Overall this property is lovely, it has some wear and tear but the rustic architecture and furnishings is lovely along with great views added bonus of a Jetty also has a beach, lots of bars, eating areas. Outdoor and indoor sitting areas, staff are welcoming, helpful, food choices are great, and high quality. With more tweets could be better. We a family of 3 visited during October half term we are regulars to Turkey inclusive hotels, 2nd visit in Marmaris so aware of standards. We arrived at 1.30 am the queues were so long to check in only 2 people at Check in, it took 50 minutes to check in not a good start! There was soup in the night which was warm. We were allocated a room in main building on the 4th floor it was opposite the kitchen exhaust and that night due to the noise we hardly got any sleep the room had a un inviting layout only 1 single wardrobe! Next day requested reception for a room change which we got around 1pm. That new room was on the 2nd floor was much better. Outside Property; spotless, big on a slope, lots of pools, 2 bars outdoor, 1 on beach, and 1 indoor gorgeous views of the sea and shaded by trees. Bedroom: spacious, a little dated, small balconies. Bathroom: very small, although do have a double Shower, they definitely need an upgrade, we had a stiff sliding door in both. Food: there is wide choice of options, and you can get burgers and fresh dough pizza from pine bar till 4pm. All the al La cartes closed for end of season on the 31st October. We managed to get a booking for an Italian and that was really nice.they also do nice lunch but did not get to try myself my family did. The main dining area is over 2 halls, however the one serving hot mains was very busy. Out of the 6 nights we had to queue for 4! The first night we queued for 20 mins! I have not experienced this previously at any AI. The food quality was of high quality wide choice. They have ice cream, and Millkshake and bubble tea and patisserie , gozlame,till 4pm. The coffee machine drinks however were really poor! Thank goodness for the coffee shops where they serve real coffee, lattes and flat white, herbal teas all day and evening. the girls working here are all lovely too. Dining staff: not enough staff most of our stay, had to get your own drinks apart from 2 occasions. However if you ask them they will get it for you. Cutlery was always missing had to ask for it. Cleaners: great ladies did a good job each day of cleaning the room. Toiletries: they have 2 dispensers with liquid and 1 for 1 shower gel and shampoo. Bar staff: we spent more time at Pine Bar the staff are all friendly make you feel very welcome. Entertainment/ show: There was 2 shows during our holiday. The Ethiopian dancers werejust amazing and the best I have seen at any AI. The floss dance group was also okay. Other nights it was karaoke, DJ, or music whilst we’re there it was Turkish Republic day but was not celebrated and Halloween was a low key event. Other AI really do
