Akkan Hotel Marina - Adults Only

In short: - A good size, clean, reasonably priced room with all the facilities you need - Excellent location - Staff are indescribably helpful - letting me stay in a sister hotel, driving me to the hotel I was supposed to be at, letting me use the pool in their sister hotel, getting me a towel so I could swim, storing my luggage for me, contacting my transfer bus for me - all without asking for anything in return. In long: I was originally booked to stay at Akkan Marina Hotel, but after a mix up with the transfers, I ended up at the Akkan Beach hotel. A mix up in the middle of the night in a completely new country while travelling solo is the definition of stressful. Akkan staff took the stress away, they let me stay in the beach hotel, made sure I had everything I needed & were incredibly friendly. I was only staying 1 night, but even after checking out at noon the next day, they were more than happy for me to sit by the pool until I was ready to leave, even bringing me a towel so I could swim, they let me know there was a shower available, stored my luggage for me & even gave me a lift to the hotel I was supposed to be at once I was ready. The breakfast is served buffet style & is traditional Turkish, including an array of meats, cheeses, bread, olives & salad, as well as coffee & tea. I arrived on the Friday evening, & found you can hear music from the nightclubs nearby, however it didn't keep me awake & is in close proximity if you are looking for some nightlife. I cant fault the hotel or staff & I thank them for their hospitality. I stayed at Akkan Marina hotel the next week for a night & they were just as friendly & accommodating as at Akkan Beach hotel. The rooms were very spacious, close to shops, amenities & bars. Excellent experience, & made me feel very comfortable as a solo traveller. Akkan Marina hotel doesn't have a pool, but they were happy for me to go to Akkan Beach hotel (about 20 minute walk away) & use that pool there. When it came to my departure, my transfer bus was late & there were some complications. The receptionist was more than happy to help contact the supplier for me & organise my pick-up, which was extremely helpful considering I don't speak Turkish. Overall, they made everything easier for me, excellent experience.
