Thanks for the detailed review [MENTION=209030]starflyergold[/MENTION]. Last time I went to Bodrum I saw this property and wondered if it was a good choice or not.
Regarding this statement:
Overall this is a nice hotel (second best in Bodrum after the Mandarin Oriental) but it did not feel like an Accor hotel in that there was virtually no loyalty recognition.
Given the nature of your review and the pictures, and based on my own stay at Bodrum EDITION a few months ago, I am quite sure Rixos is not the second best hotel in Bodrum. We had a fantastic stay at EDITION as you can read in my review here.

We may excuse Rixos for not giving much in terms of Accor Plat benefits because they are not familiar with Accor yet, but EDITION is equally new in Marriott and it did not prevent them from wowing us with a superb room upgrade, not a view of a wall like you had at the beginning
Also Caresse (Luxury Collection) is getting rave reviews so I am not even sure Rixos is top 3. Hyatt is about to open a new hotel in Yalikavak and so is Curio (Hilton) so if Rixos does not pick up their game they will be left in the dust. I certainly won't rush to Rixos given your review.
