Here's something I don't think enough people ask when they're booking a holiday to Turkey.
**What's the story behind the place you're actually visiting?**
Take Bodrum, for example. Most people think of beautiful beaches, sunshine and all-inclusive resorts. And yes, it's got all of that. But there's so much more to this place.
Over 2,000 years ago, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World stood here , The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
Bodrum has been shaped by ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantine rulers and the Knights of St. John. And you can still see that history today, especially in the castle overlooking the marina.
So, when you're walking around the old town or exploring the castle, you're not just sightseeing. You're experiencing a place with an incredible story to tell.
And that's one of the things I love about travel. It's not just about where you stay. It's about what you get to experience while you're there.
**Now, let's talk about where you could be staying.**
This is Bodrum Holiday Resort & Spa.
It's a large, family-friendly, all-inclusive resort with 438 rooms spread across 15 blocks. So, we're talking about a proper resort with plenty of facilities to keep you occupied.
You've got an aqua park, two outdoor swimming pools with children's sections, an indoor pool, six bars and three restaurants, including Turkish and Italian à la carte options.
And with those sea views, you've got plenty of opportunities to sit back, relax and enjoy the surroundings.
There are family rooms available, and the hotel also holds Sustainable Hotel certification.
Now, let me give you my honest take.
The hotel has an official five-star rating, while Jet2Holidays rates it 3.5 out of 5.
And I think it's important to understand what you're booking rather than getting caught up in the stars alone.
This is a big, family-focused, all-inclusive resort. It's about having facilities on site, keeping the family entertained and having your meals and drinks taken care of.
If you're looking for a small, intimate boutique hotel, this probably isn't the one for you. But if you want a full-scale resort with plenty going on, it's certainly worth considering.
**Now, here's the bit that really caught my attention — the dates and the price.**
We're looking at Easter Monday, the 5th of April 2027.
You've got the Easter bank holiday weekend at home, the school holiday period to work around, and then you can head off to Turkey for seven nights, returning on the 12th of April.
And April in Bodrum gives you the chance to experience the destination in spring, before the height of the summer season.
For this particular package, you're looking at **£642 per person** for seven nights all-inclusive.
That's a low deposit of just **£60 per person** to secure your booking, subject to the package's booking terms.
Now, one important thing I always tell my customers: this resort does have steps throughout, so it may not be suitable for everyone with limited mobility. If that's a consideration for you or anyone travelling with you, speak to me before booking so we can look at your needs properly.
The package includes flights from Birmingham, full luggage allowance and coach transfers, in partnership with Jet2Holidays.
And your holiday is ATOL protected, with the applicable financial protection in place.
So, if you've been thinking about Turkey for Easter 2027, this could be one worth looking into.
**Here's what I'd like you to do.**
Don't just look at the price. Think about the experience, the location, the facilities and whether this is the right holiday for you and your family.
That's where I come in.
