Sadly this is just the nature of the Mediterranean these days - there are very few bits of coast completely devoid of debris. The sea is wonderfully clear around the beach but even so you will see the odd piece of litter. It's swimmeable but not for long periods. If you just enjoy the odd Efes beer then you won't. If you like a lot of wine with dinner you can amass a fairly eye-popping final bill. However, re booze, Bordubet is a long way from anywhere and fuel prices in Turkey are amongst the highest in the world. There's a BP garage twenty minutes down the road stock up there. You can't drink the local water and it does seem a little exploitative to charge so much for the bottled stuff. This affected my wife's quality of sleep but not mine. Reception will provide you with plug-repellents for the rooms but bring out mossie-spray and light, long-sleeved clothes for the evenings if you are particularly susceptible. There are indeed mosquitoes in this jungle-setting. To address a few points that have already been made. And you'll find yourself jumping the queue for check-in for your return flight because EE has its own aisle. 15 minute journey to and from Dalaman Airport. We had our own air-conditioned mini-bus for the approx 2 hr. Our rep has lived in the area for twenty-two years and was charming and knowledgeable. Worthy also of mention is Exclusive Escapes through which we booked. If you've got a child, the latter is where they can get their daily chocolate milkshake and pizza marguerite fix. The food is excellent, both at the main restaurant at the hotel and at the beach restaurant, which serves both Turkish and international fare. Eggs were soft-boiled to eccentric English specifications. There was always a member of staff on hand to provide him with stale bread for feeding the river creatures.
The next day we returned from the beach to find his bed festooned with cuddly toys that she, personally, had bought him. One of the maids spotted a birthday card to my son on the side in our room. They go the extra mile in an open-hearted manner. There is enough natural beauty here for two resorts.
A ten-minute boat-ride down river and across a bay is located the hotel's private beach. The hotel straddles a river, which is alive with swans, ducks, eels, turtles, frogs and an array of fish. Beyond it there are the pine-forests and steep, rocky slopes more common to the area. Inside the fence all is lush, green and tranquil, almost tropical.
The setting is blissful - a cosy little Eden on the rugged Datca peninsula. The balcony is a wonderful lounging spot. We stayed in the Boat House, which I highly recommend. We (my wife and six-year-old) spent a week at Bordubet earlier this May.
