Staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Food and drink OK for the price of the hotel. Hotel kept very clean and rooms cleaned everyday with fresh towels and water left in your room. Safe kept on top of fridge in room which got very warm. Omelettes freshly cooked in the morning and were great, also the soup at lunch and evening meal was so tasty. Coffee available all day and night as reception had a machine by the lift. Set on a backstreet so very quiet. As you can see the pool is small and that is where the evening entertainment is where you can also see the tables and chairs outside the restaurant so that is the only place you can sit in the evening so most people ate out there so had a table for the evening. There is no indoor bar or evening entertainment so as October you need to take a few cardigans to keep the chill off. Entertainment was Bingo, scratch football, Turkish dancing, there was Miss Pasa Bey etc, the entertainment starts and 9 and ends at 10 which Chico the entertainment person is so funny and joyful, he played nice music throughout the day and was very friendly and funny. Harbour, Bazaaar and beach 10 min walk down the road. This is a relaxing holiday not a party holiday. Pool bar opens at 10 and closes at midnight, it is also open while they are cleaning the pool area at 6pm everyday to keep spotless. Many thanks to all the staff and Chico for a lovely holiday.

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.

“Pasabey”

Hotel dated but clean. Rooms small and bed very small but not as small as the balcony.

Hotel dated but clean. Rooms small and bed very small but not as small as the balcony. For 2 people to sit out you would need to bring the table and 1 chairs inside to let the 1st person out, then but the furniture back out for the 2nd person to get out. Food was just ok. Plenty of salads but majority of 'hot' food was only warm. Fresh eggs/omelette in mornings which was probably my favorite thing. Brussel sprouts for breakfast, lunch and dinner in various styles. Efes beer was good but spirits/cocktails not great. Pool cold. We had massage/Turkish bath which was nice although waiting area around indoor pool was a bit chilly after the bath. And strange to have to wash off own mud face masks? Price was ok though. Hotel/bar/pool area always clean but would imagine it would be a nightmare in peak season as limited space for beds/seating. Entertainment was low key but Chico was fun and engaging with everyone. Staff pleasant but Chico makes every effort to engage with all the guests. Would we return? No, but we met people that had been going there for years. I'm my opinion, there are much nicer places to stay. Could be so much better with little tweaks here and there. Set in a very quiet area so lovely and peaceful at night time.

Sunbeds - don't expect to have any personal space as they are crammed together and not enough. They were comfortable with large parasols. Drinks - the usual for a budget all inclusive hotel. A few cocktails not pre made but not good either. Gin was fine but the tonic water was awful. No sparking wine. Restaurant - Ice cream for a limited time. Just don't understand this at all. We usually missed it as we eat late. Didn't like the food apart from a few dishes. There was of Turkey on the menu day after day. Cereals - the cereal station was a joke. A tiny area with the contraptions that resulted in cereal everywhere but in your bowl. Plenty of big bowls with coloured sauces in you could get rid of these and have a proper cereal area. Service in the restaurant - getting a drink with your meal , occasionally you had to wait ages or go outside to the pool bar and get your own. Wine was in a tiny glass and if you wanted a 2nd one good luck with that. Water - bottles left in room daily and also in a fridge to grab if you wanted one in the restaurant. The waiters would usually put bottles on your table at meal times which was excellent in the heat. Entertainment - Chico and his team do a good job day and night. The booked evening entertainment is on a short time and only half the guests can see as of the seating area being in a L shape at the pool side. Rooms - beds were very comfortable and the pillows one of the best I've experienced. We moved rooms and in our 2nd room we had a tiny wardrobe which was useless . Not enough space everything was crammed together and no drop. The fridge was inside which made everything hot inside too. Reception - our check in was good late at night though no food or snack was provided. We requested a room move the next morning which was dealt with swiftly. The staff member was so lovely and friendly giving us pointers about the hot sun to protect our skin. He was an older man name started with a G. Late room request - you don't find out until after breakfast on the day you leave which is cutting it fine. Most of the staff were nice and friendly which is always nice.
