If you're the kind who seeks out a gym, there's decent gym with plenty machines and free weights.

The free Wifi in general worked well across the resort.

We were shown to our rooms very quickly, including a free upgrade for our grown up kids to a sea view room so that our rooms were close.

Also, free mini bar in the package, this consisted of 1 can of lemonade, 2 cans of cola, 1 can of fizzy orange and some water, and once it was gone it was gone.

everywhere says one night free in each restaurant?

Rooms - Happy with our rooms, Nice and big, nice bathrooms, Free safe (unlike most other hotels!

@ALISON website provides a free hospitality course, can be completed in a week and will hopefully allow the front desk reception to learn how to treat visitors.

this was our first holiday in 2 years and save up we were both stressed as we had just moved house and business , and my fiancé had just lost his mum, so we wanted a stressed free holiday!

The head chef was superb in that my wife had to have a gluten free diet, which was discussed and organised with Anne - the guest relations manager.

On the plus side Jamie our Thompson rep and Ann the hotel customer liaison were both wonderful, the Turkish tea garden was relaxing and there were always plenty of sun beds - so no getting up early to put your towel down, which are also given free.

We didn't have to queue at the bar at all during our week stay which again is a bonus.

But they had few places where there was free wifi (lobby and the tea garden).

We used the kayaks on several occasions which are free to use.

Plenty of water sports including kayaking on the beach which is free.

.thanks for making my solo stay hassle free and very enjoyable.

Kayaks are free to use on the private beach, and the water is crystal clear surrounded by lots of fish.

Canoe's are free to use, shingle beach we did not like

The safe is completely free and you get some complimentary fizzy pop in your mini fridge too.

High level service, very helpful and friendly staff.

The Manager Fatih 'Manager of reception' thankyou, so friendly and helpful.

The staff is very friendly, thanks to Abdurahman, we felt like dining at a fancy restaurant every day.

Every single member of staff was friendly, helpful and the service was impeccable and always totally professional.

very good experience, staff were friendly and the hotel was beautiful!

Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

We had an amazing time and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful.

The resort is amazing.it has many facilities and different options for beach and pool experience.the buffet is ammazing and variable.amazing view..spa was very good with friendly professional staff.loved the place

The animation team was great and super friendly.

I enjoyed the food, the culture and the people were great and very friendly and helpful.

Our stay was amazing, staff was so friendly specially your restaurant staff, starts with Resturant manager Hüseyin, and Fethi, Mehmet, Zeynep Deniz, Sinem, Merve, those names that I remember.

The food is good, animator staff is really amusing and friendly.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming .

The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

And the entertainment team was so friendly and kind specially the Ufuk, Ege, Sevval.

Food is great considering it is all inclusive and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Thank you very much to the friendly staff who work hard to ensure that guests rest as comfortably as possible.

The location of the hotel is close to entertainment centers, The animation team of the hotel was friendly and fun.

Our room was very clean, service top, staf was very friendly en food realy good when you eat local kitchen.

but there was no kids club any day except one and that too was just 2 hours in the morning. We had to repeatedly ask about kids club and when we went to the reception, the receptionist who spoke little to no English kept giving us the phone to talk to another person who almost seemed displeased that we were asking about kids club(a facility we had paid for and was included when booking!)

As it’s a young team for the most part professionalism throughout is needed and some upgrades e.g iron board, answering phone and mannerisms especially to be respectful to women and not intrusive.

but I’ve never been to a hotel with such a massive language barrier, you would at least expect them to understand some English when working on reception for example “ can you call a taxi please” and I know this is not there fault however again this is a 5* hotel and maybe even just some acknowledgment of what I’m saying to them would be nice even if they didn’t understand.

After calls to Blue Dreams hotel we were told they were sending us taxis to go back to the hotel at 2am no taxis had arrived and now had 3 extremely tired children.

I called three times and they put the phone down on me.

first things first love holidays sell rooms with glossy pics that are no where near what you get 
reception staff rude not one talk english which is so frustrating 
the mini bar doesnt get topped up ypu literally have to beg for milk coffee and suger simple things that should be topped up dailey 
my baby waited two hours for a bottle due to the fridge not being topped up and having to order over the phone from the room the reception is ten feet away so how it took two hours is beyond me .

My wife was sat outside the room in her pyjamas for nearly a hour before anybody turned up, every time I went back to reception the guy there was casualy drinking a coffee on his phone.

