“Not my type of hotel”

This hotel deserves top marks if you like this type of hotel. However I prefer somewhere with more space around the pool and a decent view from the balcony with comfortable chairs to relax and some traditional charm which this hotel has none of.

This hotel deserves top marks if you like this type of hotel. However I prefer somewhere with more space around the pool and a decent view from the balcony with comfortable chairs to relax and some traditional charm which this hotel has none of. It’s ultra modern and what I’d expect from a city break hotel. That said the choice of food is excellent and the staff are a great bunch of warm friendly people. In fact this hotel is faultless. I am glad I stayed there for the experience and enjoyed all the shopping for bargains. All the shops price their goods in pounds which makes shopping very easy. It was our first trip to Turkey and we will definitely return but will find a hotel with more space around the pool in a quieter location. Would I recommend this hotel. The answer has to be yes if you want something very modern.

“Exceeds expectations…”

We booked as a last minute break and our expectations were quite low but we have been blown away by the hotel as we are at the half way stage of our two week stay.

We booked as a last minute break and our expectations were quite low but we have been blown away by the hotel as we are at the half way stage of our two week stay. The only observations (not complaint..) I can make at this stage are as follows 1. Negotiate with your tour operators to include the TV and Safe as part of the deal - it’s would be a small increase in holiday price if all rooms had these facilities included rather than charged as extras. 2. The choices are minimal for someone looking at gluten free options - not that I have starved but struggling to find variety - perhaps having a separate gluten free section ? 3. Consider having some top shelves liquors that your guests can pay extra for - the local offerings are okay but sometimes it’s nice to have the option to pay a premium for better cocktails. I am sure the next 7 days will be great Thanks to all the staff for a great holiday so far…

Very good very polite . Very good. but one time we got to the hotel very late and the man at the checking was not very nice. The man was quite a big man .and very rude. But all the over time was great The food was very nice. But not in november. The food was very cold and tasteless. The chef was not helpfully at all. The entertainment was a bit boring Same thing. The drifters was great .when we go for food the man at the door see us in .I cant say anything bad about this man. He was very happy made everyone laugh and he would go out off his way to help in anyway.hes name is Mesut. Hope i got his name right. With out this man I am sure you would have a lot of complaints about chef. The cleaners was very nice and did a great job.me and my family have been to this hotel about 4 time.

“A bit disappointing to be honest…..”

Our 1st visit to Marmaris in 16 years and it has changed quite a bit. Lots of fake shops but that’s just what you get I expect. We stayed at Lalila Blue Suites.

Our 1st visit to Marmaris in 16 years and it has changed quite a bit. Lots of fake shops but that’s just what you get I expect. We stayed at Lalila Blue Suites. Hotel is very clean with nice reception area. Rooms very small. Our room had a nice view of the pool. On arrival at 3 in the morning we had to call room service as the curtains were hanging off the window. Housekeeping should have noticed this when preparing the room. Bathroom had no ventilation, towels of very poor quality and often threadbare. This was the same for pool towels. Very little worktop space for toiletries for 2 people. No face flannels provided. Shower was good with shower gel and shampoo provided. 2 very small wardrobes with no cupboards or drawers. Only 2 sockets which were located next to the television and none near the bedside area. Fridge stocked with two bottles of water per day. Bed quite comfy. Safety deposit box, tv in room and Wi-Fi were charged as extras. Free Wi-Fi only in communal areas. Restaurant was nicely laid out and staff were pleasant. Food was very repetitive and often cold. When dishes ran out they were often not replenished. The juices were the worst I’ve ever tasted….watered down. Only 1 coffee machine as the other broke and was never repaired. We enquired if they had gluten free bread and were told yes. What was brought out was a disgrace. The slice offered had been broken in the bag into about 6 small pieces and was as hard as croutons…inedible actually. Salads were good as were deserts. Fruit selection very basic with only apples, oranges, rock hard melon and some grapes. No bananas. There was only a 2 hour dinner window which was 1900-2100 and dishes removed before that time and lights put out bang on 2100 with staff asking you to leave the dining room. Bar staff inexperienced in preparing drinks. For example very often no lemons for drinks and they said they had run out. Hello….call the kitchen for more. Lids left off the large tonic bottle causing the drinks to be flat. The hotel advertises a section of private beach with sun beds. This is true, but said beach is a disgrace. Very filthy and littered. Entertainment was of a good standard but not long enough. We would probably not return to this hotel again as there are hotels of a much better standard available.
