It was the best holiday in a long while. The hotal was so clean and just really was a peasure to stay in.
The entertainment was great, we have great memories of times with the staff, especially goran.
Would love to come back.

The apartment was clean and basic towels were big and fluffy bed linen also clean, the hairdryer in the bathroom was not much good over heats and cuts out very quickly.
There are three pools in all the main one being were the restaurant and bar is and can get quite noisy, there is a smaller pool by the top bar with lovely views.
Staff are all very friendly.
All in all a good place would go back, just beware when you ask for the bill make sure you check it, we had to point out a few times about over charging.

We had a very quick check in which is very helpful after travelling.We were took to our room 901 right behind the main pool bar.It seemed quiet noisy by people passing to use the pool and not much privacy.We asked for a room move but were asked to give it a try, which we agreed.In the morning though I was straight to reception to ask to be moved as the noise from the bar went on to the early hours not good if you want to rest and have two children.They had no problem moving us into a quiter room which was lovely close by the turkish bath .
This is a must on your first couple of days really relaxing. The barbers is also great for a shave and braiding hair would not really recommend a blow dry though.
We stayed at the main bar.Which was clean and the staff were lovely and really love children.They all tried there best to understand you and did a great job.
The childrens club was great although my daughter only went the last week she loved it but as we was with my travel had to pay to use first choice one but still the holiday was alot more expensive with first choice so it still cost us less.
We ate snacks at the main bar of a day which were lovely and also they done a full english breakfast for a pound so take pound coins with you as it works out a bit more if you pay in lira still a great breakfast though. We ate one time at the restaurant of a night and there steak isnt a patch on minstral which is just on the beach front.Other nice food places are windy bay and columbia.
To be honest I wouldnt reconmend eating there of a night. We had a great night at the Turkish night at the hotel food was lovely and entertainment great.But that was the only entertainment on during the week apart from being entertained by the bar boys.
The shop is very expensive so get on a dolmus to migros a big cheaper super market.Also watch the price of the photo mans clocks etc they are cheaper on bar street.
The Jasmin was a great place to stay and I will be returning next year.

Had one breakfast in Jasmin not impressed. Had most meals in calypso bar next door. Run by Paul and Kath we were made very welcome and food was superb. Crazy Joe and Arron are brilliant and made our holiday.
Main pool noisy so spent most time on beach. Good beach but have to pay for sun beds. Avoid Sandy

The cleanliness I found to be fair and had our bedding cleaned every 3rd day. On our last day our cleaner did a flower arrangement with pink petals on our bed in the shape of a heart and a note wishing us a safe journey home. This I thought was very sweet.
The staff at these apartments were very friendly especially Rafi the magic trick man. He cost my boyfriend his t-shirt just to show him the secret to one trick.
Overall these apartments were pleasent but I have stayed in better.
Word of advice to anyone wishing to visit any part of Turkey do not go to the doctors there. If you suffer with prickly heat etc or you get a severe mosquito bite visit the chemist as the doctors situated in your hotels will have you at a clinic in no time riged up to a drip and will be taking you up to your excess on your indurance.

staff were very friendly and very helpful.

There are 3 pools. No problem with getting sunbeds - no Germans stay here! Pool area was very pretty- main pool gets very busy though. Staff were great, very helpful. No daytime entertainment. Youngest kids went to the kids club, which they really enjoyed and every week they take kids for 4 hours in the evening which was great for us!
We ate out most nights, would highly recommend china town and far east, brilliant service and fab food. Prices good- compared to Portugal, Cyprus etc as haven't been hit with the euro yet. Drinks expensive in the hotel and the hotel shop - best to stock up at local supermarket.
Don't bother going to Bodrum indoor market- you are packed in like sardines, sweating like a pig, and the shops in Gumbet do exactly the same stuff at cheaper prices!!
This is a perfect holiday for families- we were worried it would be a 'here we go' larger lout place, but as it was school hols and prices rise considerably, this was not thank god the case!
We would highly recommend the Jasmin and will def def def return.

Absolutely brilliant holiday, already booking for next year. Hotel grounds really pretty, rooms big although could do with air con in living room aswell as bedroom. Kept really clean.
Staff are fabulous really friendly and always laughing and joking (even after a 14 hour shift!)
Really good location, short walk along beach to the town or catch the dolmus into Bodrum which comes along every ten minutes 24 hours a day - best bus service we have ever experienced.
Look out for happy hours as you can get a pint for 75p, obviously dearer in the hotel. The Parrot Restaurant and The Red Dragon are a definite must to visit.
Also you must try the ice creams for sale along the beach - they are to die for.
