This hotel, listed under Small Luxury Hotel, is a perfect place to get away either you go out for night life or just stay in. I stayed 2 nights by myself- got awesome SPA massages, had good beer with great view and enjoyed swimming pool with again, great view of the city.
Breakfast is great- and staffs are very friendly- they come talk to you without any discomfort. Relationship manager(?)- he's such a wonderful guy- he sings everywhere while welcoming all the guests(he seems apeaking turkish, english, italian, french..... But hope he will be able to speak a language from Asian countries as well someday) *prefer Korean ;) ;)
A tiny handcraft clothing/jewelry shop in the hotel is such a gem. I got nice decent quality gifts for my family and myself from the shop. Nice & friendly shop owners(mom & daughter) are the plus!
Prvate beach was also good. Clean and well displayed. Except, there aren't frequent shuttles.. And oneday shuttle was like 20mins late.
Overall, i cannot stress more how my time at Marmara was awesome. Strongly recommend for a single or couple!
