Tui Magic Life Bodrum - Adults Only

Having a good holiday

I will never go there again!

Holidayed here for the first 2 weeks in October with another couple who, shortly after booking, decided to get married here using an independent wedding co-ordinator recommended by the hotel itself. How exciting.  To whoever does the trip advisor responses for the hotel, you know what's coming.....its all been documented with plenty of emails and a meeting in resort whilst we were there so, this review will be of no surprise to you! But, credit where its due I shall first review the hotel....... PROS: What a beautiful resort this is. Aesthetically very pleasing with the most stunning views. The bars make great use of this and wherever you choose to sit of an evening you will have picturesque vistas of the sea and the island opposite. We'd come back just for the views. Rooms: We paid for side sea view rooms in the main building and we weren't disappointed, watching the sunsets from the balconies was something we looked forward to every evening before going out. Didn't much like the pointless "milking stools" to sit on and while the balconies are small, you could certainly fit a couple of adult sized stools or chairs on them. Rooms lacked amenities in the bathroom for a 5 star hotel by only providing a basic shower gel and soap. No iron, bathrobes, mini bar refills etc. Found that very poor. That said, the rooms were very modern and a nice place to be when having an afternoon nap. Beds extremely comfortable and slept well. The cleaning lady was so sweet and went out of her way to decorate the rooms before, during and after the wedding day. Sorry we didn't get her name as she deserves the praise. Food: The food in the buffet which was open morning and night was exceptional. Full of variety and always well presented. The cakes! Just amazing! Credit to Mustafa who looked after us every evening. He always remembered what we liked to drink and served them with a smile. Also a special mention to Rukmana who cooked our eggs to perfection every morning, what a lovely gentleman. We ate at both the a la cartes, preferring the Turkish Levante restaurant. The food here was plentiful and really good so chose to eat here after the wedding. Pools: We only used the infinity pool which was lovely although a tad cold to get in. Could be a lovely peaceful area if it wasn't for the constant 1,2,3,4 and jump from the exercise classes on loudspeaker! Once we found the beach, this became our spot. Beautiful, and no need to rush to get a sunbed. Drinks: 24hr all inclusive bar is a bonus although we were ready for bed early most evenings. Plenty to drink but felt the cocktail menu was very limited so us ladies tended to stick to the lattes. The drinks are certainly strong, the men knew they'd had a drink! Absolutely loved sitting outside the lobby bar on the terrace. Entertainment: There is plenty going on day and night and friendly entertainments team wander round during the day to remind you of what's happening. You can be as busy or as chilled as you like.
