Green Bay Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

Thought long about the rating I was going to give this hotel in my review. It all started with a 5, dropped to 2 in between and finally decided to give it a 3. First of all, our tour agency did not mention any word about the hotel closing while we bought the trip, so we found out on the third day there that it will be closing on our last day. Spent there sixteen days at mid-October. In the first six days everything was good, food variety was excellent, food was always restocked during meals, there were enough drink selections and so on, just as you would expect from an ultra all-inclusive type. About ten days before closing, the closing procedures began. We were in the middle of packing, so not really relaxing mood. For example, there was no rum left at the hotel anymore, ten days more to go and that was finished for the season. Also the ice cream fridge was gone, two bars closed and most beach chairs moved away. Main restaurant food variety and amounts too reduced, sometimes food was cold. Day by day the spaces between cake platters got wider at the cake stand. In the last days the white wine, gin and vodka were running out too, the bartenders were searching from other bars and back to see if there were some leftover bottles, sometimes they found some, but sometimes not. Actually the staff was friendly, sometimes tired from the season, but still caring. Some entertainment was left, like darts and rifle shooting, the guy was actually enthusiastic and wanted to arrange the games. The hotel is really remote, there is about 4km to the next small town along a narrow road, most probably with dogs, as seen from the taxi window. The yellow taxi prices have increased a lot, it was 10TL to sit in and about 30TL for the kilometer fee, so about 700TL to Bodrum one way. What was good about the hotel, were the evening shows and live bands, which we had the opportunity to see in the first part of the trip, later the shows were finished as well. Good quality and level of shows and bands. The DJ/sound technician did a very good job too. We also went on Jimmy's boat. If you like to have many swimming breaks at different places along the nearby coast and just chill, then it is the boat trip for you. The boat crew was very friendly and provided a wonderful meal with a kind atmosphere. On the hotel premises there were many dogs, cats and a few puppies, but they did not bother us, it was fun that they were there. The room and other areas were cleaned properly and no complaints about that. But no wine and fruit in room for birthday, as seen on other quests' photos on Tripadvisor. It was sweet of the hotel to provide food from the snack bar after lunch until the evening and some drinks that they had left on the final closing day.

A great hotel for a family holiday. Close to everything - the beach, swimming pools. Delicious food. The service in bars with drinks is fantastic. Bartender Suleyman perfectly manages guest service and takes care of every detail. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful place for peaceful and enjoyable vacation. Hotel is a litle bit old but the atmosphere and people working in it are the best. Always helping and smiling. Light wind at the beach and work september weather are beautiful

Daha öncede tercih ettiğim green by otel bu yıl inanılmaz şaşırttı beni bar ve restaurant ekibi o kadar güler yüzlü ve ilgili ki kendimizi tam anlamıyla evimizde hissettik ayırı etten bu ekibin çocuklarıma yaklaşımı da çok memnun etti bizi yemeklerin lezzeti çok güzeldi genel anlamda önce ki yıllara göre çok daha memnun ve mutlu ayrıldık. Bu yaz ikinci tatilimiz de tekrar görüşmek üzere herşey için teşekkürler.

Most boring holiday we've had, they were literally shutting down around us. Limited drinks, no a la carte as shut, no watersports, no entertainment, no atmosphere. Staff at the pool bar, waffle bar snack bar were nice and helpful. Rooms are very dated and small, tiny balconies with 2 chairs. Waterslide only on a few hrs a day. Cats and dogs everywhere Inc tables Location is very isolated The hotel itself is lovely but I think it'd be better when full. Was only around 50 people max all week DON'T GO MID OCTOBER

Wow wow wow! What an amazing experience staying here at the Crystal Green Bay resort. We have been blown away by the custom, the place is absolutely unreal. Animation team especially, always going out there way to engage with you, even working such long days. Food is okay, normal all inclusive stuff but go to the grills outside for dinner as they always have something special there, special shout out to Ishmail and Damla for making the experience unforgettable. Also thanks to the lovely staff behind the bar and their special cocktails! (Ask for the specials when you order as they make their own version depending on who you ask)

