Dorman Suites

Our second stay here. We all want different things from a holiday but we came back because this place has everything we want. It’s very efficiently run. Rooms are peaceful and clean. Beds comfortable. Superb showers. Wi-Fi good everywhere. Pool is clean and quiet. There is pleasant music from the bar area but never too loud or intrusive. Free bottled water left every day. Sunbeds always available. Staff pleasant and helpful. Grounds are beautiful and well kept. Cats and kittens everywhere which we loved. Saw tortoises too. Breakfast is OK. Similar every day. Very efficient but surprising that it doesn’t open before 08:30. Bitez is a 10 minute walk downhill and there are plenty of good restaurants, supermarkets and places to book trips. Dolmus goes from right outside and is about 50p to Bodrum (need a card to tap). The bar restaurant has a limited menu. Burgers, pizza, toasties plus a few Turkish dishes. Food is fine but very few people seem to eat there and it closes at 8pm! Burger about £11. Pasta about £10. Beer £4. Soft drinks £2.80. Turkey was a lot more expensive this year. A meal by the beach of typical small meze plate starter plus a kebab and couple of drinks was about £40 a head. Probably worked out about the same as an all inclusive overall but we like the freedom. There is a washing machine and dishwasher so would suit a longer stay or working break.

I am very disappointed in this hotel because of the rooms, the furniture is very old, the room smells like mold and there is so much dust in the ventilation. I am also disappointed about food, for one week you almost have the same things, not all the food tested good and i recommend to change the chef, some of the deserts were not fresh at all.

Stayed in Dorman Suites the last week in May 2023. Loved this hotel. Spectacular gardens, rooms and swimming pool. Good location. Friendly staff. Please make use of food menue. Had pasta and chicken burger, very very good food.

Very different from the images advertised. Not the luxury suites I expected. Arrived late ar night, grounds very dark, dangerous for those with mobility issues. Management unfriendly, no atmosphere. Staff don't speak hardly any English! Very limited utensils for an appointment. No dish cloths, bottle opener, cloths etc. Towels poor quality in bathrooms. Breakfast was sparse ( poor choice) no fruit laid out. Restaurant is expensive for what you get, and food is not good! Staff get orders wrong.... Bitez itself is dirty, and smells of sewage. Bins over-flowing and smell so bad. Roads and paths are a disgrace. 15/20 minutes in a taxi into Bodrum. No mini-market or anything near to the Dorman Suites. We asked to keep our room on until 6pm. They wanted €70!! The only positive thing was that the place was immaculate. Always cleaning the pool and garden areas. We were asked to leave the pool around 6ish as it closes!!! Definitely, not luxury accommodation. Would never return.

Great hotel with an awesome pool. Rooms are spacious & fitted with a kitchenette. Staff are very friendly & the hotel is located an easy 5 minutes walk from Bitez beach, where you can find loads of local shops & restaurants.

Family of 4 (2 Room apartment) Ideal family hotel, compact layout and short distance to the pool and bar. Very safe, staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Room sizes are perfect, kitchenette and lounge are very big. Pool size and depth is well thought out for a 10 year old and 13 year old to jump in and out on their own. Bar food is decent enough although limited. Quiet hotel in the evening and the location is spot on, taxi ride distances are as follows. Special thanks to bar manager Mehmet and Baytullah for making this a home away from home. Ps the cats are a bonus. Bitez beachfront is 5 min walk (okluptus restaurant v, good) Bodrum marina and cente - 12min Gumbet - 5min Airport - 40 min Yalikavak marina - 25 min Gormusuluk - 30min I would happily recommend this hotel and would visit again.
