We rested with a company (2 families with 3 children 2 and 4 years old) in May from the 15th to the 28th.
In order: the transfer takes 1.5 hours, check-in at the hotel is clearly at 14 o'clock, we waited 2 hours for check-in. We were offered a room in a bungalow on the 1st floor (a small two-room suite with two bathrooms and a balcony, this is a family room). At that time, the room was very damp and cold, this is its main disadvantage, it warmed up for about a week. Friends (2 adults + 1 child 4 years old) were first offered a terrible corner room standard where even extra. there is nowhere to put a crib, after their indignation they were offered a normal 2 + 1 in a bungalow on the second floor - this is the best option for this time of year here.
Restaurants: the main restaurant is large, there is a lot of food, the main thing is not to try everything at once : ) because overeating sets in for the first days, and then everything seems monotonous : ) Wine, beer, vodka are decent (Turkish of course), juices are all terrible artificial, tea is better drink custard, and coffee is normal only in the lobby (Turkish and espresso is). Of fruits, only apples, old oranges and last year's pears. Strawberries and cherries are sold with might and main behind the hotel, but they are not on the menu.

A la carte restaurants by appointment and advance payment of 10 Lira per adult. The menu is mediocre, but for a change it will roll.
Beach and pools: the beach is small, the entrance is rocky and very uncomfortable. The sea was cold for the first week, 18 degrees, then warmed up a little. Our Slavic brethren, which are already numerous in mid-May, take sunbeds in the morning, so at 10 o'clock it is problematic to find a place in the shade. At the same time, there is plenty of space at the main pool. By the way, only Russian was heard on the beach, even as it was strange : ) There are a total of 5 pools, but the water in them is so icy in May that almost no one swims. Our 2-year-old in the junior paddling pool (30 cm) was like 15-20 minutes, her feet were just icy, besides, it was also slippery near the pools, in general, we didn’t go to the pools with our feet. The hotel has its own "water park": 2 large slides and 1 medium for children from 3-4 years old. Works by the hour.
Very good playground for kids. At the same time, the animation for children is disgusting: they don’t work with children at all (only in the evening there is a mini disco), although there are 2 children’s clubs on the territory: one belongs exclusively to the TUI, the second is always open and empty.
There is adult animation: there is exercise by the hour, Pilates, beach volleyball, etc. , in the evening there are concerts in the amphitheater, live music and discos in the beach bar. The animators themselves did not like: they do everything as a big favor.
The hotel area is really big (for Marmaris) and green, but keep in mind that there are bungalows to which you need to stomp up the hill for about 15 minutes.
Room cleaned daily, towels changed daily.
Yes, the floor in the bungalow is tile, very cold. There are no slippers or towels. For children, this is a problem. The main building has carpet.
There are only 2 bottles of water in the mini bar. There is no room order as such.

From the pros: a minibus runs to Marmaris every 5 minutes, passes right under the hotel. In Marmaris, there are supermarkets and restaurants and yachts, etc. We took a yacht and had a very good ride.
In general, the rest turned out to be ambiguous, I tried to tell everything soberly and without emotions. I'll be happy to answer questions : )
