Мармарис 2011 Marmaris 2011

Stayed at this hotel from June 1st to June 8th. I want to immediately prepare those who fly from Kyiv. Remember, the Windrose airline flies to Dalaman only in the afternoon. That is, on the first day at the hotel you will be only at 8 pm - tired and exhausted (flight, queue for visas, long transfer - 1.5 hours). This is very frustrating, especially if the tour is for 7 nights - the whole day is lost. Now about the hotel. For Marmaris, this is just a bomb. Who was, knows that in Marmaris, on the first coastline, only very old hotels have a large territory. And "Ideal Prime Beach" was built one of the first, and now it has been completely restored. Compare the scale of any hotel in Marmaris with Antalya, for example, is not worth it. Naturally, the first is inferior, but this is MARMARIS.
The hotel is just wonderful because it is new. The interior is luxurious, but there are crap with the rooms. Firstly, if you did not pay for the sea view, and you were settled in the main building - your windows will face the roadway - as we did. And the cars are dark, very noisy. Moreover, in the morning you will wake up from a very loud prayer - do not be afraid. It was evident that they were in a hurry with repairs in the rooms - something was not completed, the drain did not work well, something fell off, but the staff was ready to come running at any time and fix everything. They cleaned every day, if something was needed (for example, to replace beach towels) - we caught the maid right on the floor and asked in person - there were no problems with this.
Food. This is all right too. You can always eat and very satisfying. Appetizers, salads, drinks, a lot of meat (turkey, lamb, lamb, beef, chicken), in the evening they take the grill out into the street - you can take it from the heat of the barbecue, pasta is cooked with vegetables right in front of you - only the queue is terrible. In the evening, in the main restaurant, the dress code is no flip-flops and shorts, but this is not a problem, you can walk your outfits.

A huge snow-white bar was built separately on the territory of the hotel - they serve drinks in plastic, but good. from a distance you can’t even distinguish it from glass - everything is made in the form of glasses. You can also take smoothies with ice - very tasty. In the evening, a bar opens on the second floor - there is live music every 2 days - the guy plays the guitar and sings (although he has the same list of songs - he gets bored for the third time). In this bar you can sit on the terrace, and drinks are served in glass, but again, terrible queues !!! ! ((((
Sauna and hammam are free - we went every day, BUT... if someone ordered peeling for money, the hammam is closed for him so that no one interferes. But we had enough of the usual sauna.
It is better to take places on the beach and near the pool in the morning. Especially near the pool. There, people hang out for days - they even carry food from the restaurant and eat. By the way, I forgot to say about the main attraction for those with a sweet tooth - this is a separate confectionery! There all day long all kinds of cakes, cookies, baklava, fruits. You can drink Turkish tea and coffee. The furniture there is very beautiful. The assortment of confectionery products is constantly updated.
In the lobby you can surf the Internet, there is also a bar where you can drink coffee and tea. The reception does not speak Russian, this is a problem for those who do not speak foreign languages. Our guide from Turtes - Ali (we called him the invisible guide) was constantly absent - there was only a sign, although there were already 4 people from the Tez-tour.
The contingent at the hotel is normal - most of the foreigners - there were especially many Dutch - by the way, they often behaved like our Tagil)))) Once they even threw an animator into the pool.
In short, the hotel is amazing. Despite the fact that we fell asleep to the sound of cars.
