Stayed here with my sister. Lovely clean rooms with air con. Beautiful balcony view. Food and drink were very nice. Staff were polite and friendly. Very good location, very near to bars and strip. Could book excursions through the holiday rep in the hotel. Amazing spa facilities, had a turkish bath massage and was so relaxing. Very enjoyable stay and would definitely be back. Very big pool. Shop, nurse and hair and beauty salon on sight.
We arrived late at night and check in was smooth. The staff are very friendly, happy and smiley. Because it was late we missed dinner but across the road is a McDonald’s and supermarket to get food and shopping. In the downstairs lobby is a hot and cold drinks machine that also has biscuits from 11pm-midnight. You can also get a salad roll from the pool bar from 10pm-11pm.
The rooms are all different sizes, our room was a small double but still enough space to move around freely. The bed is a small double and I did find it to be a little uncomfortable. I did ask reception one evening for an extra pillow but was told no which was a shame.
There is a mini fridge in your room free of charge with juice and waters in. The cleaner comes daily. Our room was on the 2nd floor and had a view of the hotel opposite. It would definitely be nice if you were able to get a pool view.
I found the food to be delicious, breakfast, lunch and dinner there was plenty of variety to choose from. Plenty of dessert options to or ice cream. Plenty of fresh salads everyday and fish/meats.
The sunbeds do go quickly, I went down 6:30am/7am and on some days over 3/4 of sun beds were taken already. The pool has 2 slides which is great fun for both children and adults. The beach is less than a 10 min walk. Plenty of bars and places to eat.
The hotel has a spa where you can get treatments done. We had a Turkish bath and it was lovely. I would definitely recommend at the start of your holiday. The hotel has entertainment throughout the day and night.
The hotel has a small shop next to the pool and a hairdressers.
The only downside is the hotel is about 90mins+ by private taxi from Dalaman airport. It cost us £50 in a taxi which I think price wise is fair for the distance.
Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel if you are planning a holiday to Turkey.
Thanks for a great stay!
The hotel staff are so good nothing too much trouble the rooms are spotless we had a balcony view to the pool and sea. The spa Elixar spa and wellness rates along side a 5 star Balinese spa we went for a full 2 hour treatment was the best experience and thank you to Murat Bella and Komang my sister and I felt amazing after our 5 star treatment book early in your holiday as the get very booked up highlight of our stay thank you again . The staff member who cooks the omelets is amazing a real artist how he cooks them and so tasty the choice of food excellent we have so enjoyed our stay and the entertainment is so good
Just back from a week staying here and it was ok, not amazing but for the money ok, good points - staff are really friendly on the whole, bar staff great - i found that the entertainment team were lovely however they would only speak to my husband and not to me, even when i played darts one day they asked my husband my name rather than ask me, bit strange but whatever. The food was great lots of choice, we ate in the main restaurant and didnt use the pool bar as the food was better in there, the place is nice and is located in a good location, easy to walk to the beach and loads of shops and bars all around. Now for the not so good points, the pool area is so very crammed, you are literally on top of each other however we always managed to find a sunbed and we would go down usually between 8-9am. The drinks were served in plastic glasses and are not premium brands. The main reason I wouldnt go back is that the beds are really hard and uncomfortable, there is no duvet just a thin waffle sheet which i found cold, also if you have connecting rooms like we did they overlook the main road, this road is the main road into marmaris and is soooooo noisy all day and all night, i didnt sleep for 3 nights until i got used to it, when i asked reception to change rooms he just shrugged his shoulders and said all connecting rooms are like this . There is 1 lift and it goes all round the houses until is stops where you want it to. The entertainment is ok but doesnt last long, kids disco 8.30-9 bingo 9-9.30 and entertainment 9.30 until 10.30 then nothing after this, usually there is something going on until midnight when you go on holiday but not here so be prepared for that, they do however have buses into bar street running most nights at 11.30pm. On the whole it was ok but I wouldnt go back , in my opinion the Green Nature Diamond is a lot better.
Used to going to 5 stars in Greece, we overpaid a bit much for this budget hotel Good location,,staff good,clean Pool unusable if a non-swimmer has 1.5 m all the way round. Area overcrowded just way too small for the number of people.. Drinks not good, food repetitive , lived on salad and soup which are good.. would recommend for the right price but don’t expect five star
