If you don't mind being bombarded with large groups of ignorant people then you will love this hotel!
Personally I don't want to be in a hotel which is overrun with obnoxious groups of 'boys' on a lads holiday. They completely overtook the pool the first week we were there -I had a few choice words with two lads who decided to go down the waterslide together on a lilo and landed on my daughters head - they thought it was highly hilarious needless to say I did not.
They also found it necessary to stomp around the marble stairways and slamming doors at all hours of the night. On more than one occasion I had to go out at 3 or 4 in the morning and tell them to shut up - I even spoke to their rep!
The hotel itself is basic by normal standards - we had a studio room which had three beds but the room was quite large. We had 2 balconies, a small kitchenette with 2 electric rings, fridge/freezer and a kettle. One good thing about this hotel is the fact they have free air conditioning!!!
The bathroom is compact but very nicely decorated. The hotel is split into 6 blocks and as usual have not enough sunbeds to go round (we counted 82). Some only had the sun until 12:30 pm, others till 2:30 and the last ones only until 4:00 pm so not very well planned. With this in mind if you were not up and had your towel on a sunbed by 8:00 am you had no chance!!! They had a helter skelter type water slide which was popular and was switched on/off according to how the staff were feeling on that day!
The bar lads were OK - there was Crazy, Tommy, Franco and William. Beer is quite reasonably priced in the bar 3 lira for a large draught and 3

This holiday was sold as a great family holiday in a wonderful family complex. After 2 days my wife & I were trying to book a flight home, I am an ex navy diver well used to sleeping rough in under developed countries but I will not put my family through this complete shambles ever again, my complaints have been ignored since coming home.
Staff were under constant pressure to take as much money from us as possible by inventing bills & adding to room bills (pay as you go, do not build a room bill).
We hope you have a better time than us as a yearly holiday is an expensive thing to go wrong.
We are off to the Greek Isles as we have been for many years in 6 days, so looking forward to putting to bed the nightmare of Marmaris, Good Luck.
PS 18 to 30 will have a great time.

I have been going to the Maxwell for a number of years now, I am going again in June 2006 and I think it is great, it is in a very good position to every where you mite want to go! There is only a couple of down sides to the place which are as everyone says is the lack of sun beds!
Well in fact it is not a lack it is the sun only says on one place all day and the rest go in to the shade! And there are a lot of young Dutch groups which are quite lively! You will find most people from the UK who stay are families! All the staff are very good and will do anything to help! I would recommend this hotel to anybody!
Except people who are looking for a quiet hotel because it is a place based on fun! And if you do go you will find most people have stayed there more than once! Have a great holiday! p.s a Turkish bath is a must!

If you would like a fun and enjoyable holiday you should go to this hotel.
The pool area is clean and has a fun slide for the kids there is a bar with cheap drinks and good entertainment of a night.
The rooms are clean and have got free air conditioning and have enough space for everyone. The beds are comfortable and have nice clean sheets on and made for you every night.
I have not got a bad word to say about this hotel I absolutely loved it.

The Maxwell Holiday Club Apts are made up of four seperate blocks each of four floors. Luckily we stayed in the main block which is the only one with a lift. We had requested upper floor and pool view, and that is what we got. The Apt was clean and well furnished, with two easy chairs in the living room and a small kitchen area with table, chairs and a (clean) fridge. There was an electric kettle and the usual two rings but no toaster. There was enough storage space for the two of us and the shower/toilet were clean. Only two bath towels supplied, no hand towels or 'bath mat' for stepping out of the shower. As we've been SC to Turkey several times we'd taken our own hand towels (or you could buy them "cheap as chips" in the market). We did have a bit of a problem with water dripping in to our shower from the Apt above when they used their's. We mentioned it to Rececption, but nothing seemed to change and as it didn't bother us that much we didn't make a fuss.
A big plus was FREE air conditioning in BOTH the living room and bedroom, which worked very effectively. Our experience of SC in Turkey is that you usually have to pay about
