Exceptional location and well worth a visi

Review of Xanadu Island
Reviewed Oct 8, 2023
We have just come back from a 7 day break with Indugent Escapes to Xanadu Island, nr Bodrum. The entire experience has been exceptional.

From checking in at Manchester, flight, fastest turnaround ever in an airport at Bodrum, private transfer to the hotel, drinks and shopping vouchers for the flights, and back and the hotel itself, - oh my word. The hotel is sensational. The location is to die for.

We had a free room upgrade and the rooms and views were sensational. Hotel facilities and food extremely good and everything was high end and nothing was too much trouble. Free room service, NO security wrist bands, good variety of food at different pools and bars. Everything in every details is just simply, done right!

ALL the staff, without exception, were pleasant, helpful and good English. If you needed anything, ask and it was done or provided. Everything was in simple , clean and easy access. The entire island was spotless.

Day shopping in Bodrum arranged privately, with just a taxi ride was great and some good bargains on Turkish originals.

Boat trip ride arranged on site with the watersports element of the hotel was fantastic, and we hired the boat privately for 3 hrs with just 6 of us for only 300 euros. food and drinks included and 3 to 4 chances to swim. snorkel. Fab trip and much better value than some of the boats were saw which were packed and noisy. Private boat for 6 at that price was a bargain and service much more personal.

Some of our party were Turkey first timers and one had never done an all inclusive previously. We met a few that go regularly and they all had the same experience year on year, so this tells you most of what you need to know.

Absolutely nothing we could fault about the hotel or indulgent escapes ands all our party would highly recommend and rebook.

We are regular visitors to the other Xanadu hotel (in Antalya) but thought we would treat ourselves to a stay at the Xanadu Island, as no younger family members joining us on this trip. However, we were very sadly disappointed! Hotel location is wonderful with stunning views on 3 sides. Suite was large and well furnished. Beach was great, as were pools etc. Bars were all excellent and waiters did their best to keep everyone topped up with drinks and snacks, both during the day and evenings. However, this hotel is sadly let down by extremely poor customer service. The house keeping in our room was, at best, poor. Mini-bar service was virtually non-existent. Reception and Guest Relation staff were abrupt and unhelpful and when we had several issues with our room it took more than one attempt to get any resolution, with no apologies. The biggest disappointment, however, was the food. The menu in the main buffet restaurant was extremely repetitive and there was very little variation in the dishes offered from day to day. Due to reduced opening of both a-la-carte restaurants, availability here was severely limited and bookings hard to come by. Shall we be returning? Most likely not! It will be back to the Xanadu Resort for us, where they know how to keep their guests happy!

Just returned from our first visit to this amazing hotel. Everything was perfect from the room, staff, food and facilities provided. The lady that cleaned our room was superb, we spent our days around the smaller pool and the guys behind the bar were excellent. On my husbands birthday he was left flowers, an amazing cake and bubbles chilling for our return from a day trip. Plenty of choice for food and all of a good quality. There is also a book library should you run out of something to read, I ordered a book from my sunbed around the pool, it was delivered with the delicious cocktail that I had ordered. We will definitely be returning as it was the best holiday we have ever had. Thank you to everyone at Xanadu for making our holiday sheer bliss.

This is our 5th visit to Xanadu and it never fails to please
Great staff , great rooms and a huge selection on food
Noticed review moaning about cold plates at barbecue , heated plates are always available so maybe should look better .
Was recommended this hotel several years ago by a family member and I am so glad they did .
Great service on beach and round pool , very pro-active
We continue to recommend this hotel to friends and family and will be back soon

Room tip: Relax and enjoy

Hotel location, cleanliness and room cleaners superb defo 5* views from every part of the island were stunning and security excellent.
Bar staff in all bars could not fault always attentive with a smile and although no English spoken had a laugh communicating
Restaurant……… monotonous food, if you don’t like Ragout. Sautéed food in oil. Stews forget it. BBQ food cold and that is collecting sit down and eat. Salads - many ways of serving lettuce. Toms.cucumber together and desperately no wonder the salad bar was an 3rd of the restaurant offering. Often overlooked if you wanted a drink sometimes felt we were invisible. Breakfast standard and best part of the day.
The Restaurant evening meals put a dampener on the whole stay and is at best 3* did not look forward to an evening meal.
Overall lovely hotel but would not come back as an evening meal on holiday should be an occasion and even though there for 14 nights could not get in the a la carte even trying to book day in advanced as we had to do.
Overall disappointing

This is our 2nd visit to this beautiful Island. As before m, everything is 5 star as expected. The spacious and clean rooms with magnificent views, sunrises, sunsets….friendly hardworking staff, absolutely delicious food every day.. breakfast, lunch, dinner ( 65 different desserts each day!) We absolutely love the food, the chef is doing an amazing job day after day providing us with everything we want! He/She deserves a big round of applause! 👏🏻 The food is always warm and delicious by the way!!!

To those people who complain about food.. a little word of advice….. don’t walk around with your plate!! Dish up, sit down and eat it! This way it won’t get cold and you won’t moan afterwards! Don’t blame the hotel for your own stupidity.

Thank you Xanadu for another great holiday (we are still here by the way!) - we will be returning again next year! I’ve heard that one of guests has been here 18 times, I got to beat that record! 😄

We definitely recommend this beautiful hotel! Heaven! 🌴❤️✈️

Special thanks to Halil, Tarik, Yesim and Nesligul hanim and all the pool staff. They are all amazing.

See you next year Xanadu ….. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for more live music!!! 🎵🎵🎵

Room tip: Be nice to staff and staff will be nice to you! 😃
