Elite World Marmaris Hotel

PROS: The hotel itself is lovely, the staff are friendly and they couldn't do enough for you - there was a good variety of food, the hotel is a short walk from the beach. CONS: There is a VERY loud, noisy bar (shake bar) next door, if you're unlucky enough to get a room opposite this be prepared for loud music/DJ until 00:30. Could be heard with the door closed and wearing ear plugs. We spoke to reception and requested a move, we upgraded to a sea view room (at extra cost) as the other alternative was a room facing the main room which staff suggested may not be any quieter. The bar is a real determent to what otherwise is a great hotel.

The eliteworld is a beautiful hotel, in a perfect location everything is there for you for the most perfect stay. The staff are so helpful and friendly and can’t do enough to help you. The pool is just the right size not too big and not too small and it’s heaven getting in when it’s so hot. The hotel is so clean and the rooms are lovely. The food and drinks were really nice too. We had a brilliant time and we enjoyed it that much we booked up for next year.

This hotel has been very cleverly marketed to give the impression of a high class "elite" hotel. We booked this trip with friends who had never been to Turkey before, hoping to show them what a lovely region it is. We paid a little more than we wanted to as the photographs and description made this stand out as something special. WOW - How wrong were we? The choice of food was very limited and the hot dishes were at best lukewarm. The restaurant manager was telling people to put food (including chicken and rice) in to the microwave if they were not happy. Three out of the four of us got sickness and diarrhoea withing hours of our first meal. The real eye opener was towards the end of our stay when we decided to risk a fresh pizza from the snack bar. The "chef" came over after finishing his cigarette, did not was his hands and proceeded to prepare our snack. The food preparation area was swarming with flies, but rather than clean the area, he shook flour over it (and the flies) and carried on rolling the doh, as if it was perfectly acceptable. At one point he even picked a fly out of the pizza base and flicked it away. At this point I gestured and asked the chef to stop. He was oblivious and just continued. I went straight to the guest relations lady in reception to let her know that this was unacceptable, but she seemed unshocked. Other, less worrying aspects of the contrast between advertised and reality included wines, beers and cocktails being served in cardboard coffee cups, the indoor bar and a la carte restaurant being completely closed and a general look of tiredness to the hotel rooms and bathroom.

It is one of the best hotels in İçmeler with an all-inclusive concept. The food is especially amazing. I would like to thank the chef, especially the sales manager Mrs Seçil and the waiter Mr Saygın for their attention. All the staff are friendly, everything is delicious and of high quality... We'll be coming back..

I had a wonderful stay at The Elite Hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Upon arrival my room was upgraded. Thank you Zozan 🙏 Big shout out to Saygin who was my personal Turkish tea provider ☺️ The food was delicious, and the hotel was spotless — you can tell they really care about cleanliness and comfort. Thank you also to ‘Jimmy’ for my special cocktails 🍸 It was a very relaxing and restful stay. Just what I needed. Thank you Elite.
