Club Seray Forest

My wife, two children and I have just returned from a 10 day stay at the Seray Forest hotel in Marmaris. We thouroughly enjoy ourselves and were pleasantly surprised with how much Turkey had to offer. We booked a last minute deal so were not too sure what to expect but the All İnclusive hotel was lovely. Admittedly, it was at the top of a large hill, but the hotel offered a free shuttle service several times a day, and we enjoyed the few occasions we had to walk anyway.

The food was not bad, but we did feel that we had eaten more salad than we ever have in our lives!

We ate out a few times at some of the local restaurants down the hill, both Violets and Meeting Place were very nice. We had a few drinks in Mustis bar but it was very pricey so we didnt eat there, nice atmosphere though.

We enjoyed lots of days out during our stay, all booked with Nostradamus, opposite the bus station. They sent us on the Dalyan trip to the Turtle Island, where we saw ancient tombs, and indulged in the famous mud baths!

Also we visited Cleopatra Island which was definately my wifes favourite day, apart from the FREE shopping trip they gave us!!

The children absolutely LOVED the Jeep Safari, so much so that we booked it twice!!

Lastly we booked the All Inclusive boat trip which was such good value and a great great day.

You can get plenty of bargains in Marmaris, and also Icmeler market, but the locals can be quite hassly so be warned!!

All in all a fab holiday and we would definately return to Turkey!

Lovely clean hotel, staff really friendly. We were lucky to have a room with a pool view others were not so lucky, be warned. Had a really lovely meal first night so decided to go half board, not a good choice as there are loads of cheap restaurants down the road 5 mins away.

First class I would go again in the morning given the chance!

My holiday at Club Seray was the best one yet! I made lots of new friends and the staff were amazingly friendly. The only bad point was that it was quite far away from Marmaris centre but this was made easy by the doll buses, which were a great experience. Hope to visit again!

Fantastic, lovely clean hotel, great staff, lovely location, ideal holiday.

We tended to go on the excursions rather than stay in the hotel (Scuba diving, Jeep Safari, Water parks, Boat trips, Midnight cruise, Turtle beach). These trips are about £10 a head, and children in some cases go for half price, and they are fantastic value for money. Included in the price is pick up at the Club Seray Forest hotel in Marmaris at 09:00, breakfast, Lunch and drinks, including booze, and delivered back to your hotel at 17:00.

This is the second time we have been to Club Seray Forest in Marmaris, as we went last year at the same time, and I have two kids age 12 and 14. It is a bite out of the way, but what a view from the pool or balcony in the day time, and night is even better! You can see all over, right to the sea, and you are 3.5km from the beach, so you get a nice breeze; not like when you are in town, as it's too stuffy and sticky. There is a hill to go up if you walk from the town, and it's a killer if you have a buggy. There is a night club under the pool, which is a new thing. They have just done it this year, so it keeps the noise away from the rest of the hotel. There are also two pool tables in there, and full air conditioning to keep you cool.

We met some people last year, and they came back this year at the same time as us, and we now keep in contact, as our kids and their kids are good friends now. In fact, we have all booked to go at the same time next year. All I can say is it is a great place, and I recommend it, but it might not be for everyone. The great thing is there is never any trouble there, as the staff will just kick them out, so as not to upset the other guests. They have a security guard there for that purpose.

Our holiday to Club Seray Forest in Marmaris was one of our best holidays yet!! It was overall brilliant! Everyone was friendly and helpful, the place was the best, and we loved it!

Would I go to Club Seray Forest in Marmaris again? NO!

It was the longest two weeks of my life, and I couldn't wait to get home.

Lack of entertainment, greasy food, dirty pool, attitude of staff, poorly serviced rooms, lack of cooking facilities and expensive air con that was rubbish.

My overall review of Club Seray Forest in Marmaris is that it was quite hygienic apart from all the wasps and insects around the pool bar and near the verandas. The hotel has a lot of nice scenery if you look forward, but at the sides it looks like there is a scrap yard. Apart from all that, the pool and the rooms are very nice and comfortable.
