Next - the rooms - very clean and comfortable! There are shampoos and conditioners in the bathroom. Water in the fridge (mini-bar), cleaning in the rooms is excellent. The territory is well-groomed, clean. There are no children, that is, the rest is calm. The bed is changed, beach towels are given out and changed! We flew out early in the morning, then they gave lunch boxes with food, it's nice that such care is even without asking. The sea is at hand, here it is a bar, and now the sea). In the heat - what you need, so as not to wander under the sun. There were always enough sun loungers! Mattresses to him for free. The sea, however, was a little cold. For all the time there was never a wave, which was joyful for us, because due to health problems, it would not have been possible to swim with a wave. Entering the sea is a gentle sand, no aquashoes are needed! There are many shops nearby, we went to the leather store, which is across the road on the left, we bought what we planned.
We had a great time at the hotel, thanks guys!
Food: I went many times on the all-inclusive system, but to give watermelon and melon for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and every day, I see this for the first time. For example, last year in Kemer, in fives at the end of September, they gave watermelon twice, and then they said it was not the season, this is not the season in Turkey in September. The food is delicious. Respect to the chefs, they prepared very tasty food, there was always beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, fish every other day. Own pastry shop, cakes from 11 to 17, from 16 to 17 ice cream every day (also for dinner). The bar has a good beer - Tuborg, also was Ephesus - did not like it. Turkish wine and vodka did not try, imported drinks for a fee, Turkish coffee - $ 2, free coffee from a coffee machine.
Beach: There were enough places for everyone, it was not necessary to occupy at 6 in the morning, although there were "thieves' places" near the palm trees, they were occupied early in the morning. Change of towels on the beach every other day. Shower and dressing room on the beach. The staff does not speak Russian, but problems were always resolved with gestures. Money was changed in Migros at 8.8 lira per dollar (you need to make a purchase), change will be given in lira, in exchange offices 8.2. Excursions were taken across the road. Prices are two times cheaper than those of the TUI tour operator. Service at the highest level. I recommend, you won't regret it. We went to about. Cleopatra for $48 for two, the guide has $100 for two. In general, I liked the rest, I will return again to Tropical.
The beach is 5 meters from the bar and dining area. The beach is wider than in all other hotels. Yes, the sand is not sifted))) but the rubbish is not lying around. There were enough places for everyone on the beach, but the very "wise" with their towels from 6 in the morning were very annoying. The music in the bar is not stressful, until 23.00 maximum. Then peace and quiet, we slept well, though the balcony was on the sea and the pool. In general, the impression of the hotel is excellent. There are no complaints about the transfer from TUI, we bought a tour from them - everything, in principle, is normal, but these mandatory points of the program - arrivals at textile centers, tastings, etc. with exorbitant prices and with a "20% discount" - charlatanism. It's not good for a company to humiliate itself like that.
The room was clean and the towels were changed every day. Very friendly staff. Especially the waiters (a very cheerful guy Hakan, who will pour you a cup of coffee in the morning). The food is varied and not boring. Plentiful amount of meat and various vegetables. You can't stay hungry here. Both for vegetarians and true meat eaters. The confectionery is open from 11 to 17 (from 16 to 17 you can take ice cream). Sweets are also available during lunch and dinner.
Wifi is weak, like everywhere else in Turkey. Need Internet - buy yourself a SIM card for $20. In the evening you don't get bored. You can sit at the bar where you can also watch football. Alcohol tolerable, not bodyazhny. The beach is small, but there is enough space for everyone. Beach towels are also provided by the hotel. Only vacationers from the hotel will be on the beach. At the hotel, you can approach Natalia and sign up for spa treatments. The sauna itself is included in the price of the hotel.
On the downside, this is the TUI tour operator with their policy of imposing excursions and intimidation, that in Turkey you will be stripped to the bone, left naked and thrown into the sea. Do you want different excursions? Walk along the promenade to the booking office, or cross the road from the hotel and talk to Valentina. She will help.
The hotel's beach compares favorably with the rest on the coast, there is a lot of space, a gentle entrance to the water, the beach is wide, there is always shade and free sunbeds.
Food for 4 *, actually corresponds to the level of the hotel. Now everywhere in Turkey due to covid changes in the All Inclusive system and this hotel is no exception. Food is poured by cooks, you have to ask for an addition. There is a variety, but the menu itself does not change throughout the day.
There are no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel, while they only know English at the reception - get ready to communicate with gestures) but in general everyone understands you. Animation in the hotel is not provided at all, but in such a place it is not necessary - two cities within walking distance, where any entertainment and there is something to see. You can also take a minibus for 4.75 lira. Probably not worth going with small children, it will be boring, there is nothing for children in the hotel. The continent is more European, plus the Turks rest, we didn’t meet noisy companies) the impression of the hotel and the rest as a whole are excellent, we got what we wanted, if we return to Marmaris again, then only here!
The beach is sandy-pebble, well-groomed, the entrance to the water is comfortable, gentle, enough sunbeds. The sea is clean, transparent. A small disadvantage is that there are no awnings, in the heat of lunch had to go to the room.
The food is normal, there was almost no seafood, but various dishes of beef, lamb, chicken and turkey are almost always present.
Of the disadvantages, I think that the rooms like Land View with access to the street - noisy, and we were first accommodated in a room on the ground floor, near the pool, which also does not reach level 4 ...I recommend at the stage of booking a tour to take a room with sea view (the vast majority of such rooms in the hotel), with a view of the sea and the bay is beautiful.
The rooms were cleaned daily. Wi-Fi is stable only at the reception, although we often fished on the 4th floor.
The pool lights that looked so good in the photo didn't really work one day.
The schedule of bars is not optimal, at certain hours of the day both bars are closed.
Most of the guests were retired, but there were also enough young people.
Hotel for 18+. There were no children here, as well as animation.
But there are all the conditions for a quiet and comfortable holiday.
Satisfied with the choice of hotel.
Of the minuses. The unkind duty manager arranged for all Ukrainian tourists from our flight to the worst rooms in the hotel: on the second floor, with unregulated air conditioning, without a balcony and with windows on the street thundering day and night. They finally finished off three steps from the room to the bathroom and the exit - for my mother with arthrosis, this is an incredibly difficult obstacle. In the bathroom, a thin oilcloth curtain does not close the room at all from shower splashes, the bathroom is tiny, full of water and slippery. Contacting the general manager did not help. The replacement of the number with steps for another was made only after three days of persistent persuasion. I offered to pay extra for relocation, at least officially, at least unofficially, but there were no free rooms with balconies for us.
We were moved to level 0. This is the only room in the hotel with an individual access to the territory, covered from the pool by lush greenery. The air conditioner worked according to the mood - it turned itself off. Around the entrance is a dump of old pots. During the day, a large turtle came to visit, after which I constantly kept the door closed so that something more unpleasant did not crawl. In a hotel where more than 95% of the rooms have balconies with sea views, we found ourselves in the worst options. Unpleasant. It is especially unpleasant when you have hardly earned a vacation, you bring an elderly mother to Marmaris for the first time and really want her vacation to be perfect.
Cleaning for some reason took place either during lunch or after dinner. Very inconvenient, had to put up a "do not disturb" sign to prevent the maid from bursting into the room with a stack of towels.
Very weak Wi-Fi. Safes are paid $ 2 / day, while not electronic, but with ordinary keys. At least that's how it was in our rooms.
