Solana By Yelken

Hotel Highlights

• This 4-star All Inclusive spot keeps things easy with a smart new look and a laidback beach-holiday vibe.

• You are literally by the beach here, with the hotel sitting 0m from its private section on a public sandy beach. Beach days do not get more effortless than that.

• With just 126 rooms across 3 floors, Solana By Yelken keeps things friendly and easygoing rather than mega-resort hectic.

• There is a swimming pool with a kids section, a fitness centre and a roster of low-key daytime entertainment, so you can do as much or as little as you fancy.

• Expect fun extras like a weekly Turkish Night, live music and a dance show for those evenings when you are feeling a bit more main character.

Location

• This place is right in Turgutreis, so you are 0km from the resort centre and perfectly placed for easy wanders, beach hangs and sunset snaps.

• Bodrum is 18km away if you fancy swapping chilled seaside scenes for a bigger dose of bars, shops and nightlife.

• The hotel is around 53km from Bodrum Airport, making it a solid pick for a beach break without the marathon transfer energy.

• You have a sandy beach right on your doorstep, plus watersports nearby if lying still for too long is not really your thing.

Rooms

• Standard Rooms come with land views and around 22 to 26m² of space, giving you a comfy crash pad between beach sessions and buffet trips.

• Family Rooms are more spacious at around 35m² and include bunk beds, ideal if you are travelling with the crew or the fam.

• In-room essentials include Wi-Fi, satellite TV, air conditioning, a safety box, telephone, hairdryer, shower, mini fridge and either a balcony or French balcony.

• A few fridge perks are thrown in too, with soft drinks on arrival plus complimentary water on arrival and daily water replenishment.

• Rooms are cleaned daily, while bed linen and towels are changed three times a week, so you can keep things fresh without lifting a finger.

Food & Drink

• The All Inclusive setup covers your meals, snacks and local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from 10:00 to 23:00, which is very much the holiday sweet spot.

• Main Restaurant buffets keep things simple with breakfast, late breakfast, lunch and dinner, so there is always something lined up when hunger hits.

• Pool Bar snacks run from 12:30 to 17:00, followed by coffee, cake and cookies from 17:00 to 18:00, because peak holiday behaviour includes eating between meals too.

• Booked for a week? You get one free à la carte dinner during your stay, which is a nice excuse to level up one evening.

• There is even a night soup service from 23:00 to 00:00 for those late-night I need something salty moments.

• A few things cost extra, including import drinks, fresh juices, energy drinks and bottled drinks, plus all drinks at the Pool Bar between 23:00 and 00:00.

Sports & Entertainment

• The swimming pool is the daytime star, complete with a kids section and plenty of sunbeds, sunshades and mattresses for full-on lounging mode.

• If you like to keep moving, there is a fitness centre plus ping pong, darts, backgammon and chess for easy holiday competition.

• Entertainment stays nicely chilled with soft daytime animation, plus a weekly Turkish Night, live music and a dance show.

• The spa side of things includes a sauna, Turkish bath and relaxing area, while massages, scrubs and wellness treatments are available for an extra charge.

• Beach towels are available with a deposit, and watersports are on hand for an extra charge if you fancy swapping poolside chilling for something splashier.
