Eftalia Marin

We came to the Marin for a week with our 2 year old. On arrival we to a swim up duplex 2 floor 2 bedrooms for £300 on arrival, the standard swim up was £150 but wasnt available. But we were actually really glad for the extra space and bedroom for our daughter. Even had a place to put the buggy near the stairs. The rooms were very clean and easy, the swim up aspect made our week. The cleaners were good and came daily restocking the fridge. Onto the food, after reading reviews we were worried but I actually can't agree with anything negative. The choice was excellent, huge restaurant room with different themes also every other night. Bars easy to get to, no queuing. There was a nice cocktail bar outside too, prices reasonable as these aren't included but we knew that upon booking. I loved that there are juice machines (like squash) everywhere you can fill up reusable cups or they have little plastic cups, so it wasnt just fizzy drinks. Food was available at different parts of the hotel at all times of day. The food was fresh and a great variety. Staff were constantly cleaning everything everywhere so the resort was very clean. Sunbed wise we could always get one at different points of the day. As so many people flock to the island during the day the hotel itself felt quiet compared to what I expected. You can get pool towels each day from the spa area. One thing we only discovered last day was gorgeous twister ice lollies at the main pool food area around lunchtime. The island was fantastic, the marin is super close just a 2 min walk. There was so much entertainment the holiday just felt so easy. Our 2 year old loved the toddler slide and splash areas, once again no issues with sunbeds. The water switches off at 12-1 as this is when people flock to the food court which was very impressive, there were booths with everything you could want for lunch and a bar there too. Plenty of bars on the island. We didnt stay up past 9ish as we had our little one wanting to go to bed but the entertainment looked great. All in all we couldnt fault the holiday, it felt easy, just as a holiday should. My only issue came with them not providing milk as the all inclusive, our daughter still likes to drink milk before bed and the fridge in room is more a cooler so doesnt keep milk cold. But that's very personal to us. All I can say is dont be put off by reviews, we would 100% return! And easy family holiday

Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel is always clean and tidy. Food available all day between different locations, late breakfast option at burgerland and the pool bar is open until 6:30 when the main restaurant opens. Always food for the children such as chicken nuggets & fries. Short walk to the island which has plenty of water slides & a beach. Plenty to do, would definitely return.

came as a family of 4 2 teens and 2 adults had a amazing time....the food was good loved the hotel it was clean and the staff was always friendly we will defiently be back next year.

First time in Turkey, stayed at the Eftalia Marin hotel. The rooms were very clean, the staff are very friendly with the children. Good range of drinks in the all inclusive and the food was good. The Island with the pools were very clean and snacks bars were excellent too.

This hotel is a 3 star hotel at best. The all inclusive is definitely not all inclusive, no one explains to you how it all works. Is very loud everywhere you go, no place to relax. Unless you get up at 7am to put a towel down on the sunbeds you won’t be able to find a free one. The only thing included in the all inclusive is food, warm water that they get out of the fridge and leave on the side so you can help yourself to it which most of the time is warm. When I asked the staff why the water is left out and not kept in the fridge I was told the boss said to leave it out. You can get free coffee And free soft drinks And watered down beers. Everything else you have to pay for. We got someone from the staff coming up to us asking us about the experience at the hotel, and what we would rate it from 1 to 5 and when we said 3 she just went OH and walked away. Every thing you try to do or get here is a ripoff, the shops, the bars everything. Even for kids ice cream you have to pay for. Staff chasing you around trying to sell you the drinks you have already paid for, when you pay for all inclusive you expect everything to be included. I understand the branded drinks you need to pay a little something towards it but not here, here most things you have to pay for although you have already payed once. Do not book your day outs from the representative at the hotel as you will be charged double the price to what it actually costs online, we booked a safari day out and we was told everything was included at every attraction we went we had to pay, when you ask for an explanation from the staff they will tell you they don’t know. So you either pay or miss out. We booked 10 days here and have regretted it so much. It is boring it is loud. This has really made us think about future holidays in turkey. AND WE DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE RETURNING BACK TO THIS HOTEL. The people here are very dishonest.

We stayed at Eftalia Marin Hotel in Antalya, Turkey (Room 1537) and unfortunately, our experience didn’t meet expectations. After reading a mix of reviews, we gave it a chance — but sadly, we won’t be returning to this hotel chain. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt the lack of warmth and attentiveness you’d expect from a so-called 5-star hotel.
