“EXCELLENT LOCATION!!! BEST APARTMENTS IN ALTINKUM!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

This year will be our sixth time staying at Royal Marina, the staff at the complex are really helpful and make you feel at home. The apartments have 24hr security and a reception. There are two pools (one of them quiet) and a kiddies splash pool. On site there is also a reasonable priced restaraunt for when you dont fancy venturing out offering a full range of foods from snacks to main meals. Everywhere in Altinkum is really cheap and i can honestly say i have never experienced a bad meal here. There are a few beaches in Altinkum, the main beach can get quite busy during the summer month but that is simply because it is so beautiful...afterall Altinkum does mean sandy beach in turkish. The apartments are just a five minute walk from the centre of the resort, but shops bars and restaurants can be found on the door step. Royal Marina benefits from being in a quieter area set back from the center but is so easy to have a leisurly stroll into Altinkum. There is a waterpark in altinkum also, just on the outskirts, which can be reach by dolmus (local buses) for around 2lira. I would really recommend the area for families with younger and older children as the bars there really cater for everyone, there is only 1 outdoor nightclub which is about 15mins from the apartments. There are plenty of shops for your designer goods,jewllery and perfume and all at really good prices. There is a harbour down at 2nd beach, there is a really nice bar at the end of the jetty here, which is fantastic to sit with a cocktail in your hand watching the sun setting : )
HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEOPLE!! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the years!

Recommended restaraunts : Big Bens, Valentines!!
Recommended Bars : Swan Bar

Room Tip: All rooms are great here, to try and avoid noise from the bar (which is normally quiet anyway apart...

“Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Well I cant say a bad thing about these apartments, they are cheap for Altinkum, 5 years old so everything around the apartments is still like new. The apartments are fully fitted with everything for a self catering holiday, hairdryer the lot!
The pools are fab and were not over crowded, we went bank holiday August.
The only downside to the apartments is the pool bar, it is overpriced considering how cheap Altinkum is. The food was nice but I think they need to reduce the prices more and I think more people would eat there for a snack. But do the Turkish night on a Thursday, such good fun and the bar staff get to know you a bit better too.
The hill to the main area is a bit steep if you are not able bodied but all restaurants do free taxi service.
Top tip for Altinkum: do not take Lira with you, go to Dolphin Silver Jewellers and they will give you a lot better rate than the exchange places, plus once the man gets to know you he will always give you a better rate. (eg 2.60 in england, we got 2.80 in Altinkum).
Oracle office is on site, dont use them for transfers as they are dearer, Iona Travel is £7.50 each each way to Bodrum.
A must do in Altinkum is the Jeep Safari, this is money well worth spent.
We are going back next July again

Room Tip: We were on a ground floor, not much sun on the balcony which suited us as it got sooo hot eating lun...

“Great place to stay with fantastic apartments!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

people found this review helpful

These apartments were fantastic, costing only £20 a night, it was an absolute bargain!
There are two pools and generally one of them is empty if you fancy a nice relaxing swim. The beaches are a bit of a walk, but only about 10mins away.

Have nothing negative to say about it !

NOTE - Avoid Altinkum during their public holidays the beaches are 'rammed' and many of the Turkish are EXTREMLY rude.

“Lovely clean appartments, very convenient to town”

I stayed in Royal Marina appartments with friends in Oct 2010. Although the weather wasn't brilliant we made the most of our holiday and had a great time. Oracle who manage these appartments organise lots of trips at very good prices. The complex is very clean and well maintained. There is a bar/restaurant on site and an excellent bar & restaurant just opposite the main entrance which was very handy at lunch time. There is also a 24 hour supermarket opposite the entrance to the complex which sells all your basic needs. There are 2 pools onsite however I never actually ventured into them. The town of Altinkum is close by, approx 5 - 10 mins stroll and Third Beach and the new marina are also within walking distance.
