If you are on a budget this hotel is great, it's certainly not the Ritz but neither is it as bad as some of the reviews make out, yes there are a lot of cats about and they are allowed to wander all over the place including the restaurant. The rooms although a little run down are clean and tidy. The majority of the staff are friendly and helpful people. Club Magico Bronzo, Ovacik is a basic hotel and you only get basic, if you want luxury I suggest you book somewhere else. We took our two boys (12 & 13) here and they loved it, we were out all day sightseeing and when we got back to the hotel they had the pool and we relaxed by the bar.
Would I stay here again? YES

Good really enjoyed myself I went for 2 weeks and didn't have a problem but maybe im just not picky

This hotel is disgusting - do not choose the Magico Bronzo.

We had booked the hotel Tlos but we were switched to the Magico Bronzo by Goldtrail when we arrived in Turkey. The Goldtrail rep. told us this was an upgrade. If it was then the Tlos must be a cave. The Magico Bronzo is constantly dirty - the "chambermaids" do not clean the floors and do minimum cleaning in the bathroom. The rest of the hotel is run by young boys who never seem to wash or change their clothes. Everyone is looking for tips - even the guy who runs the over-priced shop in the hotel.

We were on an all inclusive holiday here, although Goldtrail do not tell you that it is "soft" all inclusive. This means that you still have to pay for things like ice creams and for drinks at the bar after 11 p.m. Interestingly, the price of drinks seems to increase more the later it gets.

Most of the sun beds by the pool are old and broken and need to be replaced. The Goldtrail rep. at this resort was worse than useless and even seemed unable (or unwilling) to provide people with complaint forms when requested. The only time anyone ever saw her was when she arrived to get her free meals at the hotel. The food was pretty good though, although the hot meals were usually cold by the time we got them. We noticed that the chicken cooked on a barbecue one day was under-cooked with blood still dripping when the meat was cut so we gave that a wide berth.

The best advice we can give is to definitely avoid this hotel and also do not book through Goldtrail. This company does not care once they have your money and the reps are useless!

Club Magico Bronzo is the worst hotel either of us have stayed in. The food on offer is appalling, especially since it's supposed to be all inclusive. But they expect you to pay for things and the drink on offer is just as bad. Do not expect to get the all inclusive that's highlighted in the brochure as you will not get this. Also the Goldtrail rep was very unhelpful and not good with complaint handling. If you get this hotel on a last minute deal for little money then it's great value for money, but we paid quite a bit for a week and it was not worth it. Ended up spending about another £200 so we could at least eat and drink decent stuff while we were there.

Overall, Yes I would go back to Club Magico Bronzo in Ovacik, mainly for its location, staff, cleanliness of rooms and a nice big pool. If you have any questions then please feel free to leave a comment, and I will give you my honest opinion.

I would say try these hotels instead:

1. Yakamoz
2. Salhan
3. Ucel

They're the top 3 in that I would recommend.

Just amazing... I have many memories of my stay that I hope will be relived again when we go back!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the week, would go back or recommend others to stay at the Club Magico Bronzo.

A very good value-for-money holiday. Very friendly staff, who performed valiantly with little resource. The club caters for mainly British holidaymakers, several of whom constantly moaned about foreign food and no bacon! There was also a large contingent of Turkish families staying at the Club Magico Bronzo in Ovacik, Turkey, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Stunning location in the mountains, but only a short distance to the local nightlife. Take at least one of the excursions to Dalyan or the 12 islands cruise. You will not be disappointed.

My family and I have just returned (12th August) from a lovely stay at Club Magico Bronzo in Ovacik, Turkey.

As everyone says, all of the staff, restaurant, entertainment and bar, even the manager, are absolutely brilliant. They are so helpful, and they really do try to make your holiday extra special!

The only thing I could complain about would be the food. But saying that, everyone else who came with us thought it was lovely! I just thought it was a bit repetitive (meatballs) and a bit too Turkish, but what did I expect? Another minor thing was that our air conditioning system was leaking water from it, and although there were several attempts of fixing it, it never did work, but our room was never that hot anyway!

If the Mr and Miss Magico Bronzo comps are on while you are there, I would definitely recommend participating. My boyfriend and I did them and they were so much fun, even though we both came second!!!

The chefs) are so friendly and so much fun. They always try to have a bit of fun with everyone!

I would definitely recommend for those who enjoy the nightlife to get on the free bus which the hotel runs to Hisronu on a Saturday. It leaves at midnight and returns at 3am. The entertainment team take you to a club called Grand Boozey, which is good, but, Club UK is so much better! Also, if you fancy a pizza I would definitely recommend PIZZA EXPRESS. It is so much better than Pizza Pizza. Their medium pizzas are like large pizzas in England, and the one I had was 7.50 Lira's which is about 3 pounds!!

A trip to Fethiye market on a Tuesday is fun, but make sure you haggle haggle haggle! My Mum wanted this leather bag, and they wanted £45 for it so my mum walked off. He asked how much then, and my mum said a tenner! After refusing to accept a tenner for about 20 minutes, we ended up getting it for £12!!

Also worth going on is the moonlight boat trip, which the hotel runs on a Wednesday night. It is more for couples than families though, as it is late at night and young children would probably get bored! My boyfriend and I had a lovely time dancing under the stars!

