    Pleasent hotel for good money
    We were given a small but rather nice pool view room on the top floor. The staff is helpful and rather friendly. Food is good. Breakfasts are consistent but good. Lunch and dinner are varied and tasty. Separate barbecue area with roasted meat or fried egg. Food served by the service. We had to wait in line but it goes very smoothly. Drinks at the pool bar. The only thing you can get a little attached to is the selection of alcoholic beverages. Vodka, gin, star anise, white wine, red wine, and beer. Non-alcoholic drinks: cola, fanta, sprite, sparkling water; juices: apple, pineapple, orange, cherry. Tea (very strong) and coffee (served from a machine). Among the guests there are many Russians, Poles, Germans and Turks. In the evenings, music is played by the pool. Turkish, Russian and rather older Western hits. Moderate animation programs. The pool, despite its relatively shallow depth, is enough. Buildings give some shade, you can always find a hidden hideout if the sun is too strong for you. During our stay it was 32-35 degrees every day;). The hotel has its own beach with sun loungers and a bar. You can get soft drinks, beer and snacks there. The location is very good. Lots of small shops nearby. 20-30 meters there is a bus station to Side (3.50LT) or Manavgat (5.50LT). Take some Turkish Lira on the bus. If you don't have LT, the driver takes 1EUR (instead of 3.50LT) ( 1EUR=10LT). Value for money hotel, I recommend it.

    Hotel is beautifully decorated in Turkish traditional style and very clean. We had a family room which had 2 bedrooms, the rooms were decently sized and clean. Maids cleaned every day too. Staff were always friendly and helpful. We visited haman for a massage and it was amazing, we floated out afterwards. It was not the cheapest but we were advised against visiting cheaper places as the standards of hygiene are poor. We paid 50 euros each and was there for 2 hours. It was well worth it. The food was beautifully presented and there was plenty of variety. There was something for every taste and the food trays were regularly filled. We didn't go in the pool but it looked clean. I would highly recommend this hotel. I gave it 4 stars because it is a bit out of the way but there is a regular city bus into side old town where there are more shops, bazaars and attractions. The hotel has its own area of the beach with a bar that is a short walk away or there is a shuttle bus from reception.

    modestly, but nice and tasty
    We have just returned from this hotel after a week's stay with my fiancée. The hotel is rather modest, but with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is really good, fresh and various. Could be more kinds of drinks and local alkohol. There is unfortunately weak offer for sport activities. The gym is really weak and neglected. Also billard and pushing are not working too well. However animation are really good, there is also good floor for dancing. Unfortunately Music and animations only for German, Arabic and Russian people. Should be more music for other nations. We lacked the ability to freely use the coffee machine and juices. You had to go to the bar for coffee, and there was no juice at all, just some sweet drinks. Many drinks served in plastic. We need to ask for glass often. Besides, a very nice swimming pool, nicely cleaned rooms and a great location of the hotel. Close to the beach and bazaars.

We have been to Turkey 11 times and had the most wonderful time in all the hotels but not this one ,when we were there we complained about the food as they were catering for the German people and Turkish, the food was the same every two days if you like chicken you will be flying by the time you come home , this hotel is not suitable for anyone disabled as we found out we complained to the manager who just fobbed us off ,this hotel is more like a 2 star certainly not a 4 star be aware when booking and don't bother complaining to love holidays as they fobbed us off aswell , By the way we love Turkey and has not put us off but be careful what your booking 😉 😀 😜

-This hotel is perfect if you’re a German pensioner, staff speak very little English but have PhDs in German. -The “All Inclusive” food is suited for Germans and specifically German pensioners, if you’re British, you will suffer here, just download Getir and order BK or Maccies from the city, delivery is insanely cheap. -You won’t be able to wash or Iron any of your clothes without paying a few euros per each clothing item. -No kettles in the hotel room. -The pool bar gives free drinks but the ice cream vendor next to it charges insane prices so be careful. Hotel is clean, the location is great and the staff are friendly.

My family have just returned from a beautiful holiday in this hotel and would have no hesitation in recommending it. The food was fantastic, lots of choice for everyone and plenty of everything. The entertainment was good every night without being rowdy until late, lovely children's entertainers etc. Withing easy reach of the beautiful beach (10-15 mins walk). Rooms were spotless and maid service every day. Spa lovely! I would like to mention on our return flight the Turkish Airport were charging EVERYONE 10 Euros for not booking in online beforehand. Please make sure that you take this amount per person with you on your flight home. Treat yourself to a very reasonable holiday in this gorgeous hotel, you won't be disappointed!

Ok so I’m gonna review this hotel bit by bit so it gives you a idea what to expect Rooms. 9/10 The rooms are clean the towels and bedding is changed on a regular basis The bathroom is very nice The shower is just amazing with hot water all day The reason I have give 9 out of 10 and not 10 for the room is the telly only had one English Channel I would of liked to see maybe just a music channel or maybe a film channel but apart from from that the rooms was perfect Hotel bar 10/10 The beer is perfect the sprits are what you would expect they have red and white wine and there is a good selection of soft drinks and the staff are brilliant easy a 10 out of 10 Restaurant 9/10 Lunch and dinner are brilliant with a selection to suit most and they put a outstanding effort into it all The Turkish night on a Saturday is out of this world I’d stay at this hotel for that alone again The reason for 9/10 is I felt there could of been a little more for breakfast ie some mushrooms and maybe some chopped tomatoes Apart from that it’s very clean and once again the staff are brilliant Beach bar 10/10 Bar man in the beach bar is amazing The lady that cooks there puts on a lovely lunch They make it a very nice relaxing day at the beach credit to them both and guess what this is all inclusive in the price you pay we didn’t even expect this so was happy to find out it’s in the price Husan the manger is lovely you can find his number on Facebook for what’s app he will go out of his way to make sure you have a good holiday he arranged our transport from the airport he made sure every few days everything was ok he also printed of the boarding pass for free which was a nice little touch a lot of hotel these days want money for that So to sum up this holiday it was brilliant it’s 10/10 all the way few areas for minor improvement but they can see this and are working hard every day to make sure you come to turkey and have a lovely holiday So thank you to all the staff and thank you to every one else that made our holiday and put so much effort into us on our holiday once again

Meals at hotel every two days the same. After one week I could not look on chicken and turkey. Boiled eggs on breakdast was dirty from chicken excrement. Water, tea, coffee was served in different area than cantine, so it was difficult to walking every time to drink bar and carrying it to table at cantine. People were smoking cigarets near swimming pool and smoke was inside of the cantine. Some people smoke inside cantine even it was forbiden. Every time at cantine cats were under table during meals. In bathroom we had mould. People at restaurant didn’t talk in English. It was difficult to ask about meal and size of portion. I will not recomend.

Hotel Marve sun was very clean and nice.Stuff was very friendly and nice.Rooms are nice and you have everything you need ( mini bar , tv, hair dryer, ...) air condition in our room was poor , but this is maybe because we have room in roof , so maybe insolation was bad.Any way, it wasn't to hot outside, it was ok in room. Food was very good and always fresh. Pool in hotel is very clean. Hotel was 5 minutes from beach.On the beach , there is beach bar for the guests of hotel.
