Hotel Review: Alkoclar Boutique Hotel, Torba, Bodrum Peninsula, Turkey: 13th-16th July 2012

It's Curbappeal:
- Picture perfect location; right on the sea, beautiful lush grounds
- Atmosphere: relaxed - this decor normally brings a pretentious crowd, not here
- Vibe enhanced music (tended to be chilled Western Lounge & Turkish)

Style rating: white-on-white chic

Crowd: predominantly Turkish, with a sprinkling of Europeans. Families & couples.

Cuisine: food all inclusive and quite average. Breakfast: basic (Turkish plate, omelette & cereals). Lunch & dinner: Western bias; salads, fish & meat dishes.

Food rating: meh

Our room: 104. Suite. White on white retro chic. Mirror above bed (hmm!).

The bill: reasonable

Recommended: most definitely. whilst food may disappoint don't fear there's Gonca <300m away (look out for it on our blog soon)
