My family (2 adults & 4 teenagers) stayed at Elista hotel in Turkbuku and had a truly wonderful time! The hotel itself is really lovely, with a spacious dining & reception area where we had a large breakfast spread every morning with all kinds of cheeses, meats, bread, olives, jams, eggs and coffee/tea. I want to especially thank Mr. Barkin at reception who was always available when we had any questions or needs and was extremely helpful at all times. We had 2 people staying in each of 3 smaller rooms which were quite comfortable despite their size and cleaned daily by the great housekeeping staff who were always bringing us new towels and helped the kids a couple of times when they forgot their room keys (Medina of housekeeping was especially friendly and nice.) The hotel has a sparkling clean pool which the kids used every single day (sometimes more than the ocean). Right across from the hotel is Elista's bar and ocean deck where we spent every day lounging in chairs, ordering food and drinks and swimming in the beautiful Aegean waters (the kids loved the freshly made real fruit smoothies & person pizza's best!). In the evening the deck was turned into a beautiful dining area for dinner where the staff continued their great service. As we stayed at Elista for 10 days, we became very familiar with the friendly, hard-working staff. We want to thank Azad who was always on call at the beach deck, Fatih who worked tirelessly and always with a smile at the bar, and the servers led by Kerim who did a great job no matter how big the crowd got. You guys were great, thank you so much! We also had the chance to meet the hotel owners who were there every day making sure everything ran smoothly and were very down to earth and super friendly. In short, I would highly recommend Elista Hotel to anyone planning a trip to Bodrum and staying in Turkbuku. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did :-)
