Grand Yazici Marmaris Palace - All Inclusive

This hotel is still stunning especially for the money we paid for 2 Adults and 2 Teenagers! When arrives at the hotel after an horrific journey it was an unexpected pleasure to be greeted by such a beautiful reception area and very friendly staff who checked us in quickly and took us to our room in a gold buggy, which the teenagers thought was very cool! We had a family room which was very spacious and clean and had a fantastic view over the sea with the mountains in the background. The room had to separate areas, as you entered the room there were 2 singles and a dresser then moving through past the bathroom and massive wardrobes you find the double room, which can actually sleep 4 people with a double, single and an arm chair that turned into another single! So these rooms can sleep up to 6! The grounds are big and hilly, so maybe not suitable for people with mobility issues, but they are beautiful kept and the massive pine trees provide some well needed shade, however do hinder sunbathing round the pool as the sun goes behind them quite early, and leaves the pool in the shade throughout the day, but that didn't seem to bother the kids. There is still the 2 piers, 1 16+ only and beach area which are in the sun all day if sunbathing is top of your priorities. The hotel provide beach towels and I suggest going down early if you want longers round the pool as it was busy and the prime sun spots go quickly, this was only April and hotel not full so can only imagine what it would be like in the summer. The staff in the hotel were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help, especially round the pools and in the main bar areas. There were so many places to get food and drink at this hotel, we were never hungry or thirsty. The food was lovely and the teenagers enjoyed the food court which had pizzas and kebabs during the day. The main buffet was very busy and the queue in the evening could be quite long, so I wouldn't like to see it during summer, however the food was plentiful and there was lots of choice and it was always cooked well. The dessert choice was amazing and delicious, be prepared to gain a few pounds! If you want to work off the food and drink you can take a stroll into either Icemeler or Marmaris using the pathway along the sea. We didn't go into Icemeler but we walked into Marmaris twice and only took us about 20-30 mins to get right into the centre where there are an abundance of shops, pubs and restaurants. We got a taxi back on one of the days and it cost 200TL which is roughly £5. We were very impressed and very surprised with this hotel and would definitely return.

It is my first experience visiting Turkey, my kids are very happy! Staff are very friendly, at the swimming pool a roller skater guy - Berkay was very polite and brought us our drinks . We ate amazing lavash with cheese! The room is always clean and over all we had an amazing time, will definitely come back again!

Returned to the UK on 28th Oct after 2 brilliant weeks! Travelled as a family of 4 (our kids are 12 & 9) & stayed in a 2 bed family room, 777, which is away from the main building but had wonderful views of the sea & mountains. As others have said, this is one of the blocks that is dated & could do with being refurbished but on the whole, was comfortable. Note to the hotel, if you are planning to refurbish these rooms, the wardrobe space is great but additional drawers for storage would be really useful as we didn’t have enough room to unpack all of our clothes for a 2 week stay. The food at the hotel is to a high standard, yes a buffet can get a little repetitive after 2 weeks, but that would be the same any hotel. We enjoyed the food, it was hot, tasty & plentiful. The Turkish al a carte was excellent but we didn’t try the others. Ice cream was available from 12-5 everyday & the vanilla is one of the creamiest I’ve ever tasted & the pistachio was equally delicious! The kids loved the bubble tea & mocktails & the coffee shop does a great ice coffee (as well as cappuccinos, lattes etc) & the patisserie offers a good range of cookies & cakes. If you don’t want a buffet lunch the Pine Bar offers a sit down lunch which is served to you (and also takeaway), the menu is pizzas, burgers, chicken schnitzel, chicken wraps etc and agin, was really tasty! The wine offered was pretty good, I had a couple of glasses of rose with dinner & it was drinkable, not a nice Pinot blush by any means but it tasted ok! We had no issues getting sunbeds and opted to spend most days on the pier at the beach because the pool areas were too shady and the pools were too cold in our opinion, the sea was much warmer! And there are so many fish, the pier is a great place for snorkelling! We were lucky enough to see turtles most days & a seal even popped up one day! Only minor consideration if you sunbathe on the pier & beach is that it is a bit of walk back to the toilets. The location of the hotel was perfect for us, in between Marmaris & Icmeler & you can walk along to either resort from the hotel along a paved & mostly flat path which follows the beach so is a really nice walk & takes about half an hour to Marmaris & slightly less to Icmeler. If walking isn’t your thing or is too far then there is a taxi rank right outside the hotel & also a bus stop. We took the bus a number of times to both Marmaris & Icmeler & it was very easy & only 25 Lira each! You can get a green or orange bus into the towns but I was told only the orange buses bring you back to the hotel, so we followed that advice & had no problems but be prepared to stand as seats are limited. The buses will pick you up from anywhere, just flag them down if you can get to the next bus stop! We also took a boat trip directly from the hotel which was a full day trip 10-5 which was only £13 each including a chicken, pasta & salad lunch. Drinks & ice creams were additional but at reasonable cost but note you can’t

This is our 2nd visit in this hotel within 2 months and I had great stay. Great food, great staff in the restaurant especially at the bar. Very big thank you to Tommy and Cengo. Best lads. Thank you for your service and hospitality.

Excellent hotel everything you ever want, whole complex is spotless. All the staff are amazing nothing is to much trouble. Tommy and Cengiz are the perfect hosts and the best bar staff entertainers which makes everyone’s holiday so special. Definitely coming back.

the workers at the restaurant were absolutely amazing to me and my family. I would like to put a nice word in about umut, ferdi, emrre, havva and koray. They were all absolutely brilliant, so helpful and kind to me and my family.

The service from the bar staff was excellent especially cengo and Tommy they were very friendly and always happy and helpful and the table service was outstanding

We stayed here for a week all inclusive with our children. We had two bungalows side by side. The rooms were spacious as well as the bathrooms. The hotel is rather big but bars and snack bars within a short distance from one another The beach is located on the hotel with its own private jetty which offers variety of water sports to keep you entertained The food was great! Was soooo much to offer and soo much choice, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Taxi service at the top of the hotels entrance that will run you in to town. For us we visited Marmaris several times to the bizarres and grabbed a lot of moody gear. The weather was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and all we had met were really lovely
