Nice hotel in easy walking distance of Marmaris marina and the Grand Bazaar. The usual all-inclusive food options, (NO pork as this is a Muslim country). Eggs and omelette cooked to order at breakfast. Good choice of food, you will not starve here. Note: this is NOT England! There was entertainment almost every night despite what it says on the website. Some better than others. The entertainment guy, Chico is brilliant. Mainly darts and water polo activities during the day, though. There is a useful mini-market in the hotel, and tea and coffee 24/7 in reception. Rooms are a decent size, and most have either a garden or pool view. Rooms serviced every day. WiFi throughout the hotel is ok. There can be a shortage of sunbeds at peak times, and you may have to queue up at 6:30am to get the one you want. Your towels will be removed by staff if you leave them unattended. So don't do that. Another irritation is that you only get one room card, and all power in the room goes off if you remove it from the slot in the room. Not ideal if one of you needs to go out.. We went in October, and while it was hot during the day, night time can get pretty cool. Entertainment is outside by the pool, so bring a hoodie! We went on 3 trips organised via the Jet2 rep, Ediz. He's great, a mine of useful info. Trips were reasonably priced too. We went on the river trip (with mud bath!), shopping trip, and the full day pirate ship / swimming one. Anyone familiar with all-inclusive holidays in Europe will have no problems with Türkiye these days. A word of warning: while Jet2 flights are great, Turkish airport security is a nightmare. Be ready to present your passport and boarding passes at least 3 times, and your gear will be searched twice, and that's just to get out of Türkiye! Don't rely on having your boarding passes only on your phone, you NEED a printer copy.
