We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here. The hotel was beautiful, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. A special thank you goes to the animation team — they were absolutely amazing! Their energy, kindness, and enthusiasm made every day more fun. They worked so hard to keep everyone entertained, with great activities, games, shows, and positive vibes. They made guests feel included and created such a happy atmosphere around the hotel. You could really see their passion and dedication. Thank you for making our holiday more memorable. We truly appreciate all the effort you put in and we hope to see you again!

Avoid This Hotel – Terrible Management, Extortion, and Noise! ​Our stay here was an absolute nightmare from the moment we arrived. We checked in with our kids at 12:30 AM, only to be met by an incredibly rude receptionist who essentially extorted us for a bribe. He openly hinted that he wouldn't let us into our room early unless we paid him under the table. After rejecting a $5 bill, he only handed over the keys once we gave him €10. ​This pay-to-play attitude is everywhere. Waiters completely ignore you unless you tip them €2 upfront, and the bellhops use aggressive, fake politeness just to squeeze cash out of you. ​The food is awful—overly spiced, packed with onions and herbs, and entirely repetitive. If you have children, expect them to eat nothing but plain pasta, pizza, and potatoes every day. On top of that, the atmosphere is chaotic. Drunk guests shout in the hallways all night with zero intervention from staff, and the hotel ran loud, disruptive construction drilling throughout the day. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about hospitality.

We’ve had a fantastic stay at Eftalia Marin. From start to finish, Azat made our holiday extra special — genuinely one of the best hosts we’ve ever had anywhere. Friendly, helpful, always smiling, and nothing was ever too much trouble. If Türkiye was full of people like Azat, we’d come back every single year! The hotel itself was also the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. Everywhere was spotless all day long, and the speed the staff work at clearing tables, tidying up, and keeping the hotel looking immaculate is honestly second to none. No matter what time of day it was, everything always looked fresh, clean, and well looked after. The food court on the island is an absolute must-visit, and the water park was brilliant for all ages. We also tried the Mexican à la carte restaurant and absolutely loved it — easily one of the best meals of the holiday. A little tip for anyone staying here: the premium/paid alcohol is noticeably stronger, but the main lobby bar serves bottled Efes from early evening until 11pm, which was a great bonus and definitely worth taking advantage of. Overall, everyone in our group had an amazing time. Great atmosphere, loads to do, amazing staff, and memories we’ll all keep. We’d happily recommend Eftalia Marin to anyone considering a holiday in Turkey.

The staff were friendly, and the hotel itself was lovely. The food was good, with the steakhouse being a real highlight. There were also plenty of fun activities to keep both adults and children entertained throughout our stay. The only significant downside was the beach and the sea, which were very dirty. Since the beach is shared with three other hotels, I understand this isn’t entirely within the hotel’s control. However, it would be great to see a more proactive effort to keep the water cleaner—for example, by installing floating barriers or nets to help collect debris before it reaches the shore.
