The location, the beach, the water and especially the staff are truly excellent. The property is very clean. Downtown Bodrum is super close — just the shortest boat or taxi ride away. Excellent drinks at the bar. Nice waffles. On-demand espresso beverages. Lots going for Azka, one of the veteran establishments in Bodrum.
We have been going to Azka since before it was an all-inclusive hotel. It used to be great back then. The main issue now is the food.
With the all-inclusive setup, the quality of the food has plummeted. We struggled to find good food at the buffet, which is setup for three meals. Clearly, the management prioritized quantity and variety over quality. Some stuff was surprisingly bad. Like, how did they get flavorless tomatoes in the middle of summer? In Turkey? Omelettes were overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside. Breakfast meats were borderline inedible. They did an ok job with rice and stews, but do you want to eat rice and stewed meat during summer vacation? Bottom line: nothing that would give you food poisoning or anything, but basically nothing delicious.Also, there was a gratuitous use of coconut in deserts. Basic things, like pumpkin desert had coconut underneath.
