“2nd time visiting the Grand Ideal Premium May 2012”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

it has improved from last year. the entertainment has improved from last year. the pizza and pancakes are the best. the rest of the food can be repetitive. they seem to use the same ingredients to make lots of different things. hotel staff are very friendly. the pool is a good size. it is a very clean hotel. it has something for everyone. i would say kids from 8 to 15 might find it a bit boring, as there is no kids club. i would recommend this hotel to other people. i think the hotel management need to maintain the décor better, as when i as there the floor was lifting in the upstairs lounge area. it is a good hotel as a base to explore from. it is good value for money, however i would say its only a four star instead of a five.

Room Tip: get a room that overlooks the pool

“exceptionally clean hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

the hotel is in a very good position just minutes from the beach, but the beach is not very clean and needs a good clean, obviously not the hotels fault

the hotel is spotless, everywhere, they were even scrubbing the sunbeds down with soapy water one evening, found the staff lovely and tanya was great at sorting out a cake and decorating the table for us as it was a friends birthday whilst we were there. the pool area is very large with plenty of sunbeds umbrellas and mattresses plus free pool towels, the rooms i think seem to vary in size but ours was great, you get a fridge and a free safe deposit box and once again the cleaning of the rooms was excellent.

however i would not go back, there's lots of waiters but they wont serve you, they will clear your glasses but they want you to go to the bar and queue up!! in the two weeks we were there got served only once by a waiter. There's quite a nice small inside cafe where you can get tea and coffee etc, but if you asked for a hot drink, you usually got a small stick to stir your tea up with, as they only had a few teaspoons and you couldnt take the milk jug with you as it was the only one they had, you have to remember this is suppose to be a 5 * hotel, i went in one afternoon and the young lady that was serving was in the back, so i left it a few minutes then shouted hello to try to attract her attention, but she didn't hear me so i waited a few more minutes, then the phone rang, she came out answered it and i asked her for my drinks, she asked me to wait, she then got a tray ready, did 3 apple teas, found 3 teaspoons and washed them, then took them to the managers office while i waited to be served.

there was a lovely reception area with comfy chairs, you could sit there but there was a sign on the table that said no drinks allowed, very strange for a hotel.

this was by far the nosiest hotel i have ever stayed at, the music round the pool started at 10.15 in the morning and finished about half 11/12 at night. our room was on the 4th floor but you couldn't sit out on your balcony and have a read or a drink because of the music, it was so loud, animation only interested in the younger end. we sat out a few nights but couldn't have a chat cos of the music, the only other place we could sit in an evening was in the cafe area, great till about 11pm when the disco started, which was situated inside the hotel just facing the cafe area, as soon as the door opened for people going in our out or going to the toilets you had to stop talking till the door shut, it wasn't as bad the 1st week but the 2nd week it just got louder and louder and there was no one to ask to turn it down, you could hear the music through the closed door.

the dining room was a mad house and it was only open for 2 hours each evening and the staff just couldn't cope with the number of people, i think an extra half hour would of made all the difference, constantly queueing up for the grill and for chips seemed to be the norm, im sorry but not my type of food, not into chicken wings, they had chicken on all the time but only the cheap cuts, no beef no lamb no carvery, lots of veg and salads tho, breakfast was good and plenty of choices, made fresh eggs for you and pancakes, didn't see any omelettes, and obviously no bacon or pork,

had booked to go back later in the year, but have cancelled it, couldn't bare the thought of another 2 weeks of living in a disco, such a shame as a lovely hotel but ruined by loud music

“Beautiful Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel was gorgeous and very clean, rooms good size and very nice. Food was not amazing but was quite good.
The location was excellent, close to the beach and in the quieter end of Marmaris close to Icmeler but still close to shops bars and restaurants without all the noise.
Pool in hotel was lovely and they do turkish baths, they are cheaper to book outside the hotel but would highly recommend doing it.
Make sure you have a safe though as my fiance had money stolen by the maid, the reception staff were having none of it but i know there was sterling missing out of his walletwhich she was helping herself too as no-one else entered our room and we didnt need to change any money whilst there as had more than enough Lira. Just to make other travellers aware, but this wouldnt put me off going there again as it was our fault not taking the safe out straight away.
Entertainment was a not upto much but theres lots to see & do in the resort it didn't bother us.

“Lovely break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel was lovely and absolutely spotless. We had a room on the ground floor which was good. We used the stairs down to the pool, there are lifts for those less mobile or with pushchairs but they were very busy. There was some noise from the night club (which we did go to) but nothing too bad but maybe a different case in the height of the season. Room was a good size, shower was fantastic and the housekeeping service was excellent. Safe in the room is free you just need to ask reception for a key. The beds were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. We managed for the week but for two weeks I don't know if we would have coped. Service was good in all areas of the hotel. We used the spa on the first day and compared to others I have been to the Turkish bath was great and well worth it. Pool area was lovely with plenty of beds. The pool was a little chilly but with the weather being so good it was nice to go for a dip to cool off. There is a shop by the pool which sold newspapers, ice creams etc. Bar was fine, food was ok, some days better than others but you could always find something. Staff were really helpful and on our last day with a late flight they have courtesy rooms where you can shower and get ready free of charge.I have never used a hairdresser on holiday before but did use the salon on site for a wash and blow dry which was cheap and very good. Good location and there is good cafe across the road that serves a full English breakfast for about £3 if you indulge in the free bar a little too much!
