My husband and I have literally just arrived home after our 1 week stay at Rixos premium Bodrum. We had an amazing week away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life in London. Our holiday needs were about unwinding, relaxation and comfort and this place delivered superbly on these three aspects. The environment is gorgeous, a beautiful view set in grounds full of greenery and spectacular olive trees everywhere. There is the pretty beach, a beautiful pool that looks like a lake and a cold but very much needed pool for adults only. We loved the cold pool, especially on those hot days. Thank you to Hussein for all his hard work, running backwards and forth to the bar to keep us well hydrated. Hussein was always smiling, even when rushed off his feet in the hot weather. He checked in on us all the time and even bought us our usual drinks y the pool before we asked. Keep safe Hussein and I hope you had a lovely birthday today. The room (deluxe sea view) was spacious and comfortable, albeit a little old fashioned in comparison to the rest of the hotel. Nonetheless, we were never in our room apart from to shower and sleep. There are golf buggy's to take you to and from your room, so don’t worry if your room seems far from the amenities; it’s easy to get around and fun too. The drivers are so friendly and helpful which was a bonus! The restaurant is well planned out, with enough space, food and choice for everyone. The quality of the food was really good, we never had a bad meal. Obviously, you will be in Turkey, so expect Turkish food. If you want a full English breakfast, you will not get one here; but in my opinion that’s a good thing! Our meal times were made extra special by our waiter Mehmet in the Turquoise restaurant. His social, communication and hospitality skills were second to none. His commitment to his job and his customers made you feel like you were in a high end restaurant and as though you were the only people he was waiting on during meal times. He treated everyone in his seating area as VIPs and spent time getting to know you. His English was superb and his manner was professional and polite, with charm and humour too. RIXOS, please look after Mehmet, you are lucky to have him in your team. Team sums up the staff at this hotel; each and every person works extremely hard to maintain the standard of this place. From arrival to departure, we admired the efforts of all staff but I must give a special shoutout to the gardeners who work so hard to maintain the beautiful grounds. Peoples restaurant is also lovely; serving food from a menu and with a view to admire of the beach. Thank you Hamza for making our meal here so lovely. As well as a buggy service around the hotel, you also have a holiday assistant who you can contact throughout your holiday for information, advice and help with anything. They will set you up with a WhatsApp group between you and them and the team answer your queries within minutes. A really m
