I’ll make a reservation right away, this is my first time in Turkey, but after talking with compatriots who met me at this hotel, I concluded that the hotel can be rated at 5, but with big disadvantages, which I think can be eliminated by the efforts of hotel employees. We were given a room in the main building on the top floor. The view from the room is good (as I understand it is from everywhere). About the bungalow I can not say I do not know. There were no problems at all with the attendants (except that they don’t speak Russian. Well, I don’t speak Turkish either. And okay). In our race, I almost didn’t find the Russians, just as I didn’t find any animation (I probably got it, I don’t know). The dominant holidaymaker in this hotel (and in Marmaris as a whole) are the British. They can be recognized by the statues of their bodies. Marmaris was a colony of the British, who settled there, many have been living there for more than one generation, which is why they rest as owners, which they may be there. Unfortunately, there were incidents with their participation and mine. . The first happened because one English-speaking woman was sincerely surprised that I did not know English at her level (maybe it would be time to take it up, but probably this is my own business). The second one, when a tipsy Englishman of 25-27 years old began to present something to me in English in a rude manner and with insults, the fight didn’t work out just because I didn’t understand what he wanted to say. Well, this is so, a lyrical digression. Nevertheless, in Marmaris without the basics of English it will be difficult. The territory of the hotel is quite large, but you can’t turn around right away. There is a beautiful alley which has no end. As it turned out on it, you can walk to two more hotels. The food is chic, you don’t even have to worry about this, the menu is varied. Once during the rest you can dine for free in an alacarte restaurant, there are several of them: a pizzeria, a fish one, and some other. The hotel room is decent, it is nice, air conditioning, TV, everything works. Bathtub is gorgeous. There is a wicker table and two chairs on the balcony, romantic) Sauna and Turkish bath are free. In the village of icmeler, which is a 5-7 minute drive from the hotel, there is a bazaar, a large and varied. A bus like a passenger gazelle goes there. The fare is $2. Taxis are expensive and take a long time to walk. In general, it is better to have American currency with you on the market, because the price for one product is set in 3 currencies (for example, a magnet - the price is 2 dollars / 2 lira / 2 euros), of which the dollar is the cheapest, and change from the euro is no one will give you dollars. And be sure to bargain. If you are a girl, you can bring down the price by 3 times. But for this you will at least kiss. Maybe even on the lips. But the most important reason to come to this hotel is the sea. . . Crystal clear transparent. And you don't swim in it, you fly. . . The hotel does not physically have a beach, there is a narrow path lined with stone (similar to the Greek style). Basically, everyone wanted to settle down on the pier, from which you can dive into this gorgeous sea (who is afraid there is a ladder for that). The beach has a bar, showers (it is useful to wash off the salt). I was satisfied with the rest and the hotel, and most importantly, there is an irresistible feeling to return there again. . .
