Review
All of the Marmara’s 96 rooms and 7 suites feature a mix of modern décor and traditional pieces as well as separate sitting areas – be sure to request one with a view. The specialty suites, Dolce Vita or Party Animal, are the newest accommodations (others are a bit tired) and offer private terraces with direct views of the town and waterfront below. For active guests, the hotel has a small gym area, two pools, two squash courts, a basketball court, and a spa. The Tuti restaurant serves Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine on the rooftop with spectacular views of the city below, and the property has a private beach just a ten-minute shuttle ride away. For those who want to be located right in Bodrum proper, the property’s biggest asset is without a doubt the location.
Who Should Stay
The hotel is a good option for families and visitors who would prefer to be close to Bodrum town during the summer months. Its location is its best asset in the off-season when the peninsula quiets down, and the once-busy properties feel scattered and slightly lonely. As Bodrum’s only pet-friendly property, the hotel welcomes those who are traveling with animals, and is home to a very lazy, very loved three-legged cat.
