Nice hotel, great location, you can walk to Marmaris in the evening. There are no questions about nutrition, grilled fish, meat (lamb, chicken, beef) everything is there, cooked delicious, greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, cheeses, fruits (watermelons, melons, plums, peaches, apples). I didn't take ready-made salads, but everything is also in large quantities. Ice cream for lunch and dinner. Sweets for every taste, I would also like to buy them with me, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity. The Italian restaurant was visited at lunch, the pizza is very tasty. The sea is excellent, we did not look for flaws. The beach line is quite large, the sun beds had to be occupied earlier, the cakes on the beach are incomparable, they were in different hotels, here they are the most delicious. Minimum cleaning, garbage was thrown out, paper was added, tea, coffee, water were brought, we did not have soap, they forgot to add it to us, but we did not need to. There were entertainment programs in the evening, we did not go, we walked along the promenade. As a result, the rest turned out to be excellent.
The hotel is very conveniently located between the city of Marmaris and the village of Icmeller. The privacy of the beach area is also preserved, which is rare for this area, because all beaches are publicly accessible, and at the same time, access to a common pedestrian promenade along the entire bay. There are vacationers not from the hotel on the beach, but there are very few of them.
To be honest, the evening program at the hotel is a little weak, but if you go along the embankment towards Marmaris, you can find many fun places with good programs, dancing, etc., and if you go towards Ichmeller, then on the contrary there is a calm beautiful road where you can relax and meditate) There is a Taxi-bot stop very close to the hotel, where you can take a ride to Ichmeller, Marmaris or Turunch Bay. A nice quiet boat trip, although the guides at the hotels stubbornly do not recommend using it. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Good 4 stars can definitely be put)
Place the hotel top! As soon as you arrive at the hotel, the administrator Ilya meets us, quickly picked up good rooms with sea views and we enjoyed our vacation for a week. I did not like the staff using the alakart system for a small fee of 10 euros. We signed up and wanted to go to a fish restaurant in a good mood. Since we had a large company, they wanted to check in advance what kind of table we had, and it turned out that a table was fixed for us at the dish distribution, where dirty dishes were collected, we tried to politely agree with the manager that this table did not suit us, to which he categorically refused to change the table for us. We have abandoned the alyakart. And the mood was certainly spoiled. Later, this waiter met us and said it was a joke... which made us even more angry. That's the story that happened to us. Otherwise, everything is fine. We just didn 't go to alyakart anymore 🤣
A very decent place, the main advantage of which is the crystal clear sea! It covers several significant disadvantages of the hotel itself. There are few of them, but they are available. The main disadvantage is that there are catastrophically few sunbeds by the sea! And this is despite the fact that there is no beach as such, i.e. you can't put things on the sand. Irreconcilable battles are going on for sun beds and the local administration does not regulate this in any way. You can come at 9 a.m. and see that all the sun beds are occupied with towels, personal belongings, and there are only a few people in the sea, the rest just came, threw a towel and went to sleep! A very ugly trend that the administration does not stop in any way! The second disadvantage is the bungalow! Don't even try to live in them! They are far away, the repairs in them are very old, the unbearable smell of sewage, ancient, crumbling furniture! If you choose this hotel, then stay only in the rooms of the buildings (it does not matter whether it is main or side: both are good there).
The main advantage of this hotel is the views from the restaurant are simply gorgeous. There are many different places with tables where you can comfortably stay. The rooms also have excellent views of the sea, but here you can be lucky.The food is not bad, not worse and not better than in the usual fives. But I would like to note :drinks , real coffee beans from vending machines are excellent .juices are also on top.there is lactose-free milk, sugar-free jam.Well-maintained green area with pine trees. The beach is great, but the small pebbles will not interfere with the aquashouse.
In general, the hotel is for 4+
The food is varied, there is a pleasant local alcohol, try gin, it's good. Cocktails are not bad, it's no problem to take something with you from the restaurant.
Little fruit, also little and not often baklava((
The staff is friendly, aunt fun sun guest relation is sitting at the reception, speaks Russian. They also gave out a card for a lost towel without any problems, they don't take money))
One of the disadvantages is a narrow beach due to the natural relief, sun beds are occupied by people early in the morning, you can't sleep. The sea is gorgeous, the visibility of the bottom is many meters. It is cool in the heat because of the bottom springs. The contingent is mainly foreigners and Turks, there are not very many Russians.
In the evenings, the program is so-so, but karaoke went to everyone)))
Do not take excursions from fun sun hotel guides, to be honest, a car rental is at least 20 dollars more expensive than the nearest car rental, but they still order excursions from locals, although they boast that transport and escort are purely fun sun.
P. S in the lobby there is a whole cabinet of books left at the hotel, you can take it to read or at all))
Beautiful location, wonderful view, wonderful walking path-promenade under the shade of pines and palm trees among flowering shrubs; stone beach-platform with stairs - clean feet. The staff is always ready to fulfill requests.
They feed normally, cleaned the building daily, changed towels if necessary.
Sunbathers need to know that in the autumn the sun sets behind the hill, under which the hotel is located, early. At 14 o'clock there is no sun on the main beach, and by 15 o'clock it leaves the pier.
