Hello from Ukraine! I decided to tell you about my impressions of a holiday in Marmaris in Golden Rock Beach 5 *.
The hotel has endeared itself from the very beginning of the search for a vacation spot in Turkey. And, since last year my wife and I stayed at the inexpensive Marin 3 * hotel in Kemer (Beldibi village), which is on the Mediterranean Sea, we are already at the photo review level and descriptions on the Internet, the choice became more and more obvious.
I'll start with the hanger, i. e. from the airport in Dalaman. Be prepared to pay $ 30 per person and at the same time grumble while standing in an impatient queue for a Turkish visa about the absence of any formalities and payments (! ) For arrived from Russia. A trifle, of course, if you already arrived...
The bus from "Pegasus" took us about 2 hours to Marmaris and safely "moored" to our hotel.

That's it, we started to rest! More precisely, immediately after the voluntary-compulsory meeting with the guide from the Pegasus. I note that it is up to you personally to decide whether you need it or not. . payment.
The room was with a view of the mountains and the roofs of houses, but it seemed even exotic. Not a mass building of skyscrapers.
The Aegean Sea seemed unrealistically close. The sand is clean, without "gobies" and rusty beer caps, cleanliness is monitored. The sea begins with medium-sized pebbles, but prickly for legs; 2-3 meters and already sand.
The deck chairs are strong, without breakage and always in the right quantity.
The pool is located very close to the beach. There are slides (2 pcs. ). But they work, as a rule, 1 hour a day. It seemed a little.
The restaurant where we ate is right next to the pool.
Bars with drinks where they should be: by the pool and in the reception hall. Beer and stronger that is available until 24.00. Convenient, especially in the evening.
About food. It is good. Buffet. Abundance of offers from animal meat, poultry, fish. The plates are huge; everyone takes a lot of different things and, as a result, there is a lot of uneaten food.
Come early to the restaurant and you won't have to jostle with our and foreign tourists at the counters. Yes, and avoid local battles for seats.
Personally, after 3 days of relative gluttony, I ate more or less only at lunch. Breakfast and dinner were coffee. As a result, I didn’t gain weight. I won’t talk about my wife for ethical reasons.
The abundance of confectionery products is extraordinary. Children and categories equated to them have a place to "take their souls away. "
Animators entertain in the evening. First the children, then the parents. The same from day to day. Sometimes the performing folk groups brought freshness. And nothing more.
You can take a walk along the embankment. It is very long. At first, you can walk to the right, and then to the left, or vice versa.

Local shops will attract you with consumer goods of a sufficiently high quality “under the company”. You can and should bargain. The first price will never be final, even if you just hold something in your hands, put it down and head to the exit. currency, in lira, but if only USD is available, do not hesitate to recalculate YOURSELF at the rate. Personally convinced!
In the evenings, a paid bus from the hotel takes you to beach street to a disco. It takes you back, of course, but then we somehow went to other places where it was not so noisy and eventually returned by taxi for 30 USD.
So we rested. I recommend the hotel. I put a solid 4 (*).
I missed something, but I described the main thing here.
Good luck.
