We were delighted with the friendly welcome we received on arrival. I would recommend this hotel as the service we received was excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly with nothing seeming to be too much trouble. There were a lot of stairs (we knew this from the brochure) and it would not suit everyone, but we found it was not a problem as with being on the top floor we had great views over the bay which made the climb worthwhile.

The hotel was spotless, gardens lovely and the pool area kept clean at all times. The pools were not very big and could get quite crowded but there were sunbeds on the beach and also a quiet bar area in the gardens where you could have a cold drink or a coffee.

Meals were served round the pool area which was pleasant, and although we were B&B we had several meals in the hotel which were reasonably priced, but drinks were expensive compared to other areas of Gumbet. We would however go back to this hotel as we had a great time there and were looked after very well.

Never been to Turkey before and was slightly worried taking my 7 & 4 yr old, but it was fantastic.

This Hotel is superb and could easily deserve 5 stars. Spotlessly clean, and was always being cleaned. Kids had a fab time.

Hotel right on the beach.

Flowers everywhere and a stream down the middle of the steps.

Very large family room overlooking the sea and the breakfast was excellent.

Pools are lovely, but rather deep. Small childrens pool and a jacuzzi and playground.

Staff are fantastic and SO friendly, especially to the kids...Would go back year after year.

Where do I start. Arrived at Asarlik Beach and had a fantastic warm welcoming.

Went to the pool, absolutley beautiful. There are two pools with a jacuzzi in the middle. Theres rockery and flowers everywhere.

Theres a stream going from the stairs at the top of the hotel which leads you to the pool area. It was really beautiful and tranquil. The staff were lovely.

I honestly felt like a queen, never moving from my sunlounger, cos the staff did everything for you. Bring you drinks, food, sell you tours.

There was entertainment right through the day till the nightime. The entertainment team had only been there since the start of the season, so it was their first year there. Entertainment would be morning aerobics, darts, water polo, table tennis, I could go on for hours about the entertainment.

The weekly turkish nights and beach partys were an excuse to indulge myself with all the gorgeous turkish food and cakes on offer.

I would definately advise anyone travelling to turkey to stay at the asarlik beach.

I have been to many places, and I can honestly say this year, staying at the Asarlik Beack in Gumbet was my best holiday ever.

I travelled with my friend Vicky to the Asarlik beach hotel in June and can I just say this was the best holiday ever.

The hotel is beautiful, as I work for First choice many customers and staff had recommended this to me and the were so right its fab. I travelled to Gumbet last year but stayed in a diffrent hotel and the Asarlik beach has to be the best hotel in Gumbet.

The Hotel is very Clean, in a great location with its very own private beach. We only stayed Bed and Breakfast which as an assistant manager for First choice I always like to give my customer my honest opinon and that would be anyone travelling here to only stay bed and breakfast.

If you stay bed and breakfast you can pay to eat at the hotel especially on Turkish night which I would advise you to do there is just such great food belive me, Vicky must have eaten 40 cakes in one night!

The rooms are beautiful but be warned if you were anything like me and Vick that stayed out all night then be prepared to get woken up buy the cleaners banging their cleaning trolleys about!!

All the entertainment staff Sam,Mehmet &Ayson where fab they keept you entertained all day. The bar staff are all so great, Bulent (he thought he could marry me), Serkhan,Tom Cruise-Jay and how can I forget Mem the waiter.

It just felt like home, We made so many friend which we are staying in contact with. I also got engaged to my husband to be who lives out there and works in Ediz Resturant which is a lovely resturant to eat in but some people may find it a little more expensive than the others especially my mate Michelle!

I love it out here and not only for the reason because my man is there but the counry is beautiful and I am going back in 3weeks I have only been back for 4 weeks and miss it already.

It was Vickys first time in Gumbet and she had the best holiday of her life that we were crying on the way home.

If you need any info then contact us we can tell you every thing you need to know, it upsets me seeing other peoples reports and them slagging Gumbet off because it is just great.

Stayed at Asarlik Beach Hotel. Were booked for the Lighthouse Hotel in Ortakent but it wasn't finished so First Choice moved us. Had a fabulous time and would recommend to anyone.

