Stayed at Villa Asina for one week late June 09. We booked direct with hotel who will also arrange airport transfers, although we did this ourselves through Marmaris Transfers - whom we found extremely helpful. Hotel is located in a very quiet and remote area, 5min walk past donkeys, goats and chickens to main road with regular dolmus service. This is a typical boutique hotel - small and very friendly. When we arrived the manager welcomed us and said to treat the hotel as our home. There is a very pretty garden by a lovely infinity pool, but was too deep for me as a non-swimmer - it was all one depth with no shallow end! Also had adjoining jacuzzi. Several sunbeds, deck chairs and bean bags scattered around the pool, with a shaded cushioned seating area to lounge in. There is a small pebbly bay accessed by steep steps below the hotel, sufficient for snorkelling but no facilities. A 20min walk along the main road to a lovely bay with an excellent restaurant and free sunbeds.

Did not see one price list/menu all the time we were there, but alcohol prices and bottles of water were the same as in the town. Buffett breakfast was taken on the terrace by the garden/pool - very good with lots of choice. If you want to stay for your evening meal, you are asked in the morning if you'd like chicken/fish/meat. They will then choose the type of dish to cook you - usually accompanied by a huge meze, be warned! We ate there the first night, but preferred to choose a restaurant in the harbour, which is a 30min walk or 10min dolmus/taxi ride away. Would recommend having your nightcaps back in Asina's candlelit gardens - so romantic!

We stayed in the Datca room - very good size and lovely bathroom. Huge balcony area with two sunloungers (no cushions - but to be fair we didn't enquire if there were any) overlooking the garden/pool area. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. TV, and I think DVD player, although we never used it/them!

Would certainly go back as thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Even though our initial impression was that it was too far out of town, we soon got into our routine of either walking or catching the dolmus - depending on how hot or energetic we felt
