Drinks: tea, coffee, yuppies; wine: red, rose, white; Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite, etc. Polite, pleasant staff who quickly resolve emerging issues, there are Russian speakers. The bathhouse in the hotel is terribly expensive (unjustifiably), besides this it is simply impossible to go in and warm up - the bathhouse staff immediately jumps in with various offers to buy something (from bath services to shopping). There were enough sun loungers both on the beach and near the pool, but if you want a better place, you need to take it early (it bothered me). On the beach, I would like sand, and not the entrance to the sea from the pier and decorative plates. The sea is very clean, you can swim to the plastic pantones and lie there, sunbathe right in the sea. In the evening animation for children and live music in the bar for adults.
Do not book excursions at the hotel - on the street it is much cheaper, and there is more choice. We went to Pamukkale and Dalyan (individually).
They took it at the local agency of Icmeler from a pleasant woman Irina working there. We also visited three different leather centers in Marmaris from the agency, bought a pair of jackets. By the way, they also went to one of the leather centers from the hotel guides - they were horrified by the prices and quality! You can find an agency if you go in Icmeler to the monument of the fish, after it turn deeper into the village, after 50 meters this agency is the first from the sea. If you do not want to look for an agency. you can find out everything by Whats App or Viber, order and pay when boarding the sightseeing bus that picks you up from the hotel. Agency phone numbers can be found in Yandex and Maps. me.
Icmeler itself is a calm and beautiful tourist village, I think there is no person who would not like it! We also rode bikes to Marmaris, but I liked Icmeler more. In front of the hotel in both directions a beautiful promenade, you can walk or ride a bike.
There are many cafes along the promenade where you can sit while admiring the sea, mountains, palm trees. You can also get to Icmeler and Marmaris by minibus with an orange stripe. The fare is somewhere around a dollar per person. On Wednesday, you can visit the vegetable market in Icmeler, which is open until the evening. We were very pleased with Marmaris, the hotel and excursions. Have a nice holiday everyone!
Minuses:
- the biggest minus is not clean dishes, glasses, forks, knives and plates are not thoroughly washed
- on the beach and pool after 11.00 it is difficult to find a free sun lounger
- beach umbrellas do not help to hide from the sun, small straw
- towels are not changed for dry ones during the day
- small rooms, large balconies
- Shampoo and conditioner are not delivered within a week.
- only water in the mini bar
Pros:
- beautiful nature, view from balconies and terraces, lots of greenery
- helpful staff
- warm, clear sea water
Despite the cons, the stay was great.
Nature is good - the sea, pines.
There are a lot of cicadas and they start singing from 11 to 19.
There are not enough places on the beach, the constant search for sun loungers. At 9-10 you will come to the beach and sunbathe standing up. Umbrellas do not save from the sun, because. They are not here. They are made of straw, 1 meter in diameter, without tilt adjustment. Now the sun is active from 10 and the risk of burning is 100%.
Food for 3 points. You won't go hungry, but there isn't much choice. There are no Turkish sweets in a Turkish hotel, there are no sweets at all.
Constantly 4 types of pie and creme brulee.
Fruits - apples, nectarine, orange, watermelon only in the evening. Everyone cuts.
Coffee and juices are instant.
Normal wi-fi only in the main building, it is not on the beach.
Room cleaning - 3.
The room fund is very tired, I think they did nothing for 10 years.
Change of beach towels 2 times a week.
I won't come for the second time. Because of the closed borders, there is nowhere to go, and the Turks take advantage of this.
Settlement. We saved money and took a bungalow. Moved with a surcharge to the main building on the same day. The horror story in the form of numbers 3668 and neighboring ones worked. Entrance from a terrible wall that props up the roadway at the farthest point of the hotel, two gloomy little rooms with a window without a view. Lack of a terrace, places for drying. Shameful number for 5 *. Excellent in the body. See photo.
Beach. One of the shady terraces was given over to a paid hookah, i. e. places in the shade became 50 trestle beds less. But all day long quiet relaxation music plays from there. One of the beach bars is now paid with a bored bartender. But they built a normal, sorry, toilet. Airan in the beach snack bar again from under the floor. Otherwise, everything is fine: gentle sea, convenient descent, cleanliness, cicadas are not yet in the voice))), in the evening a turtle sails...
Restaurant. A little weaker than in 2018. This time we appreciated luxurious honey (3 types). Which you can buy (there is a showcase with samples and prices). The bakery has improved. The breads are varied and delicious. There are themed days. On a Japanese day, there is a small queue for rolls. Lamb was rare, and sea bream was not given at all.
Staff. Above all praise. Everyone is trying to smile. Nice.
Entertainment. Bar Sultan has been expanded. The stage was taken out, it became spacious and comfortable. Almost every evening they hung out there: karaoke, live music, DJ, Turkish night, etc. Events in closed halls were not attended. We went on the last evening to the "acrobats from Kenya". It's funny and reminded me of the 1938 movie "Circus".
Contingent. Here people write: "look for the tagil in yourself. " Maybe for someone I tagil. But, excuse me, to appear at the reception in swimming trunks, in a restaurant in the evening in a pareo and occupy 3 trestle bed for one body - this is, without a doubt, a high level of culture.
Promenade. It's unforgettable. On the way to Icmeler, everything is in flowering bushes. Great views from every point. We also went to Cityler for souvenir shops.
Departure. Departure at 7-00, sadness. The night is gone. But we talked with the transfer neighbors and realized that Labranda Mares is not the worst option.
