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.

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.

This is a wonderful resort with individual villas with private pools spread out over a fantastic property. The villas are large and nicely furnished and the large heated pools and private gardens are sensational. The food and service are very good. The beach club area is also very nice.

When traveling abroad I typically stay at FourSeasons, Rixos, or Ritz Carlton (when available); I feel that I have high expectations as a base line. A friend of mine insisted that my wife and I try out Aman hotel brands, and our honeymoon in Turkey was the perfect excuse to stay at AmanRuya. We have been “wowed,” AmanRuya provides exceptional Staff, Housekeeping, and suites. We will be back! It is difficult to express how superior the staff at AmanRuya is, they are operating on a level of coordination that I have never seen. For example, every single staff member at the resort naturally knew our name and room number, from the towel boys to the head of staff. Beyond this, they somehow always knew where we were or where we were headed. Every single staff member was exceptional. The housekeepers are magical. Every time we stepped out of our room we returned to a fresh room with bespoke touches based on observed preferences. - They noticed we enjoyed swimming in the ocean, so they turned our pool heat on (with out us asking) and left us towels for swimming in our room. This occurred just based on their team seeing that we liked to swim. - They noticed that I drink a lot of water at meals, so they gradually stocked our room with more and more water, up to 14 bottles of water every morning! - When leaving the hotel the housekeeping came and tagged our checked baggage for us. I have never seen anything like this attention to detail. The Suites are designed with an incredible attention to detail. Everything from the synchronized dimmer switch, the private pool, the private day bed, to the complementary speakers and bags… they have thought of all possible wants.

Legendary service, great attendance to detail, the staff is amazing and even one of a kind among AMAN resorts. We have been to many AMAN, MO and Four Seasons resorts and I can easily say this is by far the best staffed resort of all. Even the legendary service oriented south east resort fall way behind this one. Theta always have the same staff year after year and people know you and treat you very much even more than your family. The hospitality, the smiling faces, the level of attendance to detail is beyond earthly. Amanruya has been our home away from home for so many years and it will be our favorite destination every summer at least once. Great work Hamza Bey, Kadir Bey, and all the Amanruya team behind this wonderful homey resort.

I heard much about the Aman experience but I have to admit that our stay exceeded our expectations. The pavilion was sublime with pools that are fully private and secluded. However, what really amazed us was the level of service. The whole hotel staff seem to work together as a single entity. I have never seen such level of communication between staff to satisfy our different requests, plans, bookings, etc. Everyone seemed to know where we were going when and how they could facilitate it for us, often before we needed to ask for it. Sometimes, hotels that attempt this level of service, it can be overbearing or intrusive, but the Aman staff were able to strike the spot on balance for it to be neither. As mentioned, the staff worked as a team to with everyone knowing what needed to be done to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Special mention goes Hamza Dalar, the front office manager, who personally took care of us and recommended and arranged excellent restaurants and excursions.

Me and my boyfriend recently visited Amanruya in bodrum and what a trip! The hotel itself is something so beautiful you feel You are in heaven. Every room has its own private pool and garden and nothing was more magic to wake up to such scenery. The staff compliment the picture perfect location. Everyone was so attentive to us from Reception / the restaurant and the beach club. We felt so special and this is thankfully for the phenomenal service everyone has provided us! I really hope to come back soon and send our deepest gratitude for the amazing days we spent in there. A&M
