Cozy, clean, smiling staff, near the sea... that's all!
1. There are no Russian-speaking staff at all in the hotel;
2. The rooms do not change towels every day;
3. The air conditioner works by the hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Be careful with the kitchen (for narrow people
food corridor) choice of dishes = 0. Get
their spices and sauces. There are no clean side dishes, A
YOU WON'T LAST A PERUSHKA LONG. .
5. When leaving the hotel at 3:40 pm, breakfast is not
gave (was ordered) By ph. didn't wake up. .
6. In a bar, except for beer, everything is "poison"
ABOUT THE RESORT: Marmaris is a fairy tale! There are few Russian-Ukrainians, more and more Europeans from northern countries. There are a lot of people with small children, as well as deep pensioners and wheelchair users. A chic promenade, beautiful cozy cafes, the sea is calm and quiet. Fairytale area. We recommend a sea excursion around the islands (for the whole day, $ 25, with lunch, it is better to take it from street operators). It's an hour and a half drive from the airport to the hotel.
About the hotel: Asli is the name of the owner's daughter. In terms of service and comfort pulls on 4-ku. Small, cozy, clean. To the sea 20 m. You can sit in a bar and run to swim in the sea. Convenient location.
NUMBERS. When we arrived, all the rooms, alas, were occupied. We, having apologized, settled for a day in a nearby new Malibu hotel (4 ****). But then we were given a chic family room on the 5th floor with a wonderful view and excellent sound insulation. Cleaning daily (they put baksheesh 2 lira, but you can do without it). There were no problems with TV and hot water. There is a safe, but we didn't use it. Air conditioning FREE and 24/7!
FOOD: great!! ! Breakfast is typical - eggs, omelettes, cheeses (up to 5 kinds! ), a lot of vegetables, dried fruits (figs, dried apricots), watermelon and melon - three times a day. Coffee-tea-cappuccino - unlimited and good quality. Lunch - never repeated. As a rule, soup, a meat dish, french fries (very often), rice-pasta - and again A LOT of VEGETABLES: fresh, salted, stewed. Dinner: there was fish twice, and so - chicken wings, shawarma, meat beef, grilled meat, something from the national cuisine (meat and spicy), donuts, zrazy... You can’t list everything. Not counting, again, soups, vegetables, fruits, side dishes (in abundance). Diarrhea and other "effects" was never. Of the alcohol, we drank only local beer (we love it), but the bar had everything and always enough. In the end, they got better. And very.....
In general, the food is excellent. In addition, clean dishes, clean tablecloths, no queues, traffic jams, which is the merit of the staff. The only downside (maybe) is the desserts. Don't expect Egyptian croissants and cakes. Halvah, mousse, Turkish delight, jams. . . and fruit. But we are satisfied, otherwise we would have been glutted altogether, sorry.
STAFF: well done!!!!! ! everyone is polite, many speak excellent Russian. Appropriate managers. There was a moment - a group of Scandinavian guys behaved "loudly". We sat down in the restaurant on the eve of dinner, blew beer and made a lot of noise. The manager politely and convincingly approached, asked them to sit down by the pool and not interfere. And so it happened. In general, there were no problems with vacationers. 90% of tourists in the hotel are Europeans and wealthy Turks. "Ours" are few, and then, people, to a greater extent, are adults. Or with children.
TIPS: take a walk in the evening along the street of bars, that is, along the embankment. There is something to see! You can take various souvenirs home, but we bought Turkish tea (packs of 0.5 kg) in the supermarket (from $ 2). The tea is delicious, beautiful packaging, fragrant. There, in the supermarket, you can buy fruits and ice cream for yourself. The prices are ridiculous.
Have a nice rest!
P. S. Thanks once again to the agency "Let's go with us" (Belaya Tserkov) and personally to Lyudmila Vovchenko. Well done! Great tour!
This "Malibu" has not yet opened, so no one was noisy there and did not interfere with sleep. Slept with an open balcony. The hotel has some lotions with air conditioning (paid if for the whole day and free if 2 times a day for a couple of hours). In the first half of May, air conditioning is not needed at all, and starting from June without it, I think it is stuffy in the room.
The weather, contrary to forecasts, was wonderful - sunny, warm, but not hot. Evenings and nights are cool. The water in the sea was 20 degrees. In Icmeler, the sea seemed colder to me than on the beach next to the hotel.
The hotel is urban, there is practically no territory. There is a small pool, sunbeds and umbrellas by the pool. 50 meters to the sea, to the center of Marmaris (Bar Street) 40-45 minutes walk, to Icmeler - an hour at a sports pace. The audience in the hotel - Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and the British. Most are young people in their 20s and 30s. The people behaved calmly and decently.
The food cannot be called delicious and mega-diverse, but I liked it - they cooked deliciously, lettuce, for example, was always fresh. Once there was a strawberry. Every day - apples and oranges. Most often, chicken was cooked as a meat dish, two or three times there was deliciously cooked beef, once - fish. Desserts and pastries are more modest than in hotels of a higher star rating. For breakfast with tea there were Turkish delights of two or three kinds, halva, dried figs and dried apricots.
I did not observe delicious juices from the packages that were written about in the reviews. There was something yupiobraznaya, as always in Turkish hotels. From alcohol I tried only white wine - normal.
Several cats and cats come to the hotel for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Animals ask for food from vacationers, the hotel staff chase them (cats, not vacationers). But still, every time 3-4 cats enter the territory of the dining room. In Marmaris, in general, there are many cats of different colors and varying degrees of grooming.
I really liked Marmaris - well, where else is there a promenade on the waterfront with a length of more than twelve kilometers (from the Marina at the end of Marmaris, behind the center to the end of Ichmereler)! You can wander through the streets in the center, climb to the fortress, which offers a magnificent panorama of the city and its surroundings, drink a cup of Turkish coffee on the embankment, go to shops and shops. Shopping was not the goal, but we bought a few towels and bright ceramic plates. On the next street - a textile outlet (I think there is a sign "MGM" there) with nice prices.
In general, the rest was more pleasant than expected.
The territory of the hotel is small but cozy, the staff is very friendly, they clean every speck of dust, smiling, the hotel is very clean, there is beer, white and red wine, crayfish, vodka, 3 types of liqueurs at the alcohol bar,
The weather we had was great, in early May it was not the season, but 30 degrees during the day and 24 in the evening suited us perfectly, the sea is not warm but not cold, swimming is quite pleasant, we went to the beach for free, some bars were not open yet, we took 2 excursions - a tour of the Aegean islands on a yacht, and safri on jeeps, only $ 15 (you ride for half a day and are fed), in general, we are very satisfied!
A burning moment - they were fed for slaughter 4 times a day, not counting soy sausage for breakfast, there was meat every day for lunch and dinner (chicken, beef, lamb, fish). The cook has never been repeated, RESPECT. There were many temptations for those with a sweet tooth - Turkish delight, baklava, cakes, figs, dried apricots, raisins. A variety of fruits - pears, peaches, plums, melon, watermelon, white and black grapes. Large selection of alcohol without restrictions.
To the beach 20 meters, if you do not lie down on the first line, no one requires anything. For 11 days of rest on the beach, they bought fresh juice for $ 4 once.
To the bar street on foot along the embankments along the restaurants and disco aquariums 30 min, on the murshrutka 5 min for 1.75 lire (~ $ 1)
------------------Now the cons:
The staff is unfriendly, does not speak Russian.
Quiet family hotel, no one suits the disco by the pool.
The air conditioner works on the hours of 18.30-21.00 and 00.00-04.00, when it is not very hot. The owners save money, and in the heat of +50 it is outrageous. This is a major minus.
