We spent two weeks at Rixos Göcek from late June to mid-July. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is set among lush, well-kept gardens with low-rise houses dotted across the grounds, giving it a tranquil, relaxed feel rather than a typical hotel vibe.
Highlights:
• 🌊 Secret Beach: reached by a regular daily boat shuttle from People’s Restaurant. We enjoyed the ride each day, like a mini coastal tour. The schedule was also more regular during peak busy moments (e.g., morning, lunch, and at 4-5pm).
• 🍽️ Food: Turquoise, the main buffet, was excellent with freshly grilled meats, fish, salads, dips and desserts. Ice cream was a standout! Tepenyaki was worth the extra cost, and the patisserie offered new treats daily. Thanks to chef Alican and team. The food at the secret beach was also excellent.
• 🍹 Drinks & service: great variety, with staff rollerblading cocktails to sunbeds. Special thanks to Hamza for his effortless mixing at the hotel pool bar - including making drinks that weren’t on the menu.
• 🏋🏻♀️ Wellness: a brilliant programme of yoga, CrossFit, Pilates, cycling and trekking. Evening beach yoga under the stars was magical. Thanks to the team Svetlana, Dino and Sidy for their energy.
• 🧼 Cleanliness: toilets, grounds and public spaces were always spotless.
• 🐱 Cats: around 20 hotel cats, well fed, healthy and friendly — lovely to see how much care was taken to look after them.
• 🛌 Rooms: comfy beds with pillow options, plus optional linen change during longer stays.
Room for improvement:
• No body moisturiser in the rooms.
• Some areas could use light refurbishment (e.g., bedroom door frames, some outdoor stonework).
• Breakfast coffee was sadly very poor in Turquoise, though Starbucks on site opened at 9am so it wasn’t a big issue.
• Strong AC/fans in Turquoise restaurant sometimes made seating tricky as you had to pick the right spot.
Overall, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay and would definitely recommend Rixos Göcek. Special thanks to colleagues Esra at Nox bar and Omer on our last day for his excellent service and kindness. We left with many warm memories of our time by the Aegean and a super memory of Turkey!

Good evening.
I would like to sincerely thank you for the excellent service, outstanding hospitality, and the overall wonderful experience at your hotel. Everything was truly delightful, except for one aspect — the boat tour. Unfortunately, it did not reflect the same level of quality and luxury that your hotel represents.
We were expecting a more luxurious experience, especially since the tour was introduced as new. However, it turned out to be quite disappointing.
I kindly request that you share this feedback with the management.
I personally would have preferred a shorter (2-hour) tour, but on a truly luxurious boat.
Thank you once again for your warm hospitality and care.
Best regards,

Beautiful setting , all inclusive resort excellent experience. Food is excellent, tasty. Great entertainment. They could improve the quality of drinks , but I guess they don’t want guests overdoing it . Beach area service and food is exceptional. Aiesha if I get her name right was always very caring towards guests. Definitely try the complimentary boat ride to visit and swim around the islands.. fantastic resort

Amazing hotel and holiday experience. Modern, clean and spacious rooms set in immaculate gardens. Fantastic food in the restaurants. Amazing service around the stunning pool and even better…….virtually nobody is reserving sunbeds around the pool.
Thank you Rixos for a brilliant holiday. We’ll definitely book with you again.
Highly recommended.

Great stay at this hotel. The facilities are excellent. The private beach has all the facilities on offer and the shuttles are available regularly. There are several places to eat on site and the food variety is good. The staff are friendly and well trained . There are plenty of facilities to suit all tastes with little extras thrown in. This was our second stay and plan to return next year.
