We have just returned from our 10-night honeymoon at Mardan Palace, and I genuinely don't think we will ever find another hotel that could top this experience!
What an absolutely stunning place! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the hotel. Every tiny detail has been carefully considered, the surroundings are breathtaking, and everywhere is kept immaculately clean.
We stayed in a traditional style room on the east side of the hotel, which was beautifully decorated and felt incredibly luxurious. Our room was cleaned to perfection every single day by our lovely housekeeper, who was always so pleasant and especially sweet with our three year old son. Our room also featured a jacuzzi bath, which quickly became a daily highlight for him!
The entertainment was truly exceptional! One of the things that impressed us most was the incredible standard of entertainment provided every evening. The children's entertainment was fantastic, and our son absolutely loved every minute of it. As for the adult entertainment, WOW! We have never experienced anything quite like it at a hotel before. Every evening felt like we were watching a professional West End production! The talent, costumes, choreography and overall quality of the performances were simply outstanding. It was something we looked forward to every single night.
The children's facilities deserve a solid 10/10! Pirate Island Splash Park was a firm favourite with our son. It catered brilliantly for children of all ages, with so much to explore and enjoy. As with the rest of the hotel, it was kept spotlessly clean. The Kids Club was equally impressive, offering a fantastic playground, soft play areas and various playrooms. Our son was completely spoilt for choice, and there was never a moment when he was short of something to do.
The food was another highlight of our stay. The standard of food throughout the resort was excellent. The main buffet restaurant offered an enormous selection of dishes, with something to suit every taste. We were also really impressed by the snack bars near the beach, which served delicious food of a consistently high standard.
Even on the occasional rainy day, there was still plenty to keep us entertained. We made use of the beautiful indoor swimming pool within the spa, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We also discovered the arcade and bowling alley, both of which were completely free to use! We spent many happy hours there with our son, and it was such a fantastic additional facility to have available.
A very special thank you to Saeed! I couldn't possibly leave this review without mentioning our wonderful assistant, Saeed. One evening, I accidentally dropped my Apple Watch over our room balcony, and it landed on the spa roof below! Despite it being his evening off, Saeed went completely out of his way to arrange for it to be retrieved and returned to me. What an absolute star! Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and his kindness and dedication really made a lasting impression on us.
In fact, every member of staff we encountered throughout our stay was exceptional. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive and genuinely lovely. They made us feel like royalty for the entire 10 days we were there.
Mardan Palace, you have completely stolen our hearts! We chose this hotel for our honeymoon because we wanted somewhere truly special, and it exceeded every expectation we had. The beautiful surroundings, outstanding facilities, incredible entertainment, delicious food and wonderful staff made this a holiday we will treasure forever.
Thank you for giving us the most magical honeymoon and for creating such wonderful memories for our little family.
We will absolutely be returning. In fact, we're already wondering how soon we can book again!
Without a doubt, the best hotel we have ever stayed in. ❤️
We came to Marden Palace to celebrate our mother’s birthday and the overall experience was beautiful from the food, Ambiance and service. Gülten the housekeeper was brilliant interacting with us and keeping our room tidy. It’s sad that we have to leave but we had an amazing time here.

Just wanted to write a review of this hotel fo other who may be considering booking here.... do it! We were a group of 10 ranging from 11-52 and it suited everyone's needs. (Including the fussy, 20 year olds!) Collectively we have stayed at a variety of Turkey hotels including Delphin be grand, maxx royal, selectum luxury, susesi and voyage sorgun and for us what we were looking for, some October sun it ticked all the boxes, with over all very little complaints. Rooms- we had 2 bed family rooms, would say if you are 4 in a room, consider booking premier family room. These have two bathrooms and we did enquire about upgrading when there but it was very pricy. We got on with it but would recommend the premier because of this- you also have to walk through the main bedroom to get to the toilet and shower- they are also not seperate which I have had before. The double bed was super hard, and overall the room a bit tired. This was the only real downside Drinks- mostly great, they will make any cocktail. At night at Mykonos bar the quality did seem to go down, but at lobby and during the day no complaints! Service was sometimes a little slow from sunbeds with the QR codes. The Starbucks on site was a huge bonus- think this has been a new addition since changing from titanic and was a huge bonus- a variety of Starbucks classic and milks( but ask for an extra shot!) Food- I have seen people say it's hard to get booked into but we emailed before and no issue doing so. We also changed a couple and it was fine to do so. We ate at Indian, Greek, steak, Asian (x2) Turkish and Italian and we enjoyed them all. The lunch options were all great (our favourite was the pizza and pasta) and we also went to the 24/7 a lot! We never ate in buffet for lunch or dinner so can't comment but fine for breakfast. Readily available croissants and pastries if you missed breakfast too. Entertainment- whilst we didn't go to the entertainment on main stage this was always busy. We did go to Mykonos and when it was open monkeys night club. These felt like real clubs/bars not just all inclusive venues. Would recommend tipping the waiters and they will look after you. Some of the group joined in darts and there was always something happening, like football volleyball, water polo etc, The pools are huge albeit a bit chilly at this time of year- the sea is warmer. You can always get a lounger however the ones on the pier go quick. We didn't use the waterpark (again just preference) it seemed to be aimed towards under 13s.
We also did a boat trip that we organised separately which was a great day out.
This is one of the few hotels that we had very little complaints about and everyone had a great time, would definitely consider booking this hotel again.
Perfect holiday, we would highly recommend this hotel. The staff are second to none. We’ve had the best holiday of our lives. The hotel staff and surrounding community were amazing. I cannot wait to come back again in the near future. Food is high quality and a very wide choice. Ala carte would highly recommend the beef grill and the Italian restaurant
Truly amazing time at this wonderful Hotel this was our first time visiting Turkey but not our last ,the Hotel is vast but the friendliness of the staff & quality of service made it very special, food was amazing drinks were top branded, kids club was excellent with loads of activities. must give a big shoutout to Yagmur and Murat in guest relations for all their assistance in booking restaurants and keeping us updated on daily activities, Thanks guys
