Make use of a la carte restaurants, these are also open at lunch and the food is better than in the main buffet. The service at these is much better and a small tip is really appreciated. They are all good, though the Turkish was our favourite.
Pool, beach, and entertainment all good. Having stayed at many all inclusive resorts, this is the best we have stayed in in Europe.

I found rooms spotless, down to the petals on my bed, staff bend over backwards for you.
Beach very clean, I have been around the world and stayed in quite a few 5 star hotels and this one is up with the rest, what a great hotel.
Food and drink 24 hours a day, with a smile.

But here are a couple of tips if you visit. The shop in the hotel is really expensive it costs nearly

Rooms were cleaned every day,the petals on the bed were a nice touch!
There was so much food,you could try something new every meal time.
The staff were very friendly,we had the same waiter every evening who looked after us,our glasses were never empty!
We will definatly return to Wow,maybe next year with the family.

The rooms were of a smaller size to many places ( but who goes on holiday and sits in their room all day...... not me that's for sure) so this does not cause any problems.
The hotel management have chosen to build upon the things that really matter within a hotel complex. Like the upkeep of the place and other main facilities that are needed during your stay.
The pool was magnificent, it was large enough to fit plenty of guests in without a struggle and without hitting somebody while swimming.
There were plenty of loungers around the pool and there was certainly no trouble getting one. We managed to get the same spot around the pool everyday ( and being 9 of us all together i would call that an achievement).
The pool area was kept exceptionally clean.
The entertainment was of the highest standard. There was always something going on during the day, activities that suited all were available.
Things like waterpolo, boules, football, darts, a different pool game everyday kept people interested. more softer activities included aquagym, aerobics, yoga and stretching.
The list seemed to be endless of things to do.
In the ampitheatre there was something different on each night to keep you entertained after the sun has gone and also entertainment provided at the Windmill bar.
There was a disco for the older teenagers onwards.
There were planty of bars and restaurants to choose from, wherever you went in the complex it was always possible to get to a bar within a couple of minutes.
The main bar is the seyir bar, this is inside across from reception. Inside there were plenty of comfy seats to choose from and if you fancied sitting outside there was also a terrace looking over the pool and a magnificent view of gumbet and a moonlit sea. The waiter service is great. They are very friendly. At this bar you must try a chocolate monkey coctail, they are just so tasty. Other bars are a pool bar and a windmill bar.
There is also a vitamin bar and a beach bar.
There is always the opportunity to get food either in the main restaurant or the snack bars near the beach. The Italian snack bar is the best in my opinion.
The quality of food is excellent and there is always plenty to choose from. There are also a la carte restaurants if you fancy wining and dining one night. There is the Italian, Mediterranean and a Turkish.
All in all we were very impressed by the hotel and would definately return.

This hotel really does try to make everyone happy both day and night and succeeds (with the exception of the Turkish, Russian and Israeli guests who moan about anything and everything apparently as one member of staff told me).
If you are looking for a great quality all inclusive hotel in a great location go here and as others have said on this review......Enjoy!

The hotel is located on a fairly steep hill on the outskirts of Gumbet. It would be about a 10-15 min walk into Gumbet but we took taxis as we didn't feel like walking when the temperature was 100 degrees!
The facilities were excellent and the food very good. Lunch can be taken at one of the three a la carte restaurants - outdoor Turkish restaurant has a wonderful view over Gumbet bay and was a favourite place to spend a couple of hours at lunchtime with a bottle of wine!
The miniclub facilities were excellent and were available from 10.00am to 12.00 midnight (with a break for supper). My daughter went on a trip with the miniclub to Bodrum Castle, went sailing and took banana boat rides (all free).
The hotel beach was narrow but very clean. My partner went sailing (free) and my son used the PADI diving boat based at the hotel and took his advanced open water certificate.
The only negative with this hotel was our room. The rooms themselves were fine facility wise - TV, air-cond, toiletries provided etc. but we booked a family duplex room which cost us almost

All beverages available from soft drinks, cocktails, teas, coffees, beers, wines and spirits are all free at all times. With a 24 hour bar with waitress service and a mini bar in all rooms at no extra charge.
Entertainment every night and day, those travelling with children will benefit from a relaxing holiday as well, the entertainment staff are there from early morning to late at night to keep the little ones happy.
Activities to name but a few are water sports, games room, internet access, large pool, gym, hairdressers, sauna, relax pool, beech, aqua park, tennis and many more.
If you do wish to leave the complex to actually spend a bit of money, gumbet is a relaxing 10 minute walk away.
The hotel is spotless, all communal areas as well as individual rooms are to a high standard.
If you are looking for that family holiday, where you don't have to worry or even if you want that relaxing couple holiday, I would recommend WOW Bodrum.
This was our first visit and we have already booked again for next year.

The whole complex is like a small Turkish village with vines and gardens outside your rooms.
We had a fabulous room with a seaview and facilities in the room were immaculately clean, with showergel and shampoo dispensers in the bathrooms and a huge queensize bed.
The food was impressive with a massive buffet restaurant, where they even made their own bread. Best of all were the 3 a la carte restaurants which had an atmosphere all of their own.
People from cleaners to reception staff and waiters were friendly and very helpful.
The animation team were brilliant and the evening entertainment was excellent with colourful shows.
A big plus was the hotel's own beach which had watersports and free sunbeds and beach towels.
I can't fault this hotel in any way, but that may be because we were there at a quieter time of the year and wasn't too busy. Can't wait to go back.
