First things first, the thing that blew my mind was the pier! 1) You don't have to walk knee-deep in the water until you reach a suitable depth for a swim, you can go into water right from the pier and the depth would be enough straight away. 2) It is actually so deep that you can jump without being afraid of crashing into the bottom. 3) When you get out, your feet are not covered in sand. 4) This place has a very charming atmosphere right after the sunset. Every evening after dinner, me and my wife went to the pier just to lay on the loungers and stare at the sky, watching it go from twilight to stars, and listening to the sea waves. And for some reason, we were almost alone there witnessing this moment. 5) There is a bar, which has some activities later in the evening. 6) It kind of resembles the Maldives vibes. From now on, a pier to me is a necessary option for a beach holiday. This is a hotel for adults. It doesn't mean that you can't go there with children, but this hotel lacks animators or child entertainment options. So there isn't much noise, and this hotel is a perfect place to relax. Also, I must admit the quality of service. I was very pleased about it. The attitude of staff made our accommodation extremely comfortable. Every employee was super helpful and friendly with us. On our third day, we discovered that there was an 8-ball pool in the basement level. And there were cute cats :3

The bed was too short for me. I had to sleep either diagonally or with my feet hanging in the air. And I am not super tall at all, my height is 187 cm. That really felt like a fly in the ointment. Other people were 'reserving' loungers near the swimming pool from the early morning with their towels. It would be better if such actions were prohibited.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Marlin Deluxe Spa and Resort and would highly recommend it to anyone. The combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and prime location made for a memorable experience. The hotel is ideally located. There are many huge outlets near the hotel and also bus stops to reach Alanya or Antalya. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The staff at the reception were welcoming and provided all the necessary information about the hotel's facilities and services. We received a glass of champagne and were escorted to our room. We also got a room-upgrade! Our room was spacious and clean with very comfortable furniture and nice design. Air conditioning worked perfectly fine. We also got a personal access to fast WLAN (Wi-Fi). The service was top-notch. The staff were attentive and very friendly: Yasmin, Yana and Olga with their colleges on the reception were always kind and ready to help. Many thanks to the team, who organized workshops, sports and other activities: Angelika, Marianna, Tanya - thank you very much for your charisma and energy! ☀️ The buffet offered a wide variety of options. All meals were delicious and anyone can always find something for his/her personal taste. We were also very impressed by the bar-team, especially by the bartender Anil. Top-drinks! Very professional workflow and a huge cocktail card covering classical cocktails and hotel specials, which are incredible! The pier is mindblowing! It is huge, comfortable, safe. We spent most of our time either there, or on the workshops. We were amazed and would love to visit Blue Marlin next year!

Me and my family only just returned from the holidays at Blue Marlin Resort and loved everything about them! It's going to be a long one, for those who like the details. The hotel is beautiful and of high standard. Just look at the pictures as they're exactly as the reality. Great food - buffet with good choice of tasty meals, including many regional which was a plus. Desserts were just wow! Great variety of local sweets, halva, cakes, etc, made like in a premium patisserie - I took some pictures as I couldn't believe my eyes. So good! Pier and the beach - I think our absolute favourite! The private beach is literally couple of mins away, it has well-maintained toilets, at least 9 showers to wash off sea water, special area for workshops - hotel was organising some every day, including making bouquets, charms, painting etc. It was great fun for anyone creative. But the Pier steals the show - there are plenty of places for sunbathing, the drink bar and the snack bar and a dining area with the stunning view, we had our a la carte dinner there and we loved it! We also had a cabana for a day - this is booked separately but so so worth it! The pier becomes an event destination in the evenings. The entertainment was top-notch - we went to house music party, music band concert, live piano etc. Most importantly , the hospitality was outstanding!! The staff is so attentive, they really look after you well. Special thanks to the resident, Yana - she is a huge asset to the team. She gave us the warmest welcome and was checking on us regularly. She arranged the transfer to the airport as well, so we had a hassle-free journey back. Many thanks to her and the rest of the team. 100% recommend!

