Mehtap Hotel

Just returned from Marmaris at the Methap Hotel. Enjoyed our stay there myself and my two sons aged 11 and 8. Hotel is perfectly situated for beach in front, Marmaris town/harbour to the left and waterpark and Icmeler to the right.
Would have Enjoyed my time there More with a bit more help from hotel staff, I and numerous other families had the task of arguing with hotel staff/management to secure the sleeping arrangements we all had booked and paid for. Plenty of families were given two single beds to sleep on and told to push them together to sleep two adults and one child or in my case one adult and two children. Don’t be short changed you’ve paid for it so insist on one bed per person.
Drinks and meals at the hotels two bars and restaurants are not cheap and walk a few yards in either direction to find more choice at a better price look before you leap lots to choose from. air conditioning broke twice whilst there took 6 complaints and five days to resolve and really needed it as it averaged between 100F and 110F in August.
Power supply went off briefly twice, toilet broke once reported twice took two days to fix, reported broken light bulb in bathroom twice still not replaced after three days. Worst point for families is I booked the Mehtap for the children’s pool and beachfront location but to my horror the children’s pool has been filled in leaving one pool with no shallow end (approx 5.5ft deep) Whilst staying there a waiter thought it would be funny to push my 8 year old son in the pool who cannot swim, I didn’t laugh!
The beach is only yards away from the hotel and is lovely but alas not sandy but stony and a but uncomfortable on your feet. Hotel was really clean and well located. Breakfast is Turkish and didn’t like (olives, bread, cheese etc) so had breakfast at Kaplans every morning (turn right out of hotel and right again) Full English for 2 pounds. Air conditioning costs approx 45 pounds for two weeks and safety deposit box cost approx 10 pounds for two weeks. Beware not all rooms have excellent sea views as stated in holiday brochures and some rooms overlook next hotels kitchen and rubble so don’t be conned.
To summarise nice hotel if you get the right room and service , don’t put up with second best and don’t accept any less than you have paid for, but most of all enjoy the location and wonderful views when you wake of a morning (sea view). Pool now has a sliding cover which doubles as a stage for evening entertainment, you will be hassled to vacate pool at approx 4.30pm which in my opinion in the very hot weather is too early and will leave you frustrated with the surrounding hotel pools left uncovered all night.
I stayed there for two weeks and every night found somewhere different to eat and drink more cheaply. A bottle of water at the poolside 1.09 but fifty yards away 0.22 pounds at the corner shop. Be wise don’t be ripped off, Enjoy your holiday!

June of this year we stayed at the Mehtap hotel. Being a party of seven, we were cautious of how the hotel would be as it can sometimes be difficult to accommodate such a big group of people, especially as the ages within our family ranged from five to fifty five years.
Fortunately were all extremely pleased with the standards of not just the hotel but the personnel of the staff. We were overjoyed to find two English girls working in the hotel who both helped us with anything we needed and made our holiday that little bit more enjoyable.
Situated outside the hotel are two restaurants. one international and one Chinese restaurant serving lovely food and providing an excellent service throughout the day. (Paul - excellent head waiter!!!). The prices were very reasonable so this was the first holiday we actually went home from with money left over!!!!!!!
We found the hotel extremely clean with the housekeepers providing an excellent service. Most days they would leave bunches of flowers on the dressing tables and beds! We honestly could not believe how kind and friendly everyone who worked at the hotel were. We found by the end of the holiday we had made friends with them all and will keep in contact through out the winter.
My one complaint is only that it was just too hot! But thank you to all at the Mehtap hotel. will definitely see you all next year!!!

I recently stayed at the Mehtap Hotel earlier this year. I booked with Thomas Cook and was pleasantly surprised as the hotel is newly refurbished.
I stayed in an excellent room and the view from my balcony was amazing. My parents were issued the suite room by the manager for their 50th wedding anniversary and the outside restaurant (Bacchus) made a big party for them. Really made their holiday!
Turkish night provided for hotel guests was good fun. Staff are was very friendly and receptionists very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. Will be back next year.
