Gathering my thoughts, I will leave my subjective "fe" about this hotel. So, in order.
Settlement. Despite the time at which you were taken to the hotel (7 am or 12 noon), you will be settled no earlier than 14.00 (if it happened earlier, consider yourself lucky). The staff at the reception is polite, even Russian-speaking, but extremely sedate. . . (if you didn’t like the room offered, you can change it for a small bonus)
Rooms. There are fours and better. Clearly in need of repair. In particular, in our room 542 (family building), the shower rack fell out of the fixture, the cashing on the doors was about to fall off, there was a good gap between the front door and the box (apparently for natural ventilation), the towel holder was about to fall off. Noise isolation from the street is basically normal, but being in the bathroom you can freely communicate with the next room))). The maids are extremely slow and are not particularly puzzled by issues of cleanliness. Towels were changed three times in 8 days (the last time before departure), linen 1 time. Room cleaning consists in wiping the floor, what is dust and how to clean it is unknown to local maids. With plumbing the same parsley. We went on the principle of "clean where they don't litter". In connection with such a rare change of towels (respectively, between shifts they manage to get dirty in order), they have a yellowish color and smell of stale (even clean ones). Many people write about tips for maids - I didn’t see what to leave them for, because. did not require anything in excess of what was required and paid for as part of the tour. Air conditioning in the room is a separate story. Since the room is under the roof, it heats up accordingly. But the condo is either without freon, or low-power, in general, it did not cool the room to normal temperature in any way, acting mainly as a fan. It was possible to feel comfortable only at a distance of 1.5 meters, standing in front of the air conditioner. Incidents happen with water - around 7 pm (when everyone is washing) either the pressure decreases or it disappears altogether. The button for the drain tank must be pressed with both hands (the Turks did it) - you pump up your hands for a vacation, and you don’t need to go to the gym.

Common areas. Clean, tidy, tidy. Attention! There is no air conditioning and ventilation in restaurants - what the breeze blows is what it is! The rights of non-smokers are widely infringed - Europeans and Turks smoke like steam locomotives, which cannot be said about our compatriots (at least we got it).
There are clearly not enough seats in the main restaurant (especially during dinner), our resourceful compatriots take seats 20-30 minutes before dinner. But by 8 pm this problem disappears, you can eat without problems (they add food : ))). The local maî tre d', in an effort to serve the guests, sits them down at other people's tables, and here it is, the feeling of dining in a Soviet sanatorium! The question is, why, having paid a lot of money for a ticket, should I or someone spoil dinner with my presence? ! In addition, the same comrade is trying to sell you vodka along the way.
Nutrition. In principle, the range is quite wide, but monotonous. Two or three side dishes, the same number of hot dishes, a lot of greens, vegetables. The hotel makes extensive use of semi-finished products (nuggets, cordon bleu cutlets, mashed potatoes and frozen french fries, sausage). For breakfast - among other things, several types of cheeses. Meat - mostly chicken, a couple of times fish, a couple of times lamb in the form of cutlets. Fruit - seasonal, two or three items. Drinks - like everywhere else, local wines (but they don’t cause rashes and redness like from Ukrainian Koblevo and don’t hurt your head), a la juice - Yupi - chemistry, local beer - until 23.00. For parents with small children. There is no children's table as such. You can feed the baby with dry breakfasts with milk or boiled eggs. General conclusion: there is enough food, but the same thing bothers.
Animation - absent (for children only slides for 2 hours a day). For adults, in the evening they arrange a home-made show in a bar for 20 minutes, the rest is a disco, ending, as a rule, with a showdown.

Beach. 40 meters long, wide - three loungers with the necessary passages. The fourth row of sun loungers is already almost in the water - there are also such lovers. If you want a sunbed, get yourself out of bed at 6 in the morning. towels of our enterprising compatriots sunbathe on sunbeds. Sunset in the sea - not very convenient, sand mixed with stones. An adult will be able to enter (it is possible without special shoes), children gurgle in a paddock fenced off with sandbags. It is more convenient to enter on neighboring beaches - one has a ladder, the other has a comfortable bottom. Quite shallow, somewhere around 1.30-1.50 m, to swim to a depth of 30-40 meters. There is a fact of mooring boats. For those who wish, the city sandy beach is located about 1.5 km (20 minutes of active walking) in the direction of Icmeler behind the Marmaris Park Hotel. On the beach of the hotel, the water is clean in the morning, but cool, in the afternoon it is already cold (apparently underground springs are doing their job).
There is no soul on the beach. It's near the pool with slides. So you will be sunbathing salty (well, or after each entry into the sea, you can run to the territory to rinse). Yes, the beach is across the road and the promenade. On the road, not often, but cars and buses pass by. Naturally, cyclists, scooters and pedestrians walk along the promenade.
Saunas, spas and more. Were not, I will not evaluate. Other guests praised the masseurs very much. There is a foot massage with fish (lower your legs for 5 minutes in an aquarium with fish - there are no piranhas))).
The territory is small, but this is a common drawback of the hotels that are located in Marmaris. At least everything is well maintained and they try to keep it green and clean.
We went with Turtesse - there were no questions for them - they brought it, they took it away. True, the hotel guide was pushing excursions too obsessively (apparently at a percentage). To move around the city, you can rent a bicycle (approximately 10 lire per day, and there you can agree) or a scooter (I don’t know the price).
Do not rush to change the currency while you are going to the hotel - a good exchange rate and no commission either in the city center or ask at the hotel, or from the same Valentina (at the time of our stay 1 USD - 1.75 lira).
The general conclusion about the hotel: the second time I would go there only as a last resort - a spontaneous flight or the absence of other options. In principle, this vacation turned out to be spontaneous - they flew away in 2 days. For families with children, you can find better hotels. For those who are traveling for the first time - very suitable.
But I am very pleased with the rest itself, Marmaris is the place where you should visit at least once, and which hotel is up to you!