Closed down if u are due to come to this hotel contact who u book it with as we  come  to stay on the 17th of may 2018 we  come to Turky to find out it was no longer open and when we rang travel republic they had no idea about this hotel was no longer open they got us into a diffrent hotel

We were then woken again at 6.30am by a phone call from reception asking who was in the room.

We took ages to get back to sleep, once we did we were woke up again at 6.30am with a phone call from reception asking who was in the room as clearly they do not have the ability to organise.

They hate the English, take ages to make a drink, don't have a drinks menu and spend most of their time on their phones or talking to one another.

You cannot take your mobiles or cameras with you on the buggy tour and therefore have to purchase one of their lockers.

A lot of the staff went home the first week also, leaving some that weren't the best - we found that the bar staff would carry on their mobile phone conversations while serving you or hardly look up from their phone which we've not experienced in a hotel before.

Also one barman constantly on his mobile even when serving you. 3.

but looked very nice, they have an indoor pool again never used but looked nice, then we have the aqua park, open 10 am-12 am then 2 pm - 4 pm had a bit of fun here, but they could really do with more than 1 rubber ring for the half pipe, a lot of time wasted for it to be brought back up, staying at the aqua park, i have never seen a member of staff who has such a miserable face, that's when she actually looked up from looking at her phone.

Wifi is ok some days and some times not so if you are on holiday stop moaning about it put your phone away and enjoy the scenes.

I also think the room would benefit from having the phone number for reception either on/next to the phone because if you have a problem you do not know how to call reception.

There is literally nothing in the room, a phone with no phone directory, no information about the restaurants, facilities and policies, nothing !

Even when we was going out for the night, they would take us up to the bus stop on a golf buggy or call for it to bring us back.

Where all inclusive means all inclusive with no expense spared and fantastic value.

You can’t just visit the castle, it’s all one visit and very reasonably priced.

As Price and performance comparision, i advise it.

Facilities were all wonderful except room toilet which felt low cost.

but for money that we payed it’s a good hotel for its rates.

BUT as we did not have a luxury room booked, they wanted an additional fee for every day in there.

Excellent rooms, spectacular views, great staff, at unbelievable pricing.

For the price it’s excellent value for money and I’d definitely return.

The food is great and we also ate at the a la carte fish restaurant which was very reasonably priced.

Overall - the place is perfectly priced for the facilities it provides, it’s clean, the staff is friendly and well mannered, the management (Special huge thanks to Fatma and Burak) is super helpful and great with dealing with any type of requests (we had too many!

.as first time water skiiers, the captain was very patient and kept us out in the water for much longer than we had  paid for.

but if you pay for an all inclusive holiday you expect one.

Although I don’t rate the entertainment as a family we made our own and met some really lovely people around the resort, we had a bar member who was very polite and made sure we were sorted for drinks and popcorn most nights big thanks again to Cihan!

The best thing about coming to Bodrum apart from the hotel was going to the bazzar and haggling at the price, had so much fun.

Espicially thanks to Mr. Nuri karalok who has in charge for food and beverages, he is the man always on your side to solve everything in there.

Very cheap wine, spirits and beer unless you pay for a brand.

Each time I said that we were happy to stay in the room we had paid for

I also had a few treatments in the spa that are very relaxing and much cheaper than at home.Again with the treatments you can haggle.There is a small shop with a lovely lady who collects money to feed street animals 😊I am sorry i forgot your name

Also for the guys who enjoy there football pubs in bodrum also do the same, bar staff at dreams bar are top hats off to Tanju he works so hard all the time, always there with his perfect smile, your drinks etc, animation team are great special shout to Kenan  (hope your knee is fixed) al in all a great reasonable priced week away to catch some sun , there are several pools and quite bars where u don't have to have music and games all day

Barista at tea & coffee bar doesn’t know the difference between espresso and americano))) 
Today we were at A’la  carte fish restaurant and we left before final course because my mom was waiting for her fish (the same fish as mine) 15-20 minutes longer than me. When I asked waiter about it , he said “sorry”,

but at sometimes not the greatest and the staff can be either very unprofessional and pestering (e.g requesting to give massage despite me saying no more than once ) or not attentive at all to your requests; but i know  they were very busy and want to make sales.

Whenever I asked a question (not hard questions, like can they fix the AC in my room, why wasn't the WiFi working, can I get a late checkout) they didn't know the answers and kept asking me to come back later.

