Rixos Premium Bodrum

We stayed for two weeks in one of the older rooms which I would not recommend for a two week stay. Biggest issue was with the music from the bar every night was extremely loud - when we spoke to reception they told us it wasn't every night and that no one had complained in a while (we complained that was the whole issue and it was every night - we had a toddler and this caused real issues for us but nothing was done to accommodate us). Highlights: Adult Activities/baby facilities and activities /friendly and hardworking staff/buggy service Lowlights: music from the bar, ordering drinks during meal times, different type of yoga should be offered (yoga available every day but same style so would be nice to have a different type).

Thank you for welcoming us to your hotel and the Rixos group. My stay was amazing from the friendly staff, the set up via the whatsapp group, the food, drinks and scenary was amazing. I honestly cannot fault anything with regards to my stay and I will definitely be back next year.

Been staying at the Rixos twice a year since 2018 and didn’t think it could be better. The last time we were there was 2020 and the whole place has had an amazing make over, with a new concept which has worked wonders. The Staff are so professional and can’t do enough for you, after a couple of days they knew our drinks and little habits, eg the restaurant staff knew I didn’t eat breakfast but liked 2 lattes! The waiter on the beach knew I liked coffee and after a couple of days, he just supplied it. I loved the ‘no sell’ concept where you aren’t bothered by people selling boat trips, spas and hairdressing! If you wanted to join into activities, it was up to you! The new lobby bar was lovely and the selection of drinks plentiful. The coffee bar served amazing coffees with a fabulous selection of cakes and ice creams. You could even have chocolates (yummy). The selection in the main restaurant was brilliant, for meat eaters (which my Husband is) you could select your meat raw and tell them how you wanted it cooked. The salad bar had everything and always looked delicious and the deserts were so tantalisingly good it was hard to say no (5lb excess baggage on the hips). The food served in the Peoples Restaurant was not only delicious, but looked like something out of a magazine, beautifully presented and tasty. L’olivio Italian a la carte was a beautiful setting and the service by Adem and the staff was second to none, I left the food choices to Adem and everything served to us was delicious and at times looked too good to eat. We tried the Tapenyaki Asian Restaurant which was fresh sushi, sushemi, noodles and rice amongst others, with a very entertaining chef who was doing tricks with raw eggs and egg yolks, very entertaining and very tasty.

Due to our flight being cancelled, we arrived to the accommodation earlier than expected. At around 4 am EST time on the first day of our trip. We were asked to pay €300 for early check in. Easily to say we rejected the offer and decided to wait in the lobby. At around 5 am, we received the room key. When trying to enjoy our holiday, we quickly became disappointed as some issues could not be forgotten. The food, lack of diversity, nor being fresh. As we were there only for 5 nights, we were able to get only one booking at a restaurant of our choice. Why? I am on a holiday and I want to use all facilities. Disappointing! The show, a good word to describe it is disappointing. Only 1hr 30? No, thank you! What else? Nothing ! The beach bungalows - are those only for the people with the villas? What about the rest of us who paid thousands of euros? Can we be on the beach or is only for those with the villas…again, very difficult to understand the reason of your changes. Can’t describe enough the services, the dirty beach, and other small things which built up and created a giant of reasons of why I won’t return to your hotel, although this has been the fourth time.

The Hotel was above and beyond all our expectations. From the moment we arrived until our departure we received the most kind, courteous and professional service from everyone at Rixos Premium. All the team are an absolute credit. Our stay with you was perfect and we'd like to thankyou all for that.
