The Marcan Hotel is in dire need of a facelift. However the rooms are
a reasonable size and very clean. The cleaners were two lovely ladies
who were really friendly and happy. Unlike the waiting staff who insisted on calling everyone darling and trying to engage you in converstaion with the pretext of signing you up for the hotel special
nights. The pool size was excellent with plenty of sun loungers
(could have done with a steam clean but you put a towel on them) The views were spectacular. It has a good location as long as you don't mind walking up a bit of a hill. The air conditioning was extra 25.00
a week and was rubbish and could not be left on as the key was welded
to the electric card. The breakfast was better than average for Turkish hotels and you could get a fresh omlette at no extra cost.
There are excellent reataurants at the bottom of the hill in the Lyceum complex-mama Mia Italian and traditional Turkish ottaman Restaurant. fab food in both. Cheap cocktails and cheap beer available at Lyceum Bar and at the Santana bar. In the hotel all the prices at least a third dearer than just down the road. Hisaronou is not as Tacky as I was led to believe and I would have no hesitaition in going back or taking children there. We did go on a boat trip with
Easy Riders but would not recommend as we were deafened by the extremly loud music with explicit lyrics and the prices on board were
double those we were quoted by the sales woman. We were jammed on to the point six people had to sit on four person tables when they served lunch. Do use Freddie the hotel photographer he takes lovely photos and they are reasonable- you only buy if you like them.

We are a young couple who went away for a week to the marcan. Having never been to turkey before we found it to be a culture steeped in history and beautiful landmarks. Hisaronu itself however had been taken over entirely by the british and it was difficult to find the genuine turkish food and culture that we wanted to experience. The hotel was lovely-very clean, mostly quiet (except for the bar at night) with a nice pool. Don't expect a cooked breakfast though-it is a diet of eggs,salami, cheese, bread, strange salty stale cereal and warm separated milk. However lunches and dinner are superb (if a little pricey compared to three course dinners down the road). The tours of turkey are where to go for culture other than peeling sun-worshippers-we especially recommend saklikent and dalyan departure. However we would warn newcomers to turkey visiting the marcan that there is once weekly mosquito extermination which involves the piping of large quantities of smoke into the hotel corridors. This is done without warning and will fill the entire corridor with smoke, and smells very bad. It is something of concern if you are visiting and have asthma or young children. When we approached the owner about why we were not told this would be happening, he was very dismissive of our concerns and did not seem to care. Overall we would say turkey is a fantastic country to visit woth so much to see and do. Aside from a few minor problems (mostly gas incident!) we enjoyed the hotel with its friendly atmosphere.

We have just returned from a week at the Marcan hotel which is situated in Hisaronu, just outside Fethiye. It is a lovely medium class hotel and perfect for a realxing break. It is a short walk up the hill from the town center, but is surrounded by pine trees and views of the mountains. The room was basically equipped but spotless and thoroughly cleaned each day. Great friendly staff and a very relaxing pool area. The restaurant at the hotel is among the best in the area, and the food is beautifully prepared and served. Guests also have the use of facilities at the Hotel Telemessos which is directly opposite. My wife and I made some good friends on this holiday; had fun; relaxed; and enjoyed the Turkish hospitality here. We would definitely stay here again, and thoroughly recommend it.

We have just returned from a week's holiday staying at the Marcan hotel and overall were extremely impressed. The hotel is set in an ideal location 5 mins walk from the centre of Hisaronu (up a slight hill) but is further enough away that when in the complex the noise of the resort is not audible. The hotel is spotless including the rooms, (which are cleaned daily subject to the key being in reception by 12 noon) and the pool and its surrounding areas (the pool is a credit to them)

The rooms although small are adequate and all have a tiny balcony looking out to the pool or gardens - excellent shower facilities, hairdryers, plugs for the sinks and loads of coat hangers! The only thing missing is a kettle / tea making facilities!

The pool bar is the hub of the hotel and is run by a team of fantastic turkish staff whose main aim is to ensure that you enjoy your holiday through providing excellent service. As a result the atmosphere is fun both day and night. Activities that are provided by the staff (if required) are weekly turkish night (in sister hotel - v good value for money), bingo night and pool volleyball.

The hotel do operate a policy that you are not able to buy food and drink from outside the complex and eat it within - this can be a cause for concern but the prices at the hotel are comparable to those in resort. They also operate a policy whereby everything that you spend on food and drink is credited to a room card that you then settle up at the end of your stay, all transactions are computerised so easily trackable. This can tempt you to spend more but they will allow you to pay at intervals if preferred and means that you never have to worry about carrying cash around the hotel bar / pool.

Additional things to mention about the hotel are that they serve excellent food day and night, and there is the facility to keep your room on for those leaving on an early morning flight (£10) with no restrictions.

Hisaronu is a larger resort than we first thought and is ideally suited to those guests who want England in the sun - very little culture but lots of english bars and restaurants serving sunday roasts along with other things.
