetting me and went to complain at reception. We were moved within the hour to a room that was 2000% better, couldnt believe that it was the same complex.

Up near the top bar the balcony was addorned with flowers, the kitchen was seperate from the sleeping area and the bathroom was a world away from room 3. Also being away from the thumping pool bar music was such a relief.

All I can say is the Jasmine management are doing the rest of their accomodation a disservice by using these extremely poor rooms when they have such excellent ones on offer.

If you go and are unhappy please please complain as this will be the only way to enjoy your holiday. We spoke to other people who had moved from dark noisy rooms to better ones also.

After about 2 days we noticed that three young holiday makers had been put into room 3 and they seemed to stay there, it really is a shame as the room is like a cellar.

Once we had moved we had a great holiday the pools were fine no pool nazis like our Ibiza holiday the previous week with our children. Lilos, balls,... fun all allowed.

Would definatley return to the Jasmine and Gumbet as a whole, very friendly excellent value for money. We are bringing the children to Turkey next year for the first time going to try Marmaris this time.

The best self catering apartments we have ever stayed in. We will definatly go back hopefully later this year the staff can't do enough for you the whole place is spotless and all the staff smile the whole time the room was massive and really well kept by the cleaning lady to come back and have the beds made up with flowers on made the kids day. We only went for a week as we are moving house I was gutted to leave.

The Brochure does not do this hotel justice nor does the video. When we arrives the hotel look just out of the way but actually its in an amazing spot.

You can jump in a taxi just outside for about a pound and go into Gumbet centre or for a couple of quid go to Bodrum which I think is amazing.

You can also walk along the beach to the centre but I'm too lazy for this. The hotel is beautiful and the staff cannot do enough to help you.

There is always entertainment if you like staying close by but if not the nightlife in both resorts is plenty fulfilling.

Jasmin Beach Gumbet. Self Catering, friendly staff
food ok.

Fatma the cleaner brilliant left clean towels as our bath leaked.

Reception staff do not speak much English
ewan /the hairdreeser is brill at blow drying and the turkish bath is a must. Cheaper in town but location good
Turkish Night....good ok but food cold and nevers seconds as food cleared away as soon as possible. Great hotel but very disappointed on final day.

My 8 year old daughter was in bed for the last 3 days of the holiday with an ear infection (had to get tablets for the pain) and we were unable to book the room for the rest of the day. Check out was at 12 noon and we were getting picked up by coach at 11.30pm.

Explained to reception and they were unable to help

We found the jasmine to be spotlessly clean,the room was cleaned each day by Pinar who did a great job.

Only ate once in hotel not too impressed.

The location was great only a short walk to the centre where most of the restaurants are and right on the beach,which although not brilliant was cooler and quieter than hotel pools.

The staff were helpful and friendly and airtours rep Hazel was also helpful,we booked ths happy bubbles scuba dive through her, the best thing we did , great day out.

Wasnt impressed by entertainment but we went out each night so didnt matter.

We have booked up again for next august and cant wait, it was our first time to Turkey, but it will not be our last.
