I’m leaving it a bit late this season, but next April/ May I think I am going to have to visit both resorts in one long weekend to compare. My suspicion that at its best Caresse will be far and away the best on its good days, but recognising that the hotel has more than occasional off days the Edition is a funky alternative some of the time.

All I can say for sure is if you’re in Bodrum and you think you might stay at Nikki Beach for some luxury vibes and good times instead of a Marriott hotel: Don’t.
