Over-looking the bay at Marmaris, this modern and tastefully styled hotel has a privileged position affording beautiful views out to sea and set within a pine-wood forest. Conveniently situated between Icmeler and Marmaris and with public transport stopping close to the hotel entrance, exploring the area couldn't be easier. Featuring a natural design and comfort, guests can benefit from a host of excellent facilities including an aquapark and sports' and entertainment programme as well as a choice of bars and eateries. The centre of Marmaris is 6 km away and worth a visit for its' excellent choice of shops, restaurants and popular nightlife. Ferries also operate from Marmaris harbour to the nearby Greek island of Rhodes.
We are here. Hotel, view, Specious of food, workers, from the first day garson MEVLUT SHAHIN serves us gracefully 👍
This is not a 5 star hotel. Maybe it was when it first opened but it clearly hasn’t been updated since. Everything is old, out dated or broken. The owner clearly cares more for his Lamborghini car than to update the facilities. The sun beds are disgustingly. They are old and broken and rusty. The umbrellas are all broken. The only good thing about this hotel was the pool with the slides and the life guards who managed the pool area. They were very pleasant and nice people. However the pool area itself was very dirty, it was not cleaned regularly and there was often empty cups and bottles lying around the floor or old plates next to sun beds which stayed there for days. I would not pay the money to stay in this hotel again. It is a 3/4 star hotel, there are nicer hotel star hotels in marmaris like Aurasia Beach, Deluxe and seaside. Disappointed to have paid so much and got so little for our money. We go to marmaris 3/4 times every year and we stay in different hotels all the time. This was the most disappointing.
This was our second time staying at Orka Lotus Beach Hotel, and this visit touched us in a way we didn’t expect. The hotel has always been beautiful, but this time the entertainment team made our holiday feel truly special — the kind of stay you remember long after you’re home.A huge thank you to Christina, Havinna, Yasin, Kwiz, Buky Beats, Borisrock, Leah, Pelin, Sena, Domdom, Caretta, Heaven, and Imam.Every single one of them brought so much warmth, joy, and genuine kindness to our days. They didn’t just entertain — they connected with us, made us laugh, made us feel welcome, and turned simple moments into memories.Leaving was honestly heartbreaking. We felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. That’s why we’re already planning to come back — because this team made our holiday unforgettable, and they’re the reason we keep returning. See you soon, Jabbar, Eva and Jibbran
Location great for walking into Icmeler however location has very noisy clubbing music until 4:30am - so far this has been for 3 nights in a row - hoping its stops after the weekend. We travelled with children and still placed in a room near the club, you will need earplugs if you want to sleep between 10pm and 4:30am as very loud. Food in the main restaurant is delicious with lots of choice. Cocktail and drinks very good for all inclusive, lots of choice. Service has been very good at the bars and reception. Restaurant very busy from 7pm, tricky to get seats, cannot get a sun bed near the main pool as towels always reserve the beds very early, we ended up near kids pool which was a nice area. Hotel does need tlc to justify being 5 stars as many broken tiles around the pools and restaurants, cleanliness near pools not quite 5 star although staff always clearing up mess; our room was always very clean and mini bar topped up each day. Beach very busy and no room to kick a ball around or play games as it’s end to end with sun beds. Overall 3-4 stars and more adult friendly with the sun beds and clubbing music. Note they delete comments on their Facebook page so I would use trip advisor for accurate reviews.
Orka Lotus Beach is a wonderful hotel! Everything was excellent, from the food and the location to the cleanliness and the wide range of activities available.
A special thank you to the bar manager, Merve. She was always welcoming, friendly, attentive, and happy to help. She made us feel valued throughout our stay.
The à la carte restaurants were also fantastic, with a great variety including Ottoman, Chinese, Italian, and many more. Every restaurant was excellent. A special thank you to Chef Mehmet, who is in charge of the à la carte restaurants. He was welcoming, attentive, and efficient, and his professionalism made our dining experience even more enjoyable.
The hotel was very clean, and there was always something to do. There was a huge variety of food, from the main restaurant and à la carte restaurants to the snack bars and dessert corner. There are also water parks and plenty of activities for children, making it a great destination for families.
We had an amazing holiday and would highly recommend Orka Lotus Beach. We can’t wait to come back!
