“Very average but still enjoyed it.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

Myself, partner and two children had a week here in August 2011, the weather was fantastic around 40C everyday. The resort its self is in the middle of no where so if your going to venture out a taxi will be needed but there is a taxi rank right outside the hotel as well as a bus stop. We arrived at 3am but the reception were still helpfull, checked us in quick and then took us by golf buggy to our room. The hotel lobby ect is nice, clean and tidy. The room was very standard and basic and not as clean as I would of liked, loads of stains on the carpet as well. Bathroom was ok although the shower was blocked but they did come and sort that out the next day after we informed them. Bed was comfortable and bedding clean. The pool areas are clean, we had four pools on offer to us, one with some slides, a quiet one and the bigger main one with a small baby pool, not enough sun loungers im sorry to say. The view was lovely but the sand on the beach is awfull, very shingley and the sea wasnt as clear as I thought it might be, more a dark dirty green. The food wasnt too great, there were alot of German, Polish ect there in fact only 2 english familys including us, and the food is very much catered for them, to be expected i suppose as they have to cater for the masses, Im a man that knows good food and very happy to try new things but im not snobby with it, although alot of the food I didnt enjoy, the dessets all look great but dont taste as good as they look. My partner and kids are abit finerky with food and didnt eat much to be honest. As for drinks there was pleny of that so no problems there although only one beer option but it was nice so that was ok. At night time there isnt much to do, there is some entertainment on but we only watched a few shows as they where quite adult orientated and sometimes just down right rude, women dressed as stripers with little thongs on bending over and waving there bum and the crowd leaving very little to the imagination, like something you would see in a strip club, this is not family entertainment if you ask me and myself, partner and other english family all felt the same, even our kids said whats this, this isnt for children and asked to leave. Most of the staff were polite and happy to help you.
Over all we didnt have a bad stay and enjoyed it as a holiday is what you make it and understand that you might not like everything everywhere you go. It cost us £2600 for the week and wasnt worth it, no where near. If you get it at the right price though consider giving it a go.

“Beautiful but a let down!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

person found this review helpful

A beautiful hotel but a let down with the entertainment and cleanliness of the room. When beds were made no dusting was done and our carpets had not been cleaned. We went in oct and was the end of the season, no entertainment for us, half the facilities were open, staff not pleasent and i felt they were forced to help me with my queries! Food was ok desserts were lush! Drinks..... Not much variety. Location... Need a taxi to get into marmaris town which takes about 20 min to get to. Met a lovely family who made this holiday for us and without them i think me and my partner would not have enjoyed it as much. Overall not a 5* hotel i would say it is a 4*.

“Experience of our stay at Marmaris Resort Hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

We have just returned from the Marmaris Resort Hotel which we booked to celebrate our 47th wedding aniversary. The hotel has a 5 star rating in Turkey but we would consider it no more than 3 star in the UK. The rooms were clean and servicable and cleaned every day. The resort has a spectacular location for the scenery etc but the food in the main dining room is atrocious and the two other restaurants were closed. We had to take a bus or taxi (30min) into Marmaris town to eat and pay, although we alledgedly were all inclusive. Any food which was provided was very unappetising and cold and the same for Lunch and Dinner. We complained to the manager but got nowhere. We also paid £100.00 extra for sea view room. The hotel was almost empty (ie only 8 guests left on the last day) so couldn't understand the extra charge for the sea view room which we paid for before we left home. There was no entertainment, no beer on draught and for the last three days we had to request that they brought in some bottled beer since we were being informed it had ran out after some persusion we manage to get some. They were generally running out of provisions. This was just a joke for an all inclusive five start holiday. The final straw was they didn't even have an egg to serve for breakfast on the day we left. We did have had superb weather which helped a lot. Suffice to say we will certainly not be returning to this hotel.

“definately not a 5 star - in fact only just a 3”

Arrived on the 17th October after a long journey to a not so welcoming reception and a rude porter expecting a tip. Rained for the 1st 2 days so no entertainment which disappointing. bar staff were lazy - 5 star hotel serving beer out of a bowl full of ice - i say serving - you had to help yourself and reach over the bar to get a glass and whilst the barman stood there looking at you. Far to many staff just walking around trying to look busy no eye contact, no thankyou, no manners. I appreciate it is the end of the season however they still take our 5 star money so should still deliver what they say on the website. Food was warm at best - the only variety was the soup. Don;t get me wrong i can see that in the height on the season that this resort could deliver everything it offers and they do tease you on the numerous karaoke nights to pictures of fantastic entertainment provided previously on the projectors. However, my point is that we still paid exactly the same so expected to get the same. In conclusion stay clear of this resort - I have never complained in my life about a holiday but felt utterly compelled to let you all know about our experience of a shabby joke of a as I said before 3 star hotel.
