When we checked in, they gave a room with a view of the lawn, although they paid with a view of the sea, after the demand to give a room with a view of the sea, only for an additional fee of 140 € they gave a two-room room, good. The staff is unfriendly, just waiting for a tip. We went to the hamam once, a hamam with a massage for 60 € per person, although the hamam was included in the price of the tour.

When we checked in, they gave a room with a view of the lawn, although they paid with a view of the sea, after the demand to give a room with a view of the sea, only for an additional fee of 140 € they gave a two-room room, good. The staff is unfriendly, just waiting for a tip. We went to the hamam once, a hamam with a massage for 60 € per person, although the hamam was included in the price of the tour. Hamam workers impose a massage, brazenly cling, often stand at the entrance to the hotel and do not allow passage, one of these - a young Turk allowed himself obscene jokes when I passed by with children, so they didn’t go to the hamam. During the massage, they turned my head so that I would have to go to the doctor, now it shoots in the head when I turn my head, although before that I went in for sports and everything was in order. After the massage, the masseuse came out and came with an interpreter, and she tried to tell me how important it was for me to do at least 4 massage sessions, because. My muscles and lymphatic system are clogged with lactic acid (ha ha). The food is three stars. Once they served a skewers of spoiled chicken - there was this smell of stale meat, the kebab was probably to score a stale smell. Everywhere you need to stand in line for french fries, then for meat, then for salad, for tea, etc. The choice of food is not great - just the same dishes are decorated in different ways - an eye trick - for example, the same cheese is cut into different shapes and different decor. From meat - chicken or turkey, from fish some kind of cheap tasteless fish, even fried chicken liver. What is this anyway? Is this a 5 star menu? Fruit is not tasty, watermelon is not sweet, grapes are sour. There is one vat of tea for two halls, so you had to drag two cups of tea in your hands through two halls, trays are not provided. The only thing I liked was the animation, a lot of pools, attractions for children. Conclusion: for such a hotel, the ticket is very expensive, I will not go there again.

Externally, the hotel and rooms are not bad. Beach bar: free only beer and wine (on tap). Umbrellas are not enough. Beach towels are for a deposit and are issued only from 08:30, and must be returned before 19:30. Wi-Fi in the lobby (free of charge), not in the rooms. 1 main restaurant in which there is a queue of about 20 minutes for one dish, where a very meager and monotonous menu (french fries, spaghetti, fish sticks from offal, a couple of times there was a fried dorado).

By appointment, visiting the a la carte restaurant once per week is free of charge. We went to the Grill - the food is tasteless (the steak is disgusting) and waited 1.5 hours.
Burgerland - fast food (around the clock), average quality burgers, offal nuggets, where the chicken is not felt.
For children - excellent, many slides and a kids club nearby. I especially liked the cooling for parents who watch their children in the form of a "bucket" and fountains.
Written sauna, Turkish bath (hammam) for free - in fact, when recording, the cost is 35 euros!
Animation for a week of rest was not noticed.
Room cleaning (daily), bed linen change (2 times a week), towel change (3 times a week).
The beach is very dirty, a lot of gobies, glasses, empty bottles.
Conclusions: the 5 * clearly does not match the hotel. The only plus - if with a child, then a lot of slides, but the food is very, very poor. I was pleasantly surprised by the attitude of the locals towards children, for which special thanks to them!

Cleanliness of the territory +/-
Now in more detail, the hall, the heat, on the street under 50 degrees. It works out of 13-14 air conditioners 2, after a massive outrage they turned on 6-7, why did you install them?
The tour package took ultra all inclusive, it means imported drinks are included, etc. , this is a complete discrepancy with the purchased tour package, but according to simple (deception) and my subjective opinion, such hotels should be punished. Now the most interesting thing is food and service, there is simply no end to the queue in the morning for eggs, 50-70 people, one person serves, you can stand up to 40 minutes. and here everything is clear that for lunch and dinner, the food is all the same for 4 out of 5, one killed on the floor - powdered mashed potatoes, you ask how you know, I will answer you - I sell this in my country, but this is not a 5 * product hotel.
I pay special attention to maintenance:
The staff of the men are slow, arrogant, rude, one gets the impression that you have come here.
What I can’t say about women - hard workers, friendly, always ready to help.
I also want to write about food, for example, they prepare such minimalism that by the middle of breakfast, lunch, dinner it ends and they don’t serve it anymore, I see this for the first time, I travel around countries 2 times a year stably.
Wi-Fi work is normal. Let the speed be small, but you can keep in touch with the outside world 3.5 out of 5, but here is a bummer - they turned off the type of problem, the problems can be fixed, what they say we are fixing, 4 days have passed and the horse did not roll.
I regret that I didn’t read about this hotel before the trip, I didn’t come here in my life, but it’s more striking that the administration unsubscribes, but does nothing.

