Hotels near A101 RüyaPark, Mugla

The hotel is very old , the washroom is not good to use , I just used bed to sleep not worth to touch other things

I had a fabulous 5 week stay in the Villa Marine through May 2023. First of all, it's a welcoming, warm place. Pinar and Osman, who run it, were exceptional hosts. My wife stayed for nearly three weeks, and I remained for another two, working from the hotel. The pool is beautiful and the views, particularly from the rooms in the two blocks at the back of the hotel, take in the river, the sea, the mountains and the castle to the East. We stayed in an apartment near the street and then I moved to one of the rooms overlooking the pool. Both were nice but the road can be a little noisy, especially when the town is busy. The rooms are spacious and cosy and all of them are quite different. My room had a huge balcony with two loungers. My only nitpick would be that the mattresses are a bit on the hard side and there are no pads or mattresses on the poolside loungers, which they badly needed. They gave us breakfast every morning. When the hotel was not busy, it consisted of a kind of personal buffet, with a range of jams, cheeses and one item cooked to order, such as egg or sausage. At busier times they serve a full buffet. The staff at the restaurant are extremely pleasant and attentive. The hotel is a 10/15 minute walk from the beach and the main tourist area of the town. However, it's a lovely walk, along the banks of the river, with lots of restaurants and cafes along the way. We had mixed results with the food in Akyaka (some restaurants are very over-priced) but there are some excellent places, such as Febiha 1921 and Niss Manti (beside each other on Karanfil Sokak) in the centre. As a location to be a digital nomad Akyaka is ideal. You have the trails in the mountains, the little coves for swimming and the river, all of it fairly quiet during the week outside peak season. Since the hotel was not busy, I was able to move work locations from time to time. It was pretty nice sitting in a swing seat in the shade of an orange tree while answering emails. It felt like a second home, rather than a hotel, and that made all the difference. We researched most of the accommodation in Akyaka but I think we found the best in terms of location, comfort and welcome.

I was well impressed with its location and attractions nearby. Not only crystal-clear waters and gorgeous green mountains in the background. My room had a shower unit, a traditional Turkish bath, and a high-quality bed. Another great place was the mini pool with freezing water from the mountains. I also did like the breakfast area, which overlooks the beach area. The service and food were excellent. Cleanliness is prioritised at all times. The staff were amicable and well-mannered. I highly recommend the place if you seek an affordable and memorable holiday.
