- Marbas Select Beach

The small, popular Marbas Select Beach Hotel is conveniently situated directly on the beach in the renowned holiday resort of Içmeler on the Turkish Riviera, surrounded by green pine tree-clad mountains reaching into the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The restaurants, bars, cafés and shops of the resort centre can be reached within just a few walking minutes, while the city of Marmaris with its historical sites is just 8 km away. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with stunning views over the pool and the picturesque bay of Içmeler. The bright and comfortable rooms have air-conditioning and some of them also boast panoramic sea views. The main restaurant has a terrace area with superb sea views, while guests may also choose a second restaurant and the Liberty Bar on the beach. This hotel is a great choice for couples and friends looking for a tranquil place for relaxing holidays.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

Loved our time here. Perfect location with just a few steps onto the beach. Staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for you. Our room was cleaned daily and was lovely with a balcony overlooking the mountains and which had the sun later in the day. Food was tasty and always hot but a bit samey. We loved it though. We will definitely return to the Mar Bas next time we visit Icmeler.
This place should come with a warning ‼️
This Hotel is lovley rooms cleaned whenever I wanted, Food was good a great variety and always something extra cooked outside, There wasn't much choice on the alcohol, I don't drink so for me personally that didn't matter, I had the best holiday ever the beach is litteraly a few steps away The view from my room was stunning I went with my adult son and we both had the greatest time We met some amazing people who we went for days out with and are lifelong friends, Kelly/,John ,Jason & Kelly Pat and Ange and of course Mechelle, It was that good I booked to come back in October See you all soon Marbas.
We recently returned from the Marbas Select Beach Hotel after a 7 day family holiday. We had an amazing time there, very friendly staff , yes it is a bit dated and the food can become a bit monotonous but it is high quality and for the price we paid, we could easily afford to eat out as an alternative. Soft drinks, juices, coffee etc were unlimited and free, so was lager, gin and vodka. The safe cost £2 per night but hotel wifi was free. Rooms were cleaned daily and bedding and towels were also changed daily I would highly recommend Marbas hotel but be realistic, its fairly cheap but still enjoyable and has a pool and small strip of private beach with sun loungers. If you want to pay £1600 per person , per night and thats in october then there are plenty of 5 star luxury hotels , our family trip of 3 for 7 nights was an absolute bargain. I would rate it as a solid 3 stars and Icmeler is so much cheaper than marmaris and is a georgeous area. Thank you Marbas for a wonderful time.
Arrived on 14/9:2026 just before midnight due to a flight delay, on arrival the night porter asked if we would like some soup, as we were really hungry we accepted. It was hot and tasty. When I booked the holiday I asked TUI if there was a lift as being in my. 70’s stairs can be a bit of a challenge. We were allocated rooms on the 5th floor and the lift only went to the 4th floor. Admittedly one of the young lads helped with our suitcases. The room was really dated. Furniture was broken, fridge and air conditioning didn’t work. For the first time ever I never unpacked as I decided I wasn’t staying in that room. The next morning we spoke to Arda on reception who said he could move us but not until the next day so we spent 2 nights in a really hot attic room. We were allocated rooms on the 4th floor the next morning and although they were bigger the condition wasn’t much better. The fridge and the air conditioner worked though. The views are to die for and it’s right on the beach, which is very crowded and umbrellas and beds in poor condition. It was also filthy so once again I complained. Staff were sent out to immediately start cleaning the beach. The food is limited and it caters for the Turkish people which is fine we were in Turkey but for me I was sick of eating Chicken or eggs. The ice creams at 3pm were a nice treat. The table cloths in the restaurant are dirty and not changed just brushed down. The staff are lovely but look so bored most of the time. Would I stay here again…. No Would I recommend it ……. No But each to their own. In my opinion it needs a really good refurbishment and it could be spectacular. At the minute it is tired and run down
