Having used this site to decide where to stay we were not disappointed!!

Arriving at the hotel as dawn broke our first response was "WOW".

The main reception is in a huge glass roofed building which also houses the bar, guest relations (Frances is very friendly and helpful) and jewellery shop.

The food was excellent. The main buffet restaurant provided multiple choices at each meal with dishes being cooked or carved especially for you.

The three a la carte restaurants were excellent too with our favourite being the Italian. Everything about this restaurant was brilliant, food service and location (looking at to sea at the beachside). The Turkish restaurant was very authentic, you easily forgot that you were in a large complex!

If you are staying here a big tip is that the a la carte restaurants are also open at lunch - we only discovered that towards the end of our holiday! Although you need to book for the evenings, there is no need to do this for lunch.

The rooms are set out in small buildings across the complex with vines and flowers growing over them. The scent in the eving as you walked back to your room was lovely. The gardeners worked extremely hard and immediately replaced any flowers that started to look tired!

The rooms were spotless. They has brand new carpets, HUGE wardrobes (this is our 4th trip to turkey and I have never had so much storage!!)Bathrooms were also spotless and big with the tv/radio being piped into the bathroom! Having a minibar stocked with soft drinks (4 bottles), water (2litre bottle) and beer (2 bottles) was an added bonus and include in the AI! We were told that you could request "all beer" in the minibar via guest relations but we never bothered.

We were unable to fault the hotel with the exception of a grumpy waitress on one occasion and having to request more shower gel. To be fair though the waitress was back to being charming the following day (we all have off days) and the shower gel was refilled within an hour!

The entertainments team were excellent - very friendly without being pushy.

Brits are in the minority within the hotel but this was not a problem. Infact virtually everyone spoke English - staff and guests alike!

We had a great holiday and are likely to go back again.

This truly is a 5* hotel. The appearence of the hotel, location, staff (i could go on).

having stayed in good quality hotels before I only hoped that this hotel met with my expectations. And it more than surpassed them. And it was so much cheaper than the other hotels we have stayed in, but it was far superior. In every respect.

Everthing about the Hotel is fantastic.

People on other review sites have made a comment or two about not having english food at this hotel, I/we don't know about you but if you want english food then stay at home.....

The food quality is amazing in the buffet or in the a la carte restaurants (turkish was our fav)and the staff bend over backwards to help or assist you in any way they can.
The pool is huge and there is plenty of space, the beach is long and narrow, sea is a bit chilly but once you get in its fine, watersports in abundance from waterski, banana boat,kayak, sailing, windsurfing. There is even a mini aqua park on the beach with its own mini pool.
4 tennis courts, beach volleyball, mini football, aqua aerobics, dancing, good god how do you find time for anything else. And it is all included in the price, no extra charge.

I only hope that others who visit will enjoy this hotel as much as we did.

Well what can I say? This hotel is absolutely fabulous! me and my family (sister, mother and father) went to the WoW Bodrum Resort last year in August and was very impressed with it. When it says all inclusive unlike many other hotels it actually means it. Absolutely everything was all inclusive.

There was a wide range of spectacular food. I would not normally try new food as I am quite fussy but I thought I might as well have done while I was there.

To my surprise all the food I tasted was absolutely fantastic.

The activites were all great and fun to do. I loved everything on the beach all the watersports etc were great. The watersport team staff were fabolous they were really kind and helpful and made my holiday more enjoyable.

I would absolutely love to go back to this hotel as it was amazing. hotel entertainment is usually not that good. Therefore I was shocked at how fantastic the entertainment actually was. My favourite night time entertainment was when there was like this competition sort of thing and they done all funny things like the Titanic and other skits. It was really funny and had me laughing all the way through.

I hope in the future I do go back and I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Me and my boyfriend had the best holiday ever when we stayed here!

The hotel was so clean and tidy and the staff were so helpful.

The mini bar in our room was stocked up everyday and they were always pleased to swap the fizzy drinks for beer for my boyfriend. The rooms were so lovely set in nice gardens and were so well lit in the evenings.

The pool was lovely and refreshing and the bars couldn't have been better.

The whole hotel was set in such lovely surroundings and the beach was brilliant to relax on and especially the jetty with the massive cushions!

We went on a jet ski, a boat trip, a canoe, para sailing etc and the staff were really friendly.

