To be honest, I bought accommodation there, not hoping for anything special, despite the good reviews. Well, it’s beautiful, well, the food is good, well, the city is excellent... In fact, all this could turn out to be enthusiastic emotions of young people who are ready to confess their love to every second hotel in Turkey)))
Arriving there, I was surprised to find an unexpected pleasant surprise - the hotel turned out to be the ideal of what I had dreamed of on my previous numerous trips. Of course, there are many more worthy hotels in the world, but our person (who doesn’t take a taxi to bakeries))) can afford such an option that would satisfy him in full.
Not one day was a disappointment.
Well trained, respectful staff. I did not see a single word / look / gesture emphasizing the disdain for the Russians.
Beautiful, thoughtful interiors, sometimes stylized as palace decorations), with numerous cozy nooks where you can sit alone, enjoying the silence.

The territory is large enough, clean, beautiful, around the perimeter there are all sorts of cafes, bars with tables and comfortable chairs or armchairs.
The food is varied, beautifully presented and, most importantly, delicious. It's nice that they're trying.
The main restaurant is very large and offers the most complete range of dishes. There are additional tables on the street, they cook grilled meat, stuffed jacket potatoes, cut watermelon and melon. Awesome thin pizza from the oven - the whole day, it's sold out. But there are no crazy queues for anything, I don’t know how they do it).
In the middle of the day, small round donuts are fried near the pool with slides, for children and adults to have fun.
Very tasty ice cream in the evenings.
Delicious soups for lunch and dinner.
Drinks - coffee, cafe au lait, cappuccino, chocolate, Mochaccino, hot water - from vending machines around the clock. Self-service, i. e. Lei and drink as much as you like.
Water coolers are freely available. Bottles of water in the room refrigerators only on the first day, then you collect water from the coolers yourself or drink outside the rooms.
Only drinks on the beach. Non-alcoholic (powdered juices, cola, sprite, fanta, coffee, cocoa, tea). 2 points.
Alcoholic drinks only through bartenders. But not limited.
Entertainment is very well thought out - for night revelers this is a nightclub located in a remote room, even the loudest music from there is not heard on the street. There is also a mini disco for kids in the evenings and evening performances for adults.
Internet is free in the lobby bar and in the "reading room" (conference room) above the reception, where there are sockets for laptops near the tables. It is always very quiet and deserted here. Recommend.

Pool 2: near the central bar, with fountains, and a pool with 3 slides that work on time: from 11-12, from 13-14, from 15-16. The presence of a "rescuer" in case of an emergency. He also regulates the ascent of people to the stairs, if there are a lot of people. The slides are not dangerous, the seams are not felt, the blue slide is the steepest downhill, the red one is curled with serpentine, it is easy to slow down on it if someone is afraid. And a wide white slide with multi-colored stripes, it is quite short and the most "childish". This entire pool is divided by metal fences into 3 parts - a compartment for people floundering from the slides, a compartment for simple swimming and a shallow pool for crumbs, where the water is heated. Finding sun loungers both on the sea and near the pool with slides is not a problem at any time. Around the pool with fountains - more difficult. The pools are open until 18-19 pm. They don’t kick anyone out, but they start cleaning and people themselves understand that it’s time to leave).
The sea is located immediately behind the gates of the hotel opposite the main entrance. those. in the very immediate vicinity.
The sea is cold. Those. of course, entering after several workouts is not a problem)), but this is not the warm Mediterranean Sea, but the Aegean, and it does not warm up more than 22 gr. never. It seemed to me that it was more or less warm by 11 o'clock in the afternoon.
The beach has black sand mixed with the smallest gravel or shell rock - walking on it with bare feet is comfortable, but hot in the sun. The entrance to the sea is gentle, but at the entrance you have to overcome a strip of large stones, which is not particularly pleasant, it hurts your legs, you have to go further, approximately when the water is up to your chest there will already be sand or fine moss at the bottom.
The sea beach is an unusually beautiful sight, it is a bay surrounded by mountains, a small passage into the sea - a gap between a series of these mountains. There are almost never waves.
Sea excursions are not terrible even for those who are severely motion sick. That is, of course, for reliability, you can drink Dramina's pill, but from experience, excursions take place among the islands and the sea is very calm there, the yachts go smoothly like clockwork.

In conclusion, I will only say that we did not see any crooked walls in the hotel, or any flaws, everything is brand new, not a single spot on either the luxurious chairs or on the floor on the carpets, the toilets are torn, with automatic switching on of the light - motion sensors. I confess, I would even agree to live in the toilet at the main restaurant)))))), not a single dirty / tattered towel in the room, everything works, drains and flushes))) Adjustable air conditioners, TVs are tuned to 60 programs, including Russian 3 satellite channels. They pick up well. Towels are changed regularly and without reminders. There is no deposit for brown beach towels. They, as well as white ones, are in the rooms upon arrival and change as needed.
But the most important thing in the hotel is the human factor. Nice people around. Nice talking. Anticipating the desires of guests. Calmness and respect. Unobtrusive service - no tips, no hints of reward. When checking in, one of the managers from the reception - such a fat, fat young man, at our request, took us through several buildings and showed us different rooms to choose from. We stayed in a cool room right above the lobby (as a bonus, it caught the Internet))). To our gratitude, Molchek only answered "This is my job. " Is it really nice? ; )
Helpful information:
The hotel doctor's office is located on the first floor of the building near the pool with slides, next to a shop with useful little things.
Money can be exchanged at several exchange offices, which are located on the opposite side of the street from the hotel. Go right and you will find them there. Especially do not bother, the same exchange rate is everywhere: 1 dollar = 1.5550 Turkish liras. NO exchange fee. In shops, if you pay in dollars, the calculation is everywhere 1 dollar = 1.5 lira. Therefore, it is more profitable to first change dollars to lira. And then how do you decide.
If you go to the right from the hotel exit along the same street, a pleasant MGM market is a 5-minute walk at a relaxed pace, they sell drinks, Turkish sweets in boxes, all kinds of soap, souvenirs, sunglasses and products, air mattresses, as well as shoes and summer things mainly from the Turkish company ONLY - cool quality, very pleasant knitwear on the body, and very inexpensive - from 9 to 25 liras for a T-shirt / t-shirt / shorts, for example. They also sell light hats and caps. A lot of Michael Jackson’s hats, I saw people wearing them with dark glasses on their eyes - sheer Jacksonomania)))) But it’s cool))) In MGM, if you pay in dollars, change is given at the official rate, and not rounded). My son tasted the local chewing gum, very soft and tasty; )

Not as an advertisement, but just out of a sense of gratitude - special thanks to Teztur, the organization of everything - from the beginning to the end of the tour - is beyond praise. Representatives were constantly in the lobby, it was not difficult to find them. All excursions are thought out and worked out over the years. As an advantage from street sellers of excursions - insurance against accidents on excursions. A small overpayment did not strain, justifying the responsibility of the tezikov for their obligations.
I do not advise you to go on a free "sightseeing tour of Marmaris. " This is not a tour, but a shopping tour. They are immediately taken to stores without even a minimum plying around the city. At the very first stop, we demanded to be taken back to the hotel, which was unquestioningly fulfilled. The rest of the excursions, if they involved visiting some sales outlets, were not particularly upsetting, usually they were stops for 15-20 minutes to warm up and go to the toilet. At the same time stare at the offered goods. The air conditioners were not turned off in the buses, so you could generally stay in your seats and not go anywhere.
P. S. Sorry if I had to read a lot)
P. P. S. And the hotel bracelet is still removed from the hand "the hand does not rise")) I already want to go back. ))
