Prive Hotel Bodrum

My sister and I spent 5 days here in October 2024 and had a lovely time. We were all inclusive plus (cocktails plus branded spirits and all the rest). There was a pastry bar in reception, a pastry bar & freshly made crepes or waffles by the pool til 4 with a variety of flavours of ice cream. There was the buffet (breakfast, lunch, dinner and at midnight) and the lunch snack bar (open til 4:30pm). There was also a al carte restaurant you could book once. This was nice however staff seemed keen for us to go, perhaps as it was Independence Day or something so despite having the 3 courses plus the sharing starters they gave we were in there for little over an hour which was a bit of a shame as they were standing around and waiting for us despite it seeming like it was fully booked that day when we asked when was free but we were the only people in there. The staff were friendly and pretty attentive. Bringing drinks to the pool or beach and in glasses. The food was lovely, a good variety at the buffet as well as the lunch bar. Breakfast had an omelette station and fresh pancakes too. However as we were there at the end of the season the options were limited the last few days which was fine however for vegetarians the only hot option was pesto pasta (2 nights in a row). There was a small library in the reception with back gammon, a tv room on the floor below, a medical centre and a shop and a spa (sauna with option to pay extra for Turkish bath or treatments). Definitely recommend getting the boat taxi which is right by the hotel to Bodrum which is 100 lira each and comes every 15 minutes until late. The pool was very cold but it may be due to it being October. There was table tennis, pool and darts (only one dart remaining) which was also free. Mini bar which again was free. Sunbeds were comfy especially around the pool and view was stunning. We had a lovely sea view with sunbeds on the balcony which was great. Free towels. QR code to access menu and order food and drinks to your table too. The music can be loud but unable to comment on the full extent of this as most of the entertainment had ended but was music on last night for Independence Day with a DJ til 12:30am, which was fun and personally not an issue for us at all. Apparently it plays til early hours of the morning in season though. Easily accessibility with a lift into the swimming pool for disabled access and lifts and braille on signs, which is fantastic for accessibility. Personally had a lovely time, was clean and felt all newly refurbished. Stunning views and a lot of different bars. However due to it being the end of the season I don’t believe they should have taken our booking considering there were only 2 other guests remaining which made us feel quite awkward and pretty much everything had closed and on the last night there was a staff party so we felt very out of place as the boat taxi wasn’t running and there was nowhere nearby to get drinks or food but after expressing our concerns (and the other guests) we were given a bottle of wine and able to get some food from the staff party but it made us feel like we had over stayed our welcome but our pick up was not til 9pm. Therefore avoid booking at end of season as I believe they should not take bookings unless they have enough to warrant it.

The hotel and staff were excellent. The service was outstanding. The rooms were cleaned daily. Every area was kept spotless though out our visit. You can catch a water taxi from the sea across to Bodrum town or the staff at reception will call you a taxi which always arrived within 2 minutes. The food and drink were availability all day. And there is a 24 hour lobby bar as well as a beautiful patisserie. Over all I would rate this hotel 10 out of 10.

Stayed at hotel Prive, last week of October. After reading some negative reviews before leaving I was concerned about my choice…I needn’t have worried as everything was tailored for a perfect holiday. Especially as mentioned by previous guests, the staff in all areas of the hotel, really do go the extra mile to make sure your every need is catered for. Restaurant staff, bar staff, house keeping and Damla and Diana who look after you during your stay, via a very helpful WhatsApp group. Any minor issues were always sorted and resolved instantly. The view from the hotel and our balcony was nothing short of a small piece of heaven. The sun rise in the mornings can only be described as breathtaking. Food in the restaurant was varied, catering for all tastes and alway high in quality. Bar staff will offer advice and make spectacular cocktails, my wife would especially recommend the Porn Star Martini. You are waited on hand and foot at this hotel, not even having to move to order your cocktail as all orders are requested through a QR code from your sun bed. Will definitely be returning to Hotel Prive at some point in the near future. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay and holiday so special.

Very nice hotel, really wonderful and friendly staff. The room was nice and clean. Would have given a 5 star if we had a better sea view. The mini bar was replenished daily. Anything that you need they are happy to help. Lots of different varieties of food that suits everyone as well as different desserts and delicious baklava. Restaurant staff very attentive and friendly especially Kemal Can who is such a wonderful polite young man with such a sweet smile. He made our every visit to the restaurant very special. He is a credit to your hotel.

Great hotel, staff on the deck were super helpful and assistance team couldn't do more to make sure we had a great holiday. The location is fantastic with views across the bay and a regular boat trip across to the centre of Bodrum just 10 minutes away. We would definitely return to this hotel.
