What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Guests generally enjoyed their stay, praising the resort's excellent location, cleanliness, and friendly staff who go the extra mile. The entertainment and multiple pools were highlights, making it a great spot for families. However, some found the food variety repetitive and certain dishes lacking flavor, with the Italian restaurant being a particular disappointment for some.
"Overall enjoyed our 1 week stay at the hotel
Rooms
We were in a bungalow - rooms are decently sized and the shower was great.
House keeping daily who always left funky towel designs which were great for children to enjoy.
Cleaners spotted we drank loads of water so left us a full crate instead of 1/2 bottles
Air conditioning isn’t fab so be aware if you are booking for peak summer but it was fine for September temperatures
Food
Breakfast is the same everyday - it has a good selection of sweet and savoury items
Lunch is good and almost operates on a 3/4 day rotation with some items returning
Dinner is good, some staples like chips, rice and baked goods are always there for simple eaters with meat and fish options changing
You can eat Italian A la carte for lunch without a reservation - this was incredibly disappointing quality and taste.
Turkish dinner a la carte was lovely!
Some desserts look better than they taste.
Pools
There are 4 pools of different depths and beach area. For mid-Sept there was no sunbed wars and we could still get a space for a group of 4 come midday.
Entertainment
We really enjoyed the entertainment, especially all the acrobatics.
Staff
Yes staff don’t speak great English but I don’t speak Turkish so I didn’t help myself here. The staff do try to help and I always managed to get what I needed in the end so I can’t complain.
General comments
- the plastic consumption is really really high with all the small water bottles and single use plastic cups
- drinks are poured spirit heavy
- location is great, easy walk to İçmeler or easy enough to flag down a hop-on boat to there or Marmaris
- if you do not like children or families in your space, this is not the place for you!"

"Absolutely brilliant place, the staff really can't do enough for you. Very clean, and well presented rooms with a great location. Marmaris 45min walk and icmeler 20 min walk either side of holtel beach. Food had a variety to suit everyone, with a great kids food room and 3 other restaurants. On site shops, gym, spa, hairdressers and even a doctors and jewellery store. Loads of swimming pools to choose from. Really can't recommend this hotel enough. Perfect for family's and kids."
John Stephens
"The location is beautiful and the staff are amazing. The only downfall, and it was a significant one for me, was the food.
I'm not overly fussy, and I know we English often have a particular preference for our food and drinks. However, the flavors were bland, and some of the meals just looked unappetising. Again, this might just be my preference, but it is what is stopping me from returning. The standalone Italian restaurant was lovely, and the desserts looked and tasted fantastic.
There were lots of pools and nightly entertainment. We booked the spa and had a couples massage—they definitely knew what they were doing!
Lots of wild cats and only a short walk to the nearest town."
