Marmaris Bay Resort - Sep 24 The location is lovely built around original standing trees and with stunning views across the harbour and yacht marina for lunch and dinner. The ‘relax pool’ is exactly as the name suggests with bar and toilets close by - nice. Upon arrival at 11pm we had to wait an hour to get a golf trolley lift to our room, with no offer of refreshments - not great after a day of travelling. The site is quaint, almost ‘Lilliputian’ or ‘pixie’ like, built into natural hills but with very steep, uneven steps and decidedly precarious wooden handrails. Signage to rooms is almost non existent and confusing to say the least, particularly in the dark with mostly unlit, uneven, rickety steps - unsafe tbh. The main restaurant, buffet style, is only ok with a similar menu every sitting. There was a constant struggle for cups, and tea spoons and salt pots were always empty despite regular reporting. While ‘our’ waiter, Ahmet, was great, friendly and helpful, generally uniforms for male staff were dirty and scruffy. The fish restaurant ‘Zest’ is in the most beautiful setting, on a pier overlooking the harbour, and the food was lovely - thank you. I never saw any maintenance being undertaken and garden areas and footpaths were unkempt, dirty and scruffy. Cleaning, and room service, were only adequate and decor was distinctly shabby. The evening entertainment was very average, though I’m not one for loud music. Because there are no outside walls there was the ever pervading smell of cigarette smoke throughout the main restaurant, bar building. We used the water taxi across the bay into Marmaris, which we enjoyed. We also booked two trips but made our own way back from the first ‘hard sell’ in various shops in Marmaris centre. We subsequently cancelled the second planned trip. Our ‘rep’ ‘Angela’ was helpful. Would we return; very doubtful.
