Hotel Samara

Not a great experience, 😞 the entertainer team was poor , for five star hotel it could be better. The beach was amazing and the pool area was nice

I stayed at the hotel with friends from 11th July to 18th July. Staff were incredible and went that extra mile to make our stay pleasant. A big thank you to the manager Catherina in welcoming us, as my friends have stayed before and a thank you to Gozun who welcomed us with laughter and a smile. I also was to say a thank you to Aysu for her warmth, smile asking us how our day is going and for being very relatable to myself and my friends.

This was our third stay at the Samara Hotel in Bodrum, and once again it was absolutely fantastic. One of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is the wonderful team — they make it so easy to slip straight into holiday mode. The hotel’s location is ideal: peaceful and tucked away from the busy areas, yet with a shuttle running every 20 minutes into central Bodrum. The food was delicious and fresh, just as we’ve come to expect, and the Turkish à la carte restaurant was a real highlight. There are a few people who always make our stay feel extra special: Catharina, the front office manager, greets us so warmly every time and always shares genuinely helpful tips that make our stay even smoother. Aysu from guest relations is such a breath of fresh air — always smiling, always helpful. She was wonderful on our last visit and just as fantastic this time. She’s a real asset to the hotel. Oguz, who we met both at the Turkish à la carte restaurant and the pool bar, brings so much positive energy. You can’t help but smile when he’s around. From the entertainment team, Diyora always made a friendly effort to check in with us. She was kind and courteous, even when we weren’t joining the late‑night activities. I also have to mention the massage team — they’re consistently excellent. The Bali massage fits perfectly with the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel, and Ibrahim always makes sure we’re looked after and paired with our preferred therapist. All in all, we’ll definitely be returning, and I’m already looking forward to our next stay.

Most amazing location, even more amazing people, drinks are on tap they are always making sure you are entertained, with different games and sports. Basri always made sure you had fun !!!

We stayed at Samara Hotel Bodrum in August 2025 as a family (2 adults and 1 child), and we had a wonderful holiday. This resort is a fantastic choice for families looking for relaxation, entertainment, and quality service. One of the biggest advantages of the hotel is its great location, especially being close to Candyland Water Park, which is definitely worth visiting if you’re staying in the area. The hotel offers excellent swimming pools for all ages. There is a dedicated children’s pool with small slides and plenty of sun loungers nearby, allowing parents to comfortably relax while keeping an eye on their little ones. For adults, we loved spending time at the main pool, where it was easy to cool off before stopping by the pool bar for a refreshing cocktail. There is also an adults-only pool, which is a fantastic idea for guests looking for a quieter atmosphere away from the excitement of the family areas. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, making them perfect for a family stay. The food was delicious throughout our holiday. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes every day, with plenty of choices for both adults and children. Another great convenience was the shuttle service provided by the hotel, making it easy to visit Bodrum city center whenever we wanted. The evening entertainment was enjoyable every night, with live music, performances, and shows that kept both adults and children entertained. The beach is large, clean, and very well organized. Families will appreciate the Kids Club area located near the beach, while adults can enjoy a wide range of water activities including jet skiing, water sports, and boat excursions. One of the highlights of our holiday was the boat trip organized through the hotel. Spending the day at sea with our child was an unforgettable experience. The crystal-clear water was beautiful, lunch and drinks were included on board, and the entire excursion was perfectly organized. It became one of our favorite memories of the trip. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Samara Hotel Bodrum. The friendly atmosphere, excellent facilities, delicious food, beautiful beach, and family-oriented services made this holiday truly memorable. We highly recommend this hotel to families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in Bodrum. We would be delighted to return in the future. Thank you to the entire Samara Hotel team for such a wonderful experience!
