My family and I have just returned from our second excellent holiday at the Tamarisk, the first being through Crystal Active but this time independent. We arranged our own flights to Bodrum airport from Gatwick with EasyJet. The Tamarisk organised our airport transfer (approx. 30 min in luxury minivan) and we stayed for two weeks at the Tamarisk on a... more

We booked in to the Tamarisk Murat Otel based on the positive Trip Advisor reviews and had one of the best holidays ever. This is the first year that the owners, Sevilay and Faik Muslu, are going alone from tour companies (previously Crystal Active and Simply Turkey) and will certainly be a success. Nothing was to much trouble for the... more

Later owned by Crystal Active which provided the perfect combination... more

We have been to the Tamarisk many times both with Simply Turkey and Crystal Active and have always enjoyed it. The hotel is still open for 2009 but now needs to be booked directly with the hotel -easily found by searching the internet. They will sort out transfers from the airport and there is lots of choice when it comes... more
