Marbel Hotel By Palm Wings

“A great hotel for a great price...come to Marbel, you'll love it!”

First time for me in Turkey, my partner had been some 30 odd years ago, and first time for me with all inclusive.

First time for me in Turkey, my partner had been some 30 odd years ago, and first time for me with all inclusive. We were more than a bit apprehensive about this hotel, due mainly, to the mixed reviews on here. But we shouldn't have worried...the hotel was brilliant! As were the staff, the management, the facilities, the room, the whole package. We had a great time from the moment we entered the hotel, until the very second we left. Could things have been better? Obviously! But we hadn't paid for a 5* hotel, and I think a lot of people who are leaving bad reviews, are expecting too much for the price (though other genuine problems may have arisen) I understand the price you pay depends on the time of year you go, but if you're paying a lot in the high season for Marbel, just imagine what you'd be paying for the 5* equivalent then too. The all inclusive choice of food was amazing, the drinks were basic (vodka/gin/rum/whisky/wine/beer/soft drinks) you could pay extra for premium brand names, but there was enough choice for us without paying extra. There was a great selection of add ons available, trips to Ephesus, Hot Air Balloon Experiences, Turkish Baths, Quad Bike Experiences, Private Green Beach Day, to name but a few. The reps were in the hotel every day or two in person, or there were contact numbers to arrange and pick up was always (for our trips at least) direct from and to the hotel. All in all...for my first experience of Turkey and of an all inclusive package, I had no bad experiences, only good ones and a lot of great times and memories to go along with those. Thank You! to all at Marbel for making my holiday brilliant...hopefully see you soon

“Recent holiday - May 2024”

We booked this as a last minute (bargain priced) get away for some sunshine! We read the mixed reviews and were a bit wary. We didn’t need to be. We had a brilliant week. The staff are lovely - and very helpful. The pool was clean and never over crowded. There were activities throughout the day... more

We booked this as a last minute (bargain priced) get away for some sunshine! We read the mixed reviews and were a bit wary. We didn’t need to be. We had a brilliant week. The staff are lovely - and very helpful. The pool was clean and never over crowded. There were activities throughout the day and evening which everyone of all ages joined in with. The rooms were clean and did the job. The air conditioning in the room was a blessing in the evening. The location doesn’t look much but is a short walk to everywhere- I ventured out to the local shops on foot (about 10 mins walk). There is also a large supermarket close by (where I bought cheap bits for the teenager!) and a store in the hotel. There are lots of excursions on offer too. I liked the food, although others didn’t. I’d say it’s more suited to the non fussy adult! There is a large selection of salads, cold meats and cheeses. Wide range of deserts and hot selection at both lunch and dinner times. The pool side snack bar was a hit with burgers etc. The ice creams by the pool was also a plus! The bar is well stocked and has soft, alcoholic and hot drinks available. This is definitely a 3-4 star experience, but is great value for money and a comfortable holiday.

“Hotel great, food not so great”

The hotel is lovely. It does exactly what it says on the tin. The staff are also really nice. Especially Bella and her husband that make up the animation team. We really struggled with the language barrier and not many staff knew even very basic English which I thought was a little odd. One thing... more

The hotel is lovely. It does exactly what it says on the tin. The staff are also really nice. Especially Bella and her husband that make up the animation team. We really struggled with the language barrier and not many staff knew even very basic English which I thought was a little odd. One thing in particular I found really bad was the food. It literally made us ill so we had to stop eating there which was a shame as we’d paid to go all inclusive and hadn’t really considered the cost of eating out because of this. The pool was also unbearably cold too which again I found odd. It’s also in quite a rough area and I absolutely wouldn’t advise walking anywhere alone. The locals aren’t the nicest and most honest people and will do anything to anyone for a bit of money so be careful of scams/thieves etc. there’s also a huge presence of stray animals which is really heartbreaking but of course nobodies fault
