Great location, spacious room, minimalistic but practical, great panoramic views both for the sea and city. I stayed here for the second time. Plenty of restaurants, cafes, breakfast places, Microcenter just opposite the hotel. I didn’t try spa, but I saw the spa menu: very impressive.

I recently stayed at The Marmara Antalya in Room 2007 and had a genuinely lovely experience overall. The hotel has a calm, boutique feel and is kept spotlessly clean throughout. My room was comfortable and bright, and the sea view was absolutely incredible — waking up to the Mediterranean and the dramatic cliffs was something I looked forward to every morning. The pool area was fantastic: peaceful, modern, and perfect for relaxing. The hotel’s private beach area was even better — truly stunning, with crystal‑clear water and beautifully maintained platforms. It felt quiet, exclusive, and far nicer than many larger resort beaches. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of fresh options and a particularly good omelette station, which made mornings feel a bit special. Dinner was more limited — the buffet night felt a bit restricted, and the half‑board menu didn’t offer many choices — but the quality was still perfectly fine. There was also lots of free bottled water available, which was a really nice touch and very convenient in the Antalya heat. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and I felt well looked after throughout my stay. The only small frustrations were being asked for a large cash deposit at check‑in (which wasn’t resolved, so I paid for drinks directly), and the bathroom feeling a little dated, with a bright red curtain over the bath that looked a bit out of place. I also needed to stay an extra night, and the hotel quoted £270 for the room only, while Trivago was offering the same room with half board included for £164. In the end, it was much cheaper to book the extra night online, so future guests may want to check booking sites before extending their stay directly with the hotel. Despite a few minor quirks, I left very happy with my stay. The Marmara offers a clean, calm, beautifully located boutique experience with an amazing sea view, a great pool, and a stunning beach area. I would happily return.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of variety and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavour. The pool was fantastic – large, clean, refreshing, and perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful sea view that made our stay even more special. Waking up to that view every morning was amazing. What truly made our experience exceptional was the staff. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. A special thank you to Mesut, who looked after us every day with such professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. His friendly attitude and excellent service made us feel genuinely cared for and added a personal touch to our holiday. We created some lovely memories here and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with outstanding service. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so special – we hope to return again in the future!

Best place I’ve ever been. The service was so nice. I love this place. I don’t know how to say it wise your brain like for happiness. It’s hard to describe. It’s hard to translate, but it’s like you were synapsis in your brain rewire. I’m so ready for work! And on the beach there is a girl so kindful so nice her name is Eylul thank you everyone

Another wonderful stay at the enchanting The Marmara Antalya hotel - the latest of many over the years. My thanks to reservations manager Mehmet Duydu, front desk staff Gökhan and Görkem, night manager Mert (who welcomed me by my name on arrival even before I said a word) and everyone else whose dedication, unfailing professionalism and impeccable service make staying here so very special. The Marmara is a soothing sanctuary the moment you step in through the raspberry-pink entrance. This family-owned hotel has for decades maintained the same level of exceptional service and the same staff members welcome you year after year - a rare feat in Turkey let alone elsewhere. The design is avant-garde and feels fresh more than two decades on with bright pastel rooms and wall-to-wall huge windows capturing the unique Mediterranean light. Also worth mentioning: Turkish gastronomy and an exceptional breakfast buffet, spa and hamam with massage treatments in the expert hands of Cinta, an Olympic size pool plus sea access and sprawling green lawns with lush local flora and landscaped pathways framing the sea view. But for our family The Marmara is so much more: a much-loved hotel that holds treasured memories and has become part of our personal story over the years. Thank you for everything, can’t wait to be back :)

I’ve stayed in many five-star hotels, and unfortunately this was one of my most disappointing experiences. In my opinion, this property feels much closer to a three-star hotel than a true five-star resort. The problems began on arrival. We had two heavy suitcases, but the entrance has stairs and no ramp, and nobody offered to help us. The carpeted corridors made it difficult to move our luggage, and despite the non-smoking policy, the hallways smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I was also surprised to find that there is no concierge service at all. Although the room itself was not small, the layout was impractical. There was no proper wardrobe, only a hanging rail with an awkwardly high shelf, so I ended up living out of my suitcase on the floor for the entire stay. Even the safe was installed almost at floor level, requiring us to kneel on the cold tiles every time we used it. Room-service meals arrived on trays rather than trolleys, leaving us with no comfortable place to dine. Housekeeping: about the cleaning service… It felt as though the staff simply followed a routine instead of paying attention to what the room actually needed. There were two of us staying in the room, yet if we used one towel, they would simply add two more clean towels rather than replace only the used one. Soon we had three clean towels for two guests. The same happened with toiletries: because we preferred our own shampoo and conditioner, new bottles were added daily until we had accumulated around eight conditioners. We did not need more products—we needed thoughtful service. There was no rinsing cup in the bathroom, so I took one of the tea cups in there. Days passed without it being replaced, leaving us with no clean cups for tea or coffee until I called reception. I even left the room intentionally untidy one day to see how thoroughly it would be cleaned. The bed was made, but the iron cord remained exactly where I had left it, a half-finished bottle of water and a dirty glass were still there, and the sink clearly had not been cleaned. Hygiene in the restaurant was another concern. Birds regularly flew inside and landed on tables, and I saw insects on and around the fresh figs. The spa was also inconveniently located: towels had to be collected there each time, with only one provided per person. The changing area consisted of a tiny, unventilated wooden cabin with no private showers, so I ended up returning to my room to change and shower. To be fair, breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection and attentive staff. In fact, the only reason we did not move to another hotel was the diving center. It is independently operated, conveniently located, and staffed by genuinely wonderful people—which may explain why the service there was so much better than in the hotel itself. Overall, the reality fell far short of the photos and reviews that convinced us to book. I would not return, nor would I recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a genuine five-star experience in Antalya.

Really nice hotel, friendly staff, reasonable prices for food and drink. If you booked through Love Holidays, beware the tour guide! He will try to convince you to book onto very expensive excursions that are much cheaper if you book them yourself. Most of his information was wrong too, including the times for specific events (we missed a show at Land of Legends after he told us the wrong times and wasted our evening). Always check how far away things are, he claimed a spa was 15 minutes drive away, when it was an hour.
