Amanruya

Amanruya Bodrum Hotel surpassed all our expectations with its exceptional service, tranquil ambiance, and exclusive atmosphere. During our delightful three-night stay, we were impressed by every aspect of the hotel, from the attentive staff to the delectable breakfast offerings. The spa and welness center, a haven of tranquility, provided a rejuvenating experience that left us feeling pampered and relaxed. The privacy afforded by the hotel was truly unparalleled.

The most incredible experience. Thank you to the amazing staff who were the most attentive and made our trip stand out. The food at Amanruya was a highlight for us thank you to the talented chefs for always catering to our allergy needs and creating the most special birthday cake for our friend. The attention to detail from Amanruya and its staff was outstanding

So beautiful. The resort was gorgeous. The only negative to this place was sometimes I had to go and find a server. They could increase their level of service. But, would 💯 recommend it. The pool was amazing and the rooms were also great. If they increase their service, it would have been outstanding.

This was our third Aman, so we had high expectations, and we’ve been to Six Senses Kaplankaya nearby, which we loved! Unfortunately, we left Amanruya feeling a lot more sceptical about the Aman brand. The rooms and the pool are lovely- this is about where the pros end. The main issue was the service. Other than the restaurant staff, who we liked a lot (Oyo and others), most of the time the staff were invisible (and not in a good way.) We sat by the pool and ‘pool bar’ for hours each day without seeing a single member of staff, and if we needed a drink or something to eat, we had to wander around the property (at one point going into the kitchen) to find somebody. Front desk/ ‘concierge’ and the welcome were cold and unfriendly. There is no dedicated What’s App to link you to staff, like at most other luxury brand hotels. The Beach Club is no better. It has no sand and no restaurant, just a dodgy looking construction site (they are building a restaurant), dirty towels left all over the place, an outhouse for a bathroom (seriously), and a ‘barbeque’. A kebab and a piece of cheese was not what I was expecting for my first meal at Amanruya! The property is too big. It’s sprawling, the layout is confusing, and they make poor use of space. A property this enormous should have more than one restaurant, a big gym with new equipment (not 25yo treadmills), and a proper spa. Because of the lack of visible staff, at times the place felt eerily abandoned. The location is also a bit odd- it’s in a very busy bay, so you can hear noise from construction sites, the motorway, and see billboards. Finally, an Aperol Spritz inexplicably costs €44, which suggests at least one person in the GM’s office has lost their mind. If you’re picking between Six Senses Kaplankaya and here- choose Six Senses.

Beautiful property as you would expect from the Aman. Here’s what they did well. Absolutely delicious breakfast with the most perfect portion Sizes. My tofu scramble with some grilled tomatoes and fresh cucumber tomatoes on the side as I asked were perfect Staff and friendly the woman who helped us in the mornings, was absolutely spectacular and I am so sorry I don’t have her name anymore. It was a very chill environment. You could be very private, or you might possibly have a nice conversation with somebody. But people pretty much come there to chill out and stay on their own. I like how they did the nightly gift with a little information about the culture. This is something typical at high-end resorts, of course. When they knew I wanted oat milk, and so far, they made sure my room had plenty of it. The chocolate dessert with nuts, and fruit that they handmade was delicious. They knew we like figs, so we always had plenty of figs in the room. The beach was calm My only issue was that the beach restaurant closed early because someone had like a engagement or some kind of event and no one told us. So we were told to leave pretty quickly and we had just wanted to come down and order a pizza from the pizza oven since we had been traveling and did not want to do a full big dinner. We couldn’t even stay up in one of the areas to the side. They should’ve told us when we checked in, or even even before we arrived. The Asian restaurant was very good and they aim to serve me as a vegan, but I wish I had had a little more insight because they created way more food than I needed and of course then the bill was higher than I would have. It was fine. Some of the dishes were great and I would’ve passed on. Had I been told about it. I love how they were like we were going to create some special. They certainly did. If you’re looking for quiet and a secluded retreat, this is the place. Be sure to check the pool temperature you might want it turned up or turned down depending upon what you like. We’d like it warm so they turned it up. I think this is a good Aman it’s not the best, but it is a very good one. They look to employ local people , and so some of them who are working at the beach like Cleaning at the beach may not have much English but it’s great that they employ older people and people that are local. Keep this in mind.
