Caresse, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Bodrum

Adnan Menderes Cad. No: 89 Asarlik Mevkii / Bodrum, 48400 Bitez, Turkey
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Caresse – I mean, Bodrum’s gotten pretty touristy over the years, and sometimes these luxury resorts can feel a bit soulless, you know? But this place actually surprised me. It’s tucked into this quiet stretch of Bitez (which locals will tell you is way more chill than the main Bodrum scene), and the moment you walk through those doors, there’s this immediate sense that someone really thought about every detail here.
The location on Adnan Menderes Cad is perfect if you want to be close enough to everything but not right in the middle of the madness. You’re maybe a 15-minute drive from Bodrum’s ancient castle and marina, but honestly, once you’re here, you might not want to leave. The staff – and I’m talking about everyone from the guy who parked my car to the woman who brought morning coffee – they just get it. There’s no fake smiling or over-the-top servicing; it feels genuine. The spa is where I spent way too much time (their hammam treatment is incredible, by the way), and the pools… well, let’s just say I understood why people were camped out there with their books all day. The infinity pool overlooks the Aegean, and during sunset – which happens around 7:30 in summer – it’s honestly magical. I mean, I’m not usually the type to get all swoony about hotel amenities, but this was something else.
What really sold me on Caresse, though, was how it handles the whole luxury thing without being pretentious about it. The rooms are spacious (I had a sea view that actually delivered), the beds are ridiculously comfortable, and the marble bathrooms feel indulgent without being over-designed. You know what I loved most? The little terrace off my room where I could have coffee in the morning while watching fishing boats head out – those small moments that make a place memorable. The food situation is solid too; their Mediterranean restaurant does this grilled octopus that’s probably the best I’ve had in Turkey, and breakfast on the terrace is worth waking up early for. Sure, it’s pricey (this is definitely a splurge kind of place), and during peak season in July and August, it can get pretty busy around the main pool area. But if you’re looking for that sweet spot between authentic Turkish hospitality and genuine luxury – not the flashy, Instagram-heavy kind, but the kind where everything just works seamlessly – Caresse delivers. It’s the sort of place where you’ll find yourself already planning your next visit before you’ve even checked out.

Carmine from Canada
The friendliness and approach of the staff. Their attention to detail, or assisting in any personal matter they might help with. In my case, missing luggage, bookings for restaurants or Spa, and transportation
