Marcan Resort Hotel

My solo traveler holiday to Oludeniz was excellent. It was my first visit to Turkiye, and I was keen to ease myself into the holiday. The journey there was event free - my extra legroom seat on the flight was a good choice - arriving relaxed and rested. Although my late night arrival at the hotel was very informal and without much guidance from the limited staff on duty, the welcome was warm and assuring. My first 24 hours of orientation was also very relaxed, and I met TUI rep Serkan (Muhittin Serkan Zaman)- who was to become a great asset to me across the fortnight. His insights, and readiness to learn what I wanted from the holiday - revealed a truly person-centred mindset. His life experience and his warmth encouraged me to venture out across the days. I explored the area, using dolmuş bus services to get about. I booked a few excursions through Serkan, and they were all high quality. The Marcan Resort Hotel is a nicely appointed hotel and is staffed well. All staff I met struck me as being committed to making the place work well, and were happy to hear my feedback on minor things I noted. It seemed that early May marked the on-ramping (I think that is what we would call it, these days) of new staff, and they were working with each other to build their knowledge and skills. I arrived right at the start of the season, and the maintenance team were clearly busy fixing bits and pieces. I found that the bidet facility on the combination toilet was constantly flowing, and my minor irritation was acted upon without delay. However it was never quite fixed. It was a very minor issue. The pool is very well maintained and the whole environment around it was very pleasing - a nice space - catching the sun while affording the opportunity to gaze upwards at the acrobatics of Oludeniz’s famous paragliding daredevils, descending overhead to the beach 500 metres away. The dining experience at Marcan resort was a daily highlight, every dish served with assurance and enthusiasm by the chef and his team, who were ever-present in the dining area. Breakfast was as varied as you would wish. There is a fresh fried egg / omelette / pancake stand, so diners can request what they like, alongside the hard boiled and scrambled onions. I requested an apple pancake a couple of times, and the resulting dish was a delight. The mood is relaxed, informal and everyone seems very keen that you enjoy the food. Lunch and dinner were always something to anticipate with some pleasure. Each dish - mostly, I think - showcasing Turkish lokanta cuisine. It was always cooked with care, and the staff were keen to explain the dishes if required. My favourites were the various grilled fish dishes, and the lovely salads that I could assemble from the many platters. Fresh fruit became more abundant as the days went by. All inclusive hotels do seem to struggle a bit when it comes to desert dishes - the ubiquity of cake, in all its forms - is a staple. Here the cakes were varied, pro

Just came home after a fantastic week in Oludeniz. It was our first time here and we were a bit apprehensive after reading negative things. We stayed at The Marcan Resort, this hotel is beautiful, rooms were basic but clean, pool area, restaurant and hotel were amazing. We came at beginning of season so hotel was quiet but gradually picked up as we were there. This place has had some negative reviews from last year but we had no issues at all, staff were all pleasant and friendly, the food was delicious and we ate there every meal. Please bear in mind it’s an international hotel so food may not be to everyone’s taste, lots of Turkish dishes but executive chef was always on hand to help. All the staff from every depar**ent were super friendly, take the time to say hello and they will chat to you. The executive chef is always on hand at meal times and is happy to answer any questions you may have. The entertainment staff a super friendly and will always say hi and stop for a conversation. We found Turkey to be no dearer than the UK for food/drinks and the shopping was fantastic for clothes lol. I’d advise everyone go and just enjoy your holiday, take what money you can afford and you’ll soon be able to budget within your means out there. Prices may have gone up significantly compared to other years but look at the UK, it’s no different to what we have done.

Third time visiting the Marcan resort it never disappoints having a fantastic time amazing location lovely staff, clean rooms and great food, nice chilled vibe round the pool and lots of fun and games with Memhet the fantastic entertainments manager!

Eşim ve çocuğumla kaldım, temiz, yemekleri ***et güzel, personel nazik, her konuda yardımcı oluyorlar. Otel denize çok yakın bu ayrıca hoşumuza gitti. İmkanları yeterli, 3 öğün yemek var. Gelecek sefere yine bu otele gelmeyi düşünüyoruz.

Lovely hotel, stayed for 7 nights. Good entertainment. Solomon was a very nice man as well as Dalis. Dalis helped us with any questions we had, he was a great laugh and made you feel welcome. We tried many new Turkish foods which were really nice. Definitely a hotel to come back too!!☀️

We went out of season so everything was shutting up around us, if we had of known this we would of booked to go a different time of year, although mehmet which was the entertainment was a really nice chap that looked after us and made us laugh so much…. The hotel was lovely and clean but there wasn’t a great variety of food it was the same thing (again probably because it was out of season) there was a young lad that worked in the restaurant that worked tirelessly think his name was Isaac he looked after us and always greeted us with a smile!

Very good hotel. Good size swimming pool, the entertainment team mehmat and thomas are very good. Staff are friendly. Just a short walk from the shops and beach. Rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels and mopped floors. Great views. Free transfers to private beaches. Good family holiday!

The Marcan Resort was one of the friendliest hotels I have stayed in. From arrival, the team did their best to accommodate us, offering a choice of rooms. There was a good range of foods, the rooms and around the hotel was clean and plenty of sun loungers around the pool for everyone. We liked the location in proximity to the town - far enough away to be quiet but not far to walk. Special acknowledgment to Mehmet the entertainment manager.
