I went with my family this year and am going next year without my parents because I like it that much. I will definately be going all-inclusive as well.

When we went for drinks earlier on in the night we got glasses but when we went back upto the bar later on we got plastic cups. May I suggest you dont let the waiters take your glasses and put your drink from your plastic cup in the class as sometimes on the plastic ones they hurt your lip.

We went to Blue Bays last year, we arived at night. At first we thought it was a bad hotel but as we woke up in the morning it all gets better and better.

The hotel cleanliness was good, they come every day to clean up your room.

The food was good, it was very different.

The location was good, near by the beach, but you had to take the buss to Marmaris Centre.

The hotel staff was very friendly we had a amazing time with all of them and the entertainment was very good. Every night something else, we stayed a fortnight and then you see some acts for the 2nd time.

I would defenitely go again to this Hotel. To be honest. I go this year again.

Hotel really quite basic but clean enough and friendly.

The location was second to none with the beach and bars a mere 5 mins away.

Would visit again because of location and kids loved the pool area etc.

We booked self catering but cooking facilities poor just as well we wanted to eat out most of time anyway Turkey food good and cheap very pleasantly surprised.

Never go all inclusive to this place food disgusting especially if you have kids with they are not catered for at all. Even the continentals didn't like continental breakfast.

Bring your own loo roll they are in short supply.

Staff most of them ignorant except for few at the pacha bar.

Entertainment pathetic. Belly dancer/sword dancer nearly sliced my son's face as she danced around the tourists
most of animation team were only interested in themselves not kids.

Try and find kids club if you do let me know where it is cos we couldn't find it!

It put me off going back to Turkey.

The only bit I really used was the free bar, but the staff were very unfriendly and slow and it was smelly.

Food wasn't too bad except breakfast but that was ok because we always missed it.

Wouldn't like to see the staff on a bad day.

Entertainment all for kids.

we arrived at hotel early in the morning an staff were very helpful on arrival. Cleanlness was very good and the maids were lovely.

Food wasn't to good in the hotel. Our kids loved the entertainment even if it was repetitive.

Staff were great with the kids and adults, and we are about to return again this month.

Right, where do I start......

Best holiday I have ever been on!!!!!

This hotel, bearing in mind we stayed in the apartments, is the nicest hotel ever! Driving into Marmaris I was thinking "O no, what have I booked here" but, when we pulled up outside the Blue Bays, it looks impressive! the pool is spot on, the water was 23 degrees when we were there, really nice! The room was cleaned everyday and the maid was really friendly, even left us fruit and flowers!!!!

Only a couple of faults with the hotel, the air con was

We stayed in the apartments, 2 of them between the 4 of us, both a great size, really to big for 2 people. Air conditioning was

We arrived 30th June at about 5 ish afternoon the hotel looked like it did in the book clean and modern, we were all helped with are cases to are rooms after a little mix up with the rooms which was sorted quickly.

We all went down for dinner, I must admit we were all dreading the food cause we had read some bad reports on it, we were all in shock the food was brilliant we couldnt stop eating for the two weeks we were there never the same food daily always different, only the breakfast we didnt like, so we all went over the road to piccadillys for the full English breakfast, worked out about

This was my first time to Turkey, but I was travelling with my Mum for whom this was her sixth visit (first time for both to this hotel/apartment)

Blue Bays was a plesant surprise, and appeared to be very clean, with friendly reception staff. However the self catering appartments are in need of a refurb, and most overlook other hotels in close proximity. Whilst our room was a good size, the furniture was very basic, with a very small balcony and tatty furniture. The railings were in desperate need of a paint job. Nonetheless the cleaners were friendly and did a good job of keeping the rooms very clean.

The hotel itself is set on the main Marmaris - Icmeler road, approximately 20 minutes walk from centre of Marmaris where the Bazaar's are located selling very good quality 'Turkey originals'!! However be prepared for high pressure sales ;0(. If you would rather not take the leisurely walk along the main road where shops and restaurants are plentiful, due to the hotel's location, it is very easy to get on a Dolmus right outside hotel which will cost you approx. 20p.

Approx. 250yrds along main road (in each direction), is a side street taking you back towards the beach - approximately a 5 minute walk. Lovely beach - sunbeds are free, but you will be expected to purchase your drinks and food from the restaurant behind. Whilst all the beach bar staff are very friendly, they won't let you past without first having a chat. If you fancy a nice walk, the promenade directly along side the beach here takes you all the way from Icmeler to Marmaris

The resort area itself is very lively and many bars are open until the early hours meaning that younger crowds of single sex groups often do not return until dawn. Whilst there is no disturbance from the bars themselves due to the hotel's location, the noise from returning guests did cause some problems which the hotel were reluctant to address.

However, I would still probably recommend the apartments for their overall location. It also has a lovely pool and comfortable reception area.