Entertainers every night. 24-hour pastry shop, very decent coffee, and coffee makers everywhere
It is suitable for an unassuming tourist. There is a sea. You can take a chaise longue at 7.00, there will be daily eggs for breakfast and rice with chicken for lunch. Walking distance to the city. In general, the norms for 3*
Opinion of Labranda mares
Positive:
The location.
Friendly reception staff, kitchens and waiters.
Delicious ice cream in individual packages is available for lunch and dinner.
Wi-Fi on the beach works great.
New mattresses.
Minuses:
The lack of its own territory-after dinner, you can sit either on the beach or at the disco-this is if you are lucky, since all tables begin to occupy at 19.00, and dancing begins at 21.00
If there is no territory, then we have never seen the animation, because it takes place by the pool, where all the sun beds are occupied.
An old hotel in need of renovation.
Lack of adequate cleaning corresponding to the status of 5*-daily change of towels, complete absence of wet cleaning.
Very worn towels. With holes. Both in the rooms and on the beach.
Lack of hotel cosmetics. The soap in the dispenser smells bad and does not wash off well.
Periodically, the smell of sewage in the room.
There is no correspondence between the number of vacationers and sun loungers/umbrellas. At 7.30 am, it is not possible to find a chaise longue either by the sea or by the pool. I.e. there is no place at all and you can go to the lobby to sit and wait after lunch, suddenly something will be available.
A modest diet. No frills. Two types of stewed chicken. Overcooked pasta. Rice. Vegetables. The desserts are good. For breakfast, apart from eggs, only pancakes and stale pastries -where did they get it? No themed evenings of national (or other) cuisine.
The absence of ayran, dates, and beer snacks in the Turkish hotel.
Of the fruits in July, only apples, plums, watermelon and melon.
Bottled water is only available on request from the bartender.
There is no tea on the beach. Only in the dining room and lobby.
It feels strange from the hotel, a very beautiful place, the hotel is located in a beautiful pine forest. The pines come right up to the beach.
The beach is a very interesting solution, a concrete ramp with steps or an inclined ramp into the sea, it is convenient for both adults and children to enter, but I recommend this hotel with children from seven years old.
Accommodation - normal rooms.
The service is a complete failure, there are very few employees in the kitchen and in the restaurant, the tables are poorly cleaned.
The kitchen is very monotonous, for the first time in several years I came across this for five stars.
Wine and drinks are all very sad.
Excellent staff. High-quality music. Comfortable rooms. A clean and beautiful beach. Delicious food. The hotel is located in an ideal place for relaxation (nature is inside the hotel, and the urban atmosphere is very close outside).
I would like to thank DJ Eros and Oktay separately. A professional in his field.
A beautiful view hotel, the rooms are worn out, but everything works, the linen is clean, there are no dental supplies, shampoo, balm too, so keep in mind they were cleaned every day, the food is ordinary without frills but everything is delicious, everything is fresh. There are few sun beds, the beach is on the pier, there was a place for us, there are a lot of Sun beds by the pool, the best thing about the hotel is the view of the bay and the cedar grove in which it is located, the smell. It's fantastic, if you walk along the embankment, you definitely understand the difference between a hotel and in the city and this one standing in the corner of the bay. The hotel is for relaxation, it's not noisy, the animation is standard, for children everything seems to be there and an Aqua slide and ice cream.
You know, this is a cozy place, if you are still, or no longer attracted by the gloss of heavy luxury, polished luxury and the bustle of large family hotels, then you are here.
Beautiful nature. Mountains, forest. Excellent location for morning runs, walks along the long promenade that unites the whole city, bicycle detours of Marmaris, boat trips, hiking trails. The cool invigorating waters of the Aegean Sea, magnificent views of the mountain bays. All infrastructure is nearby, restaurants, excursions, shops.
The kitchen is without frills, but everything you need is always in sufficient variety. The rooms are different, personal recommendation, do not take the attic 4th floor, take the 2,3rd with a view of the pool or the sea (left wing of the main building) there are the most comfortable rooms with a large panoramic balcony. There is no difference in price, but the difference is significant.
A wonderful hotel! We rested from October 13 to October 21 in a standard room. Cleaning was daily, the area was amazingly clean, there were always enough sunbeds (maybe it's not the season anymore).The menu is very tasty and varied. Minibuses run to Marmaris, a water taxi every 20 minutes to the center. I definitely recommend it for a relaxing holiday!
The food is varied and delicious. The room in the bungalow is new and nice. The cleaning was done 1 time in 5 days. A couple of times she just wasn't there, and 2 times the cleaner came at a quiet hour, although we asked her the day before to come until quiet.an hour (but the woman does not understand either Russian or English, and we did not have time to learn Turkish in 5 days). Because we have a small child who is difficult to put down with noise, we simply did not let the cleaning. A huge disadvantage is the flies in the lobby bar and restaurant. There are a huge number of them.
