8 readers found this review helpful

I have been returning to the Mehtap for the last 6 years and can not fault it one bit. The location is fantastic and ideal for families, the management and staff from the waiters to reception and cleaners are friendly and extremely helpful. Always going ot of there way to help and making you enjoy your holiday.
Food at the hotel is delicious and there is a range of an international menu. the hotel is in the central part of the beach with fantastic views from the rooms and brilliant entertainment from the professional drag at the hotel and the ajoining bar at the side of the hotel.
i will continue to recommend this hotel to anyone and many ofmy friend have accompanied me and on their own...all who will hold the same views as me!

I have been visiting Turkey for the past 10 years but never have I had a bad enough experience to feel strongly about writing a review.
Positives: Mehtap hotel is in a great location 50m or so from the (gravel type) beach and a 10min walk or so into the main town. Marmaris is a beautiful place, with lots to see and buy.
Accommodation is basic - but can't complain too much. After all you're only there to sleep in. Most had sea views.
Negatives: Breakfast at Mehtap is served between 8 - 10:00am. We would go down for breakfast around 9:00am and there hardly be anything there aside from some cucumber and bread!!! The food once gone was never topped up and people were constantly annoyed with this.
Evening meal - you had a choice of only 7 dishes from a 5 page menu!!!
On our 7th day we were forced to pay for our meals which we couldn't understand and when asked to speak to the manager about this - we were warned not to as he wasn't a nice man.
The staff are VERY rude and are the worst I have come across. Every 20minutes or so they would hassle you to buy drinks whilst on the beach. I am accustomed to Turkey's somewhat pushy attitude but this was on a completely different scale. If you didn't buy drinks every time you were asked they would mutter under there breath and were sarcastic. We were made to feel very uncomfortable!!! Despite buying several drinks each day at the beach it was never enough and for that reason was asked to walk further up to sit in another 'patch' of the beach - although Mehtap has there own section for hotel residents!
When we met other locals in the area we were told that Mehtap staff were not friendly/ nice people - but this was obviously too late for anything to be done.
Lastly entertainment was so so. Drag Queen - not to my taste. That was on nearly EVERY NIGHT. I can still hear her/his voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have thick skin, don't offend easily, often drink until your stomach needs pumping and don't mind the same numbing entertainment each night - Mehtap is for you.

i have been going to turkey now for the past nine years and have to admit this is the worst hotel i have stayed in. the bed linen was dirty with blood on the pillow cases the floor was not cleaned once whilst there for two weeks when we complained my mum was called a whinger. the lift kept breaking down with some poor kids screaming the door to the lift was virtually hanging of.if you dont eat in there resteraunt they dont like it and keep hassling you especially the geodie who sits outside the resteraunt.will be going back to turkey next year but not to this hotel.

I stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks and thought was the best holiday ever., located right next to the baech front which was lovely. All the staff were brilliant very friendly and helpful making sure you felt right at home. The hotel was clean and my room was cleaned everyday, i loved the turkish breakfast alot of variety of food which you could choose from including great meals from resturant. Plenty of entertainment on night time where could sit and relax with no hassle
we def go back

I was in different places in the world and in different hotels. Mehtap was definitly the worst ever. bad service, rude receptionest, and dirty hotel (curtains, sheets, and baths). The general manager was nice. still, we asked him for a photo copy for our voucher but they never gave it to us.
Regards

When I read some of the reveiws below I can not begin to imagine what people expect for a very reasonable priced hotel right on the beach front.
I have stayed here on many occasions and I am very happy with the service that I have received. I am not claiming that the hotel is perfect because it isn't but any problem that arose, I spoke to the manager and he sorted it for me immediately. One year they did put carpets in the rooms that got grubby very quickly. I asked them about the carpets and they had thought that they would make the rooms 'homely' but hadn't anticipated the dirt from peoples shoes becomming ground into the carpet. There are no carpets anymore and the floors are swept and cleaned on a daily basis.
The location is becah front where all the bars and restaurants are. If you are after a quiet hotel where you can sleep before 12pm then i suggest you research the location before you book. You cannot blame the hotel for it's lively atmosphere - blame the travel agent. The drag show is not my cup-of-tea so I drink in the other bar of the hotel that plays 60's and 70's music. The show is not the only option.
We stayed Half Board this year and were pleasantly surprised with the variety available. Some places offer limited menus for their half and full board options but we were handed the same menu as other diners each night. We normally stay B&B which is a Turkish breakfast and you can upgrade for £1 per day to a full English breakfast.
The staff here are very friendly and I would now consider some of them my friends. They remember us by name year on year and offer a warm welcome when we arrive.
I booked my holiday this year through Sun N Sea holidays (www.sunnsea.travel) and can not fault the service i received. They bent over backwards to help me before my holiday and then, whilst i was away I unfortunately needed assistance with the local hospital and they called me every day to see how I got on. They also sent a rep to help with my paperwork and assisted with my insurance claim when I got home. Sun N Sea are very good priced holidays but if on occasions they do quote a little more than some other small travel agents, it is well worth the extra to have the peace of mind that what ever happens during your stay, they will go out of their way to make this better for you. Unlike some agents like Gold.trail
I apologise for the long review but I feel that people need to hear a balanced view and not the irate ramblings of some people who seem to expect 5 star accommodation for 1 star prices. Mehtap is well rated at 3* and the people who work their will do their best to make your holiday an enjoyable one. Show them a friendly smile and they will return it 10 fold.
Happy holidays!
