I chose this hotel at a travel agency by chance, as I traveled alone, and the one I had planned from the beginning was not inhabited by single men (maybe it’s for the best, it would have ended up in the city of Marmaris itself, where it’s noisier, more people and the sea doesn’t so clean and peaceful.
I will try to be objective as a person who is not a specialist in exactly a beach holiday, especially not a fan of Turkey, but, like so many this year, the choice was limited. Otherwise, I would never have sat there for 2 weeks.
The hotel is located in the village of Icmeler, 7 kilometers from the city of Marmaris, you can get to the city itself by minibus for 3.50 liras (stops right in front of the hotel and back and forth) or by bike, there are plenty of rentals in the village, 10 liras per hour, along the bike path along along the coast and all the way to the city.
The location is good, it takes 2 minutes to walk to the sea, the hotel itself is adjacent to the mountain, a very beautiful view, especially from buildings C and D.
There are no sea views at all. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the center of the village, all the main attractions are nearby, the embankment is nearby. The village is small, but in principle you can walk in the evening for about an hour or more. There are many cozy restaurants and cafes, there are designer ones, there are several Migros supermarkets, there are ATMs of several banks, taxis. There are no infrastructure issues. The resort is designed more for European visitors, but because of the corona they began to launch more from the countries of the former CIS, but they speak relatively little Russian, this is not Kemer.
The settlement usually passed, the luggage is left for sanitation, then after about an hour they give it back. We immediately put on bracelets and before checking into the room (we arrived at 9 am and check-in from 2 pm), we could already use the dining room, swimming pools - in general, the entire infrastructure to the fullest.
I was immediately settled on the second floor in building B with access directly to the playground and the hill, on the second day I changed it, of course, for $ 20, take it in advance just in case to building C with a gorgeous view of the pool and the mountain - and regretted it, constant noise from vacationers in the pool and music with animators (well, at least because of the corona they didn’t work longer than 23.30), it’s better to take it with a view of the neighboring hotel and the city, it’s calmer there.
The territory is quite large and elongated, according to the views on the Internet it seems confusing, but, in fact, everything is simple. Buildings: A-immediately at the entrance, there is a reception desk, rooms on top and a summer restaurant area, part of the windows overlook the courtyard with a pool, part of the neighboring hotel; Small three-story, some of the rooms overlook the pool and courtyard, some on a piece of the hill, a playground and a second pool; C - part of the rooms overlooks the courtyard and the pool and the mountain, part of the neighboring hotel and the city view, lower rooms, keep in mind - ON THE WALL!
And the newest - D - some of the rooms come close to the mountain, some to the gap between the two mountains and the pool and another separate building without names.
Due to the stepped location of the hotel, some rooms in buildings A, B, C are flush with the floor and actually face the street, and on the opposite side ON THE WALL. Consider accommodation options in advance. In addition, there are rooms under the wall, above which the second pool is located and they go directly to the footpath and there in the jacuzzi in front of passers-by, vacationers are splashing, there is no privacy and everything that happens in the room is visible. Strange, but these rooms were occupied mainly by the British, they have their own ideas about comfort.
Vacationers: Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs and relatively many Englishmen.
The British are specific, not those who wear tailcoats and top hats, hard workers who come off in the sun once a year, many are pumped up with beer in the morning and so on all day, during my stay they fought 2 times with Turks and Russians and both times through the fault of the British. Everyone is immediately addressed in English and if you do not speak, they are treated like a thing, they can swear when drunk, but "kindly")). I say, I had no problems with them, besides, sometimes because of my appearance they took me for their own)).
When leaving after the fight (they were not evicted so coincidentally), a group of Englishmen put on a performance, they shouted "Miraaaazh" in unison, and one of them loudly "I will never return")).
In general, the atmosphere is normal and the people are mostly decent. "Taagil" is already in the past. Most with families and children, often very young.
Rooms: nothing special, not new (except building D - but you have to pay extra $ 30 per day for it separately), In building B they are very small, keep this in mind, in the rest Double bed, folded from two single beds, the mattress is quite acceptable, two bedside tables, a mirror under it, a small table built into the wall, a small refrigerator and they put 2 bottles of water for free when cleaning the room - a great idea. The TV is flat, there is traditionally no back cover on the remote control)) in some rooms the air conditioners hang at the back (which is much more convenient) in mine it hung in front and I had to turn it off often, although it worked properly.
The bathroom is normal: a toilet, a shower and a drain, some of the water remained, the cleaning lady put up with this)).
Noise isolation is terrible, but I put up with it.
Some kind of bumblebee gels stood in small bottles, I didn’t even open them, it’s useless.
Cleaning is daily, sheets, towels are changed, the mirror and shelves are not particularly wiped, only after the eviction of the guest.
I left her 10 lira as a tip every three days.
Beach: exit the hotel and go down and turn around, 2 minutes. The hotel has its own piece of the beach, the sea is clean, transparent, overlooking the mountains and the hill, there is no open sea (in Icmeler, the view of the open sea is a piece between two hills with an island in the middle, in Marmaris itself it’s like a lake).
Sunbeds are ordinary plastic, with white capes, there are few of them, often not enough, take them early in the morning.
I don’t sunbathe, so I settled down in the shade near the lifeguard’s booth, where a Turk in glasses sells beer and water, after three days he kindly allowed me to sit on a chair and use the sunbed of a neighboring hotel, since I was not impudent and always asked permission to stand nearby (he does not speak Russian, but a little bit of English). May Allah bless him and his family! )).
