El Vino Hotel & Suites

I have stayed in this hotel during winter to celebrate NYE. Location is very good as it is close to city but also away from the noise. The outfit of the hotel really nice with a spacious pool and garden to spend time under the trees while enjoying free offered mandarin fruits. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall all of our expectations were met.

The lemonade offered during breakfast was not natural it can be developed. Also the room type was stated as balcony however we came to know that it was a french balcony - which is simply a narrow line with no usage. But as it was cold outside during winter, it didn't bother us.

This is a well run, comfortable, clean and stunningly beautiful hotel, hidden away from the busy streets of Bodrum. Our room was spacious, and the bed very comfy. The lush flowers, trees and foliage outside our little balcony made us think of the tropics! On the one day of forecast rain, 2 umbrellas just appeared in the room. There were lots of nice little touches like this. The roof top pool and, even higher up, the restaurant, were great locations for relaxing and viewing the whole town right to the sea and the castle. The hotel organised a massage for me and a splendid boat trip for us both which , at this time of the year, was just for us! Bodrum itself is an easy walk down to the Quay and back up to the Hotel. We think that this time of year was the best, as the sun is still very warm but the crowds have abated.

The cats! But they are everywhere you go in Turkey; the cafes, the beaches, restaurants and are allowed to roam wherever. We are not fond! As it is built into the hill, the whole of El Vino is accessed by steps and we were fine with that, but it would definitely not work if you have mobility issues. We think this should have been flagged up more at booking.

The place is over-the-top charming and unique!!! The breakfast was excellent...huge variety of choices, both traditional and ethnic.The rooms were delightful...again, unique and very comfortable. I would say the only drawback...minor in my case....is its location which is not in the town center but slightly distant...so that walking "to town" is about 15 minutes.

Food was wonderful. We ate in the hotel restaurant, on the rooftop. This was magical on a warm evening. Breakfast buffets were fantastic with a wide choice and lots of variety. There seemed something special every day.

Some rooms would have benefited if the garden had been trimmed back a little.

The surroundings are so green and peaceful. The different pool and lounge areas are amazing, breakfast is incredible and has everything you can imagine with baked surprises each day. The views are amazing, the restaurant is one of the best in bodrum, decor is great all the staff are so helpful and friendly. Location is great. Would love to go back

We liked everything.
