Hotel was dirty. Toilets broken. Shower not working properly. Air-conditioning filthy. Very boring low quality food. Cockroaches at the dining area and pool! From our room cleaner rob money! We called the police and they said it was not the first time. The staff and manager did want help because they know we are living the next day. I'm not recommended this hotel!!!

The best hotel ever!!!
The food.. exceptional .. fresh grilled food every single day.
The service.. incredible! JIMMY and BEN, you made my trip so special.
Cleanness - I wish the rooms were cleaned to a better standard, however housekeeping were more than happy to accommodate once we called.
I love you guys and I’ll be back!

I booked Palmea as a last minute getaway, however was very sceptical about staying here due to the mixed reviews.
I found the food repetitive and limited at times but still tasty most days. Enjoyed the grilled selection of food (at lunch and dinner) and the male chef there was always smiley and welcoming. The ladies on the reception desk were also really helpful in assisting with my enquiries.
Rooms are decent, however found the bed extremely hard and uncomfortable. Cleaning of the rooms was also very basic/ minimal and could do with improvement. There’s a little fridge in the rooms, to which I was provided with 2 bottles of water on my arrival but noticed this wasn’t refilled during my stay.
The WiFi doesn’t work in the rooms, which was a bit of a let down. However, I was able to access WiFi in the reception, restaurant and by the pool. There are two pools (one with a slide for kids), a shop and spa facilities.
Key standouts:
I had a lovely massage at the hotel, definitely recommend the spa here.
Location is quite central, just under a 15 minute walk to the beach and shops etc.
The small cocktail bar by the pool is nice for something light to do in the evenings. Some live entertainment would’ve been a good addition as there is none.
Overall, for a 4* all inclusive hotel I found Palmea fairly basic but experienced a pleasant stay here.

Staff in this hotel always went above and beyond, always friendly and always greeted with smiles... a gentlemen named Caner even went out of his way to give me some eye drops (hayfever) rooms were always clean, food was okay but I am a fussy eater! Avoid Kevin! He doesn't work for the hotel, he tries to sell excursions but double the price, speak to hotel staff to get better deal! Highly recommended Turkish bath!! Not far walk to the strip and beach

Avoid this hotel you can find much, much better for same price!
They left us waiting for our room for a whole day waiting in the hot reception room in the blazing heat leaving us feeling ill and tired on our first day there. But not just us, they left families with children as-well which is absolutely disgusting after a day of travelling. They said it was due to us arriving throughout the night but we found from other people that they had overbooked the rooms. We also had to wait for the manager to arrive to get this resolved where they said she would be there at 10am in the morning and she didn’t turn up until till about 1pm.
The staff were the rudest people I have ever met and are not friendly towards anybody unless you are one of them.
The room was standard however the air-con did not work properly and shower had mould.
The food was absolutely rancid and the chicken smelt like fish leaving my boyfriend with food poisoning. This meant he was sick all night after and when asking for staff to help clean they said there was nothing they could do. Eventually, a man from reception same to clean but did not do it properly making me having to ask for the cleaning products to do it myself.
We saw staff turn off the air-con in the dinner room with the bread knife!! The food was yesterday’s left overs most nights and we had to pay to eat out as most people did even though we payed for all inclusive.
We spoke to many guests staying there and they all said they regret booking here and they would never recommend to anybody else.
We could not get any part of our money back in the end and was a nightmare hotel.
Location was far from the main, busy part of Marmaris and you will have to walk a little while to reach the beach. And note you will have to pay money everyday for a taxi or bus to the main strip.
PLEASE do not book to stay here especially if you have children.
