Location
First of all I reccomend that you do not go all inclusive at this hotel, the food is standard chips and pasta with one choice of meat and chicken, there is alot of places where you can eat out at, only a 2 minute walk up the road. Sahars fun pub was nice and in the new york bar all the staff have a laugh with you. The drinks are okay at the hotel.
Cleanliness
The hotel rooms were kept nice by the maids, but apart from that there wasn't much done around the hotel.
Location
5 minute drive to marmaris town centre in dolmus, people say half an hour walk to town centre but you have to find your way first, easier to use dolmus. If you want to go to Icemeler use a taxi as it is cheaper, the beach is also better at icemeler and water sports are cheaper there as well.
Staff
The one good thing about this hotel was how friendly the staff were cem(gem) especially, everyone was cheerful, and randy andy was a bit of a show off. Cem(gem) took me and my family to bar street and looked after us, great lad.
Entertainment
The kids club is aimed at 3-8 year olds, but for people like me and my freind aged fifteen there was nothing to do, no football or sport activities just one pool table in the resteraunt for around 1 pound, the slides were okay but were only open for 4 hours a day. On saturday night there was turkish night with break dancing, belly dancing and a crappy barbecue, but for the rest of the week they ad nothing, we went out every night.
My family and friends all had bad stomachs at some point in the holiday, personlay I would not reccomend this hotel.

OK.. so maybe I am being a snob about it. You might like this place... there were lots of people there who seemed to be enjoying themselves... a lot... until 4.30 in the morning... off their faces... while their young kids ran around the unguarded swimming pool... nice!
IF YOU GO TO THIS HOTEL DO NOT EXPECT TO SLEEP!
There are those I am sure who dont mind that the rooms arent cleaned properly or that they havent slept for two weeks or that they have rat droppings falling on their heads from the suspended ceiling in their bathrooms and cockroaches running around the floor!
I am sure that for some, the idea of being forced to listed to Karaoke until all hours of the night and then being woken at 6.30 either by a loud and aggressive man or a team of "Football lads on tour" shouting and screaming would be a positive delight... not for us.
Worst two weeks I can remember...

We were a family of 4 staying in 1 of 3 rooms. There was no space to store our belongings so we lived out of our suitcases for 2 weeks. We paid 50pounds for the air conditioning which was a waste, and 20 pounds for the safe which did not work. The cleaning staff was very polite but not very good at cleaning (why did they insist on taking all linen and towels every time they came) we spent most of the time chasing management for towels and sheets.
Pools - they were dirty never cleaned right if cleaned at all. My little boy found razor blades by the stairs in the pool area, when we complained I got a hand pushed in my face. The rep was a waste of space she told us we were lucky that she was there and she don't have to listen to us. That sums it up I suppose nobody wants to listen to the guests complaints, that's why the hotel is filthy and has arrogant staff, if you don't eat or drink there you will be shund.
So make sure you're prepared to live in a hell hole like animals for you're stay cos that's what management expect of you.

The food was great, we had a large variety of food choices cooked at a very high standard, We also had the choice of 2 resturants on site.
Ok, the location wasnt brilliant, the beach and resort was a few miles away but we had no trouble getting there, there was a bus stop right outside the hotel. The buses were very cheap!. Also there was plenty of shops, resturants and club/pubs around the area to keep you happy....no complaints at all!
The Hotel staff were extremely friendly...they would do anything for you to make your stay there more enjoyable, They are also a good laugh...Top job people!
Every night of the week there was good entertainment on the site from Kareoke's, break dancers and turkish nights. They were very fun and enjoyable...we advise people to go to them because they may be suprised how much they will enjoy themselves!
I have already booked to go to this hotel next August and will look forward to it! Cant wait!!!

I have never met such brilliant people. Ihe staff, especially in the restaurant, could not do enough for us, especially my 2 year old grandaughter. They looked after her and spoilt her rotten.
Well done to each and everyone of them.

We went with only 1 child who had the time of her life and all thanks to staff at Hot Stuff Restaurant within the hotel. They took time to make friends with her and nothing was ever too much. They are now her new best friends!
The food in this restaurant was absolutely brilliant so we never needed to travel into Marmaris itself (Antique Palace is situated in Armutalan slightly outside). I can recommend the Testi and Ottoman Kebabs and the Fajitas.
Thanks to the Manager Kadir (Tom Jones), James, Rami, Daniel, Homdi, Yussuf (Cheeky), Elvis, Rosa and the chefs who all work very hard to give you the best holiday. Ask advice and they will tell you what to do and where to go without selling you it!

The Club Antique Palace hotel is ideal for families with young children but apart from that there are negatives.
The lower level/ground floors were infested with cockroaches throughout the week, this wasn't helped buy the fact that air conditioning for a room was very expensivre and a rip off!
Marmaris is a wonderful place, unfortunately not matched by this particular hotel.

What can I say about the turkish people? Well we went on a boat trip (Captain Bullshit) and while at sea we realised we had left a bag containing a camera on the wall outside the hotel. We got back and it had been handed in to the hotel. Wonderful, thank you who ever it was.
All in all we had a great time in Turkey and is always our favorite destination.

At first when we got into our room, it wasnt veryclean and had ants, but as soon as we told the staff at reception it was sorted out straight away and didnt have that problem again.
The entertainment at night was really good with the break-dances, kareoke, the little show the waiters put on every nite, and also the Turkish night was fantastic, the barbeque was brilliant. The staff are all very friendly too.
The location of the hotel was far back but there is very good shaops bars and resturants all close by. But just jump on a dolmus thats stops anywere for 1 lira (40p) and it takes you down to the beach front.
People do have different views on the hotel but I went with quite alot of Family and they all absalutly loved every single minute at the place.
Altogether I thought the time at Antique palace was Brilliant and we have booked to go back next year and cant wait!
I seriously DO reccomend this place to everyone!