It’s actually the first time in our lives when we decided to extend our holiday by 2 more weeks and enjoy the sun, and asked our parents to come and join us here.

when you asked the staff about why the bar is closed they would just ignore you and carry on smoking.

For example, no rum available, if you asked for rum you got vodka!!!

When I asked for Rum & Coke they would repeatedly fail to give me the Rum, on one occasion they laughed to each-other and put 'sugar syrup' in my coke.

The staff seamed very unconcernerd about this issue and were desrespectful many times, even when I asked the wi-fi's password the other day.

Luckily the ants did not enter the room otherwise we would have requested a room change.

•	5pm we asked about the upgrade or duvet again and was told that upgrade would cost £550 for the week.

I never once seen a cocktail or even drink menu and when I asked for one I was also told I will make you a drink which is not really acceptable.

We called the hotel in advance and spoken to guest relation regarding our request of both rooms next to each other and close to the lift as my mother has limited moving disability which was completely ignored by the hotel management .

but they would look at other guests as if they had ten heads when requests were being made.

until the evening when the so called disco started this was far too loud we asked him to turn it down a little as it was too loud for the children  the dj was very rude and bolshie  thank you anne Jamie and nuray you all made our holiday one to remember

Only once at the dinner someone asked us if we want anything to drink.

but only fish 😭 There are too little choice at the snack bar, mini bar has bottle of water (we got 4 soft drinks in the fridge on the first day but never be filled after that, it is fine as u can request at the bar but it would be nice to be able to drink on your own balcony sometimes.

We had asked for a sea view and weren't disappointed with that - we had one of the 'shabby chic' rooms which was nice .. we did have to move after the first night as unfortunately our room was right over the speaker for the outdoor entertainment which wasn't pleasant.

I think he was customer manager who is welcoming people was very very rude and disrespectful .

however the guy that actually checked us is was very rude and gave us absolutely no information whatsoever, so that wasn't a great start, and again bad customer relations.

Cons, Poor reception staff a language barrier is no excuse for a miserable rude attitude.

The majority of staff are very rude and hardly speak English.

The views are amazing the pools are nice 
The food is basic through the day hot dogs burgers pizza etc 
Mediocre foods are night, very hard fruit 
Staff actually ask for money (tips) and cigarettes 
Not very professional 
Not that clean , steps to the kids pools are green with stagnant water , old beds about , mattresses etc
Room never got cleaned or fridge topped up 
Kind of flat being English we came last in service and certain members of staff extremely rude.

The reception staff were less than helpful barely spoke English and very rude.

The accommodation is rubbish, it is incredibly noisy at night so don't expect sleep, the reception staff are so very rude, the bar staff ridicule you and only the Spa Team are any good - Dr Sahin, Ferdi and their team from the Spa should run the place.

rude bar staff that snigger and laugh when you order drinks 
all watered down and fake brands real brands have to be paid for and your greeted with a snigger and a shrug- 
things hanging of the walls at every turn 
efes is the safest option

The waiters were rude and had you waiting a long time when you went to the bar (Turkish guests served first).

Bar service > Dire ! Some Bar staff were rude & on the make (  trying to charge us when it should have been free !!)

One bar staff member who worked on the dream bar, think his name was Mostafa, was so rude and arrogant.

I felt some of guests were extremely rude to staff, just by paying few hundred pounds for a weeks holiday doesn't entitle us to treat others as slaves.

Disgusting room - filthy communal areas  not cleanedfor the whole week - food not fit for pigs - ignorant rude staff - poor selection of awful drinks that were reluctantly served - filthy cushions to sit on - children's pool and indoor pool filthy who knows what you might catch from the Cloudy filthy water -You had to Help yourself to leftover deserts in the pattiserrie?

From a most  uninviting  bar serving only brandy, Whisky, gin and vodka (the only spirits) by rude bar staff (no waiter service)  to the most uninviting restaurant serving an extremely limited menu, namely cold soup, cold stew, cold chips and salad for lunch and for dinner.

And very rude she even went off cring because she couldn't understand were she was going wrong.. Well when we went up to the rooms we were put on the third floor the walkway to the room is made out of wood and some nails did not feel safe got in the rooms I had blood of the curtains up te wall I don't normally look the stuff like that

The shop lady is embarrassingly rude and uninterested.

