Package Marmaris Reviews

Stayed at the Grand Hotel Ideal during the first week of May. The hotel is very impressive and the rooms are of adequate size for two people. The staff are fantastic, very helpful and friendly. The food wasn't five star though and there were some weird combinations ie cauliflower for breakfast! Don't expect bacon and sausage for breakfast either, although the choices otherwise were fine. The kids "buffet" consisted of chips and spag bol every evening. The entertainer in the evening was very poor and there was nothing at all for kids to do. During 7 days there was only 3 nights of entertainment which was Turkish Dancing, break dancing and dancing girls. Fine if you like watching dancing! The Thomas Cook rep was a really nice girl. The centre of Marmaris is a good 25 mins walk away although the dolmus stops outside the hotel. Marmaris itself is excellent and there is loads to do. The Talk of the Town is a must see show, a great night out. We went to Ephesus and on the scuba diving trip, all recommended. Although there were some negatives we had a great time and would go again. Oh and yes the hotel had been refurbished beautifully but some of the steps on the ground floor, especially round the pool and lobby, were lethal and there were quite a few falls during the week and one lady broke her ankle.