The whole holiday at the EFTALIA MARIN HOTEL 5 * in three photos.
Photo #1. In the foreground is the queue for stewed zucchini and eggplant. In the background - behind the vermicelli.
Photo #2. To get the treasured vermicelli and stewed zucchini (forget about meat, it will be in photo No. 3), you need to get into the canteen. In the photo - a queue to enter the canteen and get the opportunity to queue for noodles.
Photo number 3 - for a snack. Do you think it's the lobster line? For king prawns? For snow crabs? NO. It's the meat line. For rib-eye steaks or lamb skewers? NO. For the chicken! This is the only kind of meat you will find in this hotel. If you're lucky. Usually it is fried liver.
So, let's count the time:
Go to the canteen - 20 minutes.
Stand for vermicelli - 15 minutes.
Stand behind eggplant - 15 minutes.
Stand behind the chicken - 40 minutes.
I will simply keep silent about the possibility of breaking through to the bar.
In total, a meal of vermicelli, eggplant and a small piece of chicken will cost you an hour and a half.
Multiply by breakfast, lunch and dinner, we get four and a half hours a day. This is instead of the sea.

Hey, there, on the island of Eftalia! No, no, I don’t need a chest, I just want to be heard and paid attention to those disadvantages that exist and try to avoid them. And I'll start from the beginning. End of May-beginning of June. 2 adults and a 12 year old child. Favorite Turkey. Tour operator Tui. We flew to Antalya with Air azur (the flight was delayed by 1 hour), back to Kyiv with the Rose of the Winds (departure on time).

