D Maris Bay is a dream. If you have the budget go for it! A very earthly dream. But you know in your dreams you turn right and left, the pillow drops and you feel strange. But after you wake up you think oh, my Lord! great God! I saw a dream, I were in you high heavens, how lucky I were! Thanks so much for this bliss! That's D Maris Bay. An Earthly Dream. Still very good but, comparing 2023 D Maris with 2024 there are certain changes. Changes indicating that there is a huge emphasis on cost savings and reducing the size, volume etc. but still very good. Breakfast is still excellent. World class great buffet. Runners and staff changed, few seniors running the show. Reduction also effected breakfast service, you have to wait for the staff to come and give you what you want, and obvious junior staff with minimal training. Coffee is still a problem, politely with an average taste. Rooms are still very good but beware, signs of wear out in some appliances show the maintenance and better inspection needs, like electric outlets coming out if you accidentally pull the plug without holding the fixtures. Room service has started giving gifts in the evening shifts. Thank you so much. But after all does the hotel client needs these bracelets and evil eye. Thanks again. Slippers diminished due to cost reduction. Only female slippers. Shower gowns one size and if you are big, makes a funny appearance and does not cover some of your body. Soap service is also reduced. This year there is Etro branded new items. Very nice. Still superb, very tidy and clean rooms. Thanks to the room service. Still complimentary drinking water. Thanks so much. Tesekurler. Beaches clean and wonderful but, are there signs of pollution ? There is a heavier traffic of shuttle boats then last year and from time to time there are soapy substance on the water with some dirt and debris, could very well be neutral due to wind, or may be some unresponsive being may clean his bucket to the sea. Beach music went down I am afraid and sorry to say last year was far more superior. This years beach music is like a repetition. DJ enjoying dancing with the repetitious melody. Also sound system had some distorted sounds. Things wear out on beaches. Beach shuttle boats still excellent. Caddies still excellent. The cookie shop that serves cookies unfortunately changed their receipt. They had some magnificent cookies last year which turned into small and umami taste tries. Coffee is superior in the cookie shop on the beach. Also great gelato shop as last year. Dining is still very good. Still many alternatives. This year there are new Heute couture shops, for those who would like to dress in heavens. During 2024 stay we had only one negative interaction that was not nice, but such things happen and you forgot and who cares a wrong note in the Ode to Joy ? We had none in 2023 and I guess this is due to the high turnover in personnel and new comers may think they own the heave
