All inclusive is a joke! The food is terrible and the queues are long. Plates and glasses are filthy. Great dissappointment. more

Just spent 11 nights at this hotel, upon entry everything looks lovely, we stayed in the villas which are not 5* 3*tops,They were clean and big but i did pay for 5* which is a bit unfair, Apparently the hotel rooms are lovely so go into them if you decide to go. The food is horrible, ive been a few... more

We read the reviews before we travelled and as we always do, we took them with a pinch of salt, but looked at the overall messages. We're still on our holiday in this hotel and I thought I would write a review mid-holiday so that it appears on this web site before we return to UK and forget to put... more

We found our stay at the Grand Mares disappointing as we were expecting elegance and sophistication from a 5 star hotel but found this not to be so. Reading other reviews apparently the star rating in Turkey is not equal to European ratings, but why don't the British travel brochures adjust to help the British traveller? Our bedroom was large,... more

We went to this hotel on a last minute booking, it was cheap for a 5* AI and we were not expecting too much, on arrival at the airport we were picked up and taken to the hotel, it was about an hour and a half, stopping half way at a little roadside cafe, on arrival at the hotel our... more

The Mares is nice enough but don't believe the 5* bill. However, for the cash we paid the food is great, the rooms are OK but the setting is stunning - great views and beautiful landscaping. Big downsides are that although the food is great, the all inclusive is very popular and it's a little like being at the zoo.... more

This was our third Turkish holiday in the past couple of years and 'Mares' was the best hotel we have stayed in. Like most A/I Turkish hotels the standard is perhaps a little lower than other areas of Europe but was more than adequete for a relaxing summer holiday. If you have holidayed in Turkey before you will know that... more

Location was stunning, my first roon was on the fourth floor, great view but very dated. My friends room was on the second floor, beautiful room so I mentioned it and they had me moved to the second floor in no time at all :) 4 restaurants all great apart from the fish restaurant, this was the only one you... more

We had a week at Grand Yacizi Mares which is situated midway between Icmeler and Marmaris.Transfer time from Dalaman airport approx 1hrs 30mins in a taxi. We stayed in a 2 bed villa which had a separate lounge.Very basic which seems the "norm" in Turkey. Our room had a small 14in portableTV which had limited English channels but why go... more
