Been to Melay Hotel/Club Atrium Marmaris for the last 5 years and booked already to go again next year, without a doubt this is the best hotel in Marmaris, the management, staff, food and rooms are fantastic. The staff are always friendly could not do enough for you, food in the Havana Restaurant is second to none, highly recomend the boat trips book with Rosa the lady near the Taj Pan chinese restaurant she is really good and gets you on a good boat. Rooms always very clean and the hairdresser is also fantastic. Tattoo Guy in the hotel always does well and I am tempted to have another one done next time. We always go here with friends that we have met and stayed in touch with every year and never had anything to complain about yet. Thank you to everyone at the Melay it is always a pleasure to book a holiday there every year .

we've just got back from turkey and what a holiday. the hotel staff were brilliant,nothing was too much trouble. the guys working in the Havana bar and Bar Cuba, Carlos,joey, Ossie and all the others were always laughing and joking and were great entertainment. If you fancy a good meal go to the Oasis restaurant, great meal,great prices. Don't book trips with the reps, they are too expensive, right next door to Oasis there is Al Pacino at A&S,he'll tell you about the trips and you'll get them at great prices, much cheaper than the rep. Great entertainment all through the day at the hotel, and great entertainment at the Havana bar and Bar Cuba. Give it a try.

My partner and I are both 25 and stayed in this hotel in August 2009.
Although we did have a great time on our holiday I would say that the hotel is better for families with children rather than couples. Families all seemed to be having a whale of a time!!
I wouldn't say the location is great as it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the beach and the restaurants and bars along the front, this didn't bother us too much - we're young and don't mind walking, and there were no hills - flat all the way. There are also plenty of nice restaurants around the hotel.
The pool area was always very busy but somehow we still managed to get sunbeds even though we usually weren't up until after 9:30. However on the mornings that we did get up earlier we could see that people were putting their towels down to reserve the best sunbeds at 7am (even though the hotel said that any towels left at this time would be moved - they weren't).
Food in the poolside snack bar was alright, nothing special but fair for the price.
Food and drinks in the restaurant were a decent standard for the price.
Entertainment was pretty terrible but my standards are fairly high as i am a singer/dancer anyway, so most people would probably find it entertaining.
At first some of the hotel staff seemed fairly miserable but as the holiday went on and they begin to recognise you they become more friendly.
The 'nightclub' in the hotel was fairly quiet but great for the families, especilly for those with children 15-16, they seemed to have a great time here!
The reps seemed to work hard day and night, round the pool, in the restaurant bar and in the nighclub.
We didn't spend a great deal of time in the hotel during our stay, prefering to go to the beach and the bars along the front (would recommnd the malibu beach bar - reasonable drinks, good entertainment, friendly staff).
I personally wouldn't choose to stay in this hotel agan as I would prefer to stay somewhere a little closer to the beach and beach bars, however i would recommend this hotel for families with children (aged 7 - 16??). Overall, a good 3* hotel if you are on a bit of a budget.
PS - If you go to the turkish bath make sure its at the start of your holiday as they will rub off a whole layer of tan and you will have to start from scratch! If you have sensitive skin just don't do it!!

I didnt stay at this hotel but went there every night. The reps worked long hours but never showed it, they were always very entertaining and friendly. The entertainment was fantastic for all visitors and had something different every night. The food was well worth the money and didnt take long to come...the staff were also great there. I went with my young son and it was great because it had an excellent park and arcade. Staying there in october and cant wait!!