Hey, there, on the island of Eftalia! No, no, I don’t need a chest, I just want to be heard and paid attention to those disadvantages that exist and try to avoid them.
And I'll start from the beginning. End of May-beginning of June. 2 adults and a 12 year old child. Favorite Turkey. Tour operator Tui. We flew to Antalya with Air azur (the flight was delayed by 1 hour), back to Kyiv with the Rose of the Winds (departure on time). There are no complaints about the tour operator or the airlines, but on the contrary, I want to thank the accompanying guide Elvira from the Tui company on the Antalya-Alania route. I was sincerely glad to meet such a wonderful person who is in love with his work. Two hours of the most interesting story about the country, about national traditions, about the salt lake Van and its amazing cats, about Denizli roosters. Thanks!
And so, the hotel Eftalia Marine. Everything that they write about the possibility of negotiating with the reception desk with a surcharge for the best room is true. This is the very first thing we were offered. We bought the standard. Having paid 60 dollars. we got a family room. The room is excellent, on the 5th floor. Beautiful design in a marine style, everything suited us. Cleaning was normal, but I don't have any special requirements. The mini-bar is free, replenished regularly (2 mineral waters, 2 Pepsi, 2 forfeits, 2 sprites). Wi-Fi is free in the room, in the bars and in the hotel lobby. Soap, shower gels, some other little things were also replenished. Air conditioners cooled perfectly, hot water was constantly. In some reviews, they wrote about glass doors not to the ceiling in the toilet and shower. This is true, and, perhaps, for someone it will be uncomfortable (there is no such thing in the standard, there are ordinary doors), but this did not bother us. That's why number -5.
The staff is also pleasant, hardworking, especially in the main restaurant. They definitely do not mind 5.
There were no issues with places either in the main restaurant, or near the pools, or on the beach. I consider this a huge plus, given the number of tourists.
Now about the food itself. Food is modest. No, of course, I didn’t see hungry people, and we were full and satisfied. But, if you objectively analyze and compare with the experience of past travels and holidays in Turkish fives, then Eftalia loses unequivocally. The whole set of the traditional menu of Turkish hotels is present here, but the number of items on this menu is noticeably smaller. This also applies to fruits (there are even no oranges for breakfast, probably to buy a paid orange fresh))), and sweets (only once there was Turkish baklava), and the most important thing is the question of meat and fish. If they say that there is no fish and meat at all, then this is not true. But, the truth is that the choice, for example, for dinner consists of two positions: grilled fish and turkey with vegetables. Tragedy? Of course not. Have something to eat? Of course have. But, for a five, this is simply not enough... And, more, some things are difficult for me to understand... Why for breakfast or scrambled eggs or an ordinary fried egg (is it really so difficult to offer both)? Why is it necessary to put a person on this grilled fish or meat with vegetables, so that he separates "valuable products" for everyone on his own? Why ice cream two balls, shawarma 2 pcs. in one hand, well, it's funny (if not so sad)? The whole family must stand in line, since they want ice cream... Why is the children's table so poor, while there are so many small children resting in the hotel, and there is so little for them in the restaurant?
But, I still want to note that all the products were fresh, I did not observe any poisoning or similar troubles in the hotel. This is of course a plus. I put another plus for the Burgerland fast food restaurant. This establishment operates 24/7. There is an opportunity to form a burger for yourself (of course it will be far from perfect), eat french fries, soup, vegetables. I want to say that this restaurant will help out people who will arrive late in the evening, at night or in the morning, or will leave at such an inconvenient time.
Now about the territory and most importantly - the island. Near the Marin Hotel there are hotels of the Eftalia chain - Village, Ocean and Aqua. All hotels are located across the road from the beach through underground passages. I didn’t have the feeling of breaking the territory from the hull to the island, the road was easy and fast for me. Eftalia Island is an area by the sea, which can be used by guests of all hotels of the Eftalia chain. The territory is quite large with a la carte restaurants, bars, a pastry shop, ice cream points, gozleme and ayran, grilled wings, Belgian waffles, a Chill out restaurant where you can dine (shawarma, grilled potatoes, buns, vegetables). If we consider this territory, parallel to the road from Antalya towards Alanya, then it begins with a football field, an excellent water park (both the son and husband are delighted), a large amphitheater (for all hotels), a central pool (near which you can see animators, music plays , in general, the place is more lively), a Zip Line passes over this part of the territory, then a Pool bar with a pastry shop and a pool that I liked the most, the next one is a children's water park, a kids club, a Chill out bar and gazebo pavilions.
The area is clean, we really enjoyed spending time there. But there are also disadvantages. There are a lot of shops, bars, services from tenants in this area, somehow too much. And most importantly, queues. There are no special queues in the confectionery, for goslem, in Chill out, but chicken wings are something (they took only once, it's a pity for time), there is also a queue for ice cream, for Belgian waffles too. Well, somehow this is really bad there. Put a few people on the issue, open additional points (well, if only there was a desire))).
Now about the main disadvantage of Eftalia hotels - the beach. That's how cozy and clean the areas in the hotels are, how uncomfortable the unkempt beach is. Firstly, the coast is rocky, although the beach is sandy. I will describe the visits to the sea. And so, in front of the adult water park, the entrance is sandy with huge stones (of course, I don’t advise), for lovers of pebbles (the entrance opposite the pool, which is between the central pool and the children’s water park) - it went in crocs without problems, the water is cleaner, there are no sharp stones). Many people liked the sunset near the gazebo, but I didn’t, it’s really a sunset without stones, gray sand, but part of the beach there is the dirtiest and most uncomfortable. And the best entry for me was in front of the children's water park (in some places there are stones, but in general there is a fairly wide strip with a good sandy bottom, the beach for children is the best there). Unfinished breakwaters go from the shore into the sea (they also give a feeling of discomfort). There are also no buoys or a pontoon on the beach. Therefore, the beach is -3. You have to work with the beach, the island with its infrastructure is good, but the sea is also important.
About animation. There were good imported shows, local ones are simpler. Animators are not active at all. 4 days a week there was live music on the island. Twice a week, a foam disco on the beach (Monday and Friday, 15.00) - I liked it very much. Too often they held a neon party (instead of an evening show, a disco on the beach), too often even (probably a disco is easier to hold than an evening show).
Favorite place to relax on the island, after the evening show, the Chill out bar. In the evening, the island is full of vacationers, and few people get there. It works until 23.00. Good view of the sea and the lights of the villages. I liked this place very much.
And, a few more words about the hammam. Until 17.00 you can visit the hammam, sauna and steam room for free. You must bring a towel with you, they don't give you one. We visited the sauna and steam room without any problems, but there were some difficulties with the hammam. Employees ask hotel guests to wait while peeling and masks are being done in the hammam for clients. With such a system, you can not get into the hammam. We visited the hammam every day, we were persistent and on the second day there were no obstacles for us. So, of course, it shouldn't be like that. The service is declared in the All inc package, which means it should be. Therefore, you must remember that you do not come to the Spa for a visit (at a time convenient for the owners) and not for a free service (you paid for it already in the tour package).
And now my conclusions. We had a good rest, I bought a tour for a promotion and knew about the disadvantages of the hotel. Would I return to the hotel? For the right price, yes. There is nothing critically scary for me personally. If this hotel goes on sale, at the price of one of the lowest for the fives, then I think it's worth buying. If the hotel will cost like the average five in Turkey, then you can probably pick up something better.
If you have any questions, I'm ready to answer. Have a good rest and great weather. Yes, the water temperature was 24-25, air 27-33.
And I'll start from the beginning. End of May-beginning of June. 2 adults and a 12 year old child. Favorite Turkey. Tour operator Tui.

