club candan we stayed there a couple of years ago, excellent hotel check the reviews

Fantastic Hotel - wouldn't say it's in the middle of everything though Marmaris is a big place & I'm sure you'll get much much closer!

karakas apartments

you can get to everything easily in marmaris bar street is in the main town area so not a nice place to stay. beach front where there are plenty of bars etc is much nicer. i personally would stay a bit away from these areas and just catch the dolmus to them when i fancied it, we always stay in the amutalan area, which is lovely.
