After reading the reviews on the site about this hotel, I was very surprised. People write that they didn't like the rooms or that it's noisy or the kitchen is bad, etc. I would like to ask these people what they expected when planning their vacation for that kind of money, and even in the youth hotel of Marmaris. In my opinion, it fully justifies the $1100-1200 spent for two weeks of rest in this city.
Now a little about our holiday…
We rested in mid-August with a large group of 8 people. Vouchers were ordered in Moscow, through a friend, so it turned out to be another $100 cheaper. Rest cost us $ 1100 for 2 weeks. Pegas company met us. We did not have any complaints about the work of the company, since we did not use their services, except for the transfer. The only thing I didn’t like was the behavior of the hotel guide Vitaly, who tried so hard to sell excursions that he took his passports upon check-in and promised to return them only when we bought at least one excursion. My husband threatened to call the police and the documents were immediately returned to us.

We had no problems with the settlement, we lived in the central building. It was funny to watch how one lady at the reception demanded a room with a sea view. Considering that the hotel is located on the third line, there are no Sea View rooms as such.
The rooms have everything you need for a normal stay: shower, air conditioning, TV with Russian channels, which we did not even turn on. Maybe we were lucky, but the air conditioning worked perfectly and the shower did not leak. The balcony overlooked the territory of the Pasha 5 * hotel.
The food of the hotel is monotonous, the food is not tasty (or they don’t know how, or they don’t want to, because the products are all normal and, if desired, you can cook normal meals). We ate at the hotel for the first two days, and then went for dinner to the Turkish restaurant Ozhakbash, where they cook any kebabs. The cost with salads and appetizers was $10, which suited us just fine.
The territory of the hotel is not large, but, as we noticed, no one is there during the daytime. I really liked Nirvana Beach, but it's not very convenient to get there because the bus from the hotel leaves only 2 times at 9.00 and 10.00. You can return only after 15.00 or use the minibus.
Rest in the hotel mostly young people who spend all the time in discos, and the hotel returns only to spend the night, and then not always?
Since we had two weeks, we went on almost all excursions. Were in Ephesus - Pamukkale, Dalyan, Rafting, Turkish bath and on the islands of the Aegean Sea. All excursions were very good. On a tour of the islands, our friends swam 3 times.
We advise you not to buy excursions from hotel guides, prices are 2 times too high. We booked all tours online with Daisy tur. They gave us a very good discount: a Turkish bath with all massages for free, and the islands of the Aegean Sea for $20. Cheaper even in local agencies, we have not found. The guide of this agency changes dollars at a very good rate (the exchange rate was 1.9, and Deniz changed us 2 lira each) and showed us a Turkish restaurant, agreeing to give us a discount.

To summarize the rest, we were very pleased with the hotel, and excursions, and Marmaris. I think that for the money paid we got a very good rest and, of course, we will return to Marmaris again.
