A Romantic Escape to Remember – One of Our Favorite Places Ever
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re currently enjoying a 10-day romantic getaway at Hotel Joya Del Mar in Marmaris, Turkey, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with another couple who are our closest friends. We've traveled extensively over the years and stayed at many excellent resorts and hotels around the world—but this one has quickly become one of our absolute favorites.

From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the hotel’s charm and warmth. Our standard room with a sea view is right on the beach and features a very comfortable king-size bed—perfect for relaxing while listening to the gentle sounds of the sea.

This is an all-inclusive hotel, and the food has been nothing short of outstanding. The variety and quality are impressive, and the Turkish cuisine in particular is exceptional—elevated, flavorful, and truly unforgettable.

What really makes Joya Del Mar special, however, is the staff. We’ve never experienced such genuinely friendly and caring service. While not all staff members are fluent in English, they more than make up for it with warmth and sincerity. I had a minor request on our first day that was initially overlooked, but the way the staff responded afterward was above and beyond—offering multiple kind gestures and attention that truly touched us.

A special mention must go to Gizem and Emre at the reception—two incredibly polite, helpful, and gracious young people who made us feel truly welcomed.

The beach is small but beautiful, a perfect spot to unwind. The only slight downside is the nearby yacht club, which partially obstructs the view. But considering Marmaris is the yacht capital of Turkey, it's a common sight and doesn’t detract much from the overall experience.

We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable stay and will absolutely recommend Hotel Joya Del Mar to all our friends. We sincerely hope to return again soon!

Very good alternative to the port in Marmaris. Peace, quiet, reasonable prices. The restaurant is quite exquisite. Prices are moderate. If someone pays a few hundred euros to come here to eat a kebab for a few euros, they should look somewhere else. The only disadvantage of the restaurant is the relatively expensive drinks (wine). Beautiful, quiet beach. I would gladly come back here. I have not been to the hotel so I do not know what the conditions are like.

Some of the rooms are in another building outside the hotel campus. The staff are a bit rude. The rooms lack many basic amenities. The beach is amazing

Just seen the last few reviews and can't believe it's the same place! We came for day visit, booked via hotels WhatsApp link and no issues with this at all. Service is great, very unintrusive and non pushy leading to a very relaxed day. If you want a drink and a waiter is not passing by as soon as you get up one comes to you, all staff really helpful and friendly...you're not hassled to keep buying. We have eaten lunch there the last couple of days, food of excellent quality and service great. Prices are very good too. The swimming among boats post I can't understand? The boats are well away from the beach which is incredible by the way...proper sand and clear water. We came for 1 day and will have done 4 by the end of our holiday, wish we'd gone sooner.
