Selectum Colours Bodrum

The weather was amazung.

My overall comment for the hotel would 4/5. Actually I'd also rate 5/5 but in comparison with other hotels, the distances between the room and the sea was quite sloppy. You don't have to climb all the way for your room thanks to elevator but to reach out the elevators is another adventure. Nevertheless, the staff, the cleanliness, foods, etc... were all beyond of my expectations. I can consider to go there again.

We had 2 rooms, both had slight sewage smell, the staff response to that was that the resort is full so nothing can be done. The AC fan made a really loud noise in one of the rooms when it was one or high, so we kept it at low. If you open the balcony door the AC turns off and there is no screen door/window so we woke up with mosquito bites. Overall the rooms were blunt, of poor condition, as was the entire resort.

There is almost no sand as the already small beach is jam-packed with loungers. There are boats going up and down past the small beach all the time. The bay is lined with party hotels that have music blaring until all hours of the morning. The staff are rude and could not be bothered to assist or even do their jobs (with the exclusion of the waiters at the 24/7 restaurant). No one provided any information on hot the hotel runs, ie. when which restaurants were open or how that worked, or showed or even told us where to find anything. The guests by and large seem to come for the endless food and drinks, and generally were unfriendly and rude, pushing in queues as if food would run out.

Good food options every day, the 24/7 restaurant and snack bars also offer good options. The resort overall was really enjoyable, with a decently priced spa with friendly and experienced staff. However the rooms could be cleaned better, we found dusty floors on the day we arrived around the bedside tables. The pools (indoors and outdoors) are quite cold, should be warmer. Overall was an enjoyable stay.

Had a lovely stay at Selectum Colours. It was a nice hotel which had good facilities and kept clean. It is slightly dated but arguably gives it character. We had a sea view with a balcony, room was kept clean and bed was comfortable. Loved having the flexibility of the 7/24 restaurant for late morning's and late nights. Buffet had variety and something different everyday. We only had the A la carte Italian restaurant for our last night and food was superb...our favourite meal of our whole stay. Owner of spa was lovely, very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the turkish bath, massages and clay masks....we ended up doing this twice during our stay. Changing facilities are dated but the hamam, sauna, treatment areas are well kept and very relaxing. Service is excellent and we would definitely recommend. There was entertainment on every evening...good effort to keep guests entertained. They had a good range of cocktails however in our experience, the lobby bar only made these well...unfortunately didnt enjoy these from the other bars as much. There are lots of steps so you can easily make up your 10,000 steps in a day, but be wary if travelling with elderly or those who need accessibility suport as quite a few steps and walking. There was a quiet pool at the far end of the resort which was always empty but perfect if you wanted to relax away from the crowds. Lots of cute baby cats around the resort too and one crazy dog (lol)
