  Small and friendly with a hint of sizzle

  17 May 2026

  Just returned from Manuela Otel room 114, the first thing I want to say is location… Boom right on the sea front and by far why I’m giving this hotel a 5. Not that was the only reason, but who doesn’t like breakfast by the sea Our room was boutique or small! but modern and for the price great value. Incredibly clean with towels and bedding changed frequently. Every member of staff were friendly and asked my name… and remembered it The hotel puts numerous shows on, the Cuban dance festival was sizzling. The food is nice but pretty standard. We had a couple of lunches and dome snacks, There are restaurants all the way along the bay of bitez and some genuinely nice people. It’s standard practice for the restaurants to tout for business, just smile and say maybe later if you feel pressured that is usually enough. Try coming away from the main restaurants and we’re the locals eat rather than just getting the usual stuff. Nice for you and your pocket!I’d also like to say thank you for the late checkout very helpful

  This was a memorable 7 days holiday with my family and my friend's family. There were many pros in our experience: Beach front location, great food, friendly and respectful staff, every night entertainment, we especially liked the latin nights, and personal attention of Mr. Oktay, owner of the hotel. Highly recommended.

  Beachfront hotel, fantastic staff! Delicious restaurants!

  29 Oct 2025

  Great beachfront location, lovely staff! Our checkin was great, we were introduced to a staff member to take us to the beach tables & offered drinks/nibbles whilst we waited for our room! A great start to our stay! Other staff introduced themselves & explained the nightly entertainment, restaurant and breakfast. Some guests were full board, we had breakfast only, lovely breakfast. The room is not big, its traditional & clean,but enough for our luggage. So many restaurants and free sunbeds out front and all along the beach. We loved the vibe of the accomodation, the entertainment at night (& dance lessons by day!)and the street filled with delicious restaurants. We were treated like rockstars! Great value for money! Would stay here again! Thanks!

  A perfect little gem

  20 Oct 2025

  I recently returned from an 11 day stay at the wonderful Manuela. Firstly, just to get the little niggles out of the way , my friend emailed the hotel in advance and sent two messages by different methods, requesting a twin room and saying how much we were looking forward to coming, she had no reply whatsoever, we were surprised as other reviews say they had replies back, when we arrived we were shown to a double room, we asked if they had a twin and then got shown to a room with a double bed and a single bed, we were then told we would have to wait til the morning to change, we went back 3 times and eventually got shown a twin, we took it as we wanted to get on with our stay. The cases were taken to our new room, which was really helpful, we had quite a small room, to the extent that i had to put my case on the bedside cabinet between our beds, the walls were very thin and the noise level was pretty bad from the other rooms. We had the same cups and saucers for the whole 11 days and were left a few cardboard cups, 5 days in.Now for breakfast, we were a bit late going because of the room change. There were no free tables, no bread left, yet we witnessed on many occasions, other guests taking 2-3 slices and throwing it in the sea to feed the fish! i think the breakfast area would benefit, from having some tables for 2 as sometimes only one person or a couple would be sat at a table for 4, we tried going at different times, but were met with the same issue, we could of used the bar area, but juggling plates and hot drinks with our beach bags was more hassle than it was worth, so didn't bother for the rest of our stay.I have to say, having visited Bitez before, we loved the chilled out vibe of the place and having previously stayed in Gumbet, we really wanted to stay here.The hotel, the staff, were wonderful, Oktay, Arjie and Jacob were so helpful, kind and couldn't do enough for you, as were all the staff. The entertainment was incredible, the latin band, beyonce and colombian dancers were insane and with everyone dancing, it felt at times like you were in a bar in Havana, they have so got it right here, we never had a problem getting a table, waiter service for drinks, just perfect. We ate in the restaurant amazing service and the steak superb xWe met some lovely people and can see why people choose to return, as i said at the start, these things were only niggles, i would definitely come back, even as a solo traveller i would feel totally safe and at ease. There's a small pool area, which we used several times as it was so quiet. The beach area is lovely, if you order food or drinks they bring it to your beds, i miss it already..There's a promenade that runs the whole length of the beach, with lovely little bars and restaurants, also a jetty, so lots of places to eat and drink.Also, only minutes away are two supermarkets that are open til silly o'clock , perfect for getting water. Reception will always call a taxi for you, should you want to go into Gumbet or Bodrum, there is also a dolmus bus, but it only goes direct to Bodrum.While we waited, on our last day for the transfer to the airport, we had a wonderful chat with the man on reception, its a truly lovely place and look forward to staying here again in the future. mil gracias x
