Regia Mare Beach Hotel & Spa Bodrum

The hotel has a nice beach and pool. The restaurant served decent Turkish breakfast. We really enjoyed the signature cocktails at the restaurant/beach. The pay one get two happy hour offer was a catch. The fried zucchini dish is a recommendation for all. The restaurant/beach nextdoor had live concerts at night which allowed us to listen to music for free. Not loud or disturbing for rooms.

The beach could have been cleaner; there was some cigarette litter. Ideal place for families with kids; might be overwhelming if you are looking for a romantic or overly calm stay. (This is not a negative comment, just fyi)

Good location and facilities for families with young children. Pool area was well maintained and clean. Excellent location next to the beach, no problem getting sun loungers. Good spa and gym facilities. Spa treatments were excellent value for money. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Typical British complaint but the hotel did not cater well for English language speakers. All menu's were in Turkish and we had to use Google translate to decipher the options. Only a few of the staff could speak English, mostly limited. This meant we didn't get the full experience of the cuisine or available options. The hotel also only provided a set breakfast which meant options were limited and a continental breakfast wasn't available. Room was clean and functional but lacked luxuries and bedding was basic. TV only had Turkish channels whereas international satellite channels and screen mirroring facility would have been useful.

Quiet place and dinner at the beach.

Breakfast

It’s right on the beach so easy to just wander down. There is a bar available. The outdoor areas are cleaned regularly. The staff were excellent and very friendly both at reception and at the bar and restaurant area. This was actually the highlight of the hotel. Daily drinking water is provided in the rooms.

There were quite a few issues with this hotel which concludes me to not recommend it. The room seems quite dated and the floor was pretty poor with scuff marks. The floor in the room wasn’t cleaned every day. The location is inconvenient if you plan to explore Bodrum. You definitely need a car to get around unless you plan to stay in the vicinity. There was a loud bar next door playing music late at night and the rooms are not adequately soundproofed. The breakfast was the same everyday with no options for yogurt or cereal. Overall, I found the prices were very high and overpriced for both the hotel room and the drinks at the bar. I understand that it’s August and we are 30 mins from Bodrum but I didn’t think this represented good value for money.
