One of the most eligent hotels I have visited. A lovely country, the hotel is situated in Turkey's most popular town. Marmaris. The hotel is spectacular and great for all ages, read my review below:
~~~~~~~~~Who I booked with?~~~~~~~~~ We were looking through a travel brochure from Thomas Cook. We liked the thought of going to Turkey for a holiday when we saw how nice the sights and the hotels looked. We were looking at Marmaris hotels. Marmaris is one of Turkey's most popular tourist destinations. It is close to a lot of things. The reason we chose this particular hotel is because of the wide range of facilities and different things for all ages to take part in and enjoy their holiday. The advertisement of the Club Cettia Hotel in our eyes stood out from the other hotels. The pictures on the page looked lovely. The list of activities for adults and children really caught my eye. The list was full of great activities. The page was clearly layed out full of pictures, activities, things nearby etc. A very nice advertisement of this spectacular hotel.
~~~~~~~~~Why I chose this hotel?~~~~~~~~~ We would not normally pick a hotel like this, but this Marmaris hotel stood out from the rest. The page was so hard to turn after looking at it in the Thomas Cook book. The hotel was listed as having such great facilities and entertainment for all ages. Young to old. The page included pictures to give us an idea of what to expect. In our family, we have a young child who likes socializing with other children at their age. The kids club that was featured would have been a great idea too.
~~~~~~~~~How many times have I been?~~~~~~~~~ We have not only visited this hotel once, but also another time. We visited once, and two years later after another holiday decided to visit again. We found that more features to the hotel had been added which was great. There was a pool slide that had been added to the pool. This was a very popular feature at the hotel but did not ruin the fun of others who just wanted to swim.
~~~~~~~~~What is the hotel close to?~~~~~~~~~ The hotel is quite close to other places to visit. Nearby, there are several shops which sell fruit vegetables sweets postcards cigarettes etc. The shop prices were quite cheap, cheaper than what you would pay in the UK. The hotel does have a small shop inside the hotel which sells swimming accessories, sweets, stamps, etc. The hotel does have a bar too. But if you prefer a change of scenery - then there are several bars nearby. If you check out a map at the hotel or ask staff or travel staff - they will probably tell you the best places to go and the ones which are easy to get to. The prices of alcoholic drinks are a little bit cheaper than in the UK. There are restaurants in loads of different places in Marmaris. There are loads. different types of foods and styles. Most suitable for children to eat in. The prices are very cheap and there is even a restaurant a few seconds away which is called the "Elvis Restaurant". Here, they play Elvis music, dress as Elvis, and Elvis membrobelia, photos and other information on Elvis. Even though I have not heard much of Elvis' music - I enjoyed the resturant and finding out about him. This would be a place to check out if you visited this hotel. There are many different places such as shops etc in Marmaris.
~~~~~~~~~Traveling around?~~~~~~~~~ Getting around the town is easy. Quite safe too. If you have rented a car then you can park your car at a car park. There is hardly any parking meters in Marmaris which is different the UK parking. There is a car park at the hotel, which is 2 minutes walking from the car park to the hotel. If you don't have a car then you can call up for a yellow Turkish taxi. The prices are fair and reasonable. You will not get ripped off. It is best to ask a member of the staff at the hotel for some details of the prices. The taxi staff are quite funny and polite. If you don't want to fork out quite a lot of money for a taxi, especially if you have a big family, buses travel past the hotel every few minutes. The bus is so cheap, and does not fail in service. The buses go around the town and past the markets. All you need to do is press the stop button to get off. The bus we went on was 1 Million Lira per person. It did not matter about how far you were traveling. Don't fear.. 1 million lira does not sound as much as you think. 1 million lira is equivalent to £0.48. This is so cheap for a bus, especially if you choose where you stop. This did not cover return. We did use taxis sometimes.
~~~~~~~~~Facilities at the hotel?~~~~~~~~~ Another reason we chose this hotel is for the facilities. There were quite a lot on offer. Most of them were included in the price of your stay, but some you had to pay extra for. I thought this was reasonable. Most hotels in the UK would charge for all features such as massages etc. There is an outdoor pool, and an indoor pool. Indoors, is also a jaquizi which is quite deep. Smaller people may not find use for this. The indoor pool, and outdoor pool is around 120cm deep at the shallow end, and 190 at the deep end. Kids use these pools but the indoor pool is not used by kids and children as much as the outdoor pool. Outdoors a few meters from the big pool is a toddlers pool. There is a big fountain in the middle of the pool which is an additional fun feature. The pool is around 4 meters x 4 meters and around 30 centimeters deep. There is a sauna inside. There is an age limit, and people must be over the age of sixteen to use this. I'm sure you'd get a spectacular tan without the sauna anyway, without even trying. There are also kids clubs which are run 3 - 4 times a day with different time slots. This is free, and included in the price of your stay. The usual medical forms, contact telephone numbers will have to be filled in for safety. These are to name a few of the many many features during the day. At night is also entertainment with staff, and the guests. Spoof game shows, discos live on the outdoor stage, funny games for kids and the adults. Prizes of alcoholic drinks for the night is also fun, also more prizes. This is to mention a few.
