The most shocking holiday
1 / 10
Jul 2011, Nujoud

Marbas is the worst hotel my husband and I have ever been to. We went on an all inclusive five day stay. The rooms were bare but for the bed,the mirror,the 12 inch ancient TV with hazy, and only Turkish channnels and a split unit air conditioner which only works from the reception if you agree to pay $ 10 for a few hours a day, in addition to the paid internet. The bathroom is bare of any accessories and it stinks of mold.
The food is the same daily , the salad bar consists of cucumbers and tomatoes and olives in 20 different shapes, and the hot food is tasteless, cold and I swear I am not exaggerating.
Don't go.

My family and I have just got back from our summer holiday, and I must say that none of us wanted to leave.
The hotel did everything they could to help us out and even though we had some trouble with the beds in our room they were soon sorted out. Aswell as the lock of our room door braking, the staff did everything they could to help us! Even climbing over the balcony to keep my little brother company.
The pool is small but there is a pool next door with slides that we used, and as long as you buy drinks from their restrant they are fine with you using it.
The Libity bar next to the hotel was the best and even though we went out to get a meal we always returned to there bar, as the staff and the entertainment are always a pleasure.
Will miss everyone so much.

Me and my Girlfriend stayed here for 9 days in May 2008. We were greeted by a pleasant receptionist in the early hours and he took our luggage to our room. The staff there were superb. Very polite and they just couldn't do enough. Even the owner came around everyday to see if everyone was ok. There was alot of food to choose from and there was plenty to go around. Plenty of selection to. The bar was always attended meaning that you could always get a drink. The rooms cleaned very well everyday, unless you didn't want it to be. The hotel is right on the beach and close to everything. This hotel is suitable for absolutely everyone. Overall SUPERB!!

Booked this holiday one week before and really didn’t know what to expect. The hotel couldn’t be any nearer the beach - which is sand and shingle and very narrow. Can get a bit crowded.
Hotel staff are really nice and friendly and rooms are fairly big, with all you need in it. Food is cooked well but not enough choice. There is entertainment in Liberty's next door where you can take your all-inclusive drinks in while being entertained.
There is also the bus terminal right outside the hotel. Buses run to Marmaris every 5 minutes until 1am, return fares for 2 costs around £3. We found there are plenty to do in Icmeler for all the family and plenty boat trips.
Would recommend the hotel and the Resort.

The hotel is located at the end of the resort next to the harbour.
Dolmus buses to Marmaris do the turn around outside the hotel which is very handy, also if you fancy using the water taxis to Marmaris they run from within 50 metres of the hotel.
The hotel is spotless with the rooms cleaned every day. Most of the TV channels are not in English.
We did the B&B which gives you a massive choice of restaurants to dine out at in the evenings or during the day.
The hotel is situated on the beach with the Liberty Bar next door which is also part of the hotel where they will at the click of a finger, find you a sun bed and shade, they will also get you any drink or snack you require and in the evening they will setup a candlelit table for you on the jetty for that romantic evening meal.
The hotel has a pool and a children’s pool but with the sea being on your doorstep with a mixture of both sand and shingle on the beach also with a shallow slope into the sea most of the guests tended to use the beach.
All your water sports are within easy reach of the hotel with the option to hire a speed boat at the jetty outside the hotel.
The hotel and bar staff are fantastic. It is worth paying the extra for the sea view rooms as the scenery is stunning.
The air con is only on at certain times but does the job with the air con coming on late evening thru to early morning. The rooms have a safe.
One downfall is the veranda which has two chairs but no table, I leave you to draw your own conclusions as to why this is.
The Icmeler weekly market is great so enjoy the haggling. The market is held at the back of the town with a 20 minute walk from the hotel or 5 minutes on the Dolmus, yep they don’t hang around.
For us the holiday was fantastic we don’t normally go to the same resort twice but with this hotel and its location we would not hesitate.
As a final word we did the all day boat trips with the usual chicken rice and drink as much as you can all for a tenner for two, also the horse riding up in the mountains which even to this day, still gives me that hard saddle feeling.

What an excellent place!
We have visited Turkey twice now, and I would say that Icmeler is perfect for the young and old, people who want a quiet holiday and those who wish to party!
We stayed in the Marbas Hotel, although the hotel was excellent, we feel that the rooms could do with some slight modernisation or refurbishment. However, they were kept spotlessly clean every single day by their very friendly maid service. The guys in the Liberty Bar (attached to the Hotel) were absolutely fantastic you could not fault them one bit and they all worked extremely hard.
So, all round, an excellent place to stay right on the beach in a perfect setting with superb people - what more could you ask for!