The settlement went quickly. The hotel was chosen because there is a large water park. Cool slides. Huge territory. The room was chic, the hotel is relatively new. The beach is not far from the room, you need to go through a beautiful transition. The internet is mostly good and all over except the beach. Liked the food.

Stayed at the hotel as a family with my husband and two children. Economy hotel 4 max. The dishes are DIRTY, people go looking for a clean plate, fork, etc. , it’s not acceptable, you feed people after all !! ! In terms of nutrition, for 11 days, the smell of the same fish that is fried every day is so tired that even at home this fish will not be wanted for a long time.

The dishes are DIRTY, people go looking for a clean plate, fork, etc. , it’s not acceptable, you feed people after all !! ! In terms of nutrition, for 11 days, the smell of the same fish that is fried every day is so tired that even at home this fish will not be wanted for a long time. . . they also fry semi-finished products: frozen cutlets, onion rings and fried shawarma a couple of times - that's it !! ! There is no normal food, unless of course you eat only vegetables and vermicelli. Drinks are a separate issue, all inclusive is cocktails-0; from alcohol: non-alcoholic beer, wine, local vodka, gin. On an island near the sea, all alcoholic drinks are chargeable. In general, we went to Turkey 6-7 times, of which we were once in 4, the rest 5, we didn’t meet this in any hotel (. The sea is warm, good, but it’s extremely difficult to go there, the entrance is stones, then also sand mixed with huge stones (. The sunbeds are dirty, cigarette butts are lying around, dogs are walking around, tin. To get to the beach, you need to go through an underground passage with a terrible smell (not even ventilation). relax. I don't know who gave this hotel 5 stars. We do not recommend, do not waste your money, there are a huge number of decent hotels for the same price.

Good afternoon! I am writing a review, maybe someone will help to make the right choice. Rested in early August, two adults + a child. 1. Settlement. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were settled in 15 minutes, for an additional $ 60 we were settled in a two-room family room, instead of the standard. The room is beautiful, with large rooms, cleaned every day, just like every day replenished the minibar.

Good afternoon! I am writing a review, maybe someone will help to make the right choice. Rested in early August, two adults + a child.
1. Settlement. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were settled in 15 minutes, for an additional $ 60 we were settled in a two-room family room, instead of the standard. The room is beautiful, with large rooms, cleaned every day, just like every day replenished the minibar.
2. Infrastructure: On the positive side, this is the Water Park, a huge number of slides, both for children and adults. There are a lot of pools, both near hotels and on the beach through the transition. The beach was very disappointing: dirty sand, dirty sunbeds. Entering the sea through a 2-3 meter strip of pebbles, I advise you to take special shoes with you, then sand. Sea is warm.
Nearby there is a market where you can buy sweets, souvenirs at very good prices. To Alanya by public bus 15-20 minutes, the fare is 5 lira.
3. Food. Of course, you won't leave hungry, but it's very monotonous. Usually there was fried fish (of the same type) and chicken or meat goulash, that's all... The fruits are semi-green, there are very few peaches, those who came to eat in the first wave sorted it out, the tray was not replenished further, watermelons were not every day, they didn’t see a melon at all. But there were a lot of apples, pears and grapes. If you have previously rested in fives and you have something to compare with, then most likely you will be disappointed. From alcohol: beer, wine, local Baileys, gin, whiskey and all, not too much for 5 *.
4. Most tourists are Europeans.
In principle, you can relax, but the hotel is clearly 4 *

Initially, we stopped at Eftalia Splash. We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock in the morning, check-in at 14.00. At the reception, we were offered to move to Marin for an additional fee - $ 10 per day (for two). We refused, to which the answer was: "Well, look at the number now, maybe you'll change your mind.