The staff was very professional and friendly, and few of them were very helpful and beyond the expectations, especially Muhemmed, Serkan, Gizem, and Cigdem. The bars on the beach and pool area are really good, and the best bar tender with no doubt was Can(John). If you want to try any massage or Turkish hamam experience, talk to Melisa, she is really helpful and finds good deals for you, but if you choose to have a massage, definitely go with Yelda. Yelda is the best masseur, we had 6 sessions with her, and I wish I had more time to get more massage. The beach side area was really nice and had a good view of sunset or sunrise with a nice bar.

The meals in self-service restaurant weren't hot, and they were a bit tasteless. The meals of the restaurant on the beach were very mediocre and weren't worth a try. And the last thing is the rooms were a little small.

great location, 5 min walking to a big outlet and shopping mall; the beach pier was very nice; very friendly staff especially Can (pool bar tender), Muhemmet and other dining staff. The spa facility was very good, especially the masseuse who is working there called Yelda, very experienced and friendly. we went each 3 times for massage with her. Melisa from the spa staff was very friendly and helpful too. The food buffet and the bars were very diverse as well. Also the quality of the food was good especially the pool snack bar.

The rooms were quite small for a 5 star hotel; pillows were not comfortable; the food’s taste was mostly neutral, though the quality was good; and quite often cold (the warmers were not keeping tje food really warm).

Everything was amazing, starting from making the reservation and the check out. Room was beautiful and very functional. The staff were very friendly and helpful, specifically Ms. Yana, her communication and support were exceptional. Yana was always in touch, helped with transfers, was very caring, which made our vacation even more wonderful. I would also like to highlight Mr. Burhancan in the field of service, his knowledge of English was excellent, he was also very caring, polite and always happy to help - a real professional. Every day there is a lot of entertainment at the hotel, which I really liked. Their buffet choices were amazing!! Thank you for such a wonderful experience❤️ 100% I would recommend this place!

We have been visiting this area of Türkiye for 20 years and this is by far the best hotel we have had the pleasure of staying at. From the first minute you arrive you are greeted by the staff offering drinks and hot towels to refresh after your journey. All the staff take the time to get to know the guests and remember your names, there are so many little personal touches that make this hotel stand out from the rest in the area, it is too many to mention. Marlo beach bar / pier is outstanding with no shortage of sun loungers, freshly prepared food and best of all branded alcohol of all types of drinks. DJ playing relaxing and tasteful music in the afternoon until 18:00 and on most evenings some great live bands. The hotel manager Ali goes above and beyond in getting to know his guests, is very helpful and made my wife’s birthday very special arranging some lovely surprises for her We own a property in the area, but will definitely make the time to return to this hotel on our future visits to experience the great staff and facilities it offers

Nothing

- perfect to relax, almost no children, not a party / loud hotel - great dock and are for swimming in the sea - variety and quality of food (plenty vegetarian options) - hospitality of the crew => nice daily and night activities (morning yoga and nights with DJ were awesome) - broad choose of beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) - very clean, well maintained - spa area - small but well equipped gym

Minor issues: - sometimes they assumed we are Russians and spoke to us in russian, not so nice :) - people reserving sunbeds near pools for entire day and not spending time there. No one seems to cared.

Everything except 1

Interestingly, the bar tender in the Marlo beach bar (morning shift, Asian looking guy) was unwilling to do anything. I asked if he can make a coctail without alcohol and he said he can’t (which im perfectly ok) and then he wanted me to select from coctails without alcohol. I selected and he just put everything in a glass without mixing and put, i thanked, he didnt say anything. (He was not busy at that time either). Clearly he didnt want to do his job because no eye contact, no smile, no answer anything. I understand he might be upset or something, but these things are unacceptable in the level of this kind of hotel

A wonderful boutique hotel with the personal touch. Immaculately clean throughout. A big thank you to Yana for her management skills, hospitality and going the extra mile. Also like to thank Yasmin for customer relation skills. Bar was fantastic and well run by Davut who made all welcome and comfortable. Cagri, a great Cocktail barman who made your drinks exactly as you wanted and remembered on your next visit. A thank you to all staff in bars, kitchens, restaurants, animation and house keeping for all your hardwork. It was all appreciated and didn't go un-noticed.

saying goodbye !!
