| Our little jester ;-) |
 |
| This was our second visit to Casa Dell Arte, having stayed in 2011 and enjoyed it so much that we came back. |
 |
| The hotels main outdoor bar perched in a stunning 120 year old palm tree and served iced delights and other goodies |
 |
| It is situated in a beautiful bay just far enough from the noise and nightlife of Bodrum but near enough if you do want to go there to sample the experience! |
 |
| La vie est belle |
 |
We really like the fact that the hotel is a very non-touristy with mainly Turkish upscale clientele and very few English people
|
 |
| Our sea view suit had a massive raised Jacuzzi with amazing views |
 |
| Tick Tock, it's cocktail o clock! Good thing about a muslim country like Turkey is that they do mean non alcoholic drinks and fruity cocktails |
 |
| A wooden deck with sun loungers and a non-sandy beach is ideal when you have kids |
 |
| My jewel |
 |
| Highlights of the Turkish food includes the shared mezze platters, grilled sea bass and my favourite shrimp casserole |
 |
| Sun, sea, sand and sex appeal! |
 |
| The setting of this place is like a small village with the sea as your backyard |
 |
| The location makes it the perfect way to read, nap, and sunbathe just inches from the water |
 |
| Sean's favourite lunch in the heat was spaghetti with only a little bit of butter |
 |
| Father and son on a kayaking adventure |
 |
| West meets Easts |
 |
| Breakfast is a scrumptious display of fresh local foods, and I usually choose an omelette and salad for my healthy days (not that many though LOL!) |
 |
| Sean was very popular with the girls! |
 |
 |
| Pool Paradise |
 |
| Dressed up and off to the beach restaurant (Gonca Balik), which was only 150 metres away and is a fantastic rustic seafood dining experience that had us return several times |
 |
| The hotel can arrange a baby sitter for £25 per hour with very trained and lovely staff who normally runs the art classes for kids during the days |
 |
| Works Wonders! Moroccan Oil Deep Mask treatment in my hair that I leave in for the sun to dry, and then later rinsed it out at the end of the day |
 |
| Sean and Bear ventured up to the roof top of the hotel to check out the spectacular views |
 |
| We were usually the first down for brekkie as we were still on UK time and the Turks likes to have a lie-in :) |
 |
| My loves |
 |
| Drawing back the curtains in our room and sliding open the bedroom doors was a pleasure each morning with warm air rushing in with a smell of the sea :-) |
