Well, I will share my impressions about the trip... I’ll say right away that what is written in previous reviews, that Marmaris is a resort for foreigners and not even very cheap, is true... It’s better to take more money with you... The hotel itself suitable for those who do not have special requirements, even as a 3 *... For example, I was in different three-room trips in different countries, but each resort has its own idea of ​ ​ u200bu200ba 3 * hotel... This hotel is more like, roughly speaking, a city hotel, that is, if anyone was in Egypt or Tunisia in three stars, then do not expect to see the same...
Well, I liked the hotel, because I was not going to sit in the hotel, but to actively relax... But I warn you, there may be problems with the check-in, they may offer to spend the night in another hotel... Do not let the guide who settles you until you they will say something intelligible... And our volume disappeared and said that you should expect a meeting with your hotel guide at 16 o'clock... But we were settled normally... In normal rooms...
In Marmaris, all the hotels on the first line of the territory do not have any at all... They are all located sooooo compactly... That is, when they write that there is a side view, then of course there is, but if you look straight ahead, you can see the room of another hotel (I will add photos))) ), the distance is literally a meter 3)... The pools are also sooooo small... , in our hotel I didn’t even swim in it)... , and in the evening the pools are closed with a plywood frame, on which tables are placed for dinner)))... It was a little scary to walk, t . to the frame sagged a little...

As for the rooms for the Slavs on the 5th floor, it’s also basically true, but my friends and I were settled on the 1st and 2nd floors... The rooms are normal there... Everything worked for us, the air conditioner did not work (on the 5th floor, those who flew with us had air conditioning , there were no light bulbs in the bathroom at first, but they asked at the reception and changed it the next morning)... They cleaned us every day and well, changed towels and bed linen, there was even wet cleaning...
The food is normal, breakfasts are standard (cereals, cheese, sausage, tomatoes, cucumbers, coffee, tea, milk (not tasty), upi)), there is no sweet for dinner, different salads (8 types), hot (fish, rice, chicken - delicious enough! )
Restaurants in hotels on the first line are public... That is, there for dinner, for example, from the street they call for dinner... For vacationers, the tables are on this frame above the pool, the plates really take a long time to be removed... But the restaurant of our hotel is the most popular)))....After dinner (21.30) you just can’t sit in a restaurant, you have to order something (the prices are crazy, 0.5l beer costs $ 5)... After dinner they have small shows (break dance, belly dance, club dances, then a disco a small stage, music until exactly one o'clock, you won't sleep in the rooms at this time, because you can hear it as if you are sitting in the headphones and the volume is maximum... ). Marmaris, in principle, is not for those who want to sleep... We came from discos at 5 in the morning , and then calmly woke up for breakfast at 9...
Breakfast from 8 to 10, dinner from 19.30 to 21.30…
As for the sunbeds, it’s also true, the 1st and 2nd line of sunbeds for foreigners from the “street”, cost $ 5... Yes, by the way, small fish swim there that bite)))))), well, you can’t even call it a bite, and there are no traces, it doesn’t hurt, but still I warn you... but there are few of them... And you can’t swim at night, because after sunset sea urchins appear, but they are not poisonous, but they have a lot of needles... We didn’t meet them near the hotel, but when they went on a tour of the islands of the Aegean Sea, a friend stepped on such a hedgehog... (I’ll add a photo), but everything is fine, they got the needles smeared with oil, and then smeared with iodine and a day later everything was fine, it didn’t hurt...

The staff is friendly... I read that they are boors, etc.... , so they behaved correctly and normally with us... For example, in Kemer, the Turks are really hungry, but here they are normal... We talked with the owner of the hotel, so he said, that for so many years of work in the hotel and Marmaris, they have already become accustomed to so many girls and do not even react to them...
The nightlife in Marmaris is awesome! )... There are an unlimited number of discos, entrance is free everywhere... But the prices for nipati are scary (from $ 10), but they will not force you to buy anything there... And most importantly, there are no drunks at all...
I will definitely return to Marmaris, there is the best!
Excursions both from guides and from just tour shops on the waterfront are the same... We went from both of them... I advise you to take an excursion to Pamukkale from your guide (cost $ 65, and on the waterfront $ 60 well, for swimming in the Cleopatra pool $ 20 ), it’s worth going there, it’s very interesting, it takes 3.5 hours to drive to Pamukkale (departure at 6.20), but on the way you stop for breakfast, then at a carpet factory (the carpets there are amazing, expensive, but they are worth it... !!! ), then you reach Pamukkale (swim, take pictures, etc. ), then go to the onyx factory, the winery, and the textile center, and then finally to the hotel... We arrived at 20.30...
There are also excursions to the islands of the Aegean Sea ($ 23-25) and the Mediterranean Sea ($ 12-15)... Fishing is somewhere around $ 20-25, well, rafting, diving, jeep safari, but we were not on them and the cost I don't remember. . . Lunch is definitely included. . .
But again, I emphasize that this hotel is not suitable for those who have big requests for 3 *... For me, the main thing was not the hotel itself, but the rest, which is amazing in Marmaris... I rarely complain about anything on vacation, so I liked everything and the attitude it was good. . .