At the reception, we were offered to move to Marin for an additional fee - $ 10 per day (for two). We refused, to which the answer was: "Well, look at the number now, maybe you'll change your mind. " We were settled at about 13.00 in a separate 2-storey building with several rooms. To tell you the truth, the room looked like a staff room, not a 5* hotel. We decided not to flog the fever, wait until the next morning and tell the guide that we do not like the room (in general, as we were advised to do in this case by the representative of the tour company). The next morning, during a meeting with the guide, we informed him that we were not satisfied with the room and that the standard room looked different in the pictures. After talking with the reception, the guide told us that there were no rooms, and that our room was a stardant room. And he offered us to move to Marin, praising him in every possible way.
Well, we decided and the next morning with a surcharge of $ 50 (we had 10 nights left) we moved.
The hotel disappointed us! Outwardly beautiful picture, but inside the service is terrible.
BEACH
The beach is not cleaned: the sunbeds are not washed, the guy who should give out mattresses without a tip does not want to do anything. With us, a woman wiped the sunbed with a napkin, and he stood and looked at her. But for a tip, he brought mattresses, wiped them (albeit with some dubious dirty rag) and even occupied sunbeds (apparently by prior arrangement). The sand on the beach is full of gobies, dogs and cats walk around. With us, even one cat was doing its business under someone's sunbed (buried, but still). Remains of food and glasses are removed extremely rarely (we spent 3 hours lying next to someone's left half-eaten burgers). Reusable plastic cups are very worn and yellowed. In addition, they are washed very poorly, once I got caught with a trace of lipstick).
Entry into the sea is pebbly, it is only 1 meter, but since the waves are strong enough, you can lightly hit them. It is better to use aquashoes.
FOOD IN THE HOTEL: the main drawback is the small selection of meat dishes. Either 1 or 2 types of meat and then queues of 30-40 people. As for alcohol: it's just non-alcoholic. The bartender without a tip pours very little, but as soon as he receives the coveted dollar, the "portion" immediately increases.
CLEANING IN THE ROOM: towels and bed linen are changed every 2 days. Cleaning is mediocre: they threw out the garbage, shook out and rinsed the ashtray, made the bed. That's all cleaning. The floors were never swept during the whole stay. The bedside table was wiped down when it was already sticky. This despite the fact that we left the dollar.
Animation only on the beach, near the hotel it is not. Generally...
And I almost forgot: the towels that are issued to the beach are almost all full of holes or frayed.
I do not recommend this hotel, especially for such a price...Alas, the holiday was ruined.

We arrived on June 07, at about 11 p. m. , the road from Antalya Airport takes 2 hours and 30 minutes, before that tourists were taken to hotels and our hotel was 7 and the last in line. They settled quickly, offered a two-room suite for $ 140, but we refused, which we did not regret in the future. We have two children, we were given a standard room, the room has one single bed, one double bed, and another folding chair, there was enough space for everyone.

We have two children, we were given a standard room, the room has one single bed, one double bed, and another folding chair, there was enough space for everyone. In the fridge at the bar, drinks: cola, fanta, replenished every day Free of charge, room cleaning is average. The restaurant is well fed, as in all hotels in Turkey. The next day we went to Alanya, the distance from the hotel is about 15 km. You can get there by bus (dolmush), which stop at a stop located on the other side of the road from the hotel, go to the other side through the overpass. The fare per person is 5 lira, the exchange rate is now 4.3 lira to 1 dollar. Drive about 20-30 minutes to the final stop in the center of Alanya. We rode the cable car up to the fortress, walked there, the price there and back was 4 56 lire. Then we swam on Cleopatra's beach, the water is clear, sand is everywhere. For 2 sunbeds and an umbrella they ask for 20 lire, entry to the beach is free.
