VERY Disappointing Return Visit . This was our 2nd visit to Casa De Maris and sadly our last Prior to arriving contacted hotel to arrange a high floor the hotel honoured request. Sadly the hotel and its standards have taken a massive drop . Breakfast .: Huge cut back on types of melon ( just water melon available ) Breakfast : No fresh berries/kiwi/pineapple/strawberries/blueberries./raspberries Lunch Pool: No chicken wraps / fresh cook wedges ( now frozen chips + chicken skewers) - The wraps & wedges were delicious so disappointed they've gone ! Ice Cream Daily : You had to order from waiter and wait for a bowl not help yourself Dinners : OH GAWD ! iF YOU LOVE CASSEROLES ( Luke Warm ) you will be in heaven Note : Think chicken / turkey constantly ( lack of beef / veal / chicken breast / steak ) Fish : Watch out full of bones. No nice fresh fish ie Sea Bass / Sea Bream / Swordfish ( unless you can get at A La Carte 1 per stay ). Careful eating those little fish Italian Attempt : The Canneloni was like sludge it was terrible Offerings : Chicken in breadcrumbs / fish in breadcrumbs Rice : NO BULGER RICE ( I love it ) white rice only offered no basmati/pilau Bulger Balls : I managed to get them once during my stay ( I ate out 4 nights ) Mince : Yes that's offered in a variety of ways quite often - but you get sick of it ! Vegetables : Lack of variety to go with a meal ( often broccoli & mashed potato ) Skewers : Chicken/Turkey skewers + baked potatoes are ok, but do you want to be eating this for 14 nights ? ( 5 Star Hotel remember ) BBQ Grill : AWFUL. Mince meat balls or mince patties, grilled peppers, chicken wings Oh yes CHICKEN SKEWERS again ....3 trays offered LACK OF CHOICE VERY POOR Soups ; Hit and miss if piping hot ( lots of tomato soup on offer thruout our stay ) Drinks : Baileys ( Not The Real Stuff & Tasted Horrid / Captains Morgan ( Gone ! ) Room : Cheap Coffee / Powdered Milk Drinks : No bottled beer - just draft Drinks : Not much choice if you need diet drinks Bottled Water : Small bottles ( reduced in size from previous stay ) Ice Lollies : None Available Vavey still works extremely hard to keep all guests hydrated. Beach Bar Man ) Vavey and Sinan, Enis, Selhattin top guys who excelled in their service . Zeynep our room cleaner was AMAZING and made beautiful swans etc and was a total delight to speak to each day she was soooo lovely. Miss her. Entertainment : If you LOVE Bingo, Quizzes, Karaoke this is the place for you ! Sundays : No entertainment at all. Bingo on several times a week - eek not for me! Entertainment : Ha they advertise the Drifters Band ( 4 Guys ) - You get 1 Man and 2 Ladies singing ( they were ok ) - but no Drifters songs ? Eh Daytime Music : Can be blasting at times and I mean BLASTING ( I don't think Casa de Maris has got their vibe quite correct - it's like Ibiza during the day / Old Folks Home @ night - but each to their own huh. Entertainment Team : Work hard try to include in daytime games if you wish and take you clubbing at night sometimes if you wish in Bar Street ( payable think £10) Sorry Casa De Maris, your staff are great, hotel lovely, location perfect BUT to meet 5 star standards you MUST improve greatly.to retain a 5 star rating - it's not in my own personal opinion. Sadly, other returning guests I spoke to felt the same way which is sad. I worked for Thomson / TUI overseas for several years + also worked in Turkey amongst several other countries so am clued up as to what to expect or not to expect.. I'm well travelled and have stayed in many many 5 star hotels worldwide. I was so looking forward to this holiday and sadly this year wasn't for me (Laura) or my partner ( Ian ) from Edinburgh, Scotland. I wish you all the best to you and your staff for the remainder of the season.
