Just got back from Marmaris. The ticket was taken at the last moment - special thanks to the manager Oksana from the Tourism Center, the final decision that we were going was made on Sunday - and she was the only one who called back on the application, left on different sites and in different agencies. We chose the Pineta Club Hotel 4 - we were looking for budget options. After reading the reviews, we were ready for anything, but hoped for the best. I will try to write an adequate, objective review, since before the trip it was difficult for us to figure out between - "everything is fine, thank you" and "everything is terrible, never go. " I will dwell on a few points.
ACCOMMODATION AND HOTEL: As a result, we did not live in this hotel. At the reception we were asked to wait. Separately, about the reception - no one speaks Russian either in this hotel or where we lived. But you can explain yourself in English and you will be met by guides who speak Turkish, if you need something they translate and help, so not knowing languages ​ ​ will not be a problem.
The bracelets were put on immediately and the guides offered to explore the territory, as the check-in process may take some time and showed where you can have a bite to eat. About an hour later we were told that there were no rooms in the hotel and that we were being moved to the Pineta Park Deluxe Hotel 4 *. The hotel is nearby. We were seated there quickly. The hotel is not new, understandably, but quite adequate - the receptionist immediately made a better impression, the room was also good. Cleaning and changing of towels was done every day, there were no complaints about this at all. The only thing is that one day our shower hose started to leak (we had a room with a bathtub, in some rooms there was just a shower), I think if we asked for help, the problem would be solved, but we just I was too lazy to mess around, wash myself, and so it was possible. We didn’t see the numbers in the first Pineta, but then we talked about who lived there, then we didn’t hear any special complaints from them. One man, however, already on the way back told that when he was settled, there were also no places and on the first night he was settled in a room without windows, on the second he was moved to a good one. We had hot water all the time in our hotel, they say it is summer. When we were relocated, they apologized that the area where they relocate is smaller, but it is better in concept - did that suit us quite well?

FOOD: Buffet. We never came at the beginning, we didn’t want to crowd in a queue of hungry people, we came either in the middle or at the end, everything that ended was constantly offered, the choice was great. I won’t describe the menu in detail, since I didn’t try everything and many dishes changed on different days. Some dishes are specific, of course, but it’s not true that there is no meat, it was in different forms, a lot of cheese, vegetables, pastries, fruits, dried fruits, I really liked their cheese spread. We have never been hungry, in recent days, of course, we already wanted something just lean (and it was understandable too), but any other cuisine can get boring in a few days, so we had enough food. There was a company in our group, part of which stayed at the first hotel, they sometimes went to eat there, they said that the choice there was the same. The restaurant itself at the end of the “meal” was already dirty, but I can’t say that the staff didn’t clean, they cleaned, I was rather surprised by the tourist people, who believe that you can scatter everything and everywhere.
DRINKS: cold water in vending machines, you can fill bottles safely. With the rest it’s more difficult, it’s better not to take juices - it looks like our UPIs, the cola is normal, I haven’t tried the rest. Alcohol I will say right away, if you really need it, buy it in Dutifree, as everyone who travels often does, only beer is normal from the local.
POOL: 2 adults and one for children are clean, every day I saw how they clean in the evening. The sunbeds are normal, but it’s better to borrow early, because when you return from the sea for lunch, you can no longer find free ones, they were there, but with someone else’s things. In a word, in principle, there are enough of them, but if you don’t go to bed in the morning, then you can be left without.
SERVICE: if you are used to expensive 5-cams, then it’s better to go there and don’t write malicious reviews later. These are budget options, and it is clear that if you want, you can always find something to complain about. I have had a lot of rest in Ukraine and I can say that for such money here, you will not get even a third, or even less. Yes, most of the staff speaks Turkish, some English and very few Russian, but they are diligent, friendly, smiling and polite. I have never been harassed by anyone and all requests have always been answered.
SEA: walk for 5 minutes, a maximum of 7. Both hotels do not have their own beach. There are options to buy something and use the sunbeds of cafes, there are a lot of them, once we literally took a bottle of water, but mostly we went to the public one, it is small on the left along the embankment, with my own blanket, I swim a lot - so I fool around looking for sunbeds And I just didn't want to pay. The entrance is pebble, there is a descent along the plates, the sea itself is quite clean and pleasant, for some it may seem cold, I like refreshing, and I was just thrilled, the water is very salty, so it literally pushes you out.

NATURE: INSANELY BEAUTIFUL, the lights surrounding the bay are constantly different, sometimes they are buried in blue, sometimes you can see the details, a very beautiful embankment and a beautiful town, everywhere is very well maintained. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from the airport - but the road goes through a very beautiful area, you will have time to enjoy it. Then we still drove by car for 20 kilometers to Turunc - local historians along the way are simply amazing, on the way they stopped several times to take pictures, then went down to a deserted beach, the water near the coast is clear as if it does not exist, and turquoise for 20 meters, like in a pool.
INTERNET: Forget about him - are you on vacation? But seriously, in the first Pinata, as I understand it, there is no free - we were told technical problems and you can buy something in the store, they will give you a password, it changes every day. It was in the Deluxe, but weak and only at the reception, my friend basically connected normally, but for some reason I had some glitches, but at the reception they constantly helped, set up something and re-entered the password.
VIVODY: I absolutely do not regret that I went here. We went to rest, and not to look for something to complain about, and got a lot of positive emotions! If I get a chance, I will definitely be back!
