Ramada Resort by Wyndham Kuşadası is a big, family-oriented beach resort in the city centre area of Kuşadası, on a private beach on Gazibegendi Boulevard. It has 275 rooms, from superior rooms with garden or partial sea views to family rooms of about seventy square metres, junior suites and king rooms. The facilities are extensive: three outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a children's pool and a waterslide, plus free access to a water park, and a free shuttle to the beach. The spa offers massages, facials, scrubs and wraps and a Turkish bath, with a gym, sauna, steam room and hot tub, and there are tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a games room and free supervised children's activities. Dining includes two restaurants, four bars and lounges, a poolside bar and a snack bar. Kuşadası Beach is a two-minute drive and the marina a fourteen-minute walk. The guest score is very good, though lower than the small Selçuk guesthouses.
Location and getting around
The resort sits in Kuşadası itself, so the town, the marina and the beaches are close, and Ephesus is reached by an organised tour, a taxi or a rental car. Selçuk station is about twenty minutes by car and the airport about an hour.
The property lists a round-trip airport shuttle for a fee. This is a good base for the boat trip, the jeep safari and a beach holiday, with the ruins as a day or half-day excursion, and it is a poor base if you want to walk to ancient sites in the evening.
Plan transfers in advance in the busy season. Rooms and facilities: the family rooms are generous, and many room types sleep three or four, which suits families. The property lists a wide range of facilities, from a library and a garden terrace to a games room, which gives guests plenty to do between excursions. Check-in is from two in the afternoon until half past nine at night, and check-out is before half past twelve.
The property accepts credit cards and does not accept cash, and an identification document and a deposit may be required at check-in. Pets are not allowed, and cribs are not available. Whether meals are included depends on your rate, since an all-inclusive plan is not stated, so read the rate description carefully.Good to know: the resort is closed from the start of December to mid-March, so it is a spring, summer and autumn choice.
Construction at a neighbouring building may cause noise, which is worth bearing in mind if you are a light sleeper. It suits families with children, groups and couples who want a resort with a spa and plenty of facilities, with sightseeing as a few days out. If you want to be near the ruins and the old town, choose Selçuk or Şirince instead, and if you want a smaller, quieter coastal hotel, compare it with other Kuşadası options before you decide.
