Тройка, она и в Мармарисе тройка Troika, she is also a troika in Marmaris

I just returned from the hotel and am writing a review, as they say, in hot pursuit) We decided not to bother too much with the star rating of the hotel and chose the top three in Marmaris only because last year we rested in Icmeler (a village near Marmaris) and were simply delighted with local nature and the sea. The Turks themselves say that this is the most beautiful place in all of Turkey! The DIANA hotel is a solid three, no more no less, although, according to the stories of tourists who vacationed here in 2012, hotel service and food became an order of magnitude worse...
The rooms in the hotel are not much different from one another - somewhere the hair dryer does not work, somewhere the shower does not work, somewhere else there is a fungus in the bathroom, etc. , and you will be lucky if the first time you are settled in more or less decent number. Our friends changed number three times!! ! The room was cleaned every day, but not very carefully, the towels were changed once a week, the bed was not changed at all (the dollar left for the cleaners did not help))) We contacted the reception and the hotel guide Elena (Coral travel ) no changes were made.
Meals at the hotel are 5 meals a day, and if you are not whimsical about food, then you will not stay hungry. A lot of vegetables, both fresh (there were not very fresh) and grilled vegetables. From meat-chicken in its various manifestations was every day, once a week there was a barbecue (also chicken). The beef was cooked once and it was delicious, for which the chef received a compliment from us) The fish was every day for lunch. The rest, as usual, is a bunch of all sorts of salads from half-eaten food, soy sausages, meatballs, cheeses, sausages. Of the side dishes, rice (by the way, delicious), french fries, the rest I didn’t even try. For lunch, soups-vodichka with tomato or bean paste. Baking, probably, like everywhere else, delicious and fresh, there was something else like ice cream. From fruits, apples and oranges are probably harvested in 2010-2011)

For example, I would not know what to feed my child if he went with us... the kitchen leaves much to be desired!!!
Drinks: you can drink beer, wine that is white or red is disgusting (maybe you just got unlucky with the supplier, because usually wine in Turkish hotels is good), local raki vodka is rare, gin and tonic as an option) Everyone knows that alcohol you need to take your own to Turkey or from Duty Free, then you will not have problems with evening leisure)
There are animators in the hotel, but there is no animation, this was explained with the "YET SEASON" So they entertained themselves, the company saved a lot !!!
We took a tour of the Aegean Islands on a yacht, took it on the street and we don’t regret it at all. Firstly, the cost is $ 20 per person cheaper than that of a hotel guide, and secondly, everything that was promised - free drinks, lunch and a Russian-speaking guide, everything was justified! Everyone is very pleased with the tour, took pictures, swam in the cleanest sea, sunbathed, enjoyed the most beautiful landscapes and sea air. . .
About the beach. The hotel does NOT have its own beach, Nirvana, which the bus takes to, is not a hotel beach, do not believe any stories !!!
Niravana itself, we talked with beach workers and they said that they provide a bus for their money, they also give sunbeds for free, BUT, they really rely on the fact that tourists will use paid beach services - paid sofas, paid bar, etc. . In general, such a marketing ploy)
You can go to any beaches of other hotels, the entrance is 5 liras per person, you can negotiate cheaper.
What else... there are a lot of Russians in the hotel who relax on a grand scale - noisy, drunken and unleashed. There were British, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles.
Total: the hotel is youthful, I do not recommend traveling with children. If you do not plan to sit in a hotel, but only eat and spend the night, then it is quite suitable!
