" never again "
Submitted By: stacey63
Felt I must write about the epic apartments in marmaris....my first and I must say my very last time to turkey....from the moment you step of the coach at your resort/hotel you are constantly hassled...we ended up constantly telling them we had already eaten..really annoying.
Was not impressed with the pool at the epic...my 8 year old daughter suffered an ear infection as did other members of our party, as a result the doctor who visited us at the hotel advised no swimming for a couple of days, asked where she would have got this from, his response was" probably the pool"... cooley handing me over a bill for 180 tl before jumping back in his mercedes....120 tl for prescription charges...hardly a great start.
the beach at marmaris is not particularly great....stones and shale. never ever would i go back to turkey and certainly not at the epic.

we got back from the Epic this morning. the hotel rooms were cleaned around twice in our two week stay. one member of staff "Josh" was told he couldnt work for a few days for trying to drag a 16 year old girl upstairs to her bedroom and trying to put his hand up her skirt. he then approached me trying to touch my legs and hold my hands and even sneakily toom a photo of me on his mobile phone and told everyone i was his gf! he is very creepy so stay away from him! also another member of staff was constantly asking me for some vodka which i had brought at the shop! very very rude. a woman member of staff who is at the pool bar stares at everyone like a hawk! constantly givin dirty looks like we are scum.
pool area was nice, decent sized pool, also a slide which is fun, self-catering you have to buy your own toilet roll which is appaling.
beach is a 30 minute walk away or a 5 minute taxi ride.
the best place to eat is the "September Bar" which is down the road oposite the epic. the staff there are lovely and food is great.

After reading the reviews about the Epic that say the staff are rude, I think they must have been at a different hotel to me because the staff, pool, bar and resteraunt were brilliant, yes they are more forward with customers than in places such as Spain, but not in a bad way, I thought it was nice that the staff made an effort with the customers. After only a weeks holiday me and the people I was on holiday were sad to the leave the staff of the Epic because we got along well with them. The rooms are quite basic but they were kept clean and our towels and sheets were changed regularly. You must go on the jeep safari which is brilliant for all ages, and also the lazy days boat trip, we bookede with the non ame agency opposite the hotel and got a great deal, highly recommended. The jeep safari cost 25 lira per person, which is brilliant if you say that there is roughly 53p in one lira.

epic apartments are great, from the day we got there the staff couldnt of done more! our room was very basic but very clean and had a lovely view of the mountains. the pool area was clean and nice for the kids and had a balcony where you could sunbathe if you didnt fancy it round the pool which is really nice. we ate at the dream boys restaurant most nights, the food was nice and the staff were great (robbie,jack,mustafa,josh and the others). the beach is just a short walk from the hotel but it isnt a very nice beach, we were recomended to go to icmeler beach because marmaris beach is so tiny and disgusting! overall the holiday was really good and relaxing, staff are very friendly and the sun is just so hot so beware! the town is great, everything was just great ! definetly going to go back next year, only got back yesterday and miss it so much!
Advice: get yourself away its great
Activities: mad boys restaurant was great and cihan turk in the town

" One bad apple "
Submitted By: turkeysinc
Just got back! I was there with my 14 year old daughter. Hotel and pool area was clean. I had a problem with the main restaurant Dreamboys in as much my daughter had a bit of a crush on one of the waiters so wasn't able to "escape" as much as I would have liked. I didn't enjoy the food there. Maybe its just me but I don't enjoy roast beef, veg and mash after a 45 degree day!! Asking for a salad seemed to insult them and I was sarcastically told to "enjoy my salad". I'm also not a huge drinker so I felt a waste of time and space for them. It gave me time to watch the waiters in action and bottom line is that its all about the money and how much they can squeeze out you, fair enough its a poor country but there is never any excuse for bad manners and rudeness. It really brought it home to me just how contemptious some Turkish people are towards Brits. I am not going into detail of each incident but to summarize my experience, if you like being patronized by people who copy your accent, if you like to chow down to big steaks and chips and guzzle copious amounts of booze every night, all the while nursing the waiters egos you'll have a lovely time.
Advice: Boat trips were stunning

" fab holiday "
Submitted By: anttandgemz
Just got back from Turkey this morning and we miss it already. The room was basic but very comfortable staff was friendly and helpful everyone in the hotel from the pool all the way to the Asda Market :). The best night had to be the foam and pool party night drinks free all night and a dip in the pool and a dinner for £20 what more can u want lol. The food was nice especially the steak yum!! You can get either a taxi or dolmus just outside the hotel to go anywhere which was handy for people who dont know there way around. The beach is a short walk from the hotel but make sure you take loads of water with u as it gets really hot (between jun-aug). If you dont fancy staying in the hotel all the time theres loads of bars restraunts and shops around.
Advice: Its fab and load to do
Activities: restaurants Great Corner and Amore. fav clubs Cream bar and Parkhead bar. Boat trips and Jeep Safari

