The Property — Sun Princess Hotel
The Sun Princess Hotel is a solid 3-star beachfront option on Sarigerme’s long sandy strip, about 25 minutes from Dalaman Airport. It feels like a no-fuss, family-run seaside hotel with a small pool, direct beach access, and a buffet restaurant that does decent Turkish home cooking. Ideal for budget-conscious couples or small families who want sun, sea, and simplicity without the all-inclusive resort chaos.
Chronicles of Mugla
Mugla city itself sits inland, founded by the Carians and later shaped by the Byzantines and Ottomans, with a well-preserved old quarter of whitewashed houses and mosques. The modern province is better known for its coastal resorts—Bodrum, Fethiye, and here, Sarigerme—which grew from fishing villages into tourism hubs from the 1980s onward. Contemporary Mugla balances agriculture (olives, citrus, tobacco) with a tourism economy that swells each summer. Culturally, it’s conservative but welcoming, with a strong local identity tied to the Aegean-Mediterranean mix.

- Sarigerme’s main beach road is resurfacing until July 2026 – expect minor delays and some construction noise near the hotel weekdays.
- Several local restaurants on the beachfront have introduced English menus and card payments, but cash (lira) is still king for small shops.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sun Princess Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3-5 facing the rear courtyard. These upper floors minimize street-level noise from Mugla's main road and offer a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 and 2 facing the street, as they pick up traffic and foot noise from the road. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor—the lift generates audible rumble during daytime and evening.
Best views
Rear courtyard rooms offer a green outlook over the hotel's garden—pleasant but not dramatic. Street-facing rooms give a view of Mugla's main road and distant hills, but come with traffic noise. No sea views at this inland property.
Quietest floors
Floors 3, 4, and 5. These sit above typical street noise and are served by a single lift, so footfall is lighter than lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Mugla's main road runs past the hotel; morning traffic picks up from 7am. The bar on the ground floor can be audible in nearby rooms until 11pm. Lift mechanics are audible in adjacent rooms, especially on floors 2-4 during peak times.
Insider tips
1. Parking is limited—arrive before 5pm to secure a spot in the small hotel lot; otherwise you may need to park on the street. 2. Check-in at 2pm but rooms are often ready earlier; call ahead to request early access if needed.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
