Mehtap Family Hotel

I know health and safety is not the same in turkey but we had injuries galore... my daughter was ****** in on her back with the pool fan as it had no cover on it, lucky it wasnt someones hair ... my grandaughter slipped on the stairs cos they had been cleaned no signs put out they put slip strips on all stairs on last day of our 10 days. No slip mats round pool at all people falling constantly. Room was not cleaned whilst there. We had left dirty towels on floor in bathroom so they could be changed were folded up and put back on shelf. Bedding not changed once either!! Pool area not cleaned whilst we were there, there was a bottle of pop that was left by the pool the whole time we were there. Location you cant fault its central so quite handy.

Pros. 1.Central location - As a 1st time visitors to Marmaris and Turkey... everything was literally 10 mins to get too (beach, multiple restaurants).Helps with Bearings 2.Bar Staff - super friendly, special mention to Ken and the Bar Manager/Owner Jacob 3.Waterslide - our kids spent a lot of time on this thing and gave a lot of joy to the kids.(Be mindful it gets a bit rowdy and smaller kids can be in danger of getting wiped out by inflatables -not malicious just kids being kids Cons 1.No lifts - so you maybe placed on the 4th floor and in our case 3rd floor -we were offered NO assistance with our suitcases (another guest was kind enough to hep us) 2.Concierge - on arrival we were first 'greeted' by the smell of sewage.(thankfully we didn't notice this any other day - so much for first impressions ).The main manager (gentleman in specs).. wasn't the friendliest,there is a lady who works in the day,who was the most receptive and was the most understanding.The reception area is basic 3.Room - ummm...what can I say basic.Our room smelt of sewage when we just got into the room (my wife was woken up at 7am because it smelt so bad).I had to get Bleach,toilet cleaners and air freshener.The "flat screen TV" is no larger than the largest IPAD..it's there as a decoration because you can't get any signal (reminded me on the 80s and 90s when your aerial needed tuning) 4.Breakfast - the best thing about it were the freshly fried eggs, Omelette,Water Melon and toast.The Baked bean... Gruel looked more appetising.The "fresh" juice was cordial.Variety?What's that ZERO variety!My kids rarely ate ANYTHING for breakfast - we had to eat out. 5.Slip and trip hazards - loads of small steps. 6.The pool is about 9 metres long so not as big as the pictures make out (gets you to cool off though).It can get really messy poolside though If you want to book this as a "place to rest your head..ZERO thrills,with basic sustenance in the morning - then this is your place. It's the second worst hotel I've ever stayed in,the worst was the Airport Hotel we were forced to spend the night in in Adidas Ababa in 2008...so I have SEEN and experienced LOW bars!

It is a very nice hotel, the staff is friendly, we were very pleased, I can recommend it with peace of mind I can say it is the best holiday I have spent with my family. It is a magnificent hotel in terms of hotel staff, food and cleanliness. You can have a family holiday with peace of mind. It is a hotel that I will choose again and again and recommend.

Spent a week at Mehtap Family Hotel a the room was brilliant it was spacious clean and very cosy the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us we had bed and breakfast and the food was amazing all in all it was a wonderful holiday to remember and we have booked again for next year.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Avoid at all costs. I think most reviews are the owners themselves under different names. Very run down not clean at all and food is unedible. Big lesson learnt for me. Staff are pervs towards young girls. Has never had a refurbishment. The photos they have on their site is definitely not what is in that hotel. I don’t want any other family to feel the way I did in this hotel. Needs shut down!!!

Fantastic 40 room hotel. Could not have asked for me. Food was excellent. Drinks were priced very well. And the staff were brilliant. The rooms were a good size. Rooms had air-con. Kettle & cups and a fridge. Also had a safe. The hotel is just off the main road. But very close to the beach and all the shops. The staff have a great knowledge of the area. This hotel has been under new management for the last 2 years. So don't take any notice of the reviews from before 2021. We are going again this year. Also on site is a very well priced jewellery & Handbag shop. Plus a hairdresser and tattoo shop.