Submitted By: Miss J King
I thought I should add a comment aswell as Epic seem to have alot of bad reviews! This hotel was great! I will admit that the staff werent too happy if you didnt eat at the Dreamboys restaurant but they werent what you could call rude! far from it actually!
Antonio, Elvis and the picture man (sorry I dont remember his name) were fantastic! The picture man did pester us to get our pics took but the guy was just doing his job! We said no and he was still super nice and friendly towards us!
I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. It was clean and the pool area had a great atmosphere. I was a bit peeved about having to buy the water at the pool bar but I just took my own anyway and I never got caught lol!
If you do here I also recommend the restuarant opposite called Yes Sir. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. We went almost every night.
However I must say that I do prefer Spain to Turkley as you do get hassled ALOT which is very annoying after a couple of days, but the Epic was superb!

Submitted By: sweetlips20
hi all, i have just returned from a 2week holiday in marmaris staying at the epic lovely friendly reception staff upon arrival, air con is £25 a week which we didnt have so we had a walk down the the nearest supermarket and brought a tall standing fan for 19lira which cooled our room down constantly for our 2week stay..we stayed in a studio they are fairy sized but do not have any kitchen utensils in, we was giving a cot for our 18month old daughter which had very large gaps in for her to slide out of which she did indeed! if you buy milk to fill your babies bottles for bedtime etc buy it daily and use it daily as it goes off with the heat its only 3lira for a carton of milk get the green and white carton from the hotel shop as all the rest of there milk tastes like a gob full of salt which wasnt nice, the weather was hitting highest of 39degrees whilst we was there although we did have 2 thunderstorms and 3 powercuts. it took a while to get used to being woken by the generator! i think it was really expensive in marmaris food was anythink from 10lira-25 for a meal and drinks were buy 1 get 1 free on spirits which was like 10lira for a vodka,lime & lemonade for a efes beer it was 4lira but they wernt buy 1 get 1 free the cheapest spirit was 8lira which was vodka & coke i would recommend to have a meal in yes sir(to the left of epic) & parkhead (the irsh/sottish bar/restaurant) down the road from the epic and the full english breakfasts at the corner steak house for 2.50 lira are the best..id advise people to keep some english money to buy there named clothes out there cuz u can get good deals like 5 lacoste t-shirts for a 10a but in lira wuold be about 35! we went on the lazy day boat trip which was really relaxing and justin was so great taking pictures and recording marmaris bay and harbour u can buy the slide show of his pics/recordings after for 30lira which is a great deal for what you get on it,also went on the moonlight cruise which was only 5lira u get dinner included chicken,chips & salad u have a cheesy disco and a ride around the harbour but drinks r really expensive on that its 10lira for scoll beer a big bottle which u get like 3 pints out of! and a local spirit is 9lira soft drinks are 5lira personally i thought it was boring and my daughter cudnt even get out her buggy cuz there was nowhere for her to go which wasnt very nice!nighty entertainment isnt very good you get same things on the same nights karioke robot man turkish dancers bellydancers overall had a nice holiday but i think if i returned to marmaris i would defianatly go all inclusive and stay at club annistacia as its meant to be a top hotel in marmaris and its a lovely looking place to stay, its not as cheap as people say it is over there.. also staff at dreamboys are great with kids but can be a little too over friendly for some people some peapole constantly was taking my daughter out her buggy n started walking round with her then when they had to serve some one just put her down n left her there!at first i didnt mind them being all lovey with my daughter but after a week of it 3times a day got very annoying..

" After reading all the negative... "
Submitted By: Miss Z AMOS
After reading all the negative comments about the Epic I had to write my review as I totally didn't agree.
I recently got back from a holiday in Marmaris and stayed at the Epic and found the hotel and all its staff absolutely fabulous!! couldn't have asked them to be any nicer!! espiecally Anthonio who is fab!!!! and of course Elvis, Thomas and Mustafa!!! and the gentleman who takes the photos aswell!!
Considering the hours they work and the money they recieve I thought they deserve alot more than the reviews they've been getting!!
The hotel itself is a really nice hotel, made much nicer with the staff working there. It is not too far away from the beachfront and is a nice walk down there.
I would definately reccomend this hotel and will be going back to Marmaris in the near future! and if i cant get into this hotel will make sure i nip up to see you all!! thank you for a fablous holiday!! x
