me and my family have now been to club cettia twice, i couldn't fault these apartments in anyway, the rooms are cleaned everyday by maids without fail, they rooms are left immaculater after they have been cleaned, all staff are the nicest people you will ever meet, they make sure your holiday is as excellent as you expect it to be, ... oh a really big shout out to james the chef as this year they apartments have started doing half-board and james has made a great job of it . the food was absolutley gorgeous, thanks to him, inbetween doing all prepration for breakfast and tea, he is also cooking meals for the self-catering people , this must be such hard work for him, but he always makes the food perfect .. he is also so funny when he tries to copy my geordie accent hahaa... honestly there is no and i repeat no down sides to these apartments, so if you see any bad reviews about club cettia just take no notice of them as they are just being complete and utter moaners..... all bar, waiter, reception staff and chefs are very friendly ... the photographer sencer is the best photographer i have ever met, the entertaintment team is great especially ozzy & naz... and pool boy ali (osman) dont speak much english but he is really really nice,

the entertainment is on every single night and its always great, .. throughout the day there is darts, killer pool, waterpolo, slides, afternoon quiz etc. sounds great doesn't it. i loved all day every day at cettia .. all staff are always up for a laugh even the manager, the manager salim is really nice he talks to you to make sure your enjoying your holiday , he sometimes even goes behind the bar and starts juggling haha it's really entertaining...

when i was there it was my brothers birthday so my dad paid a small price for a cake, birthday banners, champange and firework sort of things, this was all thanks to ash as he organised all this for us, so if your celebrating any special occasions while your here and you want to give someone a suprise for they occasion just ask ash the waiter , the price is really cheap, and the night will be a great suprise for someone.

as you can see i could talk all day about club cettia but i'm going too.

just book up as you really don't know what your missing...

i love club cettia <3

We seemed to get a cracking deal on half-board at Club Cettia Appartments. The lack of a supermarket of [food] substance within reasonable walking distance of the apartments made full use of the self-catering facilities a non-starter. Our breakfast and evening meal was brought down from the Grand Cettia Hotel next door.
You could get a fresh omelette made on the spot each day and for an extra 5 TL you could procure 1 small rasher of back bacon and 1 small proper sausage with your breakfast! I stuck to a fresh omelette and glass of orange juice most mornings. Tea and coffee do come as part of the breakfast package and can be ordered in the bar area. Evening meals were adequate with the full 3 courses available. Cold meats and preserves at breakfast and salads, deserts and side-dishes in the evening were left exposed to the outside elements (flies, wasps and hornets...) for the full 2 hours of both meals each day which was the only downside to the food. Fortunately, neither of us came down with anything.
The hotel is justifiably a 4 star establishment, but the apartments are more like 3 stars if you ask me.
We could use the hotels facilities such as Sauna, jacuzzi and indoor pool free of charge.
Turkish Bath, body, face and foot massages are optional extra's, We did go for the full 'deluxe' bath and massage package and it was just great even if slightly costly at

Addendum to report below...
Club Cettia Appt's
We were placed on level 5 (Room 505) which had all the hallmarks of a loft conversion. That is two thirds of the roof space are the roof rafters! Now this might be rather quaint at home sending the occasional guest up to the converted loft room for the night, but when you're banging your head into these beams for your first 24 hours it's not so quaint! So, if you're over 6ft don't accept one of these Hobbit type rooms! We booked on New Years eve and you would think the longer in advance you book the better the room location you would receive??

Food
I have to mention the Taj Mahal Indian restaurant on the main Marmaris to Icmeler Road. It's sort of halfway between the Cettia and the main resort and about a 20 minute walk. The quality of this Food from a Bradford chef supposedly is out of this world. You'd struggle to find this high level of quality on your average UK High Street. 2 Courses and a bottle of plonk are a very reasonable 36 TL apiece.

The hotel was very clean, no problems.

The food was ok, but my partner and the children eat out every morning and we went out in the evening for tea towards the end of the week as the food became very repetitive. I would recommend eating at the Rock & Roll bar as the full English breakfast is excellent. And in the evening at the rock & roll bar the staff go out of their way to entertain you and make sure you have a great evening.

Overall a good hotel and I would recommend it.

We arrived in the early hours about 7am and as there was a whole coach load of us it took a while to check in, but I suppose this is better than having loads of drop offs on the way to the Hotel.

Rooms: First impressions were very good. The rooms are large and well appointed. Air con, hair-dryer, mini fridge (with two bottles of water already supplied). There were 2 largish single beds and a double sofa bed in out room. Plenty of space for a couple but could be tight for families.

Food: wasn't the best i've had but was perfectly adequate and quite varied. Breakfast was eggs, beans, potatoes or various cereals and fruit. or you can get an omelette or crepes cooked fresh at the outdoor grill. Lunch and dinner were better with around 10 choices such as turkey curry, roast beef, rice, pasta - loads of variety but not always easy to put together a traditional meal. There is always fries, fresh pizza and chicken nuggets if you don't like what's on offer. Must mention the salads though - always very crisp and fresh and because they were so good I didn't put on as much weight as I usually do!

