Labranda Mares Marmaris garners mixed reviews, with guests praising its stunning location and clean, well-maintained facilities. While some travelers revel in the hotel's lively cultural vibe, others find the entertainment lacking and the decor outdated. The service and room upkeep are inconsistent, with some staff members noted as unprofessional.
Though rooms are deemed in need of an update, the cleanliness and views often compensate. The value proposition is debated; some guests find the all-inclusive offerings underwhelming, while others feel satisfied with what they receive for the price.

I would definitely recommend Labranda Mares Marmaris. I stayed in the main part of the hotel on the 3rd floor which had stunning views of the sea and Marmaris. The hotel is really well managed especially during Covid-19. You are expected to wear a mask unless you are eating, drinking or sunbathing. Tables are well spaced out and there is plenty of room to eat during breakfast, lunch and dinner comfortably. The pool is relatively small but the sunloungers are also spaced out and you can also use the beach area (which is concrete but still beautiful) or the jetty to sunbathe so there is a lot of choice and space. The hotel is not too big and therefore easy to get around. There are a number of bars that you can use including in the lobby, the beach, during the night entertainment and some alcoholic drinks you can get during dinner. Because of Covid-19 you ask for what food you want when you go round and they put it on a plate for you which is much better. Food is not as varied as some all inclusives I have been to but the quality of the food is excellent. I never had a problem with anything I ate and I never left hungry. The mountains across the sea feel so close and are absolutely stunning. It is really nice to get into the sea and have that on your doorstep. Had one issue with needing an iron which they could not provide during Covid-19 but they offered someone to iron our clothes which we had to pay for. We didn't mind but when we passed over our clothes they were washed, dry cleaned and ironed which is quite costly and we refused to pay this as that is not what we asked for. Reception dealt with this very professionally and for that reason it is just something that happened and is not something that made me mark down the hotel. Entertainment was slightly lacking on some evenings and fantastic on others. Overall peaceful, pleasant, beautiful and a wonderful experience. I would definitely go back.

This was quite adequate and had aircon fridge and safe included.
Was a little walk to the main hotel but not too far
The breakfast was always pleasant I like porridge so was quite happy but there was quite a lot to choose from
Lunch you can use the main restaurant or the snack bar.
We used the snack bar most days. Nice and relaxed and nice meatballs and burgers with table service
Dinner was more of an issue
Due to covid had to queue which was fine but some people just don't get it and it becomes annoying when people walk to the front and get served. Also no social distancing being observed.
Food was generally good.
The waiters were always polite and helpful
The beach areas although are not supposed to be reserved were on a daily basis so was hard to get a bed but not impossible and people didn't stay all day you you could swap about
If on the furthest pontoon it's hard to get a drink as it's a bit of a walk and no service.
We tended to spend half the time at the pool upstairs which was quiter. Slides opened in the morning and then in the afternoon from 3 until 5
There were different entertainment on during the day we enjoyed the darts. The stuff were fun.
The evening entertainment was OK
Bars were open until 12
We did use the spa too which was clean and comfortable. Treatment was adequate.
We were not leaving until 7pm so wanted a late check out.
You cannot get one until the day you leave which is slightly frustrating but we were able to eventually get on at extra cost
The hotel check your temperature every time you come into the hotel and each time you enter the restaurant
The staff wear masks but nearly all guests don't and there is not social distancing in the queues in the restaurants
There is had sanitiser everywhere which is good and you can request a mask
Overall the holiday was very enjoyable
The staff were very good
I would rate the hotel as good

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Staying at the resort right now and it is absolutely fantastic! Location is brilliant with stunning sea views from bars/restaurants. The territory is huge and very well kept, beautiful gardens and overall very clean. Staff are friendly and hardworking, not everyone speak English but understand basic requests, never had issues. If you have something to discuss, people at reception and guest relations are more than happy to help. We are staying at bungalows and have a room at the far end of the resort. It is quite a trek uphill from the main building so if you have any mobility issues definitely let hotel know in advance but if you prefer quieter area it is perfect. Rooms are a bit basic but the bathroom is large with very good shower pressure. Beds are comfy and the balcony is huge. Rooms being cleaned every day. Personally really enjoyed the food, always fresh and plenty of choice, we ate dinner early and the food was always piping hot. Entertainment is limited due to covid but we prefer spending days at the lovely beach. Sunbeds get occupied very quickly but you can always ask staff and they will bring out more and find you a spot! Our favourite bit was a dolphin park, you can watch a show or swim & play with them yourself! Swimming is £70 but would 100% recommend it. We are really enjoying our stay and will be very sad to leave. Will be coming back next year.

