The hype
Guests love the location and the beach, but many feel the cleanliness and maintenance standards have slipped recently.
Orka Lotus Beach Hotel
$150-250 / nakti
Rezervējiet, ja You want a massive, family-friendly resort right on the promenade between Marmaris and Icmeler with a private beach and aquapark.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Prime location on the promenade—walkable to both Icmeler and Marmaris
- Private sandy beach with two jetties and crystal-clear water
- Aquapark with 6 slides keeps kids entertained for hours
Ātrs apskats: A solid family resort with a killer location that calls itself 'Ultra All Inclusive' but charges extra for the good booze and has some tired corners.
Pārskatīts: @soyliza: I stayed at Orka Lotus Beach and it was a total dream. The floral walkway is even prettier in person, and watching the sunset from the pier was the highlight of my trip. If you want a relaxing Aegean getaway with perfect photo spots, this is it.
