Spektr Boutique Hotel is the pool-lover pick in Yalıkavak, on the western side of the peninsula. It has seven room types, from garden-view standard rooms of around 215 square feet to sea-view luxury suites of around 646 square feet and family rooms with two bedrooms, and the hotel is labelled a luxury property. Four outdoor pools and a rooftop pool are the main draw, along with two restaurants, La Lara and Mynos Seafood and More, two bars, a gym, a billiards table, a garden and a terrace. Rooms have air conditioning, free wifi, a kettle, an espresso maker and a limited free minibar. It suits couples and families who want a stylish resort-like stay close to the Yalıkavak marina.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Geris district of Yalıkavak. Yalıkavak Beach is about four minutes by car and the marina about 19 minutes on foot, with some other distance figures a little shorter, so check the walk on a map. Bodrum Marina and the castle are around 21 minutes away by car and Türkbükü about the same.
The airport is roughly an hour by car, and the hotel can arrange a round-trip airport shuttle on request for a fee per vehicle. Parking on site is limited, so ask in advance if you are driving.
The rooms
The Standard Room with garden view sleeps two, the Deluxe Room with sea view is around 269 square feet, the Family Room with garden view has two bedrooms and sleeps four, and the Luxury Suite with sea view is the most spacious. Beds are king or large twins, and there are sofa beds in some suites. Rooms include a minibar with a limited selection of free items, and limited room service.
Pools and dining
The pools are open in the daytime and are seasonal, closed in winter and open from April to October. A cooked-to-order breakfast is served in the morning for an extra charge. La Lara serves in the evening and Mynos focuses on seafood, so you can eat on site without leaving the property.
Who it suits
Couples, friends and families who like to stay by the pool. Dogs are accepted for a daily fee, with a limit of one small dog per room. The hotel has quiet hours at night and does not allow on-site parties or group events, so it is a calmer choice than the beach clubs. The minimum check-in age is 18.
Good to know
Check-in begins at 2 pm and check-out is before noon. Payment is by card. Because the pools close in winter, check what is open on your dates when you book.
