I have to say outright that the staff are some of the best I have ever encountereed at a hotel. Welcoming and friendly. The hotel rooms are a little dated but not so much that it was unacceptable. I would warn you though - THERE IS NO LIFT. and the floors can go up to 4 flights of steps. The air con is only in the living area and costs £40 per week. We took 2 little USB fans for the bedroom and it was just enough. If you really don't like the heat though, you may have to fork out for the air con. The Kitchenette was sparce. It does have a toaster though (woohoo!!) but cutlery and crockery was extemely low and no big glasses or bottle opener. TAKE YOUR OWN TOILET ROLL - you have to provide your own and it is only sold in 24 rolls! We did get the trots though, so it came in useful ;). There is a supermarket just around the corner that sells most things and has a cashpoint. Oh and all cashpoints make a local charge. Take Lira and not Euro's. Or better yet, take a pre loaded card with Lira on it. The house maid - Sarah was incredible and did some wonderful designs on our bed. Towels and sheets are changed twice per week. Food was very good in the hotel but just a touch more expensive than outside. Drinks were the same price. The whole resport was considerably more expensive than the last time we came and on a self-catering holiday for 1 week, we spent £700!! We do not eat 3 meals per day and do not drink much either. The average cost of a mid way decent evening meal and 1 drink was £35 for two. We averaged a spend of £80 per day between us. Don't be fooled by the 2 for 1 drinks - they are £7 so not really 2 for 1 price! The hotel makes a real effort on entertainment as they need you there spending your money and not outside. However the Music was way too loud for me (I am partially deaf and wear hearing aids). Plus it was all dance music. Just not our thing. The area is all the same though - like Great Yarmouth at the height of summer!! It is a good 20 minute walk to the beach and we walk at a reasonable pace. The pool is nice but again the loud music comes on about 1pm and spoilt it for us.It is fairly small and did get crowed though. All in all, I would say this is a hotel / area for the younger generation and not necessarily for the 50+ couples. But that is just my view. There are queiter parts of Marmaris though, so don't be put off.
