We stayed at the Asteria Bodrum with Jet2 last year. Had 3 boys with us - 1 preteen, two young adults. Will definitely go back again in the next few years. Couldn’t fault it. It looks like it’s been renamed this year to Selectum Colours Bodrum.
Private beach with jetty (could rent the huts with butler service), big pool, separate pool with a few slides (still fun for teens) and indoor pool with gym. Water sports from the beach, we had a full day boat trip with stop offs to jump in the sea and swim for around £20 each with lunch cooked on board (not great, take drinks from your minibar as chargeable) but water was lovely and encouraged to jump off top deck (with supervision) which my boys loved. Crew were always watching to check everyone was alright and took loads of mid air pics you could buy for a small cost. Real highlight of the trip.
They also stopped near a cliff so some of the more adventurous ones (mine!) could climb up and jump off.
Highly recommend the spa - had Turkish bath, massages and full body treatments for about £50 each. Amazing staff. They did a Turkish bath, massage and chocolate face mask for youngest for about £15 iirc.
Really clean rooms, we had beautiful sea views from both rooms which we didn’t pay extra for, cleaners left heart shaped petals on beds, minibar stocked stocked daily with water, soft drinks and beer. No wristbands for booze. They brought iced coffee and snacks round the pool in the afternoon but also did pancakes and ice cream from the booths on the beach.
Pool cleaner guy was constantly emptying the bins at the pool loungers so no wasps (in late June). Food was varied and fresh. Desserts looked amazing but all tasted the same (small minus) apart from the baklava, which they had many variations on, but loads of fresh fruit though. We had two a la carte meals in different restaurants (included) which was nice.
Staff always watering and looking after the grounds. Figs falling on the walkways were a bit of a hazard though!
Animation team were amazing - pool games, rapping from the stage by the pool (funny), bucking bull competitions, pool volleyball, they’d get us to play cards, boules, beach volleyball, pool exercises and swimming races first thing in the morning but not full on if we didn’t want to. Definitely would suit teens. Music was loud by the pool which we didn’t mind. Games and discos at night and also professional performances in the amphitheatre.
Always got sun loungers and could change pool towels as often as we wanted (got a card on check in for each person).
Didn’t think much of Bodrum but the marina was nice. Too much to do at the resort really so we only went for an afternoon.
Hopefully hasn’t changed too much with the new branding. Been to loads of places, some a lot more expensive, but have to say that one was one of the best.