The most wonderful thing about Labrande Maris is the views. A very beautiful view from the window, it is beautiful to lie on the beach and admire. The beach is weak-small, everyone lies side by side. Deck chairs should be occupied early in the morning, otherwise you will be left with nothing and you will have to look for hotel staff to find sun beds (we needed 4 pcs) and squeeze them somewhere. The beach is rocky and uncomfortable. I do not recommend it with a small child, there was not enough sandbox or at least something for children. A huge omission of the hotel is the lack of ice cream. It was only in the restaurant for lunch and dinner, not on the beach, and by the pool 4 euros😱 1 piece
Not bad, great restaurant, good cuisine. A varied selection of dishes, lots of vegetables, fruits, oriental sweets. Decent local wine, good beer. A beautiful beach surrounded by pine trees. Clear sea, great views. The rooms are tired and rarely cleaned. Half of the rooms overlook the driveway to the neighboring village (according to the documents, this is garden view) . There is a swimming pool, a good spa. Entertainment for 3. In general, I recommend it to those who like beach holidays outside the city
A wonderful place, gorgeous views, but you need to keep in mind that you will not be able to enjoy the panoramic views of the open sea. Sunbeds need to be occupied early to enjoy the sun after 16.00 to take places on the pier, in other places there is shade. The rooms are not cleaned very well, but it is probably not only in this hotel. The food is good, you can always find empty seats in the restaurant. We lived in an additional building on the 3rd floor, the view from the 4th floor will be better. The side view from the main building is worse, and the rooms are smaller. But this is at everyone's discretion.
I liked the hotel, the beach is small, but this is a problem along its coast. The food was excellent, the show was on every day. The rooms are large and decent. The hotel is located in a pine park, you will need to drive to Marmaris.
The location is excellent, the area is green. The rooms in the building are large, free, cleaning every day. Administrator Ilya is above all praise. The rest of the staff is not Russian-speaking. The animation limps on both legs. Food will not stay hungry, there is no variety. In general, I liked the rest.
Overall, I liked the hotel. I have been to both luxury hotels (once upon a time the Egyptian Hilton was gorgeous) and frankly poor hotels (almost any in Hammamet), there is something to compare.
It is not a long drive from the Dalaman airport, with a traditional stop at the highway store a little over an hour. Basically, everyone went out in the second-line hotels on the mountain, or in the city itself in 4 rooms, in this hotel I went out alone.
Hence the first disadvantage- I didn't meet a single person here at all, so that I arrived right from Moscow. There are Russian speakers who live in the CIS, moved to Germany or Latvia and live there. As a result
, the staff and even the reception do not understand a damn thing in Russian. English, please, at least I could explain everything to them that way.
CHECK-IN HERE OF SOME KIND AT 15 O'CLOCK.
This immediately spoils the impression, I am used to the fact that in Turkey they often settle in the fives ahead of time, I arrived at 11 am and .... politely showing me to the sofa in the corridor, they asked me to wait. All the times that I came up, even the time when I came up at 14:45, I explained that I was only 1 person, there were no other arrivals, that I had not slept all night and wanted to rest and change clothes (the heat is 34 degrees for a minute), it was useless. The room is not ready, we will call you. So at 15 o'clock they called. The eviction is at 12, they understand that.
the room was given in the main building near the entrance with Windows facing the road. From this very road there is noise, the screams of Turks, the noise of buses. And on Sports and Youth Day (a holiday in Turkey, Ataturk Day), there were screams and cars with music shouting and bludgeoning around the clock. But on other days you can sleep with a closed balcony.
Also, as usual, cardboard walls, you can hear how the neighbors turn on the water, listen to music. And of course, these fuckers have not gone anywhere ... who at 6 a.m., or after a disco at 3 a.m. go out into the corridor and start yelling, children run along the corridor. Germans or British are not important.
someone had windows facing the sea, and a rooster crowed there every morning at 5 a.m. Someone has a standard bungalow instead of a room, from which you still need to walk to the dining room.
Meal...not that there is none, it is different, but it is the same every day. All the same desserts of the same type, all the same powdered drinks in vending machines. But you can take a glass of soda to choose from, you want a Coke, you want a fanta. Sometimes they grill something delicious, then liver, then fish, then turkey. KFC-type chicken in breadcrumbs. In a word, you will not get excited, but you will not stay hungry either.
Animation...Well, she's by the pool, but being there during the day is suicide, at least in June. You will play darts on the pool, and you will wake up from the heat. In the evening, or just music is playing, and sit and drink....diluted swill that will turn you inside out later.....If you can find another place... either live music for about an hour, or dancing. And where is the tanura dance with a skirt? Where's the fire show? Where are the acrobats? Well, the standard set of any Turkish five.... but it suits foreigners, and ours are almost not there.
The beach consists of two piers in the sea and a concrete strip with sun beds. Yes, the tradition of taking sunbeds with towels at 6 a.m. to come to the sea by 11 o'clock has not gone away. Come and stomp until you find at least 1 free one. On the concrete, the sun only shines in the morning until about 14 o'clock. Then everything is immersed in a solid shadow from the mountain. Or the Pier, where the sun is until sunset. But it will be a long way to walk to the bar. I note that there is a refrigerator with drinks, there are soda and beer in ice. And yes, everyone goes with ice cream, you think they buy it, and then you only find out that it's free, you can take as much as you want in the refrigerator yourself. There are 4 types to choose from, but the twister ends the fastest.
