Imba Apart

The imba has changed. It no longer is a holiday accommodation. It's now being used a long term rental opportunity for Turkish only. The bar is closed. The pool is closed. The restaurant is closed. There are NO Facilities currently for tourists. Only available now via booking.com please folks be aware if considering.

We came here in July 2010, with family. Transport to and from Bodrum airport was good, and the distance to the beach was only about 90 metres. The rooms were clean, the right temperature, and they were very spacious.They were also very dark. The sleep quality was not very good, and when it came to breakfast, we had to bring our own and put it in the fridge. The room service was quick, and they made the bed into lovely scenes. The pool was big, and children will be entertained by it! Even babies an have their own pool. I recommend this hotel for leisure.

This was our 2nd visit to Imba now and still impressed by the apartment that you get for your money (and the views of the bay) We went in September (end of) and there were only a handful of rooms occupied (if that!). Owner and wife explained that it was the end of the season and that they were closing up the following week. Suited us just fine as we got a top floor room on the second level which gave a lovely view over the bay/restaurant strip. We spent most days on the beach but enjoyed virtually exclusive use of the pool and sunbeds on the occasions we did spend a few hours around the pool. Rooms a bit rough around the edges and were showing signs of a season of use, but we've still yet to find anywhere in the area that offers a spacious apartment for even close to what we paid. Good size 2 bed apartments with all you could need and decent size balconies with a view of the bay (something many hotels in Bitez don't offer) Staff a bit thin on the ground given the pending closure for the season, and the bar was often unmanned and closed by mid evening, but no real issue as there is a shop next to reception and we did most of our drinking/eating out in Bitez or on the balcony enjoying the view. Shame that Onur has moved on this year. Cleaning staff polite yet unobtrusive providing you don't encourage them. Always someone about in reception to let you into your safe. Ideal hotel for those after something simple and roomy but on a budget. Ideal for a family (we used the 2nd bedroom as a dressing room). No frills or luxury, but clean and run by a hospitable family. As per many reviews, be aware that getting to most rooms requires tackling a number of steep steps, especially the rear or top floor rooms. I'm sure we'll be back at some point given the VFM that Imba Apartments offer, especially compared to some of the other 'budget' hotels in Bitez that don't even come close.
