Selectum Collection Bodrum (Ex. Kairaba Bodrum Imperial)

Definitely recommend this resort . Food is excellent and place is very nice with a lot of greenery and beautiful gardens. Maybe for young couples that want to go out will be a bit difficult because the resort is far away from the centre ,but for families with children is great . Staff is friendly but need to improve English. Anyway we enjoyed our stay and will visit it again.

Please Read before you go to this hotel. This is not a 5 star hotel. More like a 2 star max 3 star hotel. The rooms are nice with balcony but everything is out of place. E.G tv is not in the centre of the mirror. This is minor but it does play a role. The bidet in the toilet is not up with the ages. It sprays directly on your legs instead of your butt. There are no bathrobes in the room that is false. There is no dental kit in rooms, you don’t get any body wash, or shampoo, you only get hand soap. The rooms are not cleaned daily. And if they are cleaned they are not clean. the staff does the bed, and put pillow in their place but that is it. Nothing gets cleaned. Ashtrays on balconies don’t get emptied. Please refer to pictures i will post everything, i want you guys to know exactly what you’re coming into. I’m here with my friends and in total we have 4 rooms, paid just over £900 each for 6 days. Everybody has the same issue. We have addressed this to reception but unfortunately they say ‘yes no problem, sorry sir we will fix it’ or that they will send maintenance. Nothing gets done here. I had an issue in my room where the connecting door between two rooms was unlocked. So anybody could walk into my room any time. Huge security issue. Took them 4 days to lock it, and that was after me going to the reception frustrated. Food in the hotel, honestly it makes me sad. I was excited for traditional Turkish/Greek food. I couldn’t be more disappointed. Every day you get the same meal. I mean no disrespect but it wasn’t enjoyable. Watery, meat was cheap and tasteless. Beef burgers tasted and looked like flipflops. They smelled like dog food. Chips are amazing and so is the soup. Moussaka basic and flavourless, potatoes, rice and stuff also basic and tasteless and overcooked. You have to taste it in order to understand how bad it is. Most days it was just plain rice and bread for me. Also you cannot order food because of the network/sim issue. Drinks at this hotel, Lipton ice tea is amazing. Water is great. Fake Mirinda and sprite are okay. And they have this dark coloured drink that they call pepsi… It is labeled as pepsi as well. But it tastes like lemon and something drink with a hint of Lidl cola that has gone bad and with an aftertaste of what sweaty socks smell like. It is very hard to describe you have to try it to understand. Our holiday agent person warned us about homemade drinks and I think this is what they meant. The entire resort smells of sewage. I don’t know if that is the fertiliser they use for the plants or if its a bad sewage system or what but all you smell is sewage almost everywhere. Its a fine but distinct scent throughout the hotel resort. Spa is overpriced but if they offer you a discount which they will. Bear in mind that they can do half of that price. As some days they have 50% off. You’re going to get scammed either way but depends on how much. Me and my friends got stomach problems the first two days. Probably because of the Pepsi…. Reception taxis, overpriced. We went as a large group and needed 2 taxis. They told us they can only do 2 taxis as they don’t have 1 big one. And one day we saw a big taxi dropping some people off. We asked the driver to take us and the hotel staff kicked him out. He stopped down the road and charged us half what we paid earlier. I think that the hotel gets some profit from the taxis as well thats why they want you to use their standard taxis. Please do not be fooled by their 5 star rating. They need to get their stars removed. I have complained multiple times at the reception and over the phone to the reception. Nothing has changed. As a cherry on top. I asked the 24/7 bar at the reception where the toilet is. They sent me upstairs. I got lost and wondered a bit before I found the toilet. I was then screamed at by some hotel staff. Did not enjoy my stay here. Avoid at all costs.
