Perfect place to relax or for family to have fun. Facilities were great, absolutely amazing, relaxing vibe. It was perfect for a restorative vacation. Very friendly staff, helpful. Food buffet options were also great and varied from day to day. Hotel also provides tour options, organizes many things for you, making it very easy.
The snacks around the pool bars and beach bar were always the same, some variety would have been nice, but generally they tasted good.

We were upgraded for a better room with the private pool shared between 2 apartment. The 2-bedroom apartment is quite comfortable for family of 4. The view is excellent and very relaxed. The food was perfect with a big choice of everything and even desserts were nice (I usually don't like desserts at all). Mostly French speaking people come to the hotel so entertainment is mainly in French. The beach is small but very nice and without strong waves. In addition to all all inclusive drinks they give you 0.5L water bottle per person per day in the room plus a welcoming bottle of wine.
- Coffee on the breakfast was not tasty but it was possible to drink it after in the beach and pools bars. - water in the coolers also not good enough - There is no surrounding teachable by walking but you can walk on the hills of the hotel itself (not easy, guys, but it's a good training 😜). - There is no place to wash feet and swimming suites near the room as well

The resort itself is quite massive. We travelled as a family (with a 3yo). The place is very family oriented. There are shuttles that take you to the beach and back to reception/restaurant. A convenient place if you plan to just stay in the hotel and relax in its facilities and beach. Might seem like quite a lot to do at first but really you would only be utilising the pool and the restaurant for most of the cases, unless of course you purhcased a tour online from countries that have contracts with the palace (I assume France/Poland being the most oriented). Was really pleased to see that there is constant work going on around to improve the facilities. Some parts seem to be under reconstruction/rennovation, means that owners are working towards improving the place. I guess my rating solely relied on the staff being really friendly. Dionisis and Popi were a highlight. Apart from understanding Greek form of communication, they were great at making contact and just bein really helpful.
I think rennovations are taking place as I write this review but what could improve is the insects in our room. Not sure how they managed to get inside given I ensured all was locked fairly well. I guess its innevitable given the climate and the location of the hotel (green and very humid). Another matter to consider at this hotel is the mosquito bites. They are ninjas./

All inclusive hotel. Fantastic experience from the moment of my arrival. Upon checking in, my family were shuttled to our room and the gentleman handled our bags and told us how to get to the main dining area and pools. There were so many things to do and could be scheduled right at the lobby. Tours can be scheduled on site as well as vehicle rentals. Spa experience was the greatest. Highly recommend!! Receptionist and actually ALL STAFF were so friendly and helpful. Many shops to do last minute shopping for souvenirs. I would definitely stay again. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience.
No atm on the premise. I was not able to tip my masseuse but this is not a deal breaker.

Staff were the nicest and most helpful. The room was spacious, spotless and overlooking the magnificent blue horizon and sea. The 3 pools were quite small for the amount of guests. Board (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was ok nothing to cry about nor to praise.
Well, all-inclusive is not my kind of traveling/staying but I were there to meet relatives. I, for one don’t like crowded places or mass consumption so I would never have ended up in such a place. Wasn’t the best experience for me albeit the commodities were very good.

- the beach next to the hotel is very nice ! - the room we had had a very nice view on the sea ! (not all rooms have that) - the staff was very friendly !
- you walk a lot to go from A to B (there is a shuttle organised if you want). - the amount of people when the hotel is full, which you can feel in the restaurants - the food of the buffet for lunch and dinner which is not very good (but you cannot expect better with so many guests) (however there is plenty of food so you will always find something eatable). - the hotel is far away from shops in the surroundings. so in the evening there is not much to do.

I really enjoyed the kindness of the staff. A big big thank to Mrs Agapi Stamataki, the Supervisor who has made this journey so memorable. She has upgraded me and offered a room with a wonderful sea view. I want to thank Irina, the reception team, restaurant staff, the room cleaner and the whole Marmara team for their positive attitude and amability.
Nothing, everything was wonderful.

The trip was perfect, we came to the hotel and they have upgraded our room to something unbelievable, not only we had quite big private pool for 2 rooms, but also a astonishing view on the seaside and mountains nearby. The private beach of the hotel was in the beautiful bay between two mountains. The food was delicious, but it depends of what you prefer, we really liked all the traditional food. Definitely will come back again 👍

Location and view - super. Food... Usually we can't eat in one place for more than 3 days, but in this hotel we enjoyed the meal for the whole week. My legs hurt after 2 days of stairs and hills on the hotel territory. But after 4 days I felt healthier and younger.
Only French animators near swimming pool.

Mr Pizza man made the best pizza. He served each slice with a warm smile and he was passionate about presentation skills. I had pizza every night. Guaranteed to put a smile on your child's face...or any pizza addict. Great Stone oven. Great man. Also, the facilities were great we enjoyed playing tennis every day, there pools are great and all staff were lovely:) the rooms were comfortable and the all inclusive food was brilliant and such good value!
Where our room was, was very close to where the domestic staff kept their stock which meant they often chatted outside our room waking us up (however this is only 1 specific room so most should be fine!) Also just FYI, The beach's sand is more 'grit' like rather than sand