If you buy this hotel is not expensive, it is a very good option, no worse than the vaunted turban next door. But if you pay 280 thousand for this from 1 person for 12 nights (the cheapest room), well, that's it. It does not reach an expensive Doganai-type hotel in Alanya, for a cheap one...It is expensive.
But in general terms, I don't regret my vacation here. There is a very beautiful nature here, the sea air is green, the sea is calm and almost clean (apparently garbage is periodically thrown from boats).
A large group of positively cheerful 45+ women had a rest ... the hotel was chosen meticulously, because the annual October vacation of friends: this is SACRED!!! And here is a story about this vacation:
- we arrived on a night flight of Turkish airlines, we arrived at the hotel by individual transfer at 11 a.m., out of 13 people, before the designated check-in hour, only 2 were checked in. The rooms are all normal, the views are not on the road ;
- the canteen is generally ordinary without miracles (stars for 3, 3+) and unfortunately even without bananas and watermelons (in October) on the fruit table. You get the devices yourself ! Drinks too! That is, the service is the same : 3 stars (My story about the Italian restaurant is below;
- the beach is normal, not small, the water is excellent, the setting is for every taste, but there is a nuance with the sun: in order not to be in the shade after lunch and not freeze, you need to know where to take the sun beds. There are a lot of smart people! And these sunbeds are always occupied right before sunrise. Towels are given out only at the pool from 9 am, and whether it will not be torn, that's how lucky you are!;
- beach bar : water only in cups on tap (not tasty), gin and tonic and tea are not poured (;
- well, finally, a story about our visit to the Italian restaurant of the hotel : the fools knew that they did not need to do this ( but decided to try their luck; studied the menu, went to the menu two salads to choose from: classic caesar (without a painted recipe) and a salad where all the ingredients are indicated ; from hot fish, meat, pasta , pizza, desserts are also two to choose from ... ordered, waiting ... salads were brought: caesar iceberg, two halves of tomato, mayonnaise (etc. Before the classic recipe, there is definitely a lot missing), the second salad was generally shocked - it contained only half of the declared ingredients, on Our question is: how is it, dear ones? We were told, cooked from what we have, of course, we gathered an indignation rally (we are 13 people, 10 of them are cheerful women), gathered all the waiters, chefs and even the receptionist Ilya from the reception, who had to apologize for all the misunderstandings , including a broken glass with a drink right on his feet alone of us . Ilya - respect! The restaurant managers - 👎🏻, for all these misunderstandings , they could at least offer to treat us with proseca , well , or at least wine because We don 't trust food ( And they : nothing ! We wondered if the hotel loves its guests and it doesn't need us to come back to them more than once (((;
- entertainment - music on the bar : dancing .
In general: at this time and on this budget, the choice of hotels is great! I think it makes sense to look for a large group of positively cheerful 45+ women... the hotel was chosen meticulously, because the annual October vacation of friends: this is SACRED!!! And here is a story about this vacation:
- we arrived on a night flight of Turkish airlines, we arrived at the hotel by individual transfer at 11 a.m., out of 13 people, before the designated check-in hour, only 2 were checked in. The rooms are all normal, the views are not on the road ;

- entertainment - music on the bar : dancing . a hotel with a higher level of service and a menu in the main restaurant!
The trip to this hotel took place in late September - early October 2024, respectively, the description is relevant for this season. In general, I liked the rest, but it will be boring without going to neighboring cities or on excursions!
Positive:
1) Nature! Pine trees, palm trees, huge ficus trees, fresh air, mountains and clear sea. Unfortunately, fires a few years ago battered the area, some mountains are bald (including the one at the foot of which the hotel is located), but along the coast everything has survived.
2) A secluded beach, its advantage is especially felt if you walk towards Marmaris along the promenade - there the beaches of the hotels are adjacent directly to it, which gives you the feeling of a "passageway". Immediately, thanks to the relief, you do not have to watch crowds of tourists relaxing on your sunbed. The "beach" itself is a paved embankment with several descents into the sea, there are showers, a locker room, a toilet, a bar.
3) Cleaning came every day after lunch, changed the bed, towels. Outright dirt was not noticed.
4) The staff is friendly, ready to help. There were no conflicts or misunderstandings during the stay.
5) The choice of food is quite large, there were themed cooking days. But in a week you get bored and you go to pasta on autopilot (so here +-).
Cons and nuances:
1) Officially check-in from 15 o'clock! In fact, we checked in a little earlier, but we still had to sit in the lobby for several hours after an overnight flight (but we were lucky to make it to breakfast, so we would also starve). Is the lobby bar supposed to brighten up this expectation?
2) The hotel is tired, especially the restroom. Something is loose, something is difficult to open. In general, it is tolerable - but this is not what you expect from 5*. In addition to the furniture and rooms in general, you can also note the old towels - some were washed almost to holes.
3) The boring territory of the hotel, it simply does not exist. By coincidence, we managed to visit the territory of our neighbors, Club Marmaris Palace - it's much better there. Therefore, only the mentioned promenade saves - you can walk along it to neighboring settlements.
