Hotel Akbulut & Spa

Let me start with some positives - First the staff are friendly and attentive. The beach area is great with a nice bar. The location is easy to find opposite the Zeus cave entrance, and has a dolmus (minibus) that goes to kusadasi ever 30-40mins (cost 46tl (2024)). The cake selection is good as well, they may have someone who specialises in desserts on site. The negatives - The drink sizes are tiny, seriously tiny small plastic cups which I understand is to reduce wastage but as a guest I don't want to visit the bar area 2-3 times to quench my thirst. Note beer sizes appear decent so if you don't drink alcohol don't bother with here. - food wish alot the dishes are the same day in day out, I liked a few but still variety keeps customers happy. - entertainment is focused couples and the same thing over and over so lack variety here too. The staff truly do try. Overall I had more expectations, the hotel most probably needs better management as the staff appear eager to help.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hotel has its own private beach by a beautiful, crystal-clear sea and is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. As a family-run business, the hotel offers a warm and personal touch. The food was also excellent—fresh, delicious, and carefully prepared. The combination of the stunning location, outstanding hospitality, and great food made our stay memorable.

Very nice place to relax and rest. Rooms are clean, staff is very supportive and my balcony view was just amazing. In general the whole location is super green and you can find rosemary and bay leaf just at the swimming pool. Beach area is quite nice with many beach beds, it is the same for a pool area. The food is OK, I would expect more local dishes because we did have everyday the same. If you look for a good place to relax I fully recommend that Hotel.

We stayed for 10 nights at hotel akbulut and must say it is very clean, well equipped and enjoyable for a relaxing holiday! The first few nights we did find the hotel a little boring of an evening due to no entertainment and I didn’t find there was much interaction from the waiting staff but it didn’t ruin our holiday or make me feel unwanted or unwelcome. The staff were very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. After a few nights of walking around in the evening we did find an exceptional little cafe that all the Turks go to. The owner is exceptional. Him and his brother work so hard, they’re so friendly and would highley recommend a visit up the town to visit the tea shops. The beach was lovely! Unfortunately it is a stone beach but that obviously can’t be helped and does not make a difference to the holiday. The hotel beach does have a man made sand beach area which is lovely. The variety of drinks are a bit limited and we did end up having a very sober holiday but again, we are not big drinkers so this didn’t bother us. Whilst you are at the hotel, please take time to visit the national park, the first beach you come to is STUNNING. Definitely a holiday highlight! I would like to make a special mention for the lovely receptionist, Lili. She was the kindest soul and recommended places to visit. Would talk to us for ages when we went down and really did make our holiday special. She is a fantastic addition to the hotel and such a warm welcome. Over all we would highley recommend this hotel if you are going as a couple and for a completely relaxing holiday where you don’t plan on doing much. (The dolmus is about 30-45 minute drive to kusadasi) This may change as the season opens up a little more as it is still early may but for us, it was perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The hotel is quiet, well-maintained, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The food was one of the highlights, with a wide variety of delicious traditional Turkish dishes to try every day. The sea is clean, and the beach is just a short walk away. The rooms are not brand new, but they are clean and well looked after. A special thanks to the SPA team, especially Uğur and Gülnara. They are true professionals, very attentive, welcoming, and excellent at what they do. Their care and expertise made my vacation even more enjoyable. One area that could be improved is the Wi-Fi connection, which was quite weak and unstable during my stay. Overall, this is a great place for a relaxing holiday and offers good value for money. I would happily come back.

the location is so good and it’s so cozy here, the people are so helpful and funny the rooms are small but comfortable and clean and the workers are also funny, organized, helpful and kind. meals are also very good and tasty. there are a lot of sports to play on the beach and at the hotel. the atmosphere is so chill here. noise level is decent.

The entertainment at the hotel was fantastic! A special thanks to Menderes, who was incredibly kind, friendly, and intelligent. He made our stay so much more enjoyable and created a wonderful atmosphere every day. Thank you for making our holiday even more memorable!

Very good beach, good prepare for guest. You can play in few games during the day and on the night you can dance under the stars. We also spend nice time on the ship that was recommended here.
