Me and my partner was at ideal pearl hotel in marmaris for the 5th time and was amazing again 2 weeks very clean hotel very friendly staff especially Gabriel and mahammid made our stay very enjoyable so friendly and helpful food excellent our cleaner was also amazing always a clean room very polite to if I had one grip it's just sunbeds need updating a bit more comfortable ones would help already booked to go back next year looking forward to it already very nice hotel close to all amenities amazing holiday thankyou to all staff at ideal pearl from mark and sue in England

Stayed here September. Lovely hotel and it’s in a great location very close to shops and bars. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly, rooms are nice found the bed so comfy and there is a small chiller which has water and juice in it, also tea and coffee making facilities. Food is ok, we always managed to find something to eat. Pool area is nice and there are plenty of sun beds to be had, we usually managed to get one without waking up at stupid o’clock to reserve one We did find toward the end of our holiday that some people were putting their towels out before they went to bed, reserving not just 2 beds but some time 4 and 6, these were the people who didn’t appear round the pool till lunch time later. Plenty of sunbeds can be found at the small beach across the road which are usually free if you buy a drink from the bars some have free WiFi too. Hotel does have a spa where you can have a Turkish bath and massage etc. Entertainment was ok, bingo then a show or karaoke, some evenings a quiz. They do take holiday makers to bar street if that’s something you want to do, we didn’t find out about this till it was too late to go. Catch the bus into Icmeler 60L per person, or you can catch a boat taxi. All in all a great holiday, nice clean hotel, friendly staff who work very long hours. I would definitely stay again.

Great holiday in the ideal pearl and only a couple of reasons I didn’t give it 5 star. The rooms are a little small and lack storage but they done the job . The pool is all 1 depth which might not suit everyone but for me was fine. The sunbeds are uncomfortable so maybe buy an inflatable bed to put on them. Food was tasty not a massive choice but allways something to eat and it was very tasty. Drinks must be cheap as no strong even after 10 drinks. Evening entertainment needs some work as sometimes only lasts 10 mins. Reps and staff are all very polite and allways seem happy as can’t blame them for the poor evening entertainment or drink quality.

Location: just off the start of the strip. Walk down one round (2 minutes and your there) Hotel: on arrival the reception area is very clean / modern and bright. we were told all rooms are the same so no upgrades. However some have pool views and others your looking straight out onto a wall. Rooms are big clean tidy and have everything you need. Tv (although you will have to pay extra if you want English channels as you only get news. This is £10pw) aircon is good and free. Tea / coffee / water / juice was provided and there is a kettle also. (Tea/coffe is not replenished) there is a decent size bed and the bathrooms are a nice size with free toiletries and an air dryer. Food: lots of choice but can be a little repetitive. Ice creams only available during teatime service. Drinks: the cocktails are more like mocktails. People were actually bringing wine ect in from the shops. Beer is ok but sometimes it’s flat. Entertainment: during the day it’s the usual darts / archery ect at 1045 and 1500. Night entertainment starts at 2100 with bingo (decent prizes) and then a show of sorts for an hour. Pool: nice and clean. 1.5m all way round so no shallow end but there is a smaller cool down pool. Sunbeds: this is the kicker for me. People putting towels out from 0100….!!! Yup 1am…. There are notices everywhere saying not to reserve beds but no one takes notice and the staff just leave them. There are plenty of sunbeds stacked up and you can help yourself to these you just won’t get a good spot and by 10 o’clock it looks like an obstacle course with lounge everywhere. Overall a good clean hotel for adults only. And worth the money. We would stay again.

Arrived 10am myself and my husband and we were told the room wouldn't be ready until 2pm which was not great you just want to crash after travelling. Room was on the 5th floor small which is ok with us . It was clean and nicely decorated.We had a lovely large balcony and you could just spot the sea. Sunbeds absolute shocking that people reserve them in the early hours and they were packed in like sardines, however the staff will help you get one. Food was delicious and although not a vast variety there was always something to find. The morning pancakes were fantastic. Great salads and the grill outside was brilliant. Staff were really friendly and welcoming especially the maid that cleaned our room and Hasan the barman. Drinks weren't great and the plastic cups yes I get around the pool area but it's an adult only hotel and I don't want plastic wine glasses in the evening. Hotel was spotless and the staff work extremely hard making sure it's cleaned constantly. On the whole I've stayed in lots of resorts in Turkey and been to Marmaris many times staying in 4* 5* and self catering I've also stayed in 4 and 5* in Antalya which are next level so I wouldn't say this hotel was 4* .Others add little touches like ice-cream and snacks throughout the day, better drinks and bigger pool areas. Would I stay here again probably not but we had a lovely holiday. Consider tipping the maids ours was so lovely.
