“Fantastic place - really nice holiday!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My partner and I went to this hotel last year (as the Litera Marmaris Beach Resort) and it was absolutely fantastic. It was on the hillside so it was quite a walk to get up to your rooms, but you are told this anyway (or you can at least see from the pictures) plus after all the food I'd eaten, it was good to have a little work out!!

The food is lovely (a bit repetitive) however, there is a lot of choice and the desserts are to die for!

All hotel staff are friendly if you give them the time of day and don't use the typical English attitude of turning your noses down at them.

The rooms were simple but clean and that's all I was hoping for. You had plug sockets that looked like they were on the pi$$ (excuse the french) but they were usable.

The weather was absolutely fantastic and the swimming pool whilst massive, was extremely clean.

Two concerns:
1) There were quite a few wasps at the top of the hill were the sauna is, but I do believe they have sorted that now.
2) I didn't agree with them cooking food outside (like squid and octopus) as it was attracting wasps and flies, but they only did this the once so may have realized - plus I didn't eat it anyway.

ADVICE:
If anyone is venturing out to: BAR STREET (i.e: the local strip of clubs) I wouldn't bother. Cocktails are about 15 Lira - working out to be about £6 each - a rip off!

Turkey isn't for everyone - I've been a good 5/6 times and love the place & weather, however, my other half has said he doesn't want to go back because of the people (the men are really leery) but each to their own I guess.

Remember, any 3, 4 or even 5* abroad is NOT going to be the same as back home because of the high standards we have. At the end of the day - any holiday is what you make of it! We had a fantastic time and might even see you this year!! :)

If you want any pictures or anything - let me know I've got loads.

Vicki :)

Room Tip: Don't pay for air con - Just turn it on!!

“DO NOT GO, YOU WILL BE SORRY AND ILL, AS WE WERE.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

Service was atrocious. There is actually NO Hotel there, just small dirty apartments scatterred up a hillside.Extremely difficult due to the number of stepsand hills to access. We would give 1 star only and that would be for the pool - the only nice thing about the place.The room was filthy, neither bedding or towels were changed.Food was poor quality and cold. When you try to complain everyne looses there ability to understand English!! They do not want to know - Our recommendation would be to holiday anywhere else but here.

“PLEASE READ * Honest review with pics*”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I am always wary about reading bad reviews as well as leaving them, and you can see from our other reviews we do leave an honest account of the (recent) places we have been to. We holiday on the cheap as well as some expensive trips so are aware of the differences to expect (most of the time!!) and we don't have snobby standards, just apprecate a place to be like it is sold which this is not.

We were sold the Litera as a last minute deal as another resort was sold out - 11 nights all inclusive - 5 STAR accom!! we only paid just over £1100 for 2 which was cheap rate. Regardless of the bargain It was the biggest let down we have encountered for years. Some of the faults but certainly not all...

1.This is a 2 to 3 star and it will still be poor on expectations.
2.all inclusive means very poor food, restaurant is not very clean, food selection is terrible - breakfast was the worst we have ever seen. Terrible coffee and awful food.
3.bar service was unbelievably poor. It closes at 11pm for all inclusive regardless if you are waiting and we were charged 25 TLR for 2 branded vodkas after this. The bar staff pocketed the money and refused to serve spirits in anything but the smallest of tumblers (2 mouthfuls and they're gone). The lager isn't even Efes and is almost definitely watered. No bottled beer, very little mixers (non fresh) - can't even offer a decent cocktail. Staff here were very cheeky, sometimes offensive.
4.There are no fresh fruit juices anywhere - the endless supply of cherry and orange flavoured water is a powdered mix! Even the fresh fruit at breakfast is poor.
5. Rooms were very basic, unclean with air con units that failed to regulate temperature. Bedding was horrible, not even a tea/coffee making facility in double sea view room!! Cleaners were rubbish, didn't clean the shower once which was evident as when we arrived we found matted hairs from previous guests. Big sweaty hand marks on walls, stained furniture.
6.Steps - like you would not believe and when there are no steps there are very steep inclines. Look at some of our photos.
7.Turkish baths were a con - non of the pics were of the real place which was a mouldy run down building. Public toilets were very bad.
8. So poor we jumped on the half hour bus each morning for breakfast in Marmaris, where we spent the most of the days and evenings, including meals and drinks.
9.Shop is just an excuse for a shop, even had a pile of old towels from previous guests!
10.No Internet

The good bits..
1.Location is great, very quiet with a nice private area along the water to enjoy the sun or water sports. You even get the odd group of dolphins making a brief appearance (late in the day/early evening)
2.Sea view is lovely.
3.Pool is nice. It looks great but it's just nice. Good size but badly maintained and could do with updating. Parasols are non rectractable and fixed firm to the ground - can be a pain if you are chasing a tan - hit the small paved beach area instead if you insist on going.
4.Some of the staff are nice (some are plain rude and could do with washing daily)

I could go on but it would become a rant. I will put up some pics and strongly advise that if you are looking for a place in Marmaris then look elsewhere. All inclusive doesn't suit the area very well. The town and marina are very nice and worthy of exploring for food and drinks and mixing with the locals and other holiday makers.

Overall very nice location, the only problem is you'll end up wanting to get out of it to get decent food, drinks and to escape the very cheap vibe that the place has.

We hate leaving bad feedback but in this case we think it's a fair warning.

I will add more photos.

“it was ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

we stayed at the litera marmaris beach resort, wen we got there we were so tierd we just wanted to get sum sleep but before we even got to our room we had to climb a steep hill then down lots of steps, wen we eventually got to our room we sat on the beds and they were damp everything was damp, we reported to our rep but she wasnt interested. the food was nice sum nights but the rest of the time it wasnt. there was no entertainment on a night it was just one game of bingo and then it was a case of amusin urselves. the town centre was a 10 min bus ride and the last bus into town was bout 11.30 then u had to pay for a taxi bk wich we paid 37 lira for (rip off) the nyt life in the town centre was amazing. the pool was disgustin the first day it had a dead frog in it and a black bag we found out it was only opened the day before we arrived. it was a case of making wat u had a good and fun time but i wouldnt recommend to old couples and kids.
