Arbatt Marmaris Hotel

The positives: the staff I found polite and friendly and the service very good. Rooms nicely decorated and spacious and very clean the location is perfect short walk to the beach and in the middle of the nightlife.the 2 quiet pools out back I found perfect kept the sun all day and always beds available I’m not sure all the guests knew about the extra pools as the sun stayed there all day. Negatives: the food was poor I ate out everyday the snack bar was the only saving grace toasties etc I did eat lunch there. Drinks where ok what you would expect at an all inclusive but no entertainment at all and very quiet so headed out every night so never really used the all inclusive. The main pool only has 25 beds for a hotel with 190 rooms and the sun doesn’t hit it after 2pm. The music from the bar opposite is very loud till around midnight as a young couple it didn’t bother us but it might if you have young children. When eating alone during breakfast or lunch or going the bar while my partner was sleeping or in the pool I was so harassed by one of the workers asking for my instagram telling me I was beautiful an would not leave me alone so I left without finishing my food this happened on 3 occasions I didn’t feel intimidated just was annoying while I was trying to relax so in the end would only go around when my partner was with me I did feel completely safe in and out of the hotel though. I would go back but probably not to this hotel

Ideal hotel if your a solo traveller :)

We are here at the moment, I cannot wait to leave. Positive point hotel clean, friendly bar guy at the pool who really does his best to please customers, free air conditioning. Thats it for the good im afraid. none of the other staff have spoken to us. reception staff have poor English speaking. In my personal opinion this hotel management, take your money, but do not go out of their way, to make your holiday, an enjoyable experience. There is no entertainment. The food is diabolical, that's putting it mildly. Usually with all inclusive, there is always something you can eat, definitely not in this case, the only warm food is the soup, everything else cold and recycled. It is not all inclusive all day, there are set times for meals, and drinks are only all inclusive until 11.30pm, not that they are worth having anyway, so called cocktails are like drinking syrup. Desserts consist of two types of melon, apples oranges, grapefruit and pretty much the same 4 small cakes every day. Cold chips for breakfast, with snotty eggs, if they bother to cook them, boiled eggs are black when you cut them up, salad, olives and I have no idea what the other things are, it looks like fried lentils and beans not sure, nothing is labelled. The food bar does have cereals, uncovered, and put out every day chocolate spread, cold pancakes, and runny sweet jam, and cheap chocolate spread. No toast, and hot drinks machine is never set up properly, so when you have a hot chocolate, powder is on top floating. Pools are very small, because where they are situated you only get sun, up to between 1 and 2, that's it. Snack bar food way to greasy and oily, cheese on toasties is what I call plastic cheese, rubbery. This hotel is close to a very loud bar, and the noise at night is horrendous, no chance of sleeping, until they close early hours of the morning. Please do not waste your money on this hotel, its shocking that on the beach have gave them such a high rating, I would struggle to give them a 2*
