What guests say
Reviews from Google“Just when I thought that I’ve already seen the best of Turkey, we booked a vacation here and I was fascinated by this hotel. From the location, to the amenities and food, everything was exceptional. The beach was super beautiful and I loved that kayaking was available. The kids club was really good and the staff there were nice and attentive. This one of the nicest resorts for families with kids. I loved the fact that the resort wasn’t crowded at all.”
“Probably one of the best resorts I’ve ever stayed in! Wonderful food, choice of restaurants, evening entertainment, gorgeous beach, friendly and exceptional staff everywhere especially in cafe sol, seavore and the breakfast buffet, excellent safe kids club (probably the best and biggest I’ve ever seen)! The staff in there are so lovely and kind with all the kids. I can’t fault this hotel at all. Our MAXX assistants Yagmur & Samed made our stay even more lovely, easy and personal. Was a lovely touch to our holiday. Also Maina the buggy driver… he was so helpful and kind. Can’t wait to return again!”
“My stay at Maxx Royal Bodrum was truly unforgettable, and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this experience so special. A very special thank you to the Resort Manager for creating such an exceptional atmosphere of hospitality and excellence. Every detail reflected true care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. To the wonderful Maxx Assistants, Yağmur and Samed — thank you for your kindness, constant support, and for always going above and beyond to make everything effortless and memorable. Your care genuinely made a difference in my stay. A heartfelt thank you as well to the buggy drivers, who were always welcoming, kind, and ready to help with a smile, making every ride pleasant and seamless. And of course, to all the food & beverage staff — thank you for your incredible service, attentiveness, and warm hospitality. Every interaction felt thoughtful and sincere. It was already a beautiful holiday, but your exceptional care made it even more special. Thank you all for turning a lovely vacation into an unforgettable memory. I will truly miss this place and look forward to coming back again.”
“By far the best hotel we've ever stayed in. The setting is stunning, the villa gorgeous, and the cleanliness irreproachable. We tried nearly every restaurant, including Lena (not part of the all-inclusive) every single one, even the snacks, was beyond excellent. What really makes this place special is the people. Everyone was so kind, from the buggy drivers (every ride was genuinely fun) to the waiters to the managers. Aylin at Seavoré gave us exceptional, warm service. Our Maxx Assistants Ecrin, Yasemin and Serap ans well ans our butler Anara took incredible care of us all stay. As a special touch, after Morocco beat Canada in the World Cup, they surprised us with a Moroccan-themed celebration in our villa: sweets, macarons, a printed team photo, a handwritten letter, and a screen set up so we could watch the match. Truly unforgettable. We'll be back.”
“We had an absolutely flawless experience at Leña, located inside Maxx Royal Hotel. From the reservation process to the very end of our dinner, everything was simply perfect. A special thank you to Öykü for the warm welcome from the moment we arrived. We would also like to sincerely thank Can, who took care of our table throughout the evening. His professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional kindness truly made our dinner unforgettable. The level of service was impeccable. As for the food, every dish was exquisite: beautifully presented, perfectly executed, and absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients and the expertise of the kitchen were evident in every bite. The only disappointing aspect of the evening was discovering at the end that parking fees were charged, without this being communicated in advance (we are referring to self-parking, not valet service). In a venue of this level and standing, we genuinely believe restaurant guests should ideally not be charged for parking at all or at least be informed beforehand. Without this issue, the experience would easily have been a 5/5. Unfortunately, this unexpected extra charge took away one star from what was otherwise a perfect evening. Aside from this unfortunate detail, Leña offers an outstanding dining experience with exceptional cuisine and remarkable service.”
