Enjoyed out sıde the hotel stay away form thıs hotel

Was looking forward to staying in this place as had seen from other websites that it had been done up. What a joke! If thats the new improved version I dread to think what it was like before! Yea the paintwork was new but inside it was pretty manky. Our bedding wasnt changed all week, we had to pester the staff for towels, but they got their own back by pestering us to eat and drink by the pool all the time!

We still had a good holiday though, theres loads to see and do in Marmaris, even though we weren in the heart of it.

We booked trips with the agency downstairs under the hotel with the English girl, katy, who was lovely. Turkish bath was the best way to start our holiday, and we went to Turtle beach, Jeep safari and all inclusive boat trip too. She even gave us a free trip for booking stuff too!

We had fridges in our room but the staff wouldnt let us take anything inside so we ate out every night. We liked Violets over the road from the hotel for breakfast as they were also a bakery and it smely lush every morning. We ate down the town every night as the buses were so handy to take you down there. Theres tons of places to choose from but we can highly recommend O Yes for their steaks and pizzas.

All in all we had a great stay but I cant say much for Mustis Royal Plaza.

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!
