My preferred hotel brand does not have a property in Bodrum. Having visited 3 prior MO properties, I decided to try MO Bodrum. I read the reviews before going and had an idea of what to expect. Yes, this property is very pricey for Turkey. However, the views are gorgeous, suites are spacious and comfortable and staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I was told the property was at 84% occupancy but it didn’t feel like it at all. During high season in July and August, it can accommodate 3K people. I ate at 3 restaurants on property. The food is good and the staff work extremely hard. With the exception of an issue at Harrakan, service was very good. I dined at Hakkasan and the appetizer was good. However, my server never placed the order for my entree and he did not check back in with me for 45 mins. When he did, he asked if I decided on an entree. He was supposed to check with the chef regarding a food allergy and let me know which dishes I could order. After 1.5 hrs, I paid the check and left having had only a drink and appetizer- a bit disappointing. Dinner at Sofra was redeeming- Emre on the wait staff- and the manager on duty were fantastic. Breakfast is buffet with an a la cart menu. I suggest sitting outside for better service. Yunus and Ramazan were fantastic at breakfast. I sat inside and had to ask for napkins, utensils, and the menu from one of the outside wait staff before being served. One thing I noticed, they seat guests before the staff have a chance to clean and reset the tables. There doesn’t appear to be a system to mark which tables are already occupied. I saw guests being seated at tables that had been claimed but not yet cleaned or only partially cleaned that had been given to other guests. Changing these two small things will make a great impact on service. 2 out of 3 beaches were open during my stay, however one is a private beach for residents only. The beach is rocky so bring water shoes. Views from the infinity edge pool are beautiful. The spa is large and the services were exceptional. Definitely enjoy a treatment or more during your stay. There are shops on property, however, I found the prices higher compared to other parts of Europe and in the US for the same items. A rental car will give you more options for exploring nearby beaches and going into the town of Bodrum. Alternatively, taxis can be prearranged. I would also suggest booking some boat time on the water. Overall, MO Bodrum is a beautiful property that provided a relaxing end to my 2 week trip around Turkey. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