4) Very much! noisy air conditioner! You can't leave it like this overnight. Although the nights are not too hot at the end of September (~ 18 °), the room was stuffy.
5) Because of the relief, it will not work to lie in the sun all day, after lunch the whole beach goes into partial shade, and by 5 o'clock the sun does not even remain on the pier.
6) Most tourists are foreigners. Offhand, half are British, and then in descending order. Accordingly, it is easier to communicate with the staff in English.
7) It is better to try to sign up for a la carte restaurants right away. Asian and Italian do not work every day and they have the most willing people.
In high season, the estimate might have been lower due to the number of guests and the resulting problems. In general, the reality turned out to be no worse than expected)
Good location between Marmaris and Icmeler. You can walk along the embankment, or take a bus. Quietly. Entering the water from pontoons, or on a large pebble. It's hard with children. In general, I do not advise people with young children and people with musculoskeletal problems. Slides. Rooms with 3 points. The repair is old. At the same time, very decent food.
I am unlikely to return to this hotel. Here the price does not match the quality! And it's definitely not super all inclusive!!!!!!!! And this is definitely not the top five 5️⃣ Although probably not the worst option and many even like it )
Most of all, I was annoyed in the morning by a quest game called "Find yourself a lounger." The number of sunbeds on the beach is less than the number of guests! The hotel is a real battle for a place in the sun! We pay money for our holidays. And in fact we get such discomfort. There are not enough sun beds for everyone, so people also throw their things just like that. Some of them I watched and did not come to the beach at all for the whole day. The strangest thing is that there are no managers who would control all this mess. Nobody cares....
Alcoholic beverages of poor quality . If the wine is white , pink can still be drunk somehow - the rest is cheap swill . There is no sparkling wine, no Aperol, it would seem the most popular cocktail in all good Turkish hotels, respectively, is also missing ((( I bought wine if possible in the super market.
The room stock is old. The hotel has many old rooms and bungalows. We selected a room with a sea view when booking a tour departing from St. Petersburg. Upon arrival, they were given a completely creepy room in a building with a separate entrance (room 2432). Where pets are allowed. The room, dirty with dust from a year ago, complemented the barking of a dog left by the owners in the next room! The building itself is very old, the atmosphere of an old hospital! And in such conditions I had to live for 13 days . I was outraged, we flew all night. We didn't sleep, then we waited 8 hours for check-in and got such a "G". They began to demand a replacement number. Thanks to the Russian-speaking hotel employee Julia, my daughter and I were moved the next day to the main building on the 2nd floor in a more decent room with a dressing room. With side sea view) Therefore, if you refuse in a similar situation, run to her for help!
By the way, many guests have already noticed that in principle you will NOT be accommodated in the hotel before 14.00. Hotel policy, foolishness of principle. The room we received was clearly not freshly washed, the floors were dirty and the dust indicated that no one had been in the room for a long time. But to accommodate guests tired from the road, it would already be an attraction of unprecedented generosity. I think it's just mean. When the rooms are available, and the guests fall asleep on the sofas at the Reception after a night of overheating and change clothes in the toilets. It is much easier to say a cold "No rooms, wait"
The food at the hotel is monotonous. No barbecue, don't dream of a sea of food at all! You can't get into Ala kart restaurants . And there's not much to do there, I'll say. If only Italian . The others have nothing to talk about at all. The restaurant of national cuisine is terribly simple.
There is not much entertainment. In the evenings, karaoke, disco. The kids are so bored here!
I do not recommend massage. We went to Balinese with our daughter . I didn 't like it .
One of the advantages is of course the location! The hotel is located in the green part of the embankment, there is a place to walk in the evening. The hotel has its own beach. The concrete base that everyone writes about is not a disadvantage in my opinion. You get used to it in a day, but your feet are clean (not in the sand). You can go down into the water by a ladder or carefully enter by pebbles. There is also a pier. But it is probably necessary to take a sunbed there at 5 a.m. to run 😭 or behave like impudent Europeans - stupidly leave a cap or a handkerchief or an inflatable circle on the sunbed. It 's a pity that my upbringing doesn 't allow me to behave like this .
Conclusion: this is my first time in Marmaris. The service is definitely not like in good hotels on the Antalya coast, say in Belek. You can't even compare. Everyone knows about it. But nature and the sea are so much more beautiful for me! And there is a place to go, i.e. not only a "hotel" vacation . So choose what is more important to you .
Excellent location, this is one of the advantages. The hotel is old, although the staff is very friendly, but it is either clearly not enough or they do not have the tasks to maintain the declared level of 5 stars. If we talk about stardom, then this is a solid 3. Because there cannot be such cutlery in a restaurant in 5 stars that you will not always find, especially teaspoons). The food is of the same type, of course you will not starve, but again not 5ka..
A good beach, the sunbeds were changed this year, before that there were dead..
In general, if you managed to buy a discounted tour, then yes, and if for the full price, then you can be very disappointed.