Rooms were great and all the staff were brilliant. Place was so clean that we felt guilty about leave any rubbish in the bins!!

Going back to Turkey next year but this time staying at Lighthouse Hotel.

This hotel is lovely, no doubt about that. It has rather a lot of steps thoughout the hotel and therefore is on about 3 levels.

A bit of a pain if you are on the top level as the bars and entertainment are on beach level. Spotless clean and fairly central with a small 5 minute walk downhill to the main junctions.

The staff are very pleasant and friendly. The downside of this was it was very expensive indeed. No money changes hands and it is all done on a card basis.

Most people around the bar late at night were complaining about the prices but I have to say that we found this throughout Gumbet and Bodrum this year and not just this hotel.

The entertainment is basic and the meals very Turkish. The breakfast was good though and toilets and kitchens spotless.

Mr friends and I stayed at the Asarlik Beach in May 2005 and had a fantstic holiday. I have never seen such a clean hotel, as everything was sparkling. Rooms were spotless and so was the pool area.

The food was very traditionally Turkish and every night they would cook a dish in front of you - be it pancakes, Turkish style spring rolls, BBQ chicken - it was fabulous.

Pool area was stunning and you are right on the beach - even though it is shingle. Within a few minutes you can walk into Gumbet centre.

The hotel was one of the best i've stayed in and I would recommend it to anyone.

This was the 3rd time of returning to Gumbet, basically because it has everything that the younger ones in our group would like.

We arrived VERY early in the morning. Lovely welcome from reception (Yusuf and staff), and cases delivered to our rooms in minutes. We unpacked, went to breakfast at 8am and straight to the pool to catch up on our sleep.

Hotel is lovely. Rated as 3*plus but easily compares with some of the 5* we have stayed at in Side and Alanya.

Waiting staff were faultless (Hasan, Omer, Ufuk & Ozcan) so helpful and cheerful despite being tired from long working hours.

Our room was lovely with beautiful views although some might not have been so lucky on the lower levels. No drawers anywhere but we managed with the space available. Thoroughly cleaned daily, clean sheets and towels every couple of days.

The security guards didn

Where do I begin. Having gone to this hotel on a reconmendation I was very very pleasantly surprised. There is not one bad thing about this hotel, except the lack of entertainment at night. The hotel was spotlessly clean aswas the rooms and pool. It was an absolute delight to stay there, so much so that we are seriously considering going back next year! The staff are very friendly and helpfull. My 4 year had a ball and loved the swimming pools and jacuzzi. If youlike the beach then you could'nt be any near if you tried. I would recommend this hotel without any hestation

Arrived at 4am in the morning, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful smell of the flowers in the garden and the absolute quietness. Beautiful rooms. Everywhere inside and out is absolutely spotless. All the waiters and bar staff and resident photographer were all so friendly and full of fun.
If you enjoy having a back massage - go to the resident masseur in the hotel - he really knows his stuff - (just inside the left hand restaurant and down the stairs on the right - not very well signposted).

Not much entertainment whilst we were there mainly due to the football (which was shown on big screen), but apparently they usually have bingo nights/quiz nights/karaoke etc. They did have a Turkish night on Thursday - belly dancer/ folk dancers/singers etc.

Food - very good choice - buffet style - you can have as much as you want - and all served outside (you can eat inside if you wish).

Just to repeat an earlier comment - not good for elderly/infirm or pushchairs due to number of steps - but these all add to the individuality and character of the place - so if you're fit - go for it!

Directly on the beach which is not the best beach in the world - very clean - but narrow and shingly and you need some waterproof shoes really if you are going in the sea as the sea bed is very stony.

All in all an excellent spot for a relaxing holiday with the lively centre of Gumbet only 10 minutes walk down the beach or down the road.
Cheaper drinks and comfier chairs than those round the pool bar can be found at the Sun Corner bar just round the corner from the hotel (you'll see it when you arrive) - very polite/welcoming barman called Sebo. Good spot to watch the world go by.
