We stayed in this hotel 2 years ago at Easter and had a really great time. The weather at that time…read moreis just perfect. It is a holiday village with loads of facilities that it shares with its sister hotel The Perla next door. You can do everything from tennis, aerobics, pool games, water sports etc. There is a good kids club which my children loved, the entertainment staff in Turkey always seem to be much better than in places like Spain and the Canaries' The rooms were spacious, we had all four of us in one room and it was ok. Most tour operators go here half board but you can purchase all inclusive option if you want which we did and found to be worth it. That said the bars and restaurants that are within easy walking distance were all very reasonably priced. One last thing, have a Turkish bath when you get there it is an experience not to be missed!

We came for a destination wedding. The grounds and location are wonderful…read more The buildings all are pretty nice at first glance and you can tell they have been renovated over the last few years. Our room was lacking in general cleanliness (mold around the shower putty, hair on the bedding, headboard and closet dusty, and it just didn't feel super clean. Also, the rooms don't have an iron and the property doesn't have one to borrow! That is so weird to me. Service was mediocre at best. No one really seemed to care about high levels of hospitality. Once you realize they don't care, I gave up on the expectation and just mentally took away a star from the experience. This is an all-inclusive, but the food and drinks were subpar. Every meal is buffet-style, bland and virtually the same every day. Next to no Turkish food options, outside of hummus once. Most meats were very dry. Eggs during breakfast were great. Overall, breakfasts were the best meal. The pool cafe had nice ice cream. The location is easy to have a walk I to Marmaris (about 3 miles) or a quick walk I to a little neighborhood for pubs, more restaurants, and every knock-off shop you can think of. Most of the knock-offs sell the same things, like purses, shoes, and clothing.) The pubs cater mostly to British tourism and are very average, but are fun if a footie match is on. Best part: all the cats who roam the property. I loved every one of them so much! I don't think I will ever go back to Türkiye. I'm not sure I'd recommend this place, but if you're going for a destination wedding, it's just fine. It does a nice job accommodating children, so that's a plus if you have littles.

This resort was recommended by friends who have stayed here in the past. We needed a place to stay…read morefor one night before embarking our Gulet for a one week journey to the Turkish Coast and Greek Islands. Our flight arrived late and by the time we went through the customs and arrived at the hotel, it was 1:30 am. We checked in, and headed to our room. The first disappointment was that the elevators did not work and we had to climb 3 flights of stairs up. This was especially inconvenient since I have a bad knee and had confirmed that they had elevators After we wen to our room, We left our bags in the room and walked down the stairs again town to grab a bite, since we had been in the road for 20 hours. When returned to the room around 3 am the elevators still did not work. We went up the stairs and tried to open the room with our key but the key which had previously worked stopped working. Tired and sleepy we went to a friends room and called the reception. The reception told us, 3 in the morning , that our son who sleeps in our triple room was over 18 and we had to go downstairs and pay 301tl, $67. I told them we provided them with all of our passports when we checked in , and it was after 3 in the morning and the elevator did not work and would not down and up the stairs again we would work it out in the morning. After a brief discussion i co Vince's the receptionist to come up and bring us a key. The next day we woke up and had breakfast and wen to checkout to leave for our boat trip. They asked for the $67 again. I reminded them that our stay was all included half board, meaning we have paid for breakfast and dinner and all amenities. We spent less than 9 hours in the hotel and only had breakfast. I reminded them that 5 of is with our friends did not have dinner either, just a light breakfast, even though we had paid for it, and we had spent only 9 hours and that their elevators never worked. I also reminded them that the bed they had prepared for my son was not changed and the hotel did not expend any resources and that I had provided his passport when we checked in, in fact he was right in front of the reception desk when we checked in. I said that $67 for the breakfast he had was too much, but no matter how much I explained , they did not budge and would not check us out until I paid the $67 even though all 5 of us never had any dinner we had paid for. Overall a disappointing experience. It seems that Marti Resort has been run down because of mismanagement, it did definitely not look like. 5 start resort as they advertise. Maximum 2 stars. Disappointing to see such a staple go to shambles. They are trying to nickel and dime their customers. There was couple right in front of me , arguing at the reception about the dilapidated status of their bathroom, and also that they were charged for drinks even though they had full board which is all inclusive. It's a shame that this famous resort has been run down because of bad management. I will not stay there nor recommend it. To our second disappointment, the room key did not work which had earlier worked. Three beds were set up as requested. We went to sleep. In the morning we woke up with my wife and my son and we

Whatcha gonna do if youve gotten all dirty…read more and you really need a bath Get Hamam on it, Oh, Get Hamam on it! I found this authentic Turkish Bath in Old Town Fethiye which is just a few steps from the marina. The Hamam is an beautiful old building that really utilizes natural lighting and makes one think of times long gone. They had a special price of 35 TL for the sauna and traditional scrub and I added on a hour long massage for another 50 TL. I didn't know what to expect as this was my first experience in a Turkish bath but I was definitely wowed by the experience. I was ushered into a tiny changing room to put on a towel and you can choose to fully undress or like myself just opt to wear your swimming suit bottoms and the towel they give you. Then you can relax in an atrium type room with many little side rooms while a sauna makes you sweat out your past transgressions. There is a large island in the middle of the room where strong men are scrubbing the heck out of you and cover your body in sudsy olive oil bubbles. I came out pink and clean. After I had a pressure point massage where I was at a few points tempted to cry. I made it through with most of my dignity though and I felt like a new woman after- definitely a recommended experience.
