About the hotel.
Listen, people, if the hotel where you are going to rest is really so important to you, please take the trouble to look at the sites not Russian, but Turkish, in which even without knowing the language you can easily find that this is a 3 * hotel with +, and not 4 as they say on Russian sites. And in general, if you want to spend your entire vacation in a hotel, then take a club hotel that is not located in the city. There you will get animation, slides, and all the other delights for those who do not care about efforts, customs, traditions, etc.
Art Mari is a hotel for those who want to settle in the city, but at the same time to have some territory. The territory there is small, but it is normal for a city hotel.

About the location.

The hotel itself is located on the way from Marmaris to Ichmiler (the area is called Cityler, for those who understand - this is almost the final stop of the Marmaris-Cityler minibus), far enough from the center, walking to the bar street for about 1 hour at a slow pace, in general, far away. But there are minibuses, taxis and other means of transportation, so whoever needs it will get there without problems. A free bus runs from the hotel to the street of bars every night back and forth, they even give some special coupon for a free drink in the club (although we never used this bus).
Try to walk along the embankment, there are also many restaurants and nightclubs, and in general a rather beautiful place, there is no such thing in the center.

About the sea.
The sea is 50 meters from the hotel, if there is a desire, the beach can always be found free of charge, you can also use the beach of the Art Marmaris hotel, it is 5 minutes walk. In general, there are no problems with access to the sea.

About food.
The food at the hotel is excellent, the Turks do not know how to cook badly at all. There is always a choice of at least 2 meat dishes. Who is interested in using a local bar, drinking in bulk, and the alcohol is the same as that poured in neighboring 5-star hotels. In general, hungry and sober if you wish, do not stay.
For those who want to feel the whole atmosphere of Turkey, I would advise you to try food not only at the hotel, but also visit local restaurants. Try pide (Turkish pizza) and kebab (meat with spices), I swear you will not regret it. Sea food is good in a restaurant in the center called Neighbour, I haven’t tried it myself, but my friends strongly advised me.

About the staff.
There are simply no words, everything is super, the guys are just great. Without unnecessary gestures and obtrusiveness, they do their work cleanly and accurately. Always ready to help and understand.
A big request to Russian-speaking tourists: if you go on vacation abroad, then don't expect to be spoken to in Russian!!!
no need to blame the staff for not being able to understand Russian, well, there is no such obligation for them !! ! better buy a Russian-English phrase book and learn a couple of phrases that you may need. No one requires knowledge of English to perfection. And never try to run into the staff for not knowing Russian, they don’t require Turkish from you! Be polite and friendly, respect yourself and others and everything will be fine : )
