Levante Beach Resort
30/04/2013
We stayed here for the last week of the season, having travelled with Mark Warner many many times before. The accomodation is good, but not 5*. The food was a big disappointment as they would often run out of basic items. The food was no better than any of their other resorts, and we have nether encountered them running out of many items of food.
On the whole it was a pleasant stay only spoilt by the food issues, which hopefully will be sorted for 2013.
As is usual to Mark Warner they NEVER RESPOND TO THE CUSTOMER SURVEYS OR COMMENTS, and would do well to acknowledge the comments of their customers.

Ocean Club Beach Resort
3/02/2013
This was our first MW holiday and we had a lovely week. Our apartment was clean and comfortable with the added bonus of Sky TV so we could watch Olympics Closing Ceremony. Staff friendly, food tasty, pool great. Our boys (12 and 10 ) enjoyed the kids club particularly as there was a good group of boys staying at the same time. BUT as with so many MW clients it was the flights that nearly ruined the week. We had an 8 hour wait on the outward journey from Gatwick with the airline Small Planet, so basic that it did not even have a logo on the departure board. When you are only going for a week 's holiday, spending one of those days in the airport is a sizeable chunk of it. Information about causes for delay was non -existent and we were pretty much tearing our hair out at the end. Really annoying too as we had forked out a large chunk of money to stay at hotel the night before to catch the 0630 flight only to be told AFTER we had checked in that it was delayed by 3 hours (and then another 3, and then another 2).Not a great start to the holiday. Reading other reviews it is obviously a recurrent problem with MW hols - so MW need to make some serious efforts to sort this out.

Sea Garden Beach Resort
19/01/2013
Went to the Sea Garden for a late summer activity holiday on the basis of great first MW holiday in Sardinia in 2011 and good Trip Advisor reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and could find little wrong. This is a BIG resort in 3 parts that nestles in two bays, straddling a peninsula so there is a lot of walking and lots of STEPS! Sea Garden is run by Swiss Timeshare specialist Hapimag. Bodrum Sea Garden Village has one bay and is the timeshare half and the Sea Garden Hotel is used by MW – but is not exclusively. The MW staff really work hard to make your holiday fun and if you cannot find an activity you like in this large resort there is something wrong! The two resorts are linked by Mini Bodrum Village. Food is generally okay but the so called speciality restaurants apart from Laguna are not brilliant. Thoroughly recommend Turkish Night on Monday nights. Not many negatives to report apart from wasps (worst at breakfast), speeding vans/ buggies, some indifferent service/staff, lack of variety of bars/cocktails, limited spa hours (only 9am-6pm) and Watersports are good but shame that the waterskiing is only on the other side and I have yet to receive my RYA Certificate 4 months on! Also MW only sends out the ticket packs quite late in the day only about a week before your flights! Full 5-page review left on Trip Advisor.
