arrived at 7pm turkish time, was checked in very quickly by reception staff. set in lovely gardens. the complex its self was very clean, unfortunately we had a maid who would just sweep the floor and make the beds, and just change towels and linen according to the book, so overall maid not so good, but saying that other people had a good cleaner we were unforunate.

didnt try the food cos of bad reports before we went, but talked to people who did, and they were very ill with d and v.

i did e-mail the complex before we arrived to request a quiet room away from the noise of the pool and main bar area, so glad we did, the noise is horrendous,if you are between 18 and 30 no problem, the main bar is open until 3,4,5 in the morning pity the people who are near this.

the location of the complex is excellent, just get on the dolmus and u can go anywhere u like, we visited camel beach, icemeler in bodrum, went on a boat trip, had a turkish bath which was divine.

there is a problem with stray dogs, they are everywhere, dont feed them and u are ok, keep away from the rose sellers they are a pain.

best places to eat are windy bay, colombia and mistrals, u get a good steak meal, and a free bottle of wine which is very nice not like vinegar.

unfortunately turkey is not as cheap as it use to be, the turks are now jumping on the band wagon and charging what ever they like, which is a shame, turkey is a beautiful place, but it is very dear now.

we found a few quiet bars away from bar street,where a efes was 3 lira good value its called the millennium bar, try it u will feel most welcome from jay jay and the gang. bar street itself is very noisey.


if you are self catering like we was, go to bodrum fruit and veg market, its amazing what u can pick up its very cheap.

staff ok on the whole, but if u want a drink and your not young blonde female be prepared to wait for a drink in the bars, this wasnt a problem to me and my family, we just sat back and waited and laughed at the bar staff in the complex, it was funny., young girls get served first.

must mention the mattresses they are very hard, i asked for a softer mattress and got one within an hour, so its worth mentioning, it was like sleeping on a slab, but as i say was changed.


we didnt try the kids club, cos there was so much going on outside the complex, so i will not commnet.

did not stay in the complex for entertainment because there was so much going on outside, but saying that i beleive the the prices in the bars in the complex was very dear, and stay away from the supermarket in the complex the prices are very dear.


there was not much entertainment in the bars as such but we were happy with wot was on offer.


this sounds like a really negavtive review, butit is not, we had a great time in gumbet, and the turkish pple are lovely, but i am typing this, the way that is was, warts and all

We arrived at the Jasmin hotel at around 7.30 in the morning. We had a fast check in and before we knew it we were in our room number G305 with a view of 1 of the 3 pools.

The staff were very friendly and would do anything for you, our daughter is very shy and they made a special effort to make her welcome athough she struggled to understand the language.

For eating out we would recommend the windy bay, mistral, tempo, the parrot. The hotel itself is about 5 mins from the shingle beach which was poor, but the pools in the hotel made up for the beach but were very cold despite the weather being 35 to 40 degrees.

Entertainment in the hotel was good you should definately go to the barbeque night which is worth 10 pounds. Look out for the waiters Volkan and Apo our daughter loved them.

Transport into Bodrum - buses run very regular from outside the hotel they are orange and very cheap.

Never been to Turkey before. Overall we really enjoyed fun for families and singles alike.

The Jasmin is like home to us, we were there 1st two weeks in June and 1st two weeks in July. It is definately the best place I have ever been, check in is instant, thanks to Zeki and Soner, love you guys mwahhh. Rooms are more than adequate and very clean, plenty of fresh linen and towels. Bar staff are exceptional, Mehmet, Boni, Emre and the rest are just brilliant, also the Restaurant staff, Volkan and Apo, we love you, seni seviyorum. The Moods Cafe is a quieter place to drink and eat if you want to relax a little more, all in all, Fantastic xxx

the hotel was immaculate, the hotel food was lovely location was amazing the beach is two seconds away, and night life was ten minute walk away. the entertainment was really good we had belly dancers, break dancers who where so good.i would definatley visit this hotel again as im goin back in septemer.

I went here with my Nan, Mum and sister and can confidently say that we were all impressed. The apartment itself was spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly and liked to have a laugh, the receptionists in particular were very helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The food in the main bar was great although I did find the pasta was a little over cooked. Location wise you are just accross the road from the beach and a 10 minute walk to Gumbet bar street and shops. Busses stopped every few minutes outside the hotel for going into Bodrum but taxi's don't cost much more if you split the cost. Over all this hotel was fantastic and I have already looked at how much it will cost for me to return next year!

We stayed september/October 07 and we loved this apartment so much.

The cleanliness was First Class. The cleaners were fabulous and you always felt very comfortable and welcome as the staff were very friendly.

I didnt eat in the restaurant but my family did once or twice and they loved it.

The entertainment was great for all ages from karaoke to snake charmers, BBQ'S and dancers. There were three pools all very clean and not too crowded and also a computer room with iternet which charge but at very low cost.

On the premises you have turkish mud baths and hairdressers ect and gumbet town and Bodrum was near by but would need to take a bus or taxi.

The saturday market is worth going to as its even cheaper than the shops even though the shops are extremely cheap. In gumbet or Bodrum its better to book day trips such as boat trips, market and swimming with dolphins than booking with the reps.

I would definately recommend the boat trip as you get to go to several places such as caves, camel beaches and swimming in the sea.

I recommend this holiday to people of all ages!!!! its the best!!! P.S try out the turkish mud bath; Its devine!!!!!

I went away with my boyfriend and two friends to turkey i have never been before but will definatly be back again. The studios we stayed in werw lovely and spacious and very clean, our maid would clen up all our mess and even fold our clothes. We only ate in the hotel once and i would suggest not to have a sunday lunch. the hotel location was brilliant right on the beach five mins from the centre only two pound in the taxi. The hotel staff were excellent especially ems the barman so friendly, and the receptionist brought our keys out to us every night even changed his shift to say goodbye to us. We didn't stay in the hotel at night, but i think the entertainment was really good of what i saw. i can honestly say i will be back again sometime in the near future.

These apartments were very clean and cleaned on a regular basis, staff were very friendly and our maid even done our dishes.

I would not recommend eating in the apartments as the food is not great at all, we did complain to our rep.

Myself and three friends stayed in jasmin beach we opted self catering.

The food from the hotel is not recomended very poor be careful where you eat out if you find a particular place you like stick to it to be safe because I was ill after the second night for the rest of the week.

The cleanliness of the place was good the maid was lovely she left liffle notes and scattered flowers over the beds.

The location I thought was perfect 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes away from the night life. (which was amazing)

The hotel staff were quite cheeky they dont give you your change they put it in there tip box and they can be quite rude. Not all of them some of them.

We also found because we didnt take part in any of the hotels entertainment the organiser became funny with us.
