Marbas Select Beach

Went last weeks in October found the hotel very shady no sun at all round the small pool lucky we had room at the front so got sun on the balcony would be different in the summer but on the beach but had to keep moving sunbeds for the sun. Dolmus bus stops right outside hotel to take you to marmaris and last stop on way back which was brilliant also could walk to boats and pay direct for trip no pick up needed so that was a good point. Staff friendly food good so we were happy with the hotel apart from the shade

Don't know where all the bad reviews come from. We spent a week here last week and we could not fault it. Food, location, room & staff were more than we could have hoped for the price we paid. Would definately go back. It was the end of season but weather was the icing on a delicious cake.

We arrived for a cheap getaway for some winter sun. This hotel was advertised as a 4* adults only hotel - this is NOT a 4* and not adults only as there were a few crying babies staying. We checked in and were taken to our room on the first floor which is best to be described as basic - it is what we expected for the price we paid. The room was fairly clean and towels were replenished daily and the bed was made up. The bathroom was basic but had a working shower and toilet. We went down to the “restaurant” to grab something to eat before heading out to explore the area. The food was awful and inedible- the “meat” was cold and salty, chips were stone cold and the salads looked like they had been sat out all day. The hotel did have a microwave you could use to heat up the “food”. Each meal time was the same and we ended up not eating a meal for the duration of our stay. During the afternoons you could grab a burger and chips from outside - again, awful and literally inedible - the burgers were cold and tasted like wet cardboard - avoid! The bar was outside and it’s the only bar in the hotel. The bar is manned by what can only be described as a letchy man - as a female he made me feel very uncomfortable ordering drinks so sent my husband for the remainder of our stay. The pool looked good but unfortunately was never used as the hotel is in the shade for the majority of the day along with the 10 sun-loungers. The hotel has a section of the beach opposite - this was vile! It was filthy and full of fag butts. The sun loungers are all crammed in leaving very little space in between people - like the hotel, the beach was also in the shade for the majority of the day - we ended up walking to a better beach around the corner “coco beach” which was fantastic and we loved Messi who served us drinks throughout the day. We had very low expectations of our stay and unfortunately the hotel, food and drinks were worse than expected. I wouldn’t stay here again and I would recommend people to avoid at all costs.
