    Good Points: Friendly locals, lots of sightseeing opportunities, cheap to eat out, lovely weather


    Bad Points: Hassle!


    General comments: I stayed at The Royal Plaza this August for 2 weeks.
    Truthfully, it is not very Royal, but it is not as bad as I thought it would be from reading some of the reviews.
    The rooms are basic, but our sheets and towels were changed every 3 days, which is more often than I do them at home!
    The staff were all very helpful, especially the little girl on reception, work experience I think! The bar manager, was also particularly lovely. Very helpful, always smiling, and never cheeky with our bar tab!
    The pool area was well maintained, with plenty of Lilos and bouncy aids for those who are not good swimmers. The baby pool was very small though.
    I wouldn't recommend the breakfast, it was really quite unpleasant but there are plenty of restaurants around to choose from.
    We ate at Violets, directly opposite, quite a few times. All their meals were very nice and extremely reasonable.
    We also ate at Carols bar, around the corner to the right of the hotel, and their food was great too.
    We tried Mustis after being recommended but found it VERY expensive. They advertised the breakfast as being 1.90 GBP which should have been around 4.75 ytl but on the bill it came to 6 ytl. They also charge 15 ytl for 2 fantas! When you compare this to 5 ytl in Violets you can see how expensive they are!
    We had some lovely days out with Nostradamus Travel, just underneath our hotel. Enjoyed two beautiful boat trips with them, great for our tans! We were also recommended by everyone to do the Jeep Safari, and it was the best day of our holiday! We laughed so hard, all day, and got such a lovely tan in the open top jeeps, not to mention a lovely cool breeze all day. It was a way for us to see the real, uncommercialised Turkey and I would advise everyone to try it.
    We didn't think to much of Marmaris beach as you had to pay for everything and there was always somebody hassling you to buy something. Icmeler was a short bus ride away, orange bus, I think, and that had a much nicer beach.
    Nightlife was good, Club Arena being our favorite place in Bar Street. We also went to the Beach Front clubs a few times, number 3 blue bus, and that was more chilled out than Bar Street.
    Hope you enjoy your holiday as much as we did!
