"We arrived in Bodrum after 5 days in Istanbul, where we had been attending several events for an engagement. I was just getting over a nasty cold and I was in bad shape when I got there! I cannot express how grateful I am to the entire staff who made my stay incredible! They went above and beyond- picking up medicine for me from the pharmacy, recommending amazing restaurants, and even located my boyfriend's phone when he left it in a taxi! The spa is fantastic, I spent plenty of time there and I was thrilled with every treatment I had- the masseuses and estheticians were very skilled. Their main restaurant is excellent, we dined there many times. Since it was winter, many places were closed and even at the resort not all of restaurants were open, so I would love to return in the summer. I really loved our room- we stayed in a Marina suite that had breathtaking ocean views! I will definitely be back!"

"Caresse Resort & Spa in Bodrum is a gorgeous hotel with fully kitted out, modern rooms, amenities and fantastic views! It is secluded, quiet and peaceful with its own restaurants, private beach and beach deck. Breakfast was included and they always put out a beautiful spreads of food. The ocean water is beautifully blue and we were lucky to have great weather during our stay. The reception staff were great and always helpful and we had 2 wonderfully friendly restaurant and bar staff who were always happy to see us. We ate at the Buddha Bar and the food was phenomenal! This hotel is the perfect holiday reprieve."

"So the Caresse is a fantastic hotel. I cannot say enough good things about it. I rarely rave about ANYTHING, but this hotel gets that. The building itself is lovely, the rooms (we had a premium king) spacious and well-appointed, the bed soft and comfortable, great high quality sheets. The pillows not to my liking, but others may enjoy the soft down type of pillow. The pool is beautiful, and the “beach” is nice enough. The service borders on the ridiculous. Everyone is welcoming and pleasant without being obsequious. The front desk staff was great, the breakfast was spectacular (much unlike what some other reviewers have said - see my pics of the endless breakfast spread, which didn’t include the à la carte items you could order in addition), and everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. Nothing fraying around the edges here. The location is the only minor inconvenience; it is located across the bay from Bodrum town, a 400TL cab ride away. Overall, I rate this hotel as excellent. Please discount the odd 1 and 2 star reviews - these people had something weird going on. This hotel is the best in town. If you want luxury and pampering, go there."

"Amazing hotel - chose this hotel to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary - room 306 sea view was perfect with a bottle of wine and Turkish delights waiting for us. The staff are amazing and so tentative - always smiling and asking if there is anything they can do. Breakfast has a good selection of food from fresh fruits, juices and hot made to order eggs. Buddha bar food and staff again were welcoming and excellent. Spa facilities are superb with kale and female facilities and the whole hotel is kept very clean."