At 12.30 I spoke to Ozlem, who once again was rude and abrupt, and I was told to come back at 4.30.

Amazing time, what can I say more, amazing staff, amazing barmans, amazing games (darts, shows, beer pongs).

Nice Hotel, great Infinitypool, most of the Time the Team did a good Job.

Thank you to all the staff who are courteous and helpful.

THANKYOU  BLUE DREAMS for the best holiday ever.

Fantastic holiday as a couple, the animation team in particular couldn’t do enough for me!

We loved our waiter Abdurahman ( Wojtek) he was our angel,
Fatma the menager is amaizing , and the main Manager Burak wa so helpfull and nice.

Ege and entertainment team great, bar staff lovley and great views, rooms a**** 
Town close by taxi 
Drinks good 
Lovely beach 
Cleaning staff helpful
Welcomng and clean 
Food ok

Customer service at reception was dreadful.Its a big resort and you were expected to find your room and no info about hotel facilities.English is not widely spoken and the reception manager kept standing outside for a fag break!

Entertainment team is very active.They have beautiful dances and funny activities.I loved the views of the hotel also our room has a great view.The hotel is so close to Bodrum city center.

The animation team have been brilliant, they are lots of fun and make you feel so welcome!

This hotel is one of the Best hotels I have ever visited.Food is great.Ambiance and environment in here is perfect.Weather is so good not so hot Just like I want.Also all the staff are so kind.I Will certainly Come Back.

The entertainment team is practically nonexistent.

There are many excursions available, I went on the Sebastian boat trip which was a fabulous day out and recommended.

I came to Blue Dreams on a relaxing girls trip and this hotel didn’t disappoint.

I stayed in this hotel for 15 days and I had an amazing trip.

I forgot to mention We loved all the water sports and boat trips they provided at the resort.

Depending on the type of person you are, you could have the best trip of your life or a really horrible experience, and of course anything in between.

The boat trips, fishing trips, jet skiing, ringo’s and much much more.

The Spa and Water Sports here are great, highly recommend the boat trip and ringo/tubing and jet skis!!

Also our rep Gus who was always there to help with queries and got us a dream private boat trip.

We booked some trips with gurcan of which one was awful (the market) and one was amazing (island boat trip)

I'll 100% be back again :) Thanks for a wonderful trip and the memories guys ♡

He also booked a boat trip for us which I throughly enjoyed and can’t recommend it enough!

Unfortunately this was our first trip to Turkey and won't be returning any time soon.

This was a special trip for my father-in-laws 70th birthday and there were 14 of us on this holiday to celebrate.

We hired jet skis out twice & booked a boat trip from the water sports man on the beach.

Also thomson and Gavin (the rep) have great excursions available like the Dalyan trip which would be recommended.

Sammy's trip into Bodrum with a meal in his Chinese restaurant was a pleasant change.

Other positives for the holiday listed:
swimming pools (plenty to choice from felt like you were in a different resort at each one), food, drinks, freshly made pancakes, water sports (you need to barter with JJ), boat trip (with JJ), photographer (we had photos don't they were amazing) evening shows - great variety, brilliant location, nice rooms and mostly friendly staff,
Overall we had a great time met some great people and made some memories will definitely be returning.

The boys enjoyed a banana boat ride, the eldest a jet ski ride and we went in a nice day long boat trip from there.

Reviews said hotel needed maintenance and better wifi

Only mp3 music
Water leaking in bathroom
Very very poor wifi signal

The free wifi in our room and at the main restaurant was a bit spotty.

Wifi needs to be available all over the resort, tea and coffee facilities need to be replenished on a daily basis, all rooms should have an iron and ironing board, in this day and age this should all be standard.

The wi-fi was only accessible is a couple of places, you couldn't get it in your room, and only in a couple of other places, and as my husband had to do some work whilst away this was a real hindrance.

-there was one bed in the room and the three of us slept on the same bed and there was no wi-fi in the room.

- indoor pool CLOSED
- WIFI was not available around the entire resort.

The only negative thing in this hotel is internet.

The WiFi was terrible and barely worked in the rooms.

The wifi is not free throughout the resort.

The wifi was only in the reception and not in the rooms ( you had to pay for it) - in 2017 it's unacceptable.

Internet is provided only at lobby and tea garden, if u wanna use internet in ur room, 25 Euro per week for one gadget which is very expensive.

