Amanruya

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.

I must say that the staff at this location is truly remarkable. Their level of service is simply outstanding and they always go above and beyond to ensure that guests have an exceptional experience. Additionally, the location itself is superb- it’s situated in a prime spot that’s easily accessible and offers a great view. The stylish decor also adds to the overall experience and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful and memorable stay.

The Amanruya is a luxury hotel that looks out over the Aegean where the resort's elegant stone and terracotta pavilions are connected by cobblestone walkways. The perks of the property include a glittering hillside infinity pool, a dainty Aman spa, a yoga studio, a three-story library tower, restaurant, the Amanruya Beach Club and guest pavilions with gardens, a pool and a pergola. I was delighted with my Pool Pavilion with great living area accompanied by a dining cove. A beautiful 4-post bed with curtains that could be drawn all the way around provided such a secretive slumber. The spacious interior reflected Turkish architecture graced by concrete and terrazzo arches. The marbleized bathroom was ever bit as nice as the rest of the room with double sink, a soaking tub and an enormous rain shower. Amanruya has one main dining restaurant where you can dine on a fusion of Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. My Beef Carpaccio, Seafood Linguini and Baklava were delicious. So, if you looking for a discreet resort, steeped in Turkish architecture..........then try the ...........Amanruya.......A Luxe Ladened Retreat. ,

Beautiful resort with all private pool villas overlooking the sea with design and feel of old Turkish architecture. Tons of charm and character. Very spread out over a large area right on the coast. The beach club is quite unique as beach clubs go!

This hotel is absolutely superb, one of my favourite Amans and I am already a big fan of the chain. The concept with the small individual villas with own pool works very well. The whole compound is serene. 5/5

In all honesty, the month of June is not the best time to visit this hotel. It is uncomfortably hot both outdoors and indoors. The air conditioners don't provide adequate cooling, and they make quite a lot of noise. The prices for the various outdoor sports and activities appear to be high. There is room for improvement in the English language abilities of the always helpful and super friendly employees. Breakfast is tasteful, the rest of the dining experience so so. The transfer by automobile to and from Bodrum was not a very comfortable experience. It would appear that the management has a bit of work to do before they can return this establishment back to the kind of hospitality that was once expected. Best of luck to you.

Classic, careful and beautiful Aman. A special place. I read an uncomplimentary review and I feel compelled to contribute to this site (which can sometimes be unhelpful in the singular grievance). This hotel is a beauty, like other Aman sites. I travelled with my teenage family ... nothing was a problem including unexpected health issues which were catered for with aplomb. Stunning isolation, perfect access to sea, private attention, beautiful staff everywhere . I feel very, very touched by some of the people and am despondent that my Turkish cannot thank them personally. if you appreciate Aman it will not disappoint. April
