Maritim Grand Azur

We returned for our 4th time. Once again we had the most brilliant holiday. The hotel is the perfect size - not too big, not too small. Staff are exceptional , Sezar and Bayram in the restaurant could not do enough for us, friendly and professional. Zafar (Ze), Mustafa and Cagtay the best entertainment guys - high energy, speaking multiple languages and involving everyone. Cleanliness is 100% and the food was as fabulous as ever. And all in the heart of busy Marmaris. Inside the hotel is peaceful, step outside and you can enjoy the hustle and bustle that makes Marmaris a holiday you won’t forget. The views from the hotel and beachfront are stunning. Definitely won’t be our last visit.

Our first trip to Marmaris, we usually stay in Lara beach, but thought we would give it a try. I must say we would come back to Marmaris and to the grand Azur, we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much bother. The grounds and pool area are spotless, and always plenty of beds, the pool was lovely, we spent hours floating around and having fun, then we would pop for lunch where we would not even ask for a drink as the staff just recognized us, they are so attentive. Big thank you to all the staff for making our stay so perfect.

Currently staying here. Impressions: - territory: very compact (no need to walk miles to the beach and back) and very clean. - beach: not big, might be a problem to get a sunbed after 10.00 in peak season. Sometimes you can see people from the neighbouring hotel, who occupy the sunbeds, but the Grand Azur security firmly asks them to vacate the beach. The sunbeds need to be retired. - rooms: totally fine space-wise, but furniture has seen a lot already and deserved to be updated. In at least one room there's heavy smell of cigarettes as if it was smoking room. - food and drinks: nothing to complain. Good choice of food, pretty delicious. Drinks are far from being the best, but overall OK if you don't demand Grand Cru level of wine at an all inclusive resort. Guys at the pool bar will not shake your Pina Colada 3 minutes before closure - just stir it, probably because it's to late for proper service. All inclusive concept doesn't work after 0.00, which I find rather weird for a 5* resort. - service: you never get you room cleaned before 15.00. If you or your kids want to nap or relax in the room after lunch, be ready that the housekeeping will knock on your door even if you switched on the red "do not disturb" light. When you ask them to come in 10 minutes, they will tell you that their working day is over. You call reception and they confirm: you either let the housekeeping now (around 15.30) or your room will be cleaned tomorrow. You go and talk to Guest Relations, they promise your room will be cleaned the next day by 12.00, but it never happens. No compliments offered whatsoever. Overall: not a 5* experience you expect. There are quite some 5* resorts in Turkey (Calista, XO Cape Arnna, Ethno, NG Phaselis - to name a few) which are on a completely different level. If you've been there once and then come to Grand Azur - be prepared for potential disappointment. Long story short: good 4* as of August 2026.