If you do fancy a change (or a full english) just pop across the road to Star Bux where you can get a lovely fry up for 5 lyra.

Drinks: The bar staff were brilliant and gave large measures. There's a 2 drink per person per visit rule, but they are flexible if they can see you're in a larger group. I saw one group trying it on and trying to fill their table with drinks before the 11pm cut off and the barman said no. Ha ha serves them right.

Staff. All the staff spoke excellent English and were the friendliest I have ever known. They were also very funny and seemed very happy to help.

The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the sea but save yourself the trouble and jump on the Dolomus that stops outside the hotel. Bus number 3, blue and white. It's only 1.25 lyra and takes you right down to the marina. The bus stop is outside Burger King and McDonalds and it's near the castle which would take you 30-40 minutes to walk. You can jump on a dolomus anywhere, just stick your arm out.

Trips: Went on a boat trip, a turkish night and to see Ephesus. You can book these slightly cheaper from the many excursion sellers, but do you need the hassle of haggling to save a fiver? The trip to ephesus was a long day as it's 3 hours away but worth it as it's the best roman city ruins I've seen. If you go down to the marina you'll get to see the boats that do the trips and book them there and then. Check whether food and drink is included and don't pay the first price!

My first trip to Turkey and I loved it. It's so green and lush, and doesn't look like a war zone once you step outside the resort. The people are also very friendly and will laugh and joke with you so give them a smile.

Can't wait to go back!

arrived in the early hours so very tired but booking in really quick into rooms almost immediately.had rooms in annexe all on same floor(level 2)luckily.rooms really clean and ample for the time that you spend in them.no trouble getting beds round the pool but we were there near end of season.all staff at this hotel are really lovely and eager to please.the entertainment crew eddy,gerry and ozzy worked tirelessly practically all day and night to keep everybody happy and did a really good job.food was really good,if you didnt like the food in main restaurant there was always the snack bar with pizza,chips and nuggets and the only time you couldnt get anything was about 5.30-7.00pm.we love marmaris and particularly this hotel my kids are already asking to go back again soon!!

our holiday was the best ever the staff were very frendly and went out of thier way to help u , the rooms were very clean and we had fresh towels every day , food was excellent but was'nt a lot of choice for children . the pool was lovely and all the staff around it was wonderful we could'nt of asked for a better holiday except we should of stayed longer.

This resort is absolutely fantastic! Do not be fooled by comments, honestly I would recommend this hotel for anyone and everyone. The food is absolutely delicious and I have no complaints to make about it. The amount and variety that was avaliable was superb and great quality. I helped myself to a bit of everything every night! The hotel is clean, tidy and stunning. All staff were friendly and approachable, especially the entertainment staff who were fantastic. Both bar staff and waiters greeted you with a friendly face and couldn't be more polite and friendly. Absolutely no regrets and will hopefully be returning next year. I recommend that everyone goes here, it is 100% worth the money and an experience you will never forget.

This is the first time I have tried AI and I was very impressed. The buffet style was perfect and gave a wonderful selection of food - although I have to say that their idea of a sausage is really a hot dog. I especially enjoyed the Turkish Nights when kebabs were on the menue. They were delicious and nothing like a kebab here. There was lots of fresh salad and fruit available and the desserts were lovely. The breakfasts were not as good but you could get an omlette and pancakes outside if you did not wish a continental breakfast. There are various snacks available throughout the day i.e freshly baked pizza, chips, burgers etc. All local drinks, soft drinks, tea and coffe are unlimited however the bar closes at 11.00pm. You can purchase drinks after this time - just get a green card from the reception and top it up with money. once you buy your drinks they will deduct this from your card. I have to say thought the drink is expensive and if you were looking for something to drink after 11.00pm I would suggest going to one of the local bars who were much cheaper.
The rooms were spacious and were cleaned on a daily basis. The cleaners were lovely and worked round the clock to keep the resort clean. The air conditioning was ok but considering it was dealing with temperatures of up to 49 degrees, I think it worked well.
The Hotel was a bit off the main resort but that suited us fine. A Dolomush stopped right outside and only charged 1 turkish lira per person to take you to the beach. However there are other dolomush that go past the resort but they are slightly dearer (1.25 TL) and take you to the marina end of the beach.
The hotel staff were wonderful. They went out their way to make the holiday the best it could be. My son celebrated his 18th birthday whilst we were there and the restaurant manager organised for a table to be set aside and a cake was made for him. It certainly made is a birthday to remember! The reception staff were lovely and spoke fairly good english. The enterainment staff were the best. My daughter was too old for the kids club but the entertainment team always made sure that we were included in the fun in the evening. My daughter especially enjoyed the club dance which we usually joined in albeit from our balcony.
We would definately visit again - in fact I am in the process of booking up for next year!

Fantastic Hotel ideal for Family's with kids of all ages. Service across the board was off a very high standard, evening entertainment is the only real down side to this holiday as although there was something every night it was for a very short period and was always on completion of bingo which could last in excess of one hour.
However if its entertainment your looking for there is loads of night life in the town centre which last well into the morning.
fantastic hotel and would recommend everyone to stay here
looking to book already for next year
