We had been to Marmaris/Icmeler about 8 years ago and stayed next door in the Marmaris Palace so we knew the location and the surrounding area.

The Hotel itself was fine and the reception staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and tidy, with sheets being changed on a regular basis. There were also nice towel displays by the maid.

There was no entertainment other than a guy who put a compilation CD on the decks and then vanished until someone either complained about the music or it stopped. The bar staff were by in large friendly although they could be a bit miserable.

I had read before we went that the food was hit and miss, so went with an open mind. However, my open mind lasted 2 days! The food was luke warm at best, very little choice and the salad bar appeared to be on display from 7am until 9pm. Most people we spoke to said the food was very poor but it was end of season!! The only ones who appeared to thoroughly enjoy the food, particularly the kiddies food (chips, burgers, sausages) were the cats. One of which loved to jump into the chips at every opportunity.

The food in nearby Icmeler is very good and reasonably priced. We can recommend Cupids and the Florida Bar, both excellent.

Speaking to one family who had stayed 3 weeks and who left on our 2nd day, they said that their 1st 2 weeks were excellent. Food and entertainment good with plenty of variety and warm. Maybe we just chose the wrong week. On that note I would recommend you visit this hotel no later than the 1st October to avoid disappointment.

Despite the above we had a relaxing and enjoyable break, made good by the location and some nice people.

It was our 2nd time to Turkey but 1st time at this hotel and what bad timing !!!!
The hotel had virtually shut down with builders working from 7am causing havok, no entertainment during the day or night and the food choice was shocking. There was no activities at all and staff fed up and just wanting to go home which was just like most of the guests we spoke to. It was very poor value for money as we had to eat out for half of our holiday duration. The rooms were nice and tidy but the dining area was dirty and food was on the floor for numerous days which the many cats seemed to enjoy, even the one laid in the chip warmer. The surrounding areas of marmaris and icmeler are very nice and the boat trips, speed boat and jetski hire are very good value.
The hotel positioning is nice but would obviously be much better to visit earlier in the year if your able to but very dissappointing near the end of the season.

Just returned from a week at the Marmaris Park hotel; leaving the hotel on what was actually the last day of the season for the hotel. This meant that over the last few days the hotel has been very quiet - only 6 guests left on the final night! - which was fine by me but worth bearing in mind if you're looking for a more lively holiday. Until early October the hotel offers an entertainment programme and 2 ala carte restaurants, however neither of these was operating due to the low occupancy. Nonetheless there was still a huge amount of choice at all meals and the staff were excellent; very friendly and attentive.

The hotel is located between ichmeler and marmaris and both resorts can be reached within minutes by 'dolmus' bus or watertaxi. The resorts in general offered plenty of activities and given that the season was coming to an end we managed to go on some trips at bargain prices - boat trips and jeep safaris were less than £8 per head, including lunch! We also had a traditional Turkish bath arranged through one of the local tour offices for just £5 each - a great experience for all visitors as long as you don't mind getting wet. Both resorts offer plentiful shopping and weekly markets where you can test both your patience and your haggling skills; make sure you leave space for plenty of purchases in your luggage as the check in staff at Dalaman airport were very strict regarding weight limits for hold luggage so at £8 per excess kilo your 'genuine fakes' may turn out to be somewhat more expensive than you initially anticipated....

We stayed in a room in the main building which was big and roomy; the bathroom was relatively basic but the shower (no bath) was always hot and powerful. These rooms would be quite noisy in the summer as they are located directly above the entertainment area, but were perfect given how quiet it was.

The food is varied; don't come expecting a typical 'full English' but there is always plenty of choice of both hot and cold options at every meal. Breakfasts included eggs, meats, pancakes, toasted sandwiches, cereals, toast and the all important baked beans. Lunch and dinner always included soups and salads as well as hot choices and a vast array of desserts. A lot of the food was quite heavily seasoned which i enjoyed, however I can appreciate that this may not be to everyone's tastes.
Alcoholic and soft drinks, including tea and coffee, are available all day long from several bars. The alcoholic drinks are of the 'local' variety but generally very drinkable, especially bearing in mind the excellent value of the hotel.

The hotel does not have a beach but has a spacious sun deck over the sea, which was perfect for swimming in. The outdoor pool was a bit too cold to use at this time of year; there is also an indoor pool, sauna and steam room if you fancy a brief escape from the sun.

Overall I had an excellent week at Marmaris Park; the hotel offers a very good value stay and I couldn't fault the service offered by the staff. The hotel is undergoing some renovations and extension over the winter and I would certainly consider visiting again, perhaps slightly earlier in the season next time so that I could appreciate the full compliment of activities and services on offer

Well I hadn't considered Turkey before but my wifes friend had just booked for the second time so the decision was made.The transfer from the airport took about 90 mins.The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly.The all inclusive menu was tasty and varied and the bars served all inclusive right through till 1 am.The pool area had plenty of free padded loungers and the staff kept the area spotless. We visited the markets to get the "real fake" t shirts which were sold by the Turks as cheaper than Tesco and cheaper than shoplifting.Also did the " jimmy boy " boat trip which was definately a trip worth having and gave us the enjoyable diving from the boat and island swims.The weather was excellent and the only downside was the hotel entertainment which was very poor. We would certainly consider going back to Turkey again because the holiday seemed to be over before we were ready to leave.