Another thing worth going on is a day long boat trip. We paid 5 pounds each, which included transport to and from the boat, and a lovely meal of either chicken or fish. Our boat left at 10:45 in the morning and returned at about 6:30. It was a lovely day out. You stop off at 5 islands, including a cool water spring, which is very refreshing but very very cold! Also, you can actually get off the boat and do water sports in the middle of the sea!

We all had a great holiday. It was our first time to Turkey, and I'm sure we'll be returning. The weather was beautiful every single day. The pool is big, there is plenty of entertainment day and night, you will never go hungry, and there is a good selection of drinks and also great people! My mum and Dad are already thinking about going back to Magico Bronzo, and we only got back yesterday!

We went to Club Magico Bronzo in Turkey in June 2005, and we were treated like family by all the staff. This year was no different! We were still treated like family. So much so, that we are going back in September 2006. Last year was my first time out of England, and I felt so much at home there; not just with the hotel staff, but all the Turkish people are so welcoming.

Club Magico Bronzo is an ideal place for a holiday. I have booked again already for August as it was the best holiday ever. It was very cheap, and the all inclusive was more than worth it. The cleaning ladies tidy your room often, and they shape the towels into hearts. The room have air conditioning. And I loved the beaches and shopping area. It is a beautiful place and I can't wait to go back. I had read the bad reviews before going and I felt negative, but when I checked it out for myself I was SHOCKED! Everything was beautiful!

Just back from Club Magico Bronzo and first time in Turkey. Spent one week there and thoroughly enjoyed it. We found the food excellent quality. It is traditional Turkish food, which I believe is a big part of travelling to foreign countries, to experience different cultures and try something different.

We needed to chill, and that's just what we did, although the antics of the drunken Brits left us feeling a little ashamed to call ourselves English.

Our family had suffered a major trauma and we needed time out to get our heads together, so my sister, niece and myself booked a last minute trip. We have never travelled to a foreign country before without our partners, but we felt totally safe at the Club Magico Bronzo. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and we were far enough away from the town to give us the peace we needed, but it was within walking distance when we felt we wanted to be part of the hustle and bustle. We have all travelled as a family to a lot of countries. We do not tend to return to the same place twice, but we will definitely return with our partners later this year. The animation team were excellent, and all the Turkish guys are such gentlemen. It is not their custom to treat the girls/ladies disrespectfully.

My family and I spent a week at Club Magico Bronzo in Turkey last year, and all I can say is it was fantastic! The staff were very hospitable and friendly, making sure that everyone was included in activities. The hotel was very clean, and the food was wonderful. The staff worked very hard to make sure that everyone had a good time, and they certainly achieved it. We will definitely be returning!

Stayed at the Club Magico Bronzo in Turkey last year in June, and back this year in May with a great deal. Small hotel means you get to know all the staff and most of the guests. Quiet location, near to all you need. Bus to beach by lagoon. Did 2 excursions last year - mud baths and Jeep safari, both were excellent! The Olu area is lovely, and better than the Bodrum area. The Turkish are truly lovely people, and still in touch with them.

Can't wait for 22nd of May to come!

My family has just returned from two weeks at Magico Bronzo, and we could not have asked for a better holiday. The rooms are not large and some of them could do with a lick of paint, but how long do you spend in your room - at least they were air conditioned.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The waiting staff were brilliant.The Entertainment team, Sonic, Gadget, Jan Jan and Naz were brilliant and organised some really good games during the day and great entertainment in the evening. If you don't mind joining in and making a fool of yourself even better.
The slide is only open a couple of times a day which makes it even more enjoyable and it is a must to go down it on lilo or some other type of inflatable, but don't get upset it you end up popping them.
The food was very Turkish, but there was always plenty of it and none of my children went hungry even though one of them is a real fusspot. Breakfast and 4 o'clock snack were the most "English" meals.
We made friends with another group from Hertfordshire who had been on our flight out, and on the same flight back - so when all 20 of us left, it was like leaving home - lots of the staff came out to wave us off and some of them had tears in their eyes.
Even though this is a small hotel with no kids clubs, it is small enough to let the children play safely within the grounds and not have to worry about them because they all up playing with each other and someone is always looking out for them in and around the pool. The children's pool is very small, but the smaller children still enjoyed themselves in it.
Many of the guests had been to Magico Bronzo before, some twice if not more. We are planning to go back next year with the friends we met there.

I went to Turkey for the first time last year and I thought Club Magico Bronzo was excellent. The food is nice as it is Turkish cusine and not really sutible for children but there is a little shop in the hotel which sells ciggarettes ice cream sweets chocolate postcards and crisps. I liked the all inclusive part as there was drinks on tap and I just kept going up and getting a nice cold refreshing beer. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel not a 3 star because when you are finished your dinner they take your plates ask you if you enjoyed your meal, and asked if you would like anything else and always asked if you wanted a drink. Do not be afraid if the entertainment team come and sit with you and eat their dinner and have a chat they are very friendly and nice. The hotel rooms where plain, but just remember you are just sleeping and getting ready in that room you are not living in there. If you have any problems just speak to the staff and they will be happy to help. I cannot wait because I am going there in 5 days for 2 weeks as I felt 1 week was not enough.

I found Club Magico Bronzo a very nice resort and I am going back this year.
As I have never been to Turkey before I thought it was going to be horrible but it was lovely and the staff made it very enjoyable.
