Grand Ideal Premium

Sylvia Rogala ツ

We stayed at the Grand Ideal Premium in Marmaris as a larger group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and we had such a fantastic week from start to finish. A special mention has to go to Murat and his Bali masseurs at the spa. He was incredibly welcoming, and the whole experience left us feeling completely relaxed and refreshed—exactly what we needed during our stay. The food was truly a highlight of the holiday. The chefs were amazing and consistently delivered five-star quality meals every day. There was such a wide variety of tasty dishes and desserts, and we especially loved the chefs at the back of the restaurant who freshly grilled meat—they were not only skilled but also so friendly. The entertainment staff were great fun and always made sure there was something going on, creating a lively and friendly atmosphere throughout the day and evening. Turkish night was a real treat, with traditional dancing that made the experience feel extra special. We also want to thank the lovely housekeeping ladies who kept everything spotless, and the attentive bar staff who were always smiling and ready with a drink. The lounge really spoiled us with excellent wine and fantastic cocktails every evening. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate a birthday with friends. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making it such an amazing and memorable week—we would definitely return!

So I’ve just come to the end of a 2 week stay in the grand ideal premier and I’ll be totally honest with my review. On first impressions it’s a lovely hotel it’s clean and pretty modern compared to other hotels in close vicinity. The pool area is very disorganised with people placing sunbeds all over the place and if you want a bed near to the pool bar side (sun all day) you need to be waking up and getting your towels down for 5.30 otherwise you’ll be on the other side of the pool which hits the shade about 3.30. The pool itself is pretty clean although I only saw the pool guy redo the chlorine once in the 2 weeks. The food is really good considering it’s a buffet style menu all food was warm and replaced regularly the grill outside was the place for about 5 different chicken flavour types and jacket spuds throughout the week. Waiters/Waitresses were by far the friendliest staff in the hotel and always had a smile for you. The Rep we had was a guy named “Joe” he wasn’t much help to me or my family but we’ve been Marmaris on quite a few occasions so know what to expect so he probably will be more helpful to those who are unsure or first timers to Marmaris, he did try and sell me excursions but when I told him I had my own contacts his persona turned quite cold. I had a Turkish bath and a deep muscle massage in the hotel spa which was great just be sure to haggle the original price as talking to other guests the prices seemed to fluctuate somewhat. The rooms are adequate in size I was on the 3rd floor over looking the pool the beds are comfortable and firm however wardrobe space is lacking. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours going toilet throughout the night. The air con we had was decent too. Clean lips is clearly a big thing for the hotel however to receive a snooty letter threatening us to be charged for laundry as my child had spilt a bit of Pepsi on his bed cover seemed a little overzealous. The maids don’t seem to have a set timetable and can show up at anytime of the day. We had our room set on to made up all day and when my wife went to the room to rest (about 3pm) they hadn’t been this then led to it becoming over 3 days since the last clean and again they sent another little letter so try and make sure you are up and awake early to avoid this. The location of the hotel is great and many shops, bars, restaurants are easily accessible by a short walk or taxi/dolmus-bus. All in all I would stay there again and for the price we paid it was well worth it.

We stayed here in October as a group of 3 . The hotel was absolutely amazing the selection of food was delicious couldn't fault ! The pool was on the cold side but okay once you were in it for a while. The room we stayed in wasn't big enough for 3 adults and not enough plugs and lighting and mirrors could be improved. The beds and pillows also could do with being more comfortable. The cleanliness was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We definitely would come back but would need a bigger room . Now for me the best part of my holiday was the Spa in the hotel, I honestly can say it was the best Spa experience I've ever had !! It was that good I went 4 times ... U can get them down on price and they offer excellent package deals !! A special thank you to my angel Lianna she looked after me the week I was there she was AMAZING 🫶 literally the best massage ever I highly recommend if you are staying here . Thank you to everyone at the Grand Ideal Premium Marmars for a wonderful holiday and we hope to see you again next year. We used Batman Tours for our private transfers and booked all our trips with him highly recommended.

I'm going to give an honest and unbiased view on my stay at this hotel. I'll highlight the pros and cons so anyone with the same thoughts as me will have a prior idea. Pros: 1. Food is great - huge selection all round and is of a decent standard for the price of the hotel 2. Pools are huge and plenty of space to swim 3. Cleaners will tidy your room every day and replace towels etc if asked 4. Luggage room available if you have a late flight and hotel welcomes you to stay till departure 5. Located on the strip of hotels so easy access to the buses that lead to the marina etc. 6. Loads of local shops, cafes, bars etc and beach cafes are a few minutes walk 7. All inclusive includes all drinks 8. Ice cold AC in the rooms Cons: 1. Reception lady does not leave a good impression to guests and lacks basic customer service skills 2. Rooms are tiny and when you ask to change there is never another available room till the next day 3. If there are more than two of you book a family room with 3 beds. They gave us a pull out sofa which was rock hard 4. No blankets are provided just a thin sheet 5. There's NO iron in the hotel. They charge £6 per item to press 6. No room service available 7. Showers had very low pressure 8. Only two Tiny lifts for the whole resort that barely fit 3 people in and took forever to come up or down 9. Hotel listed a gym, was in the middle of the spa and ended up being 2 treadmills 1 cross trainer and 1 back machine. No weights, benches or anything. Overall it was a good hotel and we would stay again but bare in mind the above points I've made so you can come prepared.