We flew back and forth by Aeroflot. They were well fed and treated with wine
We arrived at the Dalaman airport, quickly passed through passport control and received our luggage, and within 30 minutes after landing we were sitting in a minivan.
From Dalaman airport to the hotel, the journey time took about 2 hours – we stopped at 3 more hotels
We were at the hotel by 19:00, quickly received the cards and went to dinner.
We bought a standard room in a bungalow overlooking the garden, and settled us in the main building with a side view of the sea.
Number
The room is large, with a large bathroom and a separate dressing room. A double bed and a sofa. Large balcony
Of the cons:
- noisy air conditioner,
- no hooks for large towels in the bathroom,
- a switch in the headboard and at night the light was constantly turned on with your head,
- there is no shampoo or shower gel in the bathroom – only soap diffusers.
Everything else is just a plus: the hot water pressure is good, there are shower caps, slippers, a kettle and tea/coffee bags, there are no mosquitoes.
Water is replenished every day, if additional water is needed, then there are 1.5 liter bottles in the cupboards in the dining room.
Canteen
The dining room is large – 2 rooms and each serves food, a lot of everything and several types. Everything I've tried is delicious. In the morning, several types of scrambled eggs, sausages, salads, constantly baking something - donuts, pancakes. The food is very good and everything is delicious. In the evening, grilled fish, chicken, lots of snacks and salads, a side dish for any wishes. Sometimes it didn't come to fruit - there was no place in the stomach anymore. But there were always apples of 2 types, grapes of 2 types, quince, tangerines, melon.
In the afternoon, you can have a snack in an Italian restaurant – delicious pizza, French fries, salads, pasta with different sauces.
We also went to Calmik - you can have a snack in the afternoon, and in the evening it already works as an a'la carte restaurant. Salads, burgers, French fries are served here - it's also delicious. They are served on the menu, not a buffet.
gozleme was baked on the beach with different fillings.
We didn't even go to lunch, as there were enough snacks.
Glassware is used everywhere, only on the beach and by the pool there are large paper cups.
Alcohol is poured in large portions. There are vending machines with coffee and juices everywhere. The juices seemed a little diluted with water, but it's still fine.
Alcohol - we drank mostly beer - is very good. I tried the wine - I liked the pink one the most. But red and white are also of good quality, poured from glass bottles. Tea is brewed in teapots. The coffee is decent too.
The service is not intrusive, the staff is friendly.
We had dinner at the Meyhane fish restaurant – a place right at the water's edge. This restaurant is the only one for which you need to pay extra for a'la carte - 10 dollars for 1 person. We decided to go.
From food - 5 types of bread spreads. Cheese, wine for free. Snacks are tiny – 2 baked small rolls with shrimp. You can choose from one of 3 types of fish (perch, salmon, dorado). I've tried salmon – it's quite tasty.
A man and a woman sang for us, and a man played the guitar. They sang French and English ballads.
In general, an interesting place to visit, without any special delicacies and delights.
Territory.
There are several levels, there is a promenade, but it is not noticeable, since it narrows in the area of this hotel and there are few people.
I think if we were settled in a bungalow, then everything would be fine too. The only thing is that they do not have their own access to the sea – you need to go to the main building and go down there, but this, by and large, would not be a problem. The territory is green - pines and palm trees, flowers. There are mountains around, the sea is transparent.
Live music and singing in the evening.
We went from 15.0 to 23.10 - the weather was excellent for the first few days - it was hot +30 in the afternoon, the water +25. Then it decreased slightly - during the day + 27, water + 24. Some days it was windy and there were waves on the sea.
The contingent is different – there are many pensioners. The hotel is away from noisy restaurants and bars. This is rather a plus
Animation is young guys, not intrusive. If there is a desire to have fun, you need to approach them yourself and clarify. We didn't need animation, but we played water polo a few times.
Beach.
There were always places on the beach - no matter how many people came. Perhaps because we were in October and the hotel was not filled to the maximum.
Umbrellas do not save you from the sun, or you need to constantly twist them or rearrange the chaise longue. But just above there is a row of sun beds that are in the shade all the time.
There is no sand, everything is in the concrete floors. You can go down to the sea both from the pontoon, from the pier, and by stone steps.
The beach is quite large, 500 meters. The sun goes behind the mountain from the beach from 14:00 and only on the pier you can still warm up a little.
The sea is cold in places – perhaps there really are underwater springs
What's next.
The hotel is 4 km from the center of Marmaris and 4 km from Icmeler. Since we didn't go anywhere, we walked along the promenade and reached both Marmaris and Icmeler.
Marmaris. It is very noisy, music is playing everywhere, there are many bars. In the center there is a port, near the fortress (paid for visiting – 6 dollars per person). There are beautiful narrow streets in the Greek style around the fortress of the old town. It's interesting to walk around and take beautiful photos.
Next to the main bazaar, where you can buy anything you want.
I liked Icmeler better. More peaceful, very beautiful views from the promenade. The town itself is quiet and peaceful. It's nice to be here.
In general, a very pleasant stay, the hotel is one of the best in the last 2 years. If there is an opportunity, we will definitely come back here.