On the beach from 10 am to 5 pm there are a lot of people, children, squealing, screaming, shouting to the children of their parents. You can’t just go into the sea and swim like that. Therefore, for the second week, I began to go to the public beach, walk along the promenade for about 10 minutes in front of the Sea Star Hotel. There are no sun loungers, only mushrooms and a rescue booth, but many times less people, clean and small pebbles and a deeper clean and beautiful sea and - VIEW OF PART OF EXIT TO THE OPEN SEA and a coast with tall palm trees, a mountain and hills. If you go there, you won't regret it, if you don't care about a sunbed, I recommend it!
Animation: one and the same program for a week, first for children, then competitions, lotto, disco, "Turkish Night" ...everything repeats and quickly becomes boring. As for me, it would be better without it at all, it only creates noise.
In addition, Mustafa, a Turk lottoshnik, in order to glue a blonde from the Russian Federation together, pretended to be an alpha male and in a cocky tone asked the men and guys who turned to her without any ulterior motives "Problems?! ", which is an unprofessional approach, since people are different and this out of the blue can provoke a conflict. That is, animation is not a feature of this hotel.
Nutrition. Everything is carried out in the restaurant (in fact, the dining room) of building D on the ground floor, there are tables on the street and in the grotto. The level is not bad, they try, they run, they clean everything quickly, but sometimes you have to look for a place, there are no devices.
The weak point is that the hoods cannot cope with kitchen odors and it is worth going to the dining room in one clothes and going out for walks in another because you simply stink.
Products are standard, in principle, as in most hotels in Turkey, a lot of greens, salads, everything is fresh. There are fruits, berries such as watermelons, melons, peaches.
There are many sweets, but they are specific, "for an amateur". There are no complaints about food, everything is fresh and tasty, the Turks turned a blind eye to the fact that we served food ourselves, although the staff should do it, but it’s for the best, there were no kilometer-long queues. All the Turks were wearing masks and were forced to wear them if you didn’t eat, but simply moved around the hall.
What I remember - three types of fish almost every day, onion rings - very tasty, they were all rowed with a shovel, nuggets, harmful, but tasty, french fries from the same opera, very tasty)) There is a lot of meat and it is varied, I will especially highlight chicken legs . Excellent rice, I practically took it every day. Pizza is prepared separately, it is also very tasty. In the morning, you can take a ready-made omelet, or they will prepare fried eggs for you, or they will fry an omelet with cheese, onions and vegetables in front of you. Excellent thing. Pasta is weak, but you can eat. Soups are also not so hot except for cream soup.
One "But" - after about a week, all this splendor begins ...to become boring. And straight pulls to go to a restaurant despite the paid all-inclusive. By the way, no seafood.
In the dining room, three (! ) times a day, calm, but ONE AND THE SAME music played and it got tired!! ! Once or twice they changed, but it was so wildly annoying !!
There is a snack bar open from 11 to 17, there are french fries, nuggets and a small shawarma, hamburgers (none), the first two days I dined there. until he came to mind)). Many vacationers take plates from there and wrap around the pool)). The Turks turn a blind eye to this)).
Alcohol. This question interests many, isn't it? )).
At a decent level. There are three bars - one near the first pool, open from 9 am to 5 pm, the second in the snack bar is open from 10 am to 12 am, the third at the entrance to building D is also from 10 am to 12 pm. Red, white and rose wine is poured, it is very high quality and good. Light beer, in 0.3 cups, not diluted and light, not bad either.
Personally, I took both a bike and excursions from our former compatriot Inna - go to the other side of the hotel and go left for 250 meters, there will be a Slavic-looking blonde sitting behind the counter near the bike rental, by the way, one bike ride if you took the tour is free, I rode in the evening, almost every other day - I went along the bike path to Marmaris and back.
From myself, I definitely recommend the Aegean Islands - the most gorgeous views, the turquoise sea, the rocks, they will take you past the hotel with rooms for 1500 euros per day and yachts ...it is definitely worth its 30 dollars, all the rest are of the same type or not what you can expect. Or Oludeniz beach. Also go yourself to the neighboring village of Turunc by taxi boat for 50 lira round trip, runs every hour from 10 to 19. A beautiful view, even more beautiful and clean with a piece of OPEN sea, you will not regret it. Some people just went there to swim.
I would rather settle in this village, although it is many times smaller, but more romantic and comfortable. Hotels "Turunc Premium" and "Labranda Resort" - the views are indescribable.
Verdict. Although the hotel positions itself as "5 stars", I repeat the opinion of many: this is a solid 4, nothing more. Everything seems to be on the level, but the thought “but it could have been better” constantly sits in my head.
If you have previously rested in the "fives" in the true sense of the word, that is, a higher level, you should not go to the Mirage, you will be disappointed.
If this is your first Turkish hotel - go boldly, it justifies all the stereotypes about Turkish holidays.
If you have been in hotels of a more modest level before, you will also be satisfied.
To sit out a couple of days for the sake of "swimming in the sea" is also a good choice.
And finally, if you are unpretentious in principle and understand what awaits you for this money and do not create unnecessary illusions, you can also go.
Personally, if this corona story does not end, if I decide to visit this region again, I’d better save some money and settle in the Sea star mentioned above, a decent chain hotel, first line, no young children (settlement 16+), small territory and lack of animation and a view of the open sea. For me it is important that there is no lake)). By the way, one of the best hotels in Icmeler is exactly 4 * "Elite world hotel Marmaris" (but it is on the second line), "Sea star" and "Quadas".

Have a good rest and no corona!
