We went to Marmaris Park with my wife from September 1 to 8. The tour operator is "Anex Tour", the airline is "Azur Air", the travel agent is "For a ticket".
Departure from St. Petersburg at 12.50 and from Dalaman at 19.50 without any delay. Arrival both there and back ahead of schedule.
Aircraft "Azura" B-763 can be seen that they are not at all new, but quite decent, the crews are great, both cockpit and flight. Plaids, after serving the children, were given out to everyone. Meals there - for 5 plus (Pulkovo), back - for C grade (Turkish).
Representatives of Anex met us and seated us in buses. A little over two hours drive (it was planned to stop for 15 minutes, but it didn’t work out (the road was being repaired at the entrance) and we were at the hotel. We went to four more hotels, but 10 people got off there. The rest of the bus turned out to be going to Marmaris Park.
Hotel and service:
We arrived at the hotel a little after 8pm. We were immediately put on bracelets and sent to dinner (it is until 21.00). Then they took the passports and gave out the keys to the room (we took a room overlooking the garden, but they gave us a room in the main building under a roof overlooking the sea. Maybe the letter that I wrote to the hotel from St. Petersburg, in which I asked to congratulate my wife with DR and hinted at a "good" number : ))) Many people speak Russian at the reception, so there are no problems. For $ 20 they issued cards for beach towels (when we left, they were returned to us).
Marmaris Park Hotel, to put it mildly, is already battered by time. There are no double-glazed windows, no electronic keys. Although it is clear that the staff is trying to maintain order. Wi-Fi is free, but very weak, with constant breaks. Moreover, the signal is the same no matter where - in the lobby, on the terrace, by the pool, on the beach. We had the best work in the room: )))
The room had a large double bed and a sofa (there was one light bedspread, but the request to the maid to give was still immediately fulfilled). In the mini-bar - two one and a half liter bottles of water (then not replenished). Safe - for a fee, but we did not use, the values were in plain sight, no one took anything. Five Russian channels (1st, Planet, Russia-24, TNT, some kind of music), but they are not in order, but mixed with others. The air conditioner (central with electronic control) works almost silently, but it blows directly on the bed, so I had to conjure it a little in Russian : ))).
The bathroom has a shower, hairdryer, soap, shower caps, a set of needles and threads. Shower gel, aka shampoo - in the dispenser. Only soap was provided.
Towels were changed for new ones if you throw them on the floor. Bed linen was changed once a week. Cleaned the room quite normally, regardless of the money left. There are no slippers to speak of.
By the way, for those who have a late flight. We handed over the room, as expected, at 12.00. The bracelets were not cut off. We had a quiet lunch, sat at the bar. Lay on the beach, swim. Then we went to the spa, took a shower, changed clothes. Beach towels were handed over just before departure.
Restaurant (canteen) and bars:
The food is almost five stars. Chicken, beef (by the way, the hotel cooks it very well), lamb, turkey in various versions, fish. Rice, pasta, potatoes, all sorts of vegetables. Soups are thin for lunch and dinner. But, unlike most Turkish hotels, they do not make omelettes with fillings for breakfast. From fruits - watermelons, melon, apples, plums. A bunch of pastries. Ayran was very popular.
In bars pour not stint. Beer - only draft. EFES type. The rosé and white wines are quite good. Didn't like red - too sour. But this is an amateur. Haven't tried hard drinks. They say they are local in Turkey.
Beach, sea, air:
The weather was indulgent these days. 32-35 air, 27-28 water.
To the sea, one might say, at hand. Entering the sea is like entering a swimming pool. From the plate. There are ladders. On the left side, the depth at the plate is waist-deep, on the right (near the hill) it is much deeper. The bottom is rocky, the water is perfectly clear. There are practically no waves, since the bay is surrounded on all sides by islands.
By the way, in the morning you can get a free peeling session : ))) If you stand still, small fish immediately swim up and start biting your feet.
There are quite a few loungers on the beach. In any case, it was not such that it was impossible to find a couple of free ones nearby. And the beach itself is quite long. When we sailed on the boat, it seemed to be the largest of all the hotels nearby.
By the way, the stove has its own huge plus - the territory of the hotel and the feet are always clean. No sandy mud.
Beach towels are issued and changed at the SPA center from 8 am to 12 pm. Until 17, you can return the used one, get a card, and take a new one in the morning. By the way, the sauna and pool in the SPA center are free.
I can’t say anything about the pool, because we didn’t plunge into it once in a week. Why a pool, if there is a gorgeous sea nearby in 20 meters?
Excursions:
Ordered in St. Petersburg. I will say right away - do not take Turkish baths (neither from a guide, nor from local agencies). Money thrown away. This is not the first time in Turkey we are convinced of this. It is better to pay three or four times more expensive at your hotel. There, on the first day, they will do you very well with the expectation that they will promote you for the future.
We went to the Confluence of the Two Seas. Large three-deck ship. All inclusive, foam disco, several swimming stops. For $25 per person for the whole day is quite good. Anex is more expensive, and they rent space on ships from local agencies.
Summary:
Rested very well. You don't have to work to rest, right? : -))) And all sorts of shortcomings can be found in a seven-star hotel.