Great location and clear sea, that's all the advantages, I occupied the sun beds at 6 am, there is only one air-conditioned restaurant and there are no places to find for lunch and dinner, the rooms are tired, the furniture is like from a dumpster, the plumbing is old, all the water from the shower is on the floor, the hotel is old, like Sovdepovsky
A great hotel, we rested from 7.10 to 12.10, we liked everything, and the food, including a lot of different things. There is a cool embankment, you can go for a walk in the evening, music every evening.
We settled in a newly renovated bungalow with a sea view . By the way, the sea was perfect. My husband and I swam for hours, enjoying the crystal water. The food is varied, but we've seen better. The entertainment is built for one week. The second one was no longer interesting. The service is perfect. We felt like VIP people. The location is excellent- the sea is underfoot, the bus stop is 10 minutes away. A 40-minute walk with pleasure to Marmaris, 30 minutes to Icmeler. I definitely recommend it👍
Satisfied.
The rooms in the bungalows are average.
It is better to pay extra in the main building. Food - you will not stay hungry, but without frills. There is a certain difficulty with sun beds) it is better to get up in the morning and take a seat. The general atmosphere is for those who like to walk.
An excellent hotel for a family holiday, which is located in the wonderful bay of Marmaris. Very diverse cuisine, food for every taste, including children's and diet menus, the quality of food is excellent. Diligent staff who quickly responds to the client's requests, but no one understands Russian. Learn English! The beach is comfortable, well thought out, the sea is clean, transparent, the entrance from the pier, the stones. Amazing tortillas are baked on the beach. I recommend trying it. The rooms are cleaned daily, quickly, efficiently. Linen and towels were changed in a timely manner. The room has soap and shower gel dispensers, of good quality.
The only drawback is that I think the neighbors are very audible in bungalow-type rooms, because not everyone knows how to behave themselves. I recommend the hotel, I would like to come here again.
Julia is just great!I have to occupy a sunbed, I saw how in the morning at 5.30 a worker occupied sun beds at the request, breakfast was eggs of different styles, and sausage with sausages, from fruits -oranges, tangerines, watermelon, plum, melon, apples.Lunch and dinner were excellent, the room was cleaned normally, only water was given to the bar.Well done at the reception, the Internet does not work on the beach.In general, you will not be hungry, the sea is clean, the attitude of the staff is kind
It takes 1.5 hours by taxi from the airport to the hotel.We arrived at the hotel around 20.00.the room was provided, but not the one we ordered.They showed the second one, but it was so dead that we immediately refused.In the end, we went to dinner.After dinner, we went to look at the room again, the room on the ground floor was not cleaned (black hair was floating in the shower)A cleaner was called for cleaning.Well, it seems that everything can be relaxed, but that was not the case.We decided to go out on the balcony, and there is a concrete wall in front of the balcony at a distance of one meter.In the morning we went to sort out the room again.As a result, they settled on the fourth floor with a view of the sea and the road. Of the advantages - the location of the hotel is beautiful, surrounded by pine and palm trees, there is a promenade to Marmaris and Ichmelerai, of course, the sea.All hotels are mostly Russian and Polish.Sun beds should be occupied until 7 a.m.I would not go to this hotel again
This is the third time we are staying at this hotel. The best value for money - we have lived in Turkey for a year and a half in an active mode - we have been to many regions, but we always return to this hotel for rest and relaxation. The food is excellent, the staff is always polite, the rooms are very comfortable (perhaps not the newest foundation, but definitely cozy and clean), excellent territory and just 100/100 location.
Thanks! We love you with all our heart
A wonderful place, we are very glad that we chose it. The beach area is beyond praise. Stunning views of the bay and islands. Clear sea, almost always calm. Swimming is a pleasure. Pleasant locations, "Coco bar" (on the beach next to the fish restaurant) liked the service and a special relaxing atmosphere.
In general, this is a place where you want to return.
Check-in yesterday 07.10.2024. This is not 5*, maximum 3*, and they are recruited due to a large green area. The hotel consists of a main building resembling a hut, and numerous bungalows with cardboard walls and shabby dark brown furniture, photo attached. The big disadvantage of the hotel is, in my opinion, the lack of a sandy beach: only a narrow strip of tiles with sun loungers in three rows, as they say, heel to heel. The entrance is equipped with metal handrails like in a swimming pool, well, this is so, from the habit. The food is normal, but it haunts the feeling of a dining room. The animation screams until 12 at night. In general, the hotel is of a low level, I'm sorry that we arrived, we will try to change it with an additional payment through the Tour Operator.
This is the most lame five I've ever been in. The most important thing for me is not even that, the hotel is old and smelly, there is no feeling of the sea,,,, !!! How do you swim in a lake, and the water is kind of stagnant, it smells like mud, the beach is just one name, a narrow concrete strip, I do not recommend the word at all.... They write about the healthy air of the pines. It is not felt here. The only advantage here is the dry climate, there is no humidity like on the Antalya coast.
A great hotel with good service for a relaxing holiday. Lots of different food. It is located between the two cities of Marmaris and Icmeler, which can be reached by walking along the promenade.
A great, cozy and wonderful hotel with stunning nature, air, sea and food.
