| said: Hi, i have just come back from this hotel today and it was the worst holiday i have had in 9 years of visiting marmaris. From our rooms there was money, clothes, underwear and towles taken, by whom we dont know but suspect the cleaners. this hotel has very little entertainment unless you entertain yourselves. the staff behind the bar (Sam and Sehan) were very nice and funny, this is th eonly good thing about this hotel. i would advice anyone booking to go to this hotel not to, go somewhere better for the same money, there are better places out there, believe me i stayed in them.

| said: All the staff were friendly and hard working. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Bedding and towels were grey and stained but were changed regulary. The food was always hot and well cooked and the bar staff were friendly at any hour, The pool area was extremely slippery so wear shoes around the pool as both my daughter and husband slipped and hurt theirselves tho thankfully not badly. The best restaurant we found nearby was the Piccadilly exellent food staff and prices!

| said: If any single females are thinking about booking to go to these apartments in summer 2008 then I would advise against it. Having been to Marmiras on three other occasions I know for a fact that there is better and safer accomodation available than these unclean dumps. Couples and familes who were at the Olive apartments at the same time as us didn't seem to have a problem but my friend and I were constantly being pestered by male employees, when we rejected them they didn't take it well and were rude to us on every occasion after that, they made us feel very unsafe and uncomfortable. The experience we had has put me of returning to Marmiras or even Turkey again. Planning on going somewhere more civilised in the future.

I stayed at Olive for 2 weeks with my partner and my daughter 14yrs on Aug 20th-4th sep 07.
The rooms were very pleasant and the staff were brilliant especially bar staff at pearl bar Sam and Jemo they loved a laugh and joke with the guests they made the place.
I would recommend if you want a pleasant atmosphere then go to Olive.
I liked it so much I’m going back next year with a few friends.
Sam and Jemo were a hit with the families staying there, as they are really down to earth not like most resort staff members and they have a chat and joke with you and kids love them.
So if you want a great hol go here there are many things to see and do there on tours.
And for a good night out I recommend Faros on the beach front the staff there are brilliant and the meals a really nice they take payment in UK sterling/Euros and Dollars.

We stayed at Olive Aparts on 23rd July 2007, the staff are very friendly and funny especially Sam, Jemo and Omar, the girls loved pushing them in the pool and cant wait to go back. We are definiately going back to stay in Olive Aparts another time.
The pool is just the right size not to big or not to small.This hotel should be known as the friendliest, most lied back, family hotel.

| said: We have just returned from a week in the olive appartments in Marmaris , Turkey.
The apartments are basic but adequate and for us was in a great location as very close to seafront and shops but far away enough that wasn't noisy at night!
Staff were very nice and friendly and really loved the children!
The pool area is quite small but we never had a problem with it and again children thought it was brilliant - on the downside it closed nightly at six.
The only other negative about these apartments is that although maids tidied beds everyday they only changed sheets once and left us with no toilet rolls for about 4 days!

| said: We would not recommend these apartments as it was not clean, we did not receive any clean linen or towels the whole week we were there.
The pool area was over run with a group of English guys who were very rude and disrespectful to others staying at the apartments.
No action was taken by staff when we complained and the rep was nowhere to be seen the entire week.
Have stayed in better hostels while backpacking round Asia!!!!
Would not recommend these apartments to anyone especially young females as we hassled throughout our stay, having to barricade ourselves in our room on two occasions to stop people coming into the room.

| said: As there were not a lot of previous reviews on this hotel, was a bit anxious before arrival. We were on fourth floor, which we expected as we booked an attic room which was cheaper. On arrival, all staff very helpful, polite and friendly. Basic, clean, small and friendly. As expressed in previous reports, excellent base for getting to all areas easily in the resort.
Food in pool bar/restaurant basic but adequate if you did not want to go out to eat. Both bar men, Sam and Jemmo top men!! The kids (15 and 12) loved their good humour, especially the throwing into the pool of everyone, including the maid and the pool man!!
This hotel deserves to be recognised as a good, self catering family hotel with a very relaxed laid back atmosphere.

We are going back to the Olive in July 2007.

The music was to a reasonable standard too it was off for about 1.00am and was on about 10.00am which was fine!
The only bad point was the towels only got changed every 2 days but apart from that they are lovely apartments
