Venosa Beach Resort & Spa

Second year in a row attending this hotel and just as impressed as the first visit. The food has been excellent every day along with the service. The staff in general have been very friendly and welcoming. Our family will be returning in the future. Bathrooms could do with an update to gain 5 star for rooms. Spoke with the chef a couple of times and complimented him on his work with regards to the food.

3-Star Review We had a lovely stay at Venosa Spa & Hotel, and there were definitely some great highlights. The hotel itself is beautiful, the food was amazing, and the restaurants, including the à la carte options, were excellent. The pools and waterpark were fantastic, and the spa was also amazing with treatments at very reasonable prices. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, check-in was quick and easy, and our room was large and a good size. Unfortunately, there were also quite a few things that let the stay down, which is why I’ve given it 3 stars. The beach was a major disappointment. It’s very rocky, with sharp rocks that made getting into the sea uncomfortable and difficult. The cleanliness of the rooms also needs improvement. During our stay, the cleaners essentially only made the beds. The floors were dirty, the balcony floor wasn’t cleaned, and the bathroom towels weren’t changed daily. The beach towels were also dirty and stained, which really shouldn’t be the case at a hotel of this standard. There were also very limited gluten-free food options, which was disappointing and made meals more difficult than they needed to be. Overall, Venosa has a lot going for it — fantastic pools, waterpark, spa, food and spacious rooms — but the cleanliness and beach experience need significant improvement. With better housekeeping, cleaner towels and more suitable food options, this could be a much better experience.

Beautiful hotel with great potential. Venosa Beach is a pleasant hotel with clean rooms, stunning sea views, a fantastic aquapark, a strong entertainment team and an excellent spa. The staff are generally friendly and clearly do their best. The beach is clean and pleasant. More modern and colourful sun loungers would further enhance its appearance and better match the style of the hotel. The beach towels are gradually in need of replacement and could be slightly thicker and more luxurious. The toilets near the restaurant could also be larger and more modern. The entrance lobby could benefit from modernisation and an upgrade. When arriving at a five-star hotel, you expect a certain “wow effect”. At present, the lobby lacks some atmosphere, decoration and warmth. The cookies and drinks provided are a positive touch; chilled water with lemon, mint or cucumber would be a lovely and healthy addition. As I also speak Turkish, I occasionally overhear conversations between staff members who may not realise that I understand them. On a few occasions, I heard employees criticising or blaming one another over relatively minor matters during working hours. In my opinion, such discussions should not take place in the presence of guests. Professional communication and a clear internal division of responsibilities would certainly help. Even in the garden maintenance, there are small details where modernisation and closer supervision could be beneficial. Some trees have been pruned in a rather unusual way – almost funny to see 😊. Certainly not a major issue, but it is precisely these small details that contribute to the overall appearance of a five-star hotel. A special word of thanks to Mine at reception, the housekeeping staff, the entire entertainment team, the Kids Club and the spa team. Your efforts are noticed and greatly appreciated. Travellers should bear in mind that the journey from Bodrum Airport to the hotel takes approximately two hours. Overall, I believe the hotel could benefit from modernisation in several areas and stricter organisational supervision. With targeted investments and greater attention to small details, this hotel absolutely has the potential to move into a higher and more luxurious segment. Overall, we are having a pleasant stay and hope that these points for improvement will be taken into consideration constructively. KR Beltur S Amelia – Persoons

Came here 16 July 12 night stay family of 6 4 adults 2 children .This hotel is really nice clean and had a brilliant atmosphere. All the staff were really good. Bar staff on all the bars were great. Food really good all day long.Great tattoo studio and artists the studio is spotless thanks for a great holiday met loads of lovley people staff and customers 😀

Great animation team, but not the 5-star standard I expected I would like to start with the positives. The animation team were absolutely amazing and, in my opinion, one of the best things about the hotel. They were friendly, energetic and made a real effort to keep guests entertained throughout the stay. The bar staff were also very nice, welcoming and friendly. However, unfortunately, I do not feel that the hotel meets the standard I would expect from a 5-star hotel. The food in the main restaurant was one of the biggest disappointments. The selection was very repetitive, with only a few minor changes from day to day. After staying for several days, it felt like we were eating the same food over and over again. The snack bar was also the same every day. I think there should be more variety, with the menu changing at least 2–3 times a week to give guests more choice. The cleanliness and housekeeping in the rooms also did not meet the standard expected from a 5-star hotel. Most days, the staff would simply make the beds, with very little else being done. The minibar was not regularly restocked, and when our water ran out, it was not replaced. Basic items were not consistently replenished, and overall, the room did not feel properly cleaned or maintained. I also found the reception staff to be quite uninformative.During our stay, we were not aware that we had the option to dine at one of the hotel’s other restaurants on one of the days. The reception staff did not inform us about this, so unfortunately we missed the opportunity to use something that was included in our stay. I would expect reception staff at a 5\-star hotel to properly explain all the facilities, services and benefits available to guests upon arrival I unfortunately expected much more from a hotel advertised as 5-star. With improvements to the food variety, snack bar, housekeeping and room service, I believe the hotel could provide a much better experience and come closer to the standard guests would expect from a 5-star property.
