Hotel Vita Bella Resort & Spa

Loved it!!

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.

The rooms were not as advertised and this place left me with a bad taste in my mouth as the customer service by the ocean was very poor. An example of this would be when we had ordered nachos which on the menu had stated that it came with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. What we received was minced meat on top of some nachos. When we asked if there was a possibility if we could have at least salsa, the server’s response was “oh its blended in there”. After I disagreed with her, she stated “oh thats just how we eat nachos in Turkey”. Breakfast staff were also rude.

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.
