Hotel Vita Bella Resort & Spa

It's an ok hotel but the staff needs to know English because communication was difficult.

The hotel is unfortunately not even worthy of a 1-star rating. The pools are empty, the spa feels eerie, and there’s no coffee or service at breakfast—it resembles a military canteen more than a hotel. No one speaks a word of English, the rooms are akin to jail cells, with old mattresses and beds so short that your legs stick out. The air conditioning hasn’t been cleaned in decades, and the hotel itself feels like a ghost town—you only see one person at the reception, and that’s about it. To top it off, it’s completely overpriced. We booked for six nights but left after just two. A refund was denied, and since no one spoke English, the hotel staff feigned ignorance. Around the hotel, most restaurants are tourist traps, which is really disappointing given how much Bodrum has declined in just one year. We used to visit every year, but the crisis is destroying the country because usually tourist traps are rare. Hoever the turks seem not to care about the next saison anymore.

I really liked this hotel but what I remember most is that they didn‘t put a water or food bowl for the stray cats which is so sad they were so hungry and thirsty. please give cats water and food! Lütfen kedilere su ve mama verin!!!🤍🐈

I returned to Vita Bella for the third time this April, and I will 100% be booking another trip next year. It really is a gem of a hotel, with comfortable rooms, a beach-front deck, delicious food and friendly staff. Bella Beach (the bar and restaurant on the deck), and the beautiful pool area are fantastic spots to sit and sunbathe and soak up the views over the bay. And I must mention the delicious food...my friends and I ate lunch on the Bella Beach deck every day! I will be counting down the days until I can get back out to Vita Bella.

The hotel was above expectations in every aspect.. Amazing swimming area, pool and “bella beach” are stunning.. Service at the beach is excellent and the staff are very friendly.. Rooms are very clean with beautiful balcony and view. Breakfast has simple variety and lovely setting area

I can’t praise this hotel enough. Pelin contacted us before arrival to check whether we needed anything. Upon arrival, we discovered we had been upgraded to a beautiful suite with a large balcony overlooking the pool & garden and beach club beyond. The hotel is located on the seafront at one end of the bay with restaurants on the doorstep. The local bus station is a 10 minute walk away and we got a dolmus to Bodrum and Yalikavak Marina. There is a local market on Wednesday weekly which was a great experience. What really made our stay at Vita Bella special was the staff. The owner checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed. Gunduz, head of the food & beverage team speaks excellent English and was really helpful giving us plenty of local information. I have to mention the rest of the team Yagmur Lokman Furkan Ahmet Kadir. Apologies to anyone I missed out! Every one of them was friendly, helpful and efficient. The food at Bella beach was delicious and the deck is a great place to sunbathe & take a dip in the sea. Breakfast was very good with eggs cooked any way to order and delicious breads, cheese etc. This is a boutique hotel which offers a personal service. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.
