SEA: before lunch - the purest transparent water, small fish go in schools, small catfish crawl along the bottom, once they saw a lizard. After lunch, the water is more turbid, as the sand rises from the bottom due to the large number of people splashing in the sea and yachts passing by. The water is cool, it doesn’t get too warm even after lunch in 30-40 degree heat, but at this air temperature it’s just right. After seven in the evening, you can’t swim in the sea, as the guide said - it can be unsafe due to sea urchins.
In terms of the sea, one of the best hotels on the waterfront.

BEACH: sand, and a little gleaming, very few pebbles. Sunbeds are free. There are also hammocks.
Attention, confirmed by Intourist guide! ! ! - sun beds - pillows on the beach are considered paid, as payment you order something from the menu: a drink (juice - 5 lire, water, beer, cola, etc. ), or food (ice cream 4-5 balls in a glass bowl - 6 lira, pizza - 12-13 lira).

As for the first line of sun loungers, it is worth clarifying this point with the guide, since the beach workers explain that the situation is the same with the first line of sunbeds, as well as with cushion beds, while this information is not in the description of the hotel on the website, and therefore, it may misunderstandings with staff.

FOOD (important for families with children):
Breakfast: daily - cheese, sausage, olives and black olives, chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, fresh white bread, honey, butter, two types of jam, milk, tea, coffee, and of course WATERMELONS! ! !
Dinner: (according to vouchers, which must first be taken at the reception, stating the room number and indicating the number of people who will have dinner) The voucher must be given to the cook, who sets the food himself (soup, rice, pasta, fish; instead of fish, there can be meatballs, fried or chicken stew, instead of rice there can be couscous, instead of pasta - potatoes).
You can pick up salads, baked eggplant and watermelon on your own.
In total there were about 5-6 trays with different salads.
We bought food and drinks at the Tansas supermarket (Tansas) (from the hotel you need to walk to the bus stop, cross the road, turn left and go until you see a large Tansas sign, there are prices below which we have not seen in Marmaris, including below than in the Point Center (aka Mega), for example, cherries are about 8 liras per kg, nectarines and peaches are about 3, instant Turkish coffee - 0.35 liras, water 1.5 liters - 0.99 liras, organic pomegranate juice - 7 liras, nectars and juices more low quality about 2-3 lira, ayran - 0.55 lira, processed cheese about 350 gr - 3-4 lira.
ROOM: we were very lucky with the room, because it was with a sea view. There are also rooms with windows on neighboring hotels. Plumbing worked for us, hair dryer and TV worked. There is no fridge or safe in the room. So everything is normal. Towels were changed every other day, bedding - once in 10 days, the carpet was not vacuumed.
The air conditioner works fine, the main thing is not to confuse the program on the remote control.
ATMOSPHERE: I think that with the shift that worked at the hotel during our stay there, we were lucky, we had no problems with the staff, special thanks to Murat. The staff is adequate and friendly.


along the embankment you can walk to the fortress, inside the fortress there is a museum that is open until 17:00, a ticket costs 3 lira, from the towers of the fortress the city is visible at a glance. Near the fortress - covered shopping arcades.