~~~~~~~~~How to relax?~~~~~~~~~ A holiday is for relaxation. This hotel is all about relaxing and having a fun time at the same time. There are loungers all around th pool (as you can see in the pictures). These are quite good, as they are suitable for all shapes and sizes. Kids and adults. If you do not fancy a day by the pool, then if you have a balcony in your room then this could be used for having a quick sleep or just bathing in the Turkish sun. Some like to work out while on holiday. The gym is complete with exercising bbikes, treadmills, weights and rowers. This is quite a big gym. There are massages for all ages. You could even enjoy a Turkish bath, or even a mud bath. The mud baths really do help your skin. Just make sure there are no cameras around while doing this. ;) There are other ways to relax too. Details can be found on the hotel's website at www.cettia.com
~~~~~~~~~What are the staff like?~~~~~~~~~ The staff are wonderfully. This includes the maids, receptionists, tourist staff, cleaners, waiters, etc.? They are always happy to help and speak fantastic English, and Turkish. They are happy to give opinions on great places to go, visit and see. Like bars, clubs, beaches etc. The list goes on.
~~~~~~~~~How clean is the hotel?~~~~~~~~~ The hotel is very clean. The staff are always around the pools to make sure no excess water is left on the floor for anyone to slip or fall on. The hotel is very, very safe. The staff are always there to make sure none of the other staff or visitors get hurt.
~~~~~~~~~How to enjoy your stay?~~~~~~~~~ The best way to enjoy your stay in my opinion is to not always stay at the hotel. A few trips here are there is fun too. The trips may be exhausting but they will be worth it. There are so many great place to visit in Marmaris such as the markets and Turkish bazaars. Trips are also outside of Marmaris too. You can visit some of the great cities, towns and villages. You can even go outside of Turkey too. We had a great time visiting Rhodes while in Turkey. Safe and secure journey there and back. We arrives safely back to our hotel with no delays. The way we planned our holiday was to spend two days at the pool and hotel, and then one trip, then two days at the hotel etc. We found this was a good way to enjoy time here, and at other places too without getting bored. Kids enjoy the trips too.
~~~~~~~~~Food?~~~~~~~~~ The breakfast at the hotel is amazing. The variety is outstanding. There is a buffet, so you can eat how much you like, and how much of each you like. There is cooked bacon, sausages eggs, a lot of cooked food. Or you can have yogurt, many different types, fruit like melon oranges raisins, grapes. There is so much to choose from. You can choose to eat any meal outside or inside.
For lunch, you can order food from the bar or from one of the mini restaurants near the pool which is called "The Lighthouse. From here you can order special salads which are full of goodness. Pizzas, chips. Anything you desire. The good thing about the hotel food is the variety. The hotel has the biggest variety of food I have ever seen at a hotel.
For dinner you can have another buffet, at the same place as the breakfast is. The same amount of food but with cooked seasoned chicken, exceptional rice with many different flavored. Cooked vegetables with dips and herbs. Deserts like cake, gateaux, fruit, melon, and much much more. Snacks during the day?
~~~~~~~~~The bar?~~~~~~~~~
The bar serves food like chips and pizza. The best thing about the bar is the wide range of drinks, soft and alcoholic. The bar never runs out of drinks. The cocktails are very cheap and of a high-quality. These are very popular with the tourists.
~~~~~~~~~What was the room like?~~~~~~~~~ There are different rooms. Some have one double bed, two smaller. Two king, one smaller. One king. Or three smaller, one king. There are many different rooms to cater for the amount you are taking to this hotel. A rough price estimation can be found on the hotel's website. www.cettia.com
~~~~~~~~~Price of hotel?~~~~~~~~~ We had four people going on holiday to this lovely Marmaris hotel in Turkey. Two adults, and two children. The price was £27 per person, per night. Prices get cheaper for the longer you stay. Discounts are included when more people come with you, or if you had been before. This hotel is always thinking of the visitor, and providing great service and price.
~~~~~~~~~Overall?~~~~~~~~~ Overall. I enjoyed this hotel so much that we went twice. I want to go again and I can't wait. It is such an amazing hotel which always looks after their guests. You would not be disappointed.
~~~~~~~~~What could be better about the hotel? ~~~~~~~~~ I think the gym equipment could be improved. This many not have been thought of as there may have not been many people using the gym.
Thank you for reading. If you do choose to stay at the Cettia hotel, or want more information - do not hesitate to contact me.
