Mehtap Hotel

I have had the pleasure of staying at the Mehtap for 5 years on the run, twice a year on the last two occassions I have visited turkey, and i will continue to do so til Im old and grey!
Daily maid service, great showers!! Love the location, fabulous sea views from most rooms, foods excellent, staff our really freindly and will do anything to help you...I had complications with my bank this time and the owners brother Ilhan was great in helping me contact the UK and use the office for a couple of hours to sort out the situation! Its like a home from home for me and my freinds and family, i have visited many places and stayed in many european hotels and this is one of the cleanest and freindliest places, and close to all amenities.
Going back in September 2008 and cant wait to see everyone!
Its a great hotel...for what your paying you cant ask for more.

me and the girls have just got back from the best 2 weeks in turkey made all the better by the fab time that we had at the Mehtap hotel.the young boys in the resturant were very friendly and made our stay just that little bit special.
bella was fab and the dancer girls werent that bad too.had a cracking time food very nice-especially the mexcian dishes and we will defo be back next year for more fun in the sun next year.
thanks for a fab hols.p.s boys on the beach were fab too.
Will be recomending to friends and family for next year

even though me and my husband are getting on a bit we love coming to turkey and this was the 3rd time that we stayed at the hotel.as usually we were very well looked after by the staff. the food was very good. Entertainemt was very good - i was a bit unsure about the man dressed as a lady but she was very good and even got my burt up in stage. had a wonderful time and have already booked to come back in sept.Overall very good sevice.

We arrived at the hotel very early in the morning. The staff seemed really very nice and quite helpful. It was my first time to marmaris and found the hotel to be satisfactory. We were right in the middle of everything. We did not have far to walk anywhere. The rooms were very basic but we were hardly ever there. The only draw back was that there was a cabaret act going on right below our room until early hours, so would not recomend for families. It is not the cleanist of places but nothing in Marmaris is !!!!!
Otherwise the hotel was lovely, the staff were lovely and would stay here again.
P.s there is a K.F.C right beside the reception with some really nice local boys who will always see you right at the end of the evening!!

my husband and i are just back from staying at the mehtap hotelfor 2 weeks and some of the reviews we read before we went weren't to good so we thought we would add our review. the location was excellent right on the beach front, hotel was clean and there was a maid service everyday. the pool is very small but as we were only 30 seconds walk to the beach this was okay. the entertainment in the hotel is good if you like that sort of thing(we didn't go to the show) staff friendly. if you go you need to try a turkish bath it was excellent. we will definetly go back to this hotel.

when we arrived it the hotel their was 6 of us we were giving 2 bedrooms which 1 of the rooms containted a double bed for 3 meduim build girls. it took 2 hours to sort the bedrooms out when we finally got sorted out with wot we asked for we had to get other people outof their beds. we paid for air con in both rooms and in 1 room was blowing out warm air they turn it off when yr not in yr room. the entertaiment is good but hotel its self is boring and food is not up to much. if yr getting a saftey deposit box please check it every day as its not safe at all door is wide openn window is open in which the safe is contained in. please lock all yr personal belongings away would be best in yr case and money with it being locked at all time. nite staff also fall asleep. we used to go to are friends bar till 6-6.30am come bck n he would be asleep. so much for watching the hotel. we also had money taken from our rooms aswell.

Booked half board at the Mehtap hotel, as we have been to Marmaris before and knew the location. The location is great, right on the beach and just round the corner is the shops. Right in the middle of all the nightlife.
The hotel isnt the best we have stayed in, BUT it was the location that drew us to stay here. We couldnt fault the hotel, very clean and tidy, maid service everyday with clean towels. All the staff extremely friendly.
Breakfast was a typical turkish breakfast, consisting of just bread, tomatoes, cheese, cold meats and hard boiled egg, coffee, tea and orange juice. That was the same everyday but it was fine for us. You can go into the restaurant and buy a cooked breakfast and the price was next to nothing. That made a nice change.
The evening meal, you could pick wot you wanted off the menu, except for the steak which would have to be paid for. Varied and very good.
If your half board tho be aware that the only pudding you are allowed to have is melon, and that isnt stated anywhere. I had an arguement with the manager and told him that i would like cheesecake from the menu and he said it wasnt possible, melon only!!! I wasnt happy, so he got the waiters to bring some ice cream for us, which was like our viennetta. very nice, so i asked for it everyday and got it.... 2 days before we were due to come home, my auntie and daughter had the canalonni, they said it tasted lovely, but for days after they had serious food poisoning. They werent well for at least a 10 days. That was the only problem we had.
There is entertainment every night, which is only a drag queen, but a very good drag queen,Bella Beserk. We thoughly enjoyed it every nite, she did do different acts and certainly wasnt the same thing every night. Loved Danny the Geordie, he did a great act too.
The lazy day boat trip on the King Seizer, is well worth doing. very cheap at £6 each and you could upgrade and have an all inclusive day on there. We did the moonlight boat trip also on the same day, that was great. Disco on board, 1st drink free and belly dancer.
Although i rated this a 7, if it hadnt of been for the food poisoning i would of given it 10/10. That hasnt put me off tho. I will definatley go back to this hotel again.

me,& 2 of my best friends went to turkey ,we didn,t actually stay at the mehtap,but my friends did last year,all they did when they got back was rave about how fantastic it was! they took me to the mehtap for a few of the days,we lazed about on the beach while a funny waiter called shaban waited on us,fetching drinks,lollys n generally making sure we were having a good time! the lads in the mehtap itself were brilliant thanks to charlie chicken,driver paul,mehmet,j.j and the georgous justin with the most amazing eyes i,ve ever seen,they were wonderful,i am going away next ymay for a girlie holiday and i,m going to make sure i get in the mehtap,yeah i,ve seen a few bad reviews about the size of the pool but who needs one when you,ve got the beach only a few steps away,it certainly didn,t bother us!!!!

i have come to turkey for 15 years and three times a year staying with the same owners of this hotel, and i have to say after reading all of the other reviews i seriously dont know where you get the crap from! the mehtap is a clean family run hotel that offers fab location and a good stay! yeah it has entertainment but which hotel doesnt?? And im sure ud be complaining if there wasnt entertainment!! food is fab in the restaurant and good service! you can't expect to come to turkey and get gold taps, it is still 3rd world country! As for showers bein cold you find this alot of places in turkey they do their best for everyone! electricity does go off every now and again but again this is common in turkey and marmaris due to the demand! you have to appreciate what they try to do for the bristish public! we love turkey and have returned year after due to high quality of service that you don't get any where else! we love the mehtap and turkey and are all going again in august for another fabulous two weeks!
