I returned to the apartments after a wonderful stay last September to find nothing had changed the apartments were exactly as I had left them in pristeen condition.
Point to note: keep away from the Cousins bar across the road from Portabello Hotel they are rip off merchants. buy one get one free is not what is seems when you raise the price to cover the free drink. you have been warned.
Hassan and Senol were there to keep an eye on everything as usual, the bar staff now led by adnan, feridun are there to ensure every need is taken care off.
Murat is still whirling about doing anything and everything that requires doing. The girls are still keeping the rooms spotless and even had time to indulge in a little turkish dancing with me ( nice for me )
All in all we were joined this time by my 2 sister inlaws and my brother in law who enjoyed them selves as well.
Had a good scrub session in the Turkish Hamman good value
If your looking for a good english breakfast at the top end of Marmaris try the Serenity Apartments

This has to be the best kept secret in the holiday world. I have never been looked after so well, any sign of rowdiness is quickly dealt with or unruly guests are quickly moved off the grounds.
The food is very good, and the all the staff are very kind and helpful. I have to admire the cleaners who are on the move from dawn till dusk. The pool is cleaned daily and after 2000hrs the pool is disinfected overnight.
The grounds are well maintained by Murat who is like a whirling derbisher on his own never resting. The hotel has safety boxes for hire and are in full view of reception where the ever watchful eye of Senol or Hassan or one of the receptionist are always available to help with your quieries. I will be arriving back at Club Likya on May 26th for another fortnight of excellent service. The rooms can hold up to 4 person as there is a fold down bed settee in the front room, the kitchen is adequate and all items for cooking are supplied. The bar never closes as long as your standing ( not falling down ) and the long hours the bar staff put in are incredible. even at 0500 hrs I have seen people being served, the bar doesnt only serve alchol but a large variety of soft drinks.
The Club Likya is situated about 15 minutes walk ( dont do it on a hot afternoon ) from the main street but a dolmus runs past the through road ever 10 to 15 minutes and costs next to nothing to travel on. ( take note all british bus private operators u could learn a lot from these dolmus operatives )
Icmeler is about 30 to 40 minutes away by dolmus and is well worth a good look, the food in the Venice restraunt ( locanta ) is very good and the boys will look after you very well. Also if you are looking for that special some thing for your girl friend wife or partner try Firuze jewlery on the main street on the way into marmaris both Sona and Murat will look after you and you will be suprised at the evaluation of the piece when you get back to home.
Other things to do Scuba Diving is brilliant and I completed the 4 day course whilst there , dont be afraid its well worth the effort. Boat trips round the bay another nice way to see the coastline and visit Turuc a small village named after orange trees although u can get a dolmus to the village from outside tansas in the town centre.
Market days are well worth a look, although since they have moved Marmaris market into the new building it has become impossible to see or buy anything and the place is so hot and over crowded,
Icmeler market is still out doors and if you go either go early or late to miss the crowds and of course dont forget to haggle a little u do get to enjoy the banter with the stall holders.
If you suffer from bad tummies while u are there as I did when i first visited then I discovered Iran its a turkish yogurt drink slightly salted you can buy this in any of the supermarkets drink it is settles your tummy I now drink at least 2 glasses a day while im over there.
Tesekkur ederim

This was our first visit to Turkey. The staff, accommodation and location of the Club Likya Apartments could not have made it more memorable and enjoyable if they had tried.
I would like to talk about the apartments first. We had four adults staying in our apartment. There was plenty room (could do with more wardrobe space though!). The apartments were clean and fresh.
The grounds and pool area were cleaned every day. The staff were fantastic!! Everyone was very friendly and made you feel welcome.
Marmaris has a lovely harbour area where we found plenty of nice restaurants. The 'Jan Di Wit' Restaurant was our favourite.
The only thing we did not like, but you get to a point where you just ignore it, was that every restaurant you passed they tried to call you over to get you to use their restaurant. Sometimes if you pass one restaurant and go in to the one next door, when you come out the one you passed will accost you as to why you did not use their restaurant.
But that did not spoil the holiday or the experience of Turkey, Marmaris or the Likya Apartments (who I can't praise enough). We are seriously thinking of going back next year. If we do we will be staying at the Likya Apartments.

We met up with good friends of ours from Singapore at Club Likya in July. It was the ideal place for us to meet up (mid-way between us) and the best holiday we ever had. Our friends (for whom it was a late honeymoon) were in tears leaving. They were returning home two days before us. The hotel is spotless, the cleaners never stopped working and all the staff were wonderful. Jasmine, the receptionist was so gentle and beautiful yet efficient. Senol, the owner, could not do enough to help us including serenading us from the bar as we sunbathed. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. As stated in other reviews there was no problem getting a sunbed despite it being high season. It is ideally situated not too close to Marmaris centre yet close enough to enjoy a leisurely stroll at night. Dolmuses run every few minutes for those who want to venture into the centre. For health reasons I am limited in what I can drink and as the bar did not stock the drinks I require I asked if I could take my own to the pool. Senol had no problem with this which I did discretely for fear of anyone else thinking it was permissable to do the same with drinks which could be purchased from the bar. Someone has said they were told off for taking their own drinks to the pool but we have found this is what happens in most accommodation although in bigger places it is difficult to enforce. There are plenty of other places to eat if you want a change and we found the nearby Cinders restaurant owned by Phyll and Ahmet delicious. Of particular mention was their apple crumble which Martin from Singapore demolished pretty quickly. If you want a large impersonal complex with nightly entertainment and being wakened during the night then Lykia is not for you. If you want somewhere which is just about perfect give it a go. We tried to book again for September but they were booked out. When we tried to book for next year we learned that only private bookings are being taken so we have booked our flights separately and are looking forward to returning and having a ball once more. See you soon Senol!

