What was good and what was bad?
Good
- Superb property for sea view, quiet atmosphere, architecture , design and gardens.
- Love the room
- Very attentive and proactive service (including through the app and Whatsapp, with attentive and fast service). It is very impressive to see the number of staff but also their level of training, which allows a high quality service. Bell boy taking care of the rent-a-car in a breeze.
- Large choice of quality restaurants (prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and price of the property).
- Breakfast and dining were really delicious (Mediterranean influence, served in a friendly atmosphere, large choice of high quality products for breakfast, 4 different restaurants in addition to breakfast restaurant).
- The resort is designed in such a way that it feels like you are in a chic and a charming seaside village clinging to the mountain.
- The hotel is large, has multiple spaces (restaurants, experience room, fitness room), so you can stay for several days without feeling like you're staying at the same place.
- Great and large sports pool. 3 private beaches.
- Although the hotel was busy, we never felt like we were in a crowded hotel or experience a degradation in service.
- Nature is omnipresent, the calm is absolute, and the scents of Mediterranean plants delight the senses
- An electric buggy cart service is available for free for those who do not prefer to walk (we only used this service for luggage).
- The size of the resort is really impressive: it takes more than an hour to walk around.
- The hotel offers an activity program (yoga, walks). But I must confess that we tested none
Bad
- Nothing
Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Absolutely.
The hotel is indeed not cheap, but definitely worth it.
Service is simply excellent (smiling, attentive and proactive on the part of all the staff).
The place is magical in its beauty and very relaxing.
Note that it takes about an hour by car from Bodrum airport, via a mountain road. We had first planned to visit Bodrum, but as Turkish Airlines brought forward our originally scheduled 1.30am flight by 3 hours, we preferred to enjoy the Six Senses until the evening, rather than spend nearly 2 hours driving to Bodrum, and another hour driving back to the airport.
