Hotel Cettia Beach Resort

Fabulous food, hotel and location. Thank you to all the staff who are all so professional and friendly. Already booked for next April.

Brillant stay fabulous service from start to finish, room attending fantastic ( if u leave them a money token ) same with waiters and pool Attendant. Food options not great but u won’t go hungry, we had side sea room right by the road and the traffic as u can imagine doesn’t stop, and workers putting bottles into bottle bank at 1 .30am Smashing the bottles on the side of bottle bank and whooing when it smashed, and finally the amazing air con leaves a lot to be desired we had to keep Out door open all Night just for the breeze, apart from these niggles it a beautiful hotel but won’t be returning

We booked here mostly on reflection of price for 7 nights. We wanted somewhere nice and at short notice. The hotel in itself is good. On arrival there was a friendly receptionist who guided through the check in process and our bags were taken to our room. The room itself was of a good standard. It was clean and stocked with the usual toiletries and mini bar ( which is only free on arrival) I thought the bed was very comfortable, however my husband didn’t sleep well. The only gripe I have about the bed is that the sheet which is on the bed is not nearly big enough for two people so ask for another when your room is cleaned. The pool area is small, beds around the pool go quickly and early. The pool itself is not for those who cannot swim as it is one depth (1.60m) for the most part, but there is a smaller pool to the side which is much more shallow. The outside seating area is situated behind the sun loungers and there is always seating to be had. Outside the hotel is a promonade, turn left and you can walk all the way to Marmaris if you want to, it is a lonnnng way, turn right and you can walk all the way to Ichmeler. This was our favourite walk. The hotel also has a jetty with sun loungers on it which hotel guests can use free of charge. Again the hotel lets itself down here as this could be a lovely boutique area, instead it looks like it’s in need of updating. The umbrellas are broken and blow over quickly in the wind which resulted in them being put down on some afternoons. The sun loungers on the top jetty are in need of repair or replacing and the wood on the jetty is dangerous if stepping on it with bare feet, beware of splinters!! The food is what lets this hotel down. Although we found things to eat every day, it was repetitive and at times not clearly labelled. Some of the food was bland and could have done with a little seasoning. The cakes were not to my taste at all. There is ice cream served at 3pm, I can recommend the caramel and lemon flavours, burgers, chicken nuggets and chips at 4pm and afternoon tea around the same time. Burgers, chips and chicken nuggets or soup served also at 11;30pm. The cocktails are ok. They could be better. There is a basic list of about 10 cocktails which are on the AI tariff. Behind the bar there are branded spirits and other alcohol drinks which are payable. Not once did I see the branded spirits being used. Maybe one day every week they could offer branded drinks on the AI…. You can get an alcoholic drink at breakfast too if that what’s floats your boat, I’m more of a green tea person myself. The entertainment is what you make of it. The entertainment guy, Bruno is a very large personality and likes to talk to and include everybody and is not always politically correct. He may not be to everyone’s taste. The staff work their socks off, particularly where the Turk tourists are concerned. It appears to be they get better service at times. However they all work extremely hard and are friendly and work with a smile. You will be approached by staff who work at the spa, jewellery place in Marmaris and the photo place ( do the photos they are amazing) with their selling pitches but they recognise when you are not interested. Would we return to this hotel, absolutely as it was worth every penny we spent. Did the things which could do with upgrading spoil our holiday? Not in the slightest. Book it, you’ll have a great time😀😀