We booked this holiday a year before and were very excited to go to our lovely 5* hotel. When we arrived we have been greeted by the porter who took our suitcases to the room. Reception staff were polite but their English wasn’t the best. We paid extra for family room with garden view, when we arrived the room was ok but nothing special (defo not 5*), not much space to put the clothes, luckily we had spare bed so we kept most of our clothes in the suitcases on the bed. Balcony was tiny, 2 chairs and you could not walk to it. View we had was “amazing” car park and some type of gas container in the garden. During our stay the house keeping knock at the door and enter straight away every morning at 8am and woke up our son. You would love to enjoy some sleep when on hols but not possible. Room was only hoovered and bed was made and towels changed. For our 2 weeks stay not once they cleaned the bathroom or change the beds. Pool were nice and clean but sun loungers were old and damaged with tiny old beach towels from the hotel which didn’t even cover half of the bed. Very slippery around the pool, many people was slipping around it. Till my sister in law accident around the kids pool area there was no warning signs around it. Lifeguard was only on the slide pool during slides opening hours. Beach was awful, I love to go the beach but this one really put you off. It’s in a bay so it was no current so water was dirty, warm and smelly. 1m from the entry you could not reach the bottom (even my son who is 6ft2) and water was dark so you could not see the bottom. Also they were wasps nest around the beach. Entertainment in4.8 bar was poor, mainly targeted for Turkish guests. They play international songs mainly in Turkish. Colombian dancers and South Africa band were good and we enjoyed the night. Food was boring, for 2 weeks the same thing. If you love sea food you will not get any there. Apart of fish you will not get anything else. A la carte restaurant on site is divided to 3 - Italian, Turkish and Sea food (again no sea food there ), we tried Turkish and it was set menu so you can’t really choose nothing and meat taste of petrol. We tried Turkish bath in the hotel and is nothing like proper Turkish bath we had before. Massage otherwise are amazing, the girls making miracles there. Hotel is in the middle of nowhere so the closest place to go is Bodrum 30 min in taxi. You can’t go out for a walks even around the beach. Gym is old and dirty, not much to choose from there. Pros - bar staff is amazing, they are making your holiday special. Big thank you to Fuat from the pool bar, great barman and his cocktails are amazing. Also Oscan from reception bar, Wasyl from the 24/7 bar and the waitresses from the 4.8 bar were amazing - food and alcohol available 24/7 - boat trim with Jimmy ( nice, good food and amazing Turkish coffee) - massage in spa Overall definitely not 5*(max3) and probably would not be so disappointed if it was sold as 3*. Would

I have been to Bodrum Twice before, I find the Turkish people to be the most friendly and helpful and welcoming. From leaving the airport and arriving at the hotel (Yellow Taxi, excellent service). When we arrived at the hotel (Clean and well presented and knowledgeable staff) we were made to feel at ease. The room was clean and the bathroom was fully functional and also very clean, as we had arrived at half past midnight, my wife and I wanted a snack before we settled for the night and get some sleep, they had a place that we could order some food freshly made and eat almost all night, so no chance of getting hungry. The next morning my wife and I had a superb selection of breakfast dishes and was spoiled my very helpful staff. We walked around the hotel and loved the piece and quite of the hotel as there were not hotels either side of this one. My wife and I have back problems and found the bed to be on the hard side, we spoke with the staff at the desk and within in an hour they had put a mattress topper to make the be softer (unfortunately it was still too hard). The rooms were cleaned and our towels were changed when we needed them to be. The evening entertainment was enjoyable especially the fire act. Would I recommend this hotel? The answer is an over willming yes, there were a few things that could be improved but they are so minor that it did not affect our stay, after our two weeks were finished, we wanted to stay longer because we were made to feel at home. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

Stay at crystal Green Bay hotel for 7 days. The hotel is fantastic, in a beautiful location and the staff couldn’t help enough. The entertainment team “Ismail” were great. I would highly recommend this place. Relaxed, entertainment and nothing bad about the place, location or staff.
