Controversial feelings about the hotel: three out of five points.
Interior: the reality corresponds to the photo, if you understand that the photos were taken 7-10 years ago - the furniture is already somewhat outdated and worn out.
Rooms: judging by the reviews, we were lucky to immediately get into a good room on the second floor by their standards. It is somewhat smaller than in the photo, with tired furniture and an old air conditioner, but in general nothing criminal. I even finished off the Internet from the lobby. The bed linen is clean, there are no bedbugs, as they wrote.
Cleaning: maintenance cleaning was carried out every day (garbage, floors, bed was made), bed linen and towels were changed after 2 days. Once they forgot about the towels, but the reception quickly resolved the issue. General cleaning in general, apparently, is not carried out at all, which affects the condition of plumbing and surfaces. But you get used to it over time.
Food: that's where we didn't make it to three... And everything seems to be edible, but an incomprehensible set of dishes, lack of meat (only chicken, you don't even dream of fish). It is normal to serve soup, French fries, boiled eggs, olives, muesli and bread with jams for breakfast... For lunch and dinner, a choice of 2 hot dishes and two side dishes (something must be deep-fried). There are many semi-finished products: vegetables from frozen mixes, purchased meatballs, nuggets, etc. For some reason, there is a large selection of stupid snacks, but there is a queue for the main dishes. In general, those who write that they gained weight - I believe: these are those who, due to lack of choice, ate French fries and bread. On the third day, my husband was already howling from the endless chicken.
Staff: Of course, this is not the top of customer service. But the waiters run fast, and the man at the reception, who works in the evenings, always helped with questions and advice.
Location: 2-3 minutes to the sea, but to the free beach -just to the left next to the ships you can sit on the sand.
The city center is 3 km away, we heroically walked sometimes several times a day.
In general, the hotel has a place to be, given the current prices and other offers, apparently this is normal. We stayed at the hotel only at night, and so we rented a car and went around to the wonderful places that made our vacation.
Hello everyone, we had a rest with a young man from 08/23/24 to 09/01/2024
A year ago I had a vacation in the 3rd Kemer, I can say that the difference is significant.
Seray hotel corresponds to the stated stars, and if we take into account that vacationers showed us photos and told us about their 4, 5 and were surprised that everything is much better in our 3, then I can confidently recommend this hotel.
Wi-fi is in the lobby, but it was periodically caught on our 2nd floor.
The staff is polite, mostly guys.
LOCATION:
It takes 3-4 minutes to literally cross the road to the sea and go down a little.
Go a little to the left, you can lie down on your towels, you can get to all other beaches with sun beds for a drink bought from them, well, or lie down between the rows also on your towel if you don't want to pay.
It is also 10-15 minutes to the center in the other direction (you can walk, we got 40 minutes in the afternoon, and 35 minutes along the beach in the dark)
Fountains at 21 and 22 include
NEIGHBORING BEACHES:
By minibus (30 lira / 15 minutes, or even less) you can get to Icmeler, Nirvana Beach, well, or any other, there is cleaner water, there are waves, but also biting fish. There is also a Turunch, it is further away, the minibus runs once an hour, we were not there, but we were advised. In general, the more to the right, the cleaner it is, although there were no questions about the cleanliness of the sea at all, the only thing is very salty, you can barely open your eyes if you get wet.
nutrition:
The choice of food is large, varied, the buffet itself was not photographed, I attacked bread and French fries, and so there are different side dishes, there was meat and soy, a lot of vegetables, desserts, fruits. We even came in 5 minutes before the end of dinner and there was enough food. There is wine / beer / vodka / gintonic from non-alcoholic cola / sprite for sure, the rest was not specified. A couple of times it happened that something ended in the evening, but this is not critical, the vending machine with water / juice / tea is always worth it. Wine from bottles, decent beer, like Ephesus.
cleaning:
Russian-speaking girls clean, they clean well. I don't know if they have a schedule, but on the 4th day of rest, we asked the reception to do the cleaning for us and it was done, towels were changed, paper was added, and the day before departure we already did the cleaning without asking. Of course, we did not consider every corner, and the windows to the balcony too, the linen was clean, the remote control from the air conditioner was on tape, but everything worked fine, the refrigerator too, well, we did not turn on the TV, it was not needed.
EXCURSIONS (we considered several offers, spent time, but I will tell you for sure that we did not find it more profitable / honest / better, and after asking the same vacationers, it turned out that they were on the same tour with us, that's just $ 15 more expensive)
Therefore, I heartily recommend "SASHA FROME RUSH", but not those Sasha who pretend to be on the beach, namely Sasha from Krasnodar, from whom you can take not only excursions, but also exchange any currency, at the most favorable rate, we first hurried and exchanged a part not very profitable, also from you can rent a mask, a scooter, maybe a car, I don't know for sure.
I'm attaching a photo, its location is a little further from Migros and McDonald's (there even seems to be a label in Yandex maps). He will honestly tell you where to go, where not to go.
Here is his contact( +90 (538) 576 73 36 ) if you write in advance to WhatsApp, he may ask you to buy some products in Russia that are more expensive in Turkey, he will send you money)
APPLICATIONS:
-Maps.me (download the map of Marmaris in advance, you can mark the points there)
-Converter (to understand what's what)
-Translator (if you don't know English)
There are not many Russian tourists in Marmaris, prices are mostly indicated everywhere in pounds.
Migros is a supermarket with regular prices, in other stores 15-20 liras is usually more expensive.
The bazaar mainly sells things, you can bargain.
I also recommend visiting Kapurcuk (a two-storey cafe, a museum on the second floor, traditional desserts on the ground floor, very tasty with figs, nuts, tea, coffee and sodas, this has never been seen anywhere else (we were advised on one of the excursions) Open until 17 o'clock. In front of Anatoly's cafe to the left, apparently few people know about the place, because there are no people, and the tour was quite interesting (in English), and we left 320 lira there for everything (I attach a photo)
The old town is a must-see, very aesthetically pleasing!
There is an icon beach, it is in Icmeler, go along the shore to the left, there is a swing for photos.
We have been vacationing since 07/22/2024.
The rooms are normal, but they are not cleaned. When you come to the room, it's dirty. Someone else's hair.
I would like to say separately about the service. He's just missing. No one speaks English or Russian. Minors who smoke and do nothing work. There is often no beer or other drinks at the bar. Nobody cares about anything. Everything is dirty. Not cleaned up. In general, I think that this hotel is not worthy of a single arrival and not a single tourist. Don't spoil your vacation with these negative moments. Find a better hotel than this one.