But the service was poor, wifi only at the lobby.

- Only wifi in lobby and tea  garden and isn't good as everyone is using it.

The disco was empty every night with bad music
This is the first resort that only has 2 designated areas for wifi and

After breakfast it was time to explore, we needed wifi to contact England

Just returned after 2 weeks at Tropicana Beach,
Staff are amazing, everything is clean, food is very good, great atmosphere, very friendly and relaxing,
Personally I don’t normally visit in the high season due to temperatures and lots of children

Receptionist sugar is so friendly and chatty staff are helpful.

The bar serves drinks in glasses which we liked as much more environmentally friendly than other places we’ve stayed.

but they are friendly giants and looked after by locals and tourists.

The staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly if they tried and we felt we received exceptional service.

but had everything you would need .Maid came daily so apartment kept lovely and clean , and a nice balcony with a view of the pool .All staff extremely friendly and on hand to provide anything you might need .

All the staff are really friendly and willing to help with anything you need.

The staff are incredibly friendly and the rooms immaculately clean.

These boys took care of us every day
Reception and the gardenman as well very friendly

Nice beach next to the hotel.

Staff all amazing and very friendly, food is lovely we had breakfast most days snacks at lunchtime and some lovely evening meals.

Always so so friendly, accommodating and remember your orders etc.

The staff were so friendly, kind and helpful from the reception staff and manager to bar and waiting staff and cleaners, they were all so helpful and interested in chatting.

but still had a friendly, warm welcome from the reception lady.

All the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help.

All the staff from reception, maintenance, bar staff/waiters, cleaners & pool/beach maintenance are lovely, friendly, and very respectful.

Staff fighting 
Food no choice and half board customers have to order off a different menu veg on the menu doesn't exist everything comes with chips or rice
On arrival put in a basement room next to staff room
If spending a lot of money at the bar they can't do enough for you if not they hardly speak
Dogs roaming around the hotel grounds
The pool is fat too deep for children no shallow end I am just over five feet and could not touch the floor
Alltogethet not a place I would go back to

It had that end of season feel of being unloved, a bit grubby with a lot of stray dogs.

If you don't like dogs & cats this isnt the place for you as they are everywhere.

but honestly there were no hassle or harm so don't worry if anyone mentions about stray dogs.

but you can get some great bargains and they always come down with price.Also there are a lot of stray dogs which don't bother you but being a animal lover was a little disturbing  but we were assured they are looked after.

but not least there are the dogs and cats.

but they might if you don't particularly like dogs.

Cats and dogs freely allowed to roam through hotel and beg for food when you eating in hotel, staff don't seem that bothered.

there is a lot of cats and dogs that also follow you about and not great when you are sitting down to a meal.

The only thing that lets the area down is the litter which is everywhere and the stray dogs which wont bother you

but a bit shabby and some litter along the way, but nonetheless it's nice but just beware of the restaurants and bars hassling you to come in, it's a BIG pet hate of mine getting pestered, I like to see how the place looks and how busy it is before I decide where il eat, as they all offer very very similar menus.

We also noticed that the hotel next door (Siesta) even serves it's customers food on the beach which this hotel doesn't and it's not ideal to leave your towel on the beach whilst going for lunch, especially when you see the stray dogs urinating everywhere (including the sea).

The local area is full of stray dogs, there is also dog mess on the beach along with lots of litter.

Resort:
The beach in front isn't very clean - wild dogs peeing up all the trees and some rude man from the hotel perving on the pink chavs.

The stray dogs (and cows) did seem to be everywhere

Where the hotel is located in the resort we walked past the dirtiest Beach ever, dog mess everywhere stray dogs, cats and even cows on the last night yes cows!!!

Memorable moments:
 sharing the beach with the delightful, placid stray dogs( cared for by the authorities and fed and watered by the locals) didn't see one bit of mess.

Initially we were given two poor rooms, one right at the front which was so noisy and one downstairs 106 which smelt of sewage.

The kitchen was very poor with the fridge rusty and generally very old.

Avoid Charlie near to AJ as he was a bit of a shark and I had heard poor reviews from others who had felt mis-sold.

Won't be going back due to really poor manager

We ate at at few places Mistral was very poor and run down

Hotel wifi is poor and only works in the pool area, room size and decor is terrible, and the beds and sheets were disgusting as there were bugs in the room.
