Hotel is very well maintained. Staff are friendly and all speak good English.
Breakfast buffet is quite good with a mix of Turkish and international dishes.
Good sea access with food and drinks service and lots of sun beds under the shade.
It is not in Bodrum town centre. However, there is a nice small marina within walking distance with lots of nice restaurant.
Recommended.

Beautiful location. The property is in okay condition. There are definitely some maintenance issues like mold on the bathroom ceiling, hot tub that doesn’t work, doors that weren’t repaired properly. The claim that this is a 5-star property is a huge stretch. The property completely empties out in the evening and looks like a ghost town. My guess it is because of insanely high prices at the dining and drink options located on premises.

We’re thoroughly enjoying this stunning waterfront property—it’s incredibly peaceful and relaxing, with breathtaking views all around. The spa is a serene retreat, featuring an exceptional Turkish Bath that adds to the experience. The local cuisine is impressively fresh and flavorful, with beautifully presented dishes that elevate every meal. Our stay has been so soothing and enjoyable that we’ve decided to extend it by another night and treat myself to a spa appointment.
Last but certainly not least, the staff have been exceptionally accommodating, professional, and responsive—always attending to our needs with genuine warmth and positive energy.
Thank you Mivara for giving us a extraordinary experience!

We stayed for five nights in Mivara. The room and facilities were excellent. The staff were very attentive and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. The breakfast was good and produce used were good quality / fresh. It is nothing new to share but the prices for buying anything from the amenity shop / services was irrationally high (x4 /5 outside) which was not a big surprise considering that you staying in a luxurious resort but worth noting.

Bodrum has so many water fronts but I wanted the north side of Bodrum because it was the perfect combination of beautiful views and swimmable clear water, and this hotel was the perfect match, blue calm water with beautiful Mountain View’s and yachts crossing.

The breakfast was perfect,

Beach restaurant has the best mushroom burger better than the ones in Texas,

Staff are friendly, Eda and the reception team.

Gorgeous location on a picture perfect bay. The hotel was extremely well kept, clean, and the room was very well appointed. Bed was comfortable, patio was very large, and the monitor touches such as espresso, complimentary water, and extra towels. The restaurants were delicious, with great food, drinks, and views. Not a single complaint :)
But the staff is what made this so amazing. They were friendly, went above and beyond, and made us feel welcome and taken care of. We will recommend this to anyone we know! Thank you Mivara!

Here are some facts:
1. 200Euro per night to accommodate a child on a 3ft wide and 5.5 ft tall chair bed. It’s just outrageous. Well, what’s the logic- it’s charge for the chair bed breakfast. Really?? 200Euro?? It’s like robbing.
2. Every time we had to call for cup and glass to drink tea or water and the housekeeping will bring it after more than an hour.
3. They claim 24/7 room service but after 5:00 am won’t deliver coffee as staff is busy preparing breakfast.
4. You can’t take coffe or tea “to-go” from breakfast.

In general the property is at a very nice location but be prepared. Their service is like. 1-star.

After spending 5 days sailing the Aegean Sea along teh coast I did not think the trip could get any better until we arrived here. We were greeted with a friendly and professional staff whose #1 aim is to please and ensure the satisfaction of our trip. Our room was gorgeous, spacious, clean, included Aqua De Parma products and the most magnificent view of the pool and sea. Hotel has an upbeat vibe for families and adults traveling without kids. As a traveler from NYC with high expectations, this hotel and its staff knocked my expectations out of the park! I hope to return soon, this time with my children!

This was probably a great resort destination when it opened back in the day. Now it is clearly struggling with operational $$ cuts. jacuzzi was out of order, room curtains were broken (unhinged from hooks), shower drain clogged. But overall, it was good. food at the cafe next to the beach is good as well. The gym is well equipped. Definitely could use a few more team members to make the operations run smoothly.

We booked a deluxe room with a sea view. We were not disappointed. The room was huge with a walk in wardrobe and a superb patio area. We had a really relaxing time and enjoyed the location very much. The breakfast buffet was very good with the option of fresh eggs. Our only criticism is that restaurant staff could be more attentive and that on arrival our bed had only been fitted with one sheet. My wife used the gym but it appeared that the batteries to both rowing machines needed changing as neither display worked. The issue with the bed was soon resolved but this and the rowing machines did perhaps show a slight lack of attention to detail. If we had not experience these minor inconveniences I would have been happy to award an excellent rating to the hotel.

Mivara is a very nice hotel with beautiful views and setting. Overall we had a very nice stay, but there is room for improvement in two areas:

Amazing vacation at Mivara Luxury Hotel

Incredible vacation, just WOW. It was exactly what we needed, total relaxation in the faithful hands of Mivara's team, from management team Meteh and Gopkhan throughout the staff Erhan, Forkan, Mert and all the wonderful team members, just amazing experience, sorry I dont remember all the names.
The hotel has a private wondeful beach, fully accessoried deck with sun beds, towel at each bed (prefection), buzzer next to each station to order food and cocktails.. 100% comfort and service with a smile.
Beds are super comfy, spacious rooms. We've taken a room (very clean) with view to the sea, the view to the riveria is just unbelievable.. There is a balcony which we used to gaze at sunsets and sunrises..
Breakfast is plentiful and the staff is working around the clock to satisfy the customer needs, fantastic service.
We've take massage and turkish scrub package, divine experience, professional team, we came out fresh.
We will definitely return to Mivara Luxury Hotel.

Only one way to describe it, Heavenly opulence.
We visited from 12th-17th Oct 2018, flying from London Stansted.
A warm welcome, a beautiful room (321), with pool and sea view, great food from room service, and the Breeze restaurant throughout our stay.
Included breakfast offers a clean layout with plenty of options. We're vegetarian and felt well catered for.
Service is excellent. There's staff to hand, but no one is under your feet.
The resort has 92 rooms, and was relaxing and quiet.
Facilities wise there's a marina deck with sun-beds, an outdoor and indoor pool, jacuzzi, Life Fitness gym, spa with sauna, steam room and hamam included in the cost.
Our deluxe room was light, spacious and airy, consisting of a king size bed, balcony with sun-beds, walk in wardrobe, security safe, large 2 person bath, toiletries, slippers, robes, and tea and coffee facilities.
Reception can order metered taxis. We spent a day in Yalikavak, 20 minute taxi journey, cost about £8.
From the resort a 10 minute walk down the hill to Gundogan village, you'll find fish and local food restaurants at really affordable prices.
We'd really like to thank all the staff for their help and attention to detail. Special thanks goes to Dilek, Gucci, Halim, Ali, Shafiq, Haluk, Elodie, Dewi and Mita.
We look forward to coming for a second visit soon.
Thank you so much.
We hope our review helps the resort and fellow travellers too.

Unpleasant Staff

The hotel has nice installations, food, and sea view. However, the staff attitude is not pleasant, it is rather arrogant and unprofessional. Upon check in, the agent made my friend and I feel we were not welcomed; we were well dressed and they made us feel like thieves. The check in agent first asked us for a paper copy of the reservation, aspect which is unnecessary for check in, when nowadays all is electronic. Additionally, he said the reservation was for only one person having into account I contacted Expedia previously, for having two people in it. Although Expedia changed the reservation change for 2 without extra charge, the hotel insisted on charging me 350 euros for my friend to enter the hotel. The staff also lacks English knowledge. This hotel lacks by far international standards, hospitality is not their forte.
