Raymar Resort & Aqua

A wonderful vacation at Raymar Resort!We had a great time staying at Raymar Hotels. The beachfront location is absolutely beautiful, and having direct access to the sea is a huge plus. The rooms are clean, modern, and very comfortable, with nice views from the balcony. We really enjoyed the outdoor pools and the water park—it was so much fun for the whole family! The food was delicious with a lot of varieties of Mediterranean and Turkish dishes at the buffet. A big thank you to the friendly and helpful staff who made our stay comfortable. Highly recommended for couples and families!

Not so fancy but an affordable option near Antalia. The pools are good and snacks are yummy. Coffee machines everywhere and snack bar is good. The buffet is good but not so many meat options. Only that everything closes before 6 which is not very convenient. Especially in summer that the weather is so hot during noon. Overall it worths the price.

The toilets inside the premises are very dirty and the cleanliness is not maintained. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are excellent, but the bad smell from the bathroom is annoying. A stylish hotel with facilities, but the cleanliness is not maintained.

Our first holiday in Turkey, we were 5 adults and a child, our experience was very nice, we were all very pleased with the size of the hotel, the service of the staff and their wonderful massage (which we got a welcome gift), the activities they were varied at every hour of the day, the food was plentiful and varied, we did not like the quality of the sausages, except for one of us who did not like the food (a matter of taste), we all liked the food very much. The day at Al cart (fish dishes) was really special and very well organized as we also had our son's birthday which they had organized very well, there was also a children's menu. We got two rooms, one was a family room where two single beds were placed at the entrance, then there was a toilet and at the end the room with a door and a balcony (plenty of space), the other room was a standard double room. For our birthday, we were served drinks and fresh fruits in the room (these were surprises from the hotel). The pools were large and the most beautiful was the children's pool, which had a pirate theme. The sea was good for those who know how to swim, not very suitable for children.

-----DO NOT BOOK! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY----- I have experienced the five worst days at this hotel and don’t even think it deserves one star—more like zero. We arrived from the airport around 7:00. The hotel’s check-in time is 14:00, as the check-out time is 11:30, and they supposedly ‘clean’ the rooms until 14:00. However, we were already exhausted and couldn’t get a room because everything was fully booked until 14:00. My family and I had to sleep on the public couches, as if this were a normal practice! Approximately 20 families were waiting for rooms, and the lobby was cluttered with luggage. The butler was helpful in carrying our bags, though. The reception staff was terrible—disrespectful and rude. If I were the manager, they would have been fired on the foot. The food was also dreadful; there wasn’t enough variety, and the restaurant was extremely unhygienic. Long queues formed at the grills. On the tables, they used dirty placemats, which were wiped with a filthy towel to remove crumbs before being placed back. The forks and knives also looked unclean. Unfortunately, all six of us, except for me, suffered from food poisoning. I STRONGLY ADVICE TO AVOID THE OUTSIDE POOL! There have been rumors that it hasn’t been cleaned for days, and people, including children, have fallen ill. I even witnessed a child urinating in the pool while standing. On a positive note, the beach was amazing—the water warm and clear. However, our disappointment grew when we finally got our room on the 9th floor. It was depressing and far from clean. There was minimal lighting—only two night table lights—and the windowed door leading to the balcony wouldn’t close properly, causing significant noise from the traffic outside. The room had AC, which was perfect until you see its covered with dust. The bathroom was a total nightmare: the air vent was about to fall off the ceiling, it smelled like a sewer, the sink looked disgusting, and the shower head was broken. We didn’t have enough water pressure to shower, and we were even lacking shampoo until we complained about it. The toilet was also a nightmare, making me consider doing my business in a bucket instead. The rooms weren’t properly cleaned, and the beddings weren’t changed. The janitors were provided with a damp duster instead of a vacuum cleaner, and they used it to ‘pick’ stuff up from the floor. This building accommodates around 600 rooms with just three elevators across a total of 11 floors. Unfortunately, the elevators are extremely busy, smelly, and always full. Mentioning about the room again, on our way back from the beach around 18:30, we returned to our room to shower, only to find there was no hot water. We had to endure a cold shower with barely enough water until this was fixed 2 hours later! Frustrated, I went downstairs to the receptionist to complain about all the issues mentioned above. Their response was disheartening: ‘I can give you a different room, but you’ll face the same problems.’ The guy looked at me as if I were talking to a brick wall and later added, ‘You’ll need to discuss these problems with your agency,’ even though it wasn’t their fault that the hot water wasn’t working. Adding to the disappointment, the hotel charges for its spa services, which is quite unusual for an all-inclusive hotel. Additionally, there’s an indoor pool that remains closed due to the ‘hot weather.’ Frankly, the size of the indoor pool is laughable; they might as well remove it entirely and repurpose the space. Lastly, the hotel’s public toilets are places to avoid—the smell of urine is extreme, and the hygiene is nonexistent. Outside of this hotel, my first time in Türkiye was absolutely delightful. The beach, land and the people were wonderful, which is why I give the location a 5-star rating. However, if you have this hotel booked or are considering it, please be aware and consider finding a better place for you and your children! I hope this helps!
