We are a young couple who have just returned from a fantastic stay at Orka Lotus Hotel, and we can honestly say we’ve had one of the best hotel holiday experiences we’ve ever had. All of the staff were lovely and worked incredibly hard throughout our stay, but a special shout-out has to go to the entertainment team, especially Dom Dom, Haven, Leah, Imen, Yassin, and Caretta! They genuinely made our holiday and always went out of their way to make sure everyone was having fun. The entertainment team are some of the friendliest, funniest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. There were loads of activities throughout the day, including pool games, challenge games, cocktail-making competitions, table tennis, beach volleyball and gym / pilates style classes on the promenade. There was always something going on, and the entertainment team made everyone feel welcome to join in, whether you wanted to be active or just have a laugh. The evening entertainment was honestly the best we’ve experienced at any hotel. The performers are so talented and the shows felt like something you would normally pay to go and see. Every night was different and gave us something to look forward to. As a young couple, we were initially a little sceptical about whether there would be enough opportunities to stay out later in the evenings. However, we were pleasantly surprised. After the main entertainment finished, there was usually something going on afterwards in the Blue Bar, and the entertainment team often organised nights out with free transport to and from the venue. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to join any of these ourselves, but they always seemed popular and looked like great fun. It’s definitely a positive for younger couples or groups who want a bit of nightlife alongside the all-inclusive experience. A special mention also goes to Icon Beach Tuesdays. This was one of our favourite parts of the holiday. It’s such a fun way to enjoy a beach club atmosphere without having to venture too far from the hotel. The DJ is brilliant, everyone gets up dancing, and the whole event has an amazing atmosphere. The food and drinks were also pretty good. There was always something for us to eat and plenty of variety throughout the day. We often stayed by the snack bar at lunchtime and really enjoyed the pizza there, and the waffles were great too. The cocktails were good with lots of choice, and as iced latte lovers we were very happy that the hotel served iced lattes too! The à la carte restaurants were definitely worth visiting and we enjoyed those the most. The buffet could be a little hectic at busy times, but that’s to be expected during peak season. The only real negative we found was that the bathroom drain often had quite a strong smell, which we would usually notice when walking into the room. It wasn’t enough to spoil our holiday, but it was the one issue we experienced during our stay. Sunbeds do get reserved quite early at the main pool and beach, but if you’re an early riser you’ll have no issues at all. Overall, we had an amazing holiday and would happily recommend Orka Lotus Hotel, especially to young couples looking for a fun all-inclusive holiday with great entertainment. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special. <3

“The last time we will visit”

3rd and last time of coming here. The hotel is full of rude and angry Russians that think it’s ok to reserve all the sunbeds at 5am, the staff know this happens but they won’t do anything about it “ as Turkey as Russia are allies and best customers” ok then, so the rest of the world isn’t catered … more

3rd and last time of coming here. The hotel is full of rude and angry Russians that think it’s ok to reserve all the sunbeds at 5am, the staff know this happens but they won’t do anything about it “ as Turkey as Russia are allies and best customers” ok then, so the rest of the world isn’t catered for?! The sunloungers in the water park are broken as are the tables ( if you can get one) , so much so we had to hire sunbeds on icon beach which is part of the hotel - at a minimum spend of £80!!! Icon is well worth a visit though for a treat, staff also work at the hotel and know exactly why we are there, food and drinks. So much nicer !! Orka- no floats to use in water park as they had mainly popped, food was repetitive and meat so dry. A shoe would have tasted nicer!! Drinks are Massively watered down. Creepy men in icemeler that followed me and my 15 year old and wouldn’t leave us alone. The room was nice, clean and comfortable and minibar was decent. Location wise is a Small drive from marmaris or icmeler town , or you can walk 15-20’mins .music was so loud until about 3-4am we couldn’t sleep Fri/sat. Honestly there are much better places to stay. Shame as we loved it here before but won’t return
