Escape to Paradise: Unveiling the Luxurious Susona Bodrum
Escape to Paradise: Susona Bodrum - My Chaotic, Luxurious Confession
Okay, let's be real. Writing a hotel review that’s actually useful, not just some corporate drone spewing platitudes, is HARD. But after my recent trip to the Susona Bodrum, I have to spill the tea. This place… it’s a LOT. In the best, and occasionally most hilariously overwhelming, way. So grab a double espresso (or maybe a Turkish coffee, you are in Bodrum), and let's dive in. This is my honest, raw, and probably-too-detailed take.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, the Moment I Almost Ate It)
Getting to the Susona? Relatively easy, thankfully. Airport transfer was smooth (airport transfer is a godsend), the winding roads of Bodrum a little less so. Driving is… well, let’s just say I’m glad I wasn't behind the wheel. But hey, valet parking is ready to collect your car!
Accessibility: Now, this is where things got interesting. The hotel says it's accessible (Facilities for disabled guests), but I'm not relying on this information, unless you know it's accessible, it's not good for you. The walkways are beautiful but in a place of steep hills and steps. The elevator is your friend. It's a real mixed bag, honestly. The elevator saved me multiple times.
Check-in/out [express] is available: Okay, let me tell you, contactless check-in/out is a life-saver. I’ll let you imagine the chaos of my arrival… Let's just say I almost face-planted on the way in.
The Room: My Tiny Kingdom of Bliss (and Mild Panic)
Let’s talk rooms! My room (a Non-smoking one, thank god) was a haven. Air conditioning definitely crucial. You've got all the basics: A bed that swallowed me whole (Extra long bed, people! Finally!), a desk (for pretending to work), a coffee maker (essential), a mini-bar (temptation city!), and a private bathroom that was basically a spa in itself.
Internet Access: From Frustration to Freedom
Okay, listen. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and the stuff you need. I mean, you’re still going to get patchy reception in the more remote areas. It’s the internet, you know? The internet [LAN] option was there. I could have used the internet access – wireless too.
Dining: A Culinary Adventure (Sometimes a Little Too Adventurous)
The Susona boasts quite the culinary scene. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was amazing. I loved this! You can have Breakfast [buffet]. The Breakfast takeaway service is life-saving for those early morning excursions or late-night hunger cravings. I was particularly obsessed with the coffee/tea in restaurant.
The Spa: Where I Melted into a puddle of Bliss (and Maybe Snored a Little)
Okay, this is where the Susona really shines. The Spa. The Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath, Massage, everything. I booked a Body scrub and a Body wrap and it was sublime. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book at least one treatment. I'm not even kidding, I’m not a spa person, but this was like… being reborn. I swear I fell asleep during my massage and drooled. It was that good.
Things to Do (Besides Napping in a Robe)
Besides the spa, you've got the Swimming pool and the Swimming pool [outdoor]. The Pool with view is stunning, especially at sunset. The Fitness center is well-equipped. Also, don't forget to just wander around. Bodrum is beautiful.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Sanitization Gauntlet
The Susona takes hygiene seriously. The rooms are Rooms sanitized between stays. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas and all that jazz. Hand sanitizer everywhere. They even had a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit. It’s reassuring, but also a little… intense.
The Stuff I Didn't Get to Try (But I'm Definitely Coming Back For)
There was so much more to explore. The Kids facilities and the Babysitting service.
The Verdict: Chaotic, but Oh-So Worth It
Look, the Susona Bodrum isn't perfect. It can be a little overwhelming at times. But it's luxurious. It's beautiful. It's an escape. It's the kind of place where you can lose yourself in a good book, a great massage, or a plate of delicious food. For all of the imperfections, every little bit of hassle, i will go back.

Susona Bodrum: The Itinerary of a Slightly-Mad-But-Well-Meaning Tourist
Day 1: Arrival and a Whole Lotta "Wow"
Morning (Approx. 10:00 AM, but who's really counting?): Land at Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV). The air practically shimmers with the promise of vacation, and I swear I felt a tiny, smug smile creep onto my face as I breezed through customs (okay, maybe the customs officer wasn't thrilled with my enthusiasm, but hey, I'm here!). Now, the transfer to Susona. I’ve read about these transfers, everyone raves about the service. Now, finding the right car in the mayhem of the airport - it took an extra half-hour, the driver wasn't the friendliest dude, and my luggage nearly rolled down a hill. (Note to self: pack lighter next time).
