Hello! My friend and I rested in Caprice from 08/15/2007 to 08/26/2007. I must say right away that the impressions are the most pleasant and unforgettable... but first things first. We drove from Mostrevel. They took off on time. In Turkey, the guide met at the airport, boarded an air-conditioned bus. On the way we were told useful information about Marmaris, about hotels, about excursions and so on. When we drove into Marmaris itself, we were surprised by the number of hotels, with many located right next to a busy road. That is, a pool, people on sun loungers and literally 5 meters from the roadway... Somehow it’s not very cool. But our hotel, fortunately, in terms of location favorably differed from many others. The territory of the hotel (considering that this is Marmaris and all hotels have a very small area there) is quite large. Many tangerine trees, in general, everything is green and beautiful. The hotel has 2 buildings with 5 floors. On the territory there is a large pool for adults, a small one for children and a pool with 3 water slides.
The beaches in Marmaris are all small, because there are a lot of hotels. But I can say this: if you get there on time, you can always find free places. It is not necessary to take a seat at 7 am. It is enough to come after breakfast at 8-9 o'clock. The beach is sandy and pebbly, the water is clean, transparent, always cool (maximum 22 degrees), because the springs beat in this place. But I can say that it was even good, it is this kind of water that is truly refreshing. As for the places by the pool, I can’t say, since the Germans mostly hung out there, and the Russians swim in the sea.
We checked in as soon as we arrived, the room was one of the best: on the top floor, overlooking the sea. And for this we did not pay extra, but only bought a chocolate bar to the girl from the reception. The room was cleaned every day, towels changed every day, bed linen was changed 3 or 4 times in 11 days, which is quite normal. Tipping was left every other day. The room has all the amenities described on the website.

The reception is Russian-speaking: in the first half of the day a Russian girl worked there, and in the evening a Turk who spoke Russian well). Guide from Mostrevel appeared at the hotel every day. Therefore, if there are any problems, then you can always solve them. We haven't had a single problem or complaint in all that time.
In my opinion, they fed well, 5 times a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with tea, dinner, night soup. The food is varied, so everyone can find something to their liking. Vegetables and fruits were plentiful. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks too. There is 1 restaurant and 2 bars on site. There were always empty seats. The service is good. Unlimited drinks in the bar and restaurant until 23:00.
In the evening, the bar has a disco and various shows. Moreover, the beachbar we had was one of the most fun along the entire coastline. And then you can go to Bar Street. You should definitely go there, at least in an introductory order! Walking around an hour, so it's easier to take a minibus that stops near the hotel and costs 1 dollar. True, there is still some kind of free bus that collects people from hotels and takes them to Bar Street, and then about half past four at night back. Or you can take a taxi - about 10-15 dollars at night. It was useless to go to bed before one in the morning, because the music from the bar was screaming under the window, so after 2 or 3 attempts to go to bed early, we abandoned this idea, and instead we ourselves sat in the bar or walked.
The Turks are very friendly, sociable, in general, do not feed them with bread - just let them chat. They constantly ask who you are, where you are from, and so on. The entire staff was very pleasant, all cheerful and friendly. The attitude towards Russians is very good. Special respect to the photographer Ibo, who works on the territory of the hotel!

Of course, it is better to buy excursions from local travel agencies. You can easily find them: you just have to walk along the coastline to the left of the hotel. Or on the way to the center of Marmaris, you will also meet a few. Excursions there are really 1.5-2 times cheaper. We've gone rafting (descent down a mountain river in boats) - I really liked it, a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ sensations; and also to the new water park in Marmaris - Aquadrim. If you go to the water park, go there! By the way, on the 2nd day of our stay, Mostrevel organized a free sightseeing tour of Marmaris for us. We went to a jewelry store, a candy store, and a leather store. They make very big discounts and the goods are of very high quality, so if you are interested, then take a lot of money with you, maybe buy something worthwhile.
I also advise you to definitely take a walk along the coastline in the evening. There are always a lot of people, a lot of noise and a lot of fun. Plus the sea, the mountains, the moon, the lights of Marmaris…
The way back also went well, everything was on time, there were no delays, for which I thank Mostrevel! Like all the main told. In general, I think if you go to this hotel, you will not regret it! I really hope to be back there next summer!
