Eftalia Marin

We stayed at Eftalia Marin Hotel with our wife and 2-year-old and had a great experience overall. Food was very good with plenty of choice — breakfast was my favourite. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, and our cleaner Hacer was superb. Staff were friendly, especially Azaad from guest relations who helped us a lot, including warming baby milk. Laundry service was also reasonably priced and convenient. There are shops inside the hotel with fair prices, and plenty of pools, kids’ activities, and access to Eftalia Island. Travel to Alanya is possible by dolmuş, although it is quite far (around 120 km). Overall, a fantastic family stay — 5/5 ⭐️ highly recommended.

Location - the money machine Eftalia resorts...not all inclusive and staff pester you for literally everything...totally lacking social skills or picking up on social cues....and you can watch staff peering and leering at children. Not particularly clean, food is absolute garbage and I ended up having to eat out. Drains smell absolutely revolting. Only thing that was good the main swimming pool. Worst place ive ever been and after being spiked there, Turkey and its people bar one lovely taxi driver can go forth and multiply should be disgusted with themselves but wouldn't be because its clearly how they are and are raised. Weirdos.

A Nightmare Vacation and an Obvious Scam – Avoid This Hotel! We were a large group – 12 adults and 5 children. What we experienced at Eftalia Marin Resort not only ruined our vacation but also caused immense stress. This hotel is far from 5 stars and is definitely not "ultra all-inclusive." At most, I would give it 4 Turkish stars. WARNING! If you encounter any health issues, especially with children, be extremely cautious. When our 1.5-year-old daughter developed a fever, the hotel doctor immediately diagnosed her with "Coxsackievirus" and insisted we go to a private hospital he recommended. He was more interested in our insurance policy numbers than our child's health. He even suggested taking healthy children for testing! At the hospital, they only ran general tests that couldn't confirm the virus, and for the 15 km ride back, they demanded a ridiculous €80 from each family, claiming "insurance will cover it all." This is a clear scheme to profit from tourists. My advice: before going to their recommended hospital, consult with a doctor from your home country first, or you will be scammed. Hygiene is simply tragic. In the restaurants and bars, you constantly find dirty dishes and cutlery. The room floors weren't washed for days – covered in other people's hair, and a wet wipe would turn black after swiping it across the floor. It's no wonder that both children and adults in our group got sick. Food and drinks are a complete fraud. For kids:There is no children's menu, apart from french fries and chicken nuggets. For adults: The food is often burnt or severely overcooked. Alcohol: "Ultra all-inclusive" here means blatantly watered-down drinks. You can drink hard liquors by the glass with absolutely no effect. A tip for anyone who has already booked this hotel: buy an alcohol meter to see for yourself how you're being deceived. They tried to cheat us from the moment we arrived. They put us in "better" rooms for the first night because ours were supposedly occupied, and demanded an extra €100 to €300 for them. Those who refused to pay couldn't move their luggage to their assigned rooms until the next afternoon. We have vacationed in Turkey many times before, but we have never encountered such a horror. Avoid this hotel, especially if you are traveling with children.

slept in room 2014 had a swim up room but in the bedrooom had a wall of seagulls and a magpie. I have a huge fear of seagulls and it was hard to sleep at night i went many nights without sleep and when i did sleep i still felt uncomfortable. The paint job on the roof must have been done by stevie wonder because it is the worst paint job i have ever seen being a painter and decorator myself makes it easier to see thats its a terrible job thats been done.