Late Morning (11:30AM -ish): Finally, the drive. The scenery unfolds before my eyes: olive groves, those gorgeous turquoise waters, the whole shebang. As the car pulls into Susona, I gasp. Honestly, the place is even more stunning than the photos. The lobby is all breezy white and panoramic views. The check-in? Surprisingly smooth, despite my questionable Turkish attempts.
Afternoon (1:00PM): The room! Oh, the room! It's got a private terrace, direct access to a plunge pool (yes, I will be spending a shameful amount of time there), and a view that could make a cynical travel writer weep. Which, for the record, I almost did. The little welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch, which I quickly downed to calm the initial excitement.
Early Afternoon (2:00PM): Lunch at Malva Restaurant. The menu has the most mouth-watering options. Ordering was a bit difficult, considering the staff's more limited English. I ended up pointing at things, and thankfully, the food was divine. The sea bass was so fresh it practically jumped off the plate. The view? Unbeatable. This place oozes luxury.
Late Afternoon (3:30 PM): A wander around the resort. I'm immediately drawn to the beach. The sand is unbelievably soft, and the water is crystal clear. A few laps in the water. I took some amazing photos here.
Evening (7:00 PM): Drinks at Frankie Beach Club - the ultimate Bodrum sunset spot. Cocktails were a bit pricey (they always are!), but the atmosphere was electric. I felt the need to strike up a conversation with a fellow traveler, but I think I had a bit too much sun and fell asleep mid-sentence. Oops.
Night (9:00 PM): Dinner at Frankie Beach Club. More food, more drinks (duh), and the music and vibes picked up as the night went on. I danced a little, I met a few new friends, and I may or may not have accidentally ordered a second dessert when I was already full. (Don't judge me, the baklava was calling my name!) Ended the night stargazing on the beach. Magical.
Day 2: Diving Deep (Figuratively and Literally)
Morning (9 AM): Breakfast at Malva restaurant. The Turkish breakfast spread is an absolute feast. I piled my plate high with everything – olives, cheeses, pastries, and way too much honey. It feels incredible to start the day here.
Mid-morning (10:30 AM): I'm doing a scuba diving trip! This is going to be a total leap of faith for me because I'm usually scared of everything with a fin. The boat ride was a bit bumpy, but hey, adventure! The instructor was super patient (thank god), but I had to keep my composure as I descended into the water. I even saw a sea turtle!
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Post-diving, I was hungry. Lunch - a well-deserved plate of grilled octopus – back at the resort. It was grilled to perfection. This is what I like about this place - you can just pop and get an amazing meal.
Afternoon (3:30 PM): Spa time! A couples' massage. The spa is gorgeous, and the massage therapists were skilled and professional. I emerged feeling like a limp noodle of bliss.
Evening (7:30 PM): Dinner at a traditional Turkish restaurant in Bodrum town: I took a taxi to a restaurant recommended by a local. The ambiance was gorgeous and the food. I found some amazing Turkish food here. Everything was so flavorful and fresh.
Night (10:00 PM): Stroll around Bodrum harbor: I walked along the harbor with a gelato. I'm a sucker for pretty lights and boats.
Day 3: Goodbye, For Now?
Morning (9:00 AM): A final breakfast feast. I savored every bite, knowing that this deliciousness was about to end. The staff, by this point, knew my order.
Mid-Morning (10:30 AM): Poolside lounging. I worked on my tan, read a book, and contemplated whether I could somehow convince the hotel to let me stay forever. (Probably not, right?).
Afternoon (12:30 PM): Last lunch at Malva. Honestly, I was sad to leave. The place is just so lovely.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Check-out. Smooth, efficient, and accompanied by a wave of sadness. I've been living the good life.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): The drive to the airport. I replay the best moments, vowing to return to Susona Bodrum as soon as humanly possible. The driver was more pleasant this time, which was nice. My luggage once again made a valiant effort to escape, but this time I was prepared.
Final Thoughts:
Susona Bodrum: 10/10 would absolutely recommend. Sure, there were a few hiccups (the luggage, my questionable attempts at speaking Turkish, the slightly-too-much baklava), but that's what makes the experience real. The beauty, the service, the vibe—it's all unforgettable. I’m already saving up for my return trip. Maybe next time, I'll learn to scuba dive without completely panicking. Maybe.