The rooms are a little "tired", but nature and the calm family atmosphere of the hotel compensate for everything.
Not a bad hotel, but with its own nuances. Of the advantages: not very far from the Dalaman airport 1.5 hours. Beautiful territory, though small. A huge long embankment from Marmaris to Oludeniz (several kilometers), which connects all the hotels on the coast. There are a lot of cafes, restaurants, hookah bars, water entertainment stations, etc. If you want to walk, if you want to run, if you want to ride a bike. Very beautiful nature: the bay and the purest water. Of the minuses: the hotel is tired. It consists of a central building and a bungalow. Of the 200 bungalows, only 6 have been renovated. In all the photos to the hotel, of course, only they are. There is no beach, there is a concrete platform with a descent into the sea. For small children there is an entrance 3 meters wide:(there is no sand. The food is good, but you can't call it great either. Everything is quite monotonous. That's what's delicious, so it's desserts. I will not dissemble here. There is only one pool and it is very small for such a hotel. And the most important disadvantage: it is impossible to sleep. Animation screams until one, two in the morning. Closed windows don't help. This is the first time I've seen this.
Positive: there is a lot of greenery of pine and palm trees, as if you are in the forest. Bungalow for three. The staff is friendly. The menu in the restaurant is varied.
a very tired hotel.... I don't recommend it at all.... food is disgusting.... there are many options nearby cheaper and better..... I moved to a nearby hotel, although it was paid for here.
A nice hotel, I lived for 2 weeks, I advise you. The choice of food is large and delicious.
One disadvantage is that the slides are small, the pools are dirty. Pros-the sea is ~clean~
Nadezhda, good afternoon. Thank you very much. The rest is just great. I really liked Marmaris. There is something to see and where to go in the evening. I liked the hotel very much too. A very large area, a lot of everything. Slides, pools, sea. We didn't even have time to look at everything there. And the sea view is just a fairy tale, I have never regretted that I chose just such a room. And special thanks for the private transfer. By the way, he saved us from communicating with local guides. We forgot about them at all, they then left us a letter so that we would send them a voucher)))))
A very nice hotel. This is not the first time we have rested in it. Cleanliness, friendly staff, great location, wonderful beach. Very tasty and plentiful food, a good selection of drinks. There is a large enough parking for cars, but it is not always possible to park a car.
Very beautiful territory, clean sea. Competent organization on the beach, in the main restaurant, is made so that there is no congestion of people. The food is good, once a week is a belly feast, the rest of the days you will not stay hungry. For alcohol, I drank only white wine. Ordinary young.
The furniture in the rooms ... a little more and it will be old, but the mattresses are high-quality elastic.
A bungalow was booked , they settled in a room of a cheaper category ,dirty , smelly , after the road at 12 o'clock they no longer had the strength to change the room , changed it the next day , and so they did with all tourists , settled in a room of a lower category , the food is average ,the cleaning is just bad , they change towels and that 's it , They don't corresponds to 5 stars , maximum 3 stars
I was in Labrand in October 2024. The hotel changed hands and all this affected the staff and the menu.
It's worse than last year.I hope that everything will get better with the new owners. The place and the sea are simply magnificent.
We purchased a trip through the Intourist. From May 05 to May 12 bungalows. When choosing a flight, Azur air was a priority with a full 7 days of arrival and a late departure. In the process, everything was changed. Flying the disgusting Southwind. The airport of arrival was miraculously measured for Antalya instead of Dalaman, we arrived at the hotel on May 06 at 05.30. Tired of saying nothing. We settled into a standard room in the main building with a view of a hill with trees. The room was not cleaned after the previous guests. Only the bed linen was changed. There are dirty slippers and personal belongings under the beds. It was not pleasant to be there. It didn't work out to rest after the road (our journey from Moscow took 12!!!! Hours, "thanks" to the intourist and the south wind). After a long explanation at the reception with the English-speaking staff, the situation was saved by the reception manager Ilya (thank you very much). We were given a clean, small room in a bungalow with a wonderful view of the sea.
The hotel itself has a large, beautiful, green area, with a fairly long coastline. The food is delicious and quite varied. Everything was fine with us. They drank their own alcohol, so there are no comments. Towels are both beach towels and room standards. Entertainment program every day. The location is great. There is a place to walk. We walked to Marmaris and Icmeler. The location and the territory are ideal for us. The nuances of cleaning, but you can work with it))) I recommend it for a visit
I'm resting now. I live in building 2. The room is large with a loggia. The furniture is not very new, but it is clean. There is a door to the next room, everything is audible. But for now, the neighbors are quiet. The food is not bad, especially stews and vegetables. Fruits are mostly tasteless or unripe.
There is one significant defect. The shower floor is incorrectly laid out in the room. The slope is in the opposite direction. The water spreads over the floor and flows into the room. I asked for a mop. When I wash, I periodically drain the water. And this is from the day the hotel was built. Work for the tiler for a couple of hours. I did not change the room, the view from the window is beautiful, on the sea. The city and the port are visible.
Everything else is fine. Quiet, fresh air. The hotel corresponds to the money that was paid. Special thanks to Julia. She is always helpful and very friendly.