This was our first trip to Turkey and thanks to the owners and staff at the Club Likya Apartments it will not be our last.
The apartments are spotlessly clean, (a credit to cleaning staff) as is the pool area and surrounding gardens. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
You are able to walk into Marmaris it takes about 10 - 15mins or the bus stops just outside and costs 1 lira.
We would definitely have returned to these apartments, but we are disappointed to learn that they are not being used by Thomson next year.

This was our 6th time to Club Likya, and it wont be our last. These apartments are lovely, spotless, and well maintained, they look as good as the day they were built 10 years ago.
The staff are all friendly, food and drink very reasonably priced. We like the quiet location yet only a 15 minute walk to sea front, bars and restaurants are only a couple of minutes walk away, and music is turned down at midnight, which is nice, because there are a number of residential properties around it.
The owners are lovely people and work very hard and cover 24 hour reception, definitely going back next year.

This was our first time in Marmaris, 2nd time in Turkey.
Club Likya is without doubt the best self catering accommodation that I have stayed in anywhere.
As per the previous reports the accommodation is comfortable and exceptionally clean.
The bar prices are comparable with the surrounding bars as are the food prices from the excellent menu available. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The apartments are far enough away from the main area to allow you to relax at night without being disturbed by the usual boom boom noise associated with like resorts.
However the sea front (bars) is a mere 10 minutes walk away. Dolmus's run all day until around midnight; you can catch one just around the corner and for 1 lira you can travel to the centre of town where bar street is located.
Ill be back.

This has to be the best holiday ever. I have been to Club Likya now 4 times and will keep returning year after year. The apartments are cleaned every day to a high standard and nothing is to much trouble for the people who work there.
I have read reports saying that the owner of these apartments does not help you if you have a problem or complaint.
Well in my opinion the owners always do their best to help you and if you have a problem they sort it out straight away for you the best that they can.
I have also read a complaint that some guests were not allowed to play music in their rooms after coming back from a club at 3am, tell me the name of any hotel/apartment that will allow that? The answer is none! Out of the 4 times I have been to Club Likya I have NEVER had a problem.
I think the key is that if you are considerate to other guests and staffs wishes they will return the favour, and I have seen people treating the place as if it was England, i would recommend that we remember that we are in Turkey and have to respect their culture.
The waiters at Club Likya I think deserve a special mention who have given us a great service over the years are, William and George. William was great as always, always service with a smile, joined in the fun, spent time catching up with us lovely guy as was George although he was not there in summer 2005. Also The Gardener working just as hard as ever, and still joining in all the fun and always manages a smile!
The area around Club Likya is slightly more built up now with a few restaurants and apartments, however the apartments themselves are still the same and still to the same high standard.
I will be returning to Club Likya next year, and if you are thinking of going to Club Likya rest assured you will have a great holiday.

I got back from Club Likya in the early hours of this morning, and to be honest Im glad to be home.
The apartments are cleaned to a high standard and some members of staff, e.g the two owners, Alex and the gardener are very friendly, making you feel welcome. There are many good restaurants in and around the hotel, with their staff also being very friendly.
On the negative side though, William and Cemal who are bar staff at the hotel, have bad manners, don't give you chance to finish your drink/food before they whip your plate/glass away, this is how they got their nicknames "Mr Whippy". On several occasions they tried to over charge people for food and drinks.
At this hotel they have rules that they enforce on some people and not others. There is a rule for everything here, it became a joke towards the end of the holiday. You fear that you're not breathing in the right way here, with the owners watching your every move. We got told off for having a drink of water that we hadn't purchased from the hotel, around the pool area.
So overall, more negatives than positives.

Just back from this wonderful place for the second time this year and I can't speak highly enough.
Every member of staff bends over backwards to accommodate you in any way they can to make your stay so special and enjoyable. The maintenance guy never stops and on BBQ nights he and the Chef, the waitresses and the bar staff all find the energy to entertain everyone with their very energetic dancing. There are certainly no shortage of smiles when you come through reception in the morning from the girl who works there she is a lovely person.
The cleaning staff go that extra step and decorate your bed with petals, it's so lovely you have to take a picture. What a brilliant dancer Tony is who works in the bar and William is a superstar when it comes to singing and smiling. We can''t wait to go back!

Fantastic - Fantastic - Fantastic.
We had a great holiday here. Small and friendly it was exactly what we needed. We would spend days around the beautiful clean pool with its little bar to the side.
No fighting for sunbeds (in August!) - had the same beds every day. Food served at the bar was excellent.
Accommodation was basic however; it was very clean and met all our requirements.
With a fifteen minute walk into Marmaris town centre to hit the nightlife and shops we had the best of both worlds. A nice quiet day and busy night.
We would highly recommend these apartments and intend going back ourselves.

This has to be the best holiday I have ever had and this opinion is formed in the main by my stay at Club Likya.
The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. The pool and complex surrounding areas are maintained to a very high standard. The staff cannot do enough for you and are so friendly.
If you want a busy entertainment filled holiday then Club Likya is not for you. However, if you want a peaceful holiday within a beautifully kept complex with entertainment a couple of nights a week then this has to be the place for you.
I cannot speak highly enough of this place and we shall certainly be going back if not this year then certainly next. Thanks to all at Club Likya for a fantastic holiday.
