Rihanna was without a doubt one of the highlights of our holiday at Selectum Colours Bodrum. From the moment we arrived, she made everyone feel welcome with her infectious energy, positivity, and genuine friendliness.

Review written by my 8 year old daughter: “It was an amazing experience for all of our family with many different options of fun to have every day .The food was amazing with different country touches like sushi and pasta .The pool was a huge shock of surprise with a bridge in the middle witch was accessible ! There is also a bar by the pool having jacket-potatoes, hotdogs, ice cream and fruit all in good condition .The water slides were fun having two options of slides faster one for brave souls and a bit slower one but very twisty. I absolutely loved them”. Choice of day and evening entertainment was just amazing. I would highly recommend holiday in Selectum Colours!

We stayed at Selectum Colours Bodrum at the start of July and our overall rating would be 3.5 stars, not the claimed 5 stars. The positives: - The entertainment was good, particularly the traditional dancing and the acrobats. The singers/bands were also good but very few songs were in English, despite that being the original language for the songs and the common language among guests. This prevented much of a party atmosphere on most evenings. However, the beach party was really fun and they put in a lot of effort. - The room was cleaned well each day and the fridge kept stocked. - The sushi counter was fantastic, but it's only open at the weekend. There should really be a sign (outside of the guest relations desk) to state opening times. - The pool was clean and there were plenty of beds. - Firat provided excellent service in the dining room. He stood out to us as someone who is very attentive and friendly, and we would choose to sit in his area if possible. - The Italian a la Carte restaurant provided good service and some of the best food we ate during the week. The tiramisu was fun and delicious. - The soft drinks were the well-known brands on draught, including iced tea, which we loved. - The bell boys/luggage service was effective and friendly. They were some of the more welcoming staff members. - The fitness activities were good, particularly the water aerobics with fun and engaging instruction. The negatives: - The food is average quality. The layout/system is poor so there are long queues for the cooking stations and it's chaotic. Most things were just fine, with only a few standout dishes. Breakfast was not good with no fresh pastries or continental meats. The fresh fruit was also either under or very over ripe with little flavour. The desserts are as expected for any all-inclusive, looks great, tastes bland. - The drinks are poor quality and they didn't have several components, such as coffee liquor, for the entire week. This meant we couldn't have lots of the cocktails listed on their menu and their alternatives were not worth drinking. The wine was poor quality. The 'fruit juice' was squash at best but incredibly sugary and not worth having. It also meant using it as a mixer made the whole drink bad. The only place to get a decent coffee is in the lobby bar. - The service was very hit and miss with lots of staff members coming across as rude. Guest relations had very little information and would send you to the reception. On arrival, we were told not to check the box to decline promotional emails, etc., which we assume means they agree to it for you later. - The entertainment staff were hit and miss with some very engaging and entertaining members and some who put in minimal effort. - The music around the pool is monotonous and loud. They also start moving sun beds around 1800 and will ask you to move. - The hotel maintenance and decor leaves a lot to be desired. This was probably once a very grand and well-looked-after building but now the cracks are showing. There are plenty of wonky light fittings, cracking skirting boards, wobbly tables, areas of peeling paint. In our room, the bathroom walls had chips/dents and drips of paint on the floor. The shower seemed to leak slightly in the corner and there was no extractor fan at all. - The beach was okay but the snorkeling wasn't very good as the water is murky. The whole area was disappointing for snorkeling. - While I enjoyed the Turkish Hammam experience, the spa is in need of repair. The coals in the sauna are completely exposed with bits of metal sticking out and broken floorboards that are just waiting to be tripped over. There is also nowhere private within each changing room to change and the main door is open to the hallway, leaving very little privacy.