Everybody told us that the hotel was set on the top of a very big steep hill but this was a bit of a lie, I am not a very fit person and it wasn't too steep for me especially in the heat!!

We went on a jeep safari trip which I would definitely advise. We drove our own, it was so much fun. We would recommend walking into the centre to book it as it's cheaper.

The nightlife was fantastic, so many yummy places to eat, we ate out most nights as we were spoilt for choice. This was not because the hotel food was bad, because it wasn't it was lovely, we just enjoyed eating out.

We spent most nights in a bar called Uncle Festers. The staff were so funny and friendly.

If you only do 1 thing on your holiday please make sure you go to see the ' dream girls' it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Its not much too buy a ticket, you get a good meal a GREAT show and drinks are not expensive.

Overall we had a brilliant time and will definitely be returning again next year. ENJOY!

We had a great holiday here where nearly everything is ncluded in the all inclusive, Champagne, imported drinks, hair cuts, watersports etc.

The hotel is big but spread over a large area, there were always plenty of sunbeds around the pool and on the beach.

You do not have to bring towels for the pool as htey are provided, they also supply shampoo, soap and shower gel in the rooms .

There is a main buffett restaurant and 3 a la carte, Italian, Turkish and Mediterranean. You have to pre book the a la caret restuarants on the day between 9am and 3pm at guest relations. We ate in all the restaurants, the buffet had a huge choice including a diabetic corner and diet corner! There was afternoon tea and cakes/cookies at the pool bar every day at 5.30pm. Our favourite restaurant was the italian.

There are several bars, pool, beach, lobby, disco bar, the main bar (lobby) is open 24hrs and serves the main cocktails, champagne and has a terrace with wonderful views over to Gumbet bay.

The main pool is huge with plenty of room for swimming, although we found the water a little cold.
There is also a childrens pool, relax pool and aqua park pool with 2 huge slides. Water sports are availabl on the beach. There is also a mini club for 4-12yrs old. Younger children can go and play with the toys etc with there parents. Gameland is where you will find table tennis, internet cafe (free) snooker and a large tv.

There is a indoor pool at the health centre which a;lso has a gym, squash court, sauna, turkish bath
and vitamin bar. There is a doctor on site ( fee payable) should you need one.

The hotel has a market place shop selling most things (ALL THE PRICES ARE IN EURO'S AS MANY GUESTS ARE GERMAN/DUTCH) and a on site photographer who took some lovely photo's of our daughter.

The food is excellent and so much to choose from the different restaurants. My husband is a very plain eater but he even found what he liked and for him to say book again next year is a complement in itself! I have never heard him say that about any previous holidays we have had and couldn't wait to phone our friends up to tell them!!

Rooms cleaned daily, mini fridge in rooms. Free safe in rooms.

Free facilities excellent as well as others offered at excellent rates. Ladies you will love these.

Staff very helpful and pleasant cannot praise enough. The work long hours but always smiling.

Entertainers work so hard to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

Just came back a week ago from this hotel and can honestly say that this is an excellent hotel.

Food - Buffet restaurant open for Breakfast, lunch and dinner, the variety and quality of food every mealtime was excellent and as we were there for 2 weeks mealtimes didn't get boring.
Also ate in the 3 speciality restaurants which were really good too.
Hotel also had teatime at 5.30, Midnight snack at midnight and late snack from 1-5am (no chance of starving in this hotel)

Cleanliness - Hotel was very clean and there were always cleaners or gardeners around working

Staff - Were very friendly always smiling and saying hello.

Entertainment - Now I'm not normally one for hotel entertainment as I do find it a bit cheesy at times BUT I can honestly that the few shows I did watch were really entertaining, especially their Version of Sister Act and the International Dance Competition.

Activities - The range of free activities included was impressive, Inc Waterskiing, Wakeboarding, windsurfing sailing, canoeing, catamaran and banana. I also had loads of tennis lessons and went mountain biking (both instructors had the patience of saints) there were loads of other activities that I've left off as I did get the time to try them.

Location - About 10-15 minute walk to Gumbet.
Hotel has it's own beach with free towels and more then enough sunloungers to go around, also noticed that they did have security on the beach keeping non hotel guests out which really gives you piece of mind.


This was my first trip to turkey and I really liked it so will coming back and if I go to Gumbet I will definitely be staying at WOW resort
