"Returning to Paradise: Our Unforgettable Stay at D Maris Bay
There are places you visit once—and then there are places that call you back. For us, D Maris Bay is the latter. After a blissful stay in May, we knew we had discovered something extraordinary. So, we returned for another 10 nights, and once again, it was pure magic.
Nestled in a breathtaking corner of the world, D Maris Bay is more than just a luxury resort. It’s a sanctuary where nature’s beauty meets impeccable hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in serenity—crystal-clear waters, lush landscapes, and sunsets that seem to pause time.
But what truly sets this place apart is its people.
Every meal, every moment on the beach, every interaction with the staff felt personal and heartfelt. While we wish we could name everyone who made our stay so special, a few deserve a special mention:
• Rojda – A shining example of grace and kindness, always ready with a warm smile and thoughtful conversation.
• Muhammed – The soul of the lobby bar, whose charm and service made every evening memorable.
• Busra – Our popcorn girl (she will understand) and for doing absolutely everything possible to make our trip perfect. Always with a smile
• Yusuf – The friendly face at DD Scoop, serving up daily joy with every scoop of ice cream.
To the entire team—thank you. You’ve created a place that feels like home, only better. We left with full hearts and a promise to return again.

"The staff were fantastic and lovely, even with the language barrier. The suites with private pools are not private in any way. They state that they speak English and Turkish, unfortunately that wasn’t the case for our two nights. Maybe it’s because it’s not high tourist season, but probably best not or advertise that if is not the case. Overall its concept is great but just doesn’t quite hit it, which is a little disappointing considering the cost of the suites. "
"The breakfast was very good, everything was delicious. the room made us feel we are special guests in the hotel. the staff was friendly and helpful.
hope to stay again next year"
"If this hotel included access to the beach, it would be perfect! But for the price, it is excellent: our room was ample, light, and clean. The staff was warm and helpful. It’s near the ferry and bus. And, though the Turkish breakfast is the same every day, it’s fresh and healthy. I make one suggestion: provide chairs, umbrellas, and towels for guests who want to visit the beach, even if there’s a small charge. "
"This hotel is overrated on Hotels.com and not worth £100 per night. The first room was inadequately cleaned, and the shower tap was broken. The second room was also not properly cleaned, so we requested a refund and checked out at midnight. Hopefully, the refund will be processed in the morning."
If you're looking for something a little different than your standard hotel, a bed and breakfast might be the perfect option for your trip.
