Conference in Mark Warner resort Bodrum Turkey May 2015
During the conference I was staying at the Club Med resort
in Bodrum. This was about 15-20 mins
outside Bodrum and they do offer transfers into Bodrum as it is quite isolated
from anywhere else and any restaurants and shops.
However for those liking an all inclusive holiday with
everything on site this offers everything from watersports included in the
price, it has its own private beach and there are things going on all day to
take advantage of including fitness classes, sports and activities. Accommodation is
spread out over several acres of grounds so there is a lot of walking unless
you request to be close to the reception area but this is a great resort for
the fit and active liking lots of active pursuits and with lots of lovely
food.
The staff and entertainment team were very friendly and
mostly French as Club Med is a French company but I would have no hesitation in
recommending this resort.
Whilst there, we were attending the conference at the Mark
Warner Resort which is half an hour walk down the road from this Resort. This was a huge complex but was a very nice
resort and is a similar principle to Club Med but does not include as many activities
in the price paid. This is detailed in
their brochure.
This resort and is very hilly and there are
several steps down to the beach from most of the resort and all accommodation
is very spread out. However, as long as
you are aware of this, it is also a very nice resort with lots of facilities
and sports etc on offer. They also offer
transfers to Bodrum for their customers.
The weather was in the mid 20s and very sunny. Visas are required to Turkey and must be obtained online in advance of travel and costs $20 per person valid multiple entry for 6 months.
The following is a selection of pictures taken during my stay.