Me and my boyfriend just returned home from an amazing 1 week holiday. Regardless of coronavirus we felt safer there than we did back home in Manchester. Temperature check when arriving back into the hotel and also when entering the buffet restaurant. There are several hand sanitizer stations around the hotel. The hotel provide you with masks just ask for a mask at the reception they are free of charge. If you go in a taxi you don’t have to wear a mask if your with your own family. We Stayed in a bungalow room Although they were cleaned everyday they need updating. The entertainment is of quite a low standard compared to other hotels we have visited around turkey. The food was to a good standard there was only 3 A’la carte open wich was the; camlik beach restaurant, Luigi Italian and also the meyhane fish and the yunus buffet. The bar are open till 12 if you want to get a drink afterward you have to pay. Very relaxing spa, all the staff are very friendly and helpful at the hotel. If you have a late flight you can use the shower located in the spa for free of charge
We will be back in the future

Just got back from an 8 night stay here, myself and my husband. Lovely hotel, very clean, staff very helpful, cant do enough for you. Room was small and abit dated, but clean. Fresh towels daily, a kettle and fridge in the room and bottles of water provided daily. A big balcony but not private, your literally sat with your neighbours. No problem to us tho as we dont go to sit in the room alot. Pool area was big, clean and well maintained. A few games throughout the day from the entertainment team. It does state beach hotel but there is no sand just stone, plenty of sunbeds down there but you need to get there early to get one. Food was good no complaints from us, we felt plenty of choices to be had and enjoyed it. We had a lovely relaxing break. Only one downside, we wasn’t getting picked up till 18.30 on our last day. We asked to keep the room on which it stated was 40€ till 18.00. We were happy to pay this but they claimed the hotel was full to capacity and they needed the room.🤔 so they offered for us to keep our bags in a locked room and we could use the spa to shower and change. The showers in the changing rooms wasn’t working so had to use other ones at the back of the spa, to then walk round to changing rooms to dress. And worst thing was they don’t provide a towel. Not happy but wasn’t gonna let this ruin are lovely holiday. We would definitely return to this hotel, altho try to be on an earlier flight home.

This Hotels location and Sea Bay views are amazing, Every member of staff are so polite and helpful and just want you to enjoy every moment at this hotel. Spacious Bedrooms, real comfortable beds, Power shower, clean towels every day, Food is amazing quality and varied, Soft drinks all branded "Pepsi" for example, Tubourg Lager and quality Wines. Entertainment different every night with some amazing acts and groups. Bus service into both towns Marmaris and Icmeler every ten minutes, 10 Lira which is 50 pence, or Taxi fixed price 80 Lira = £4 amazing value. But a pleasant walk along the waterfront to both towns, Marmaris or Icmeler did the walk several times a bit of a distance but most enjoyable. Turkey is Amazing and the,"Labranda Mares Hotel,Marmaris", is that famous "Tina Turner" song. "SIMPLY THE BEST". This Revue by, George & Brenda Ambrose, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham.

We decided to have a last minute holiday to escape the UK weather. We were not disappointed, considering the pandemic restrictions, inasmuch the hotel took every possible precaution. Temperature testing, sanitiser readily available, sealed cutlery and masks worn by all staff. Sadly not all customers were compliant and in some cases very rude and inconsiderant of others!
The food was ok with a choice of fish, meat, pasta, pizza etc always available. Our room was cleaned everyday and disinfected once a week and the sea view was amazing. Public areas were spotless and relaxed, including the pool and sunbathing areas.
My only little complaint was the lack of sand at the beach area, inasmuch it was all man made and a bit shabby.
Overall for the price we paid, it was good value for money!

Very big hotel lots of shops in the lobby. About 5 mins taxi into marmaris cost 50TL and we hired mopeds for £14 a day and drove around there’s lots to do marmaris is lovely! The hotel is very big and the waterfront is just beautiful. All inclusive isn’t really all inclusive there’s lots of extra charges for certain alcohol, cocktails restaurants etc.we had a small bag of washing and the prices were disgusting 58 euros for a small plastic bag of washing. we have an outside balcony room and the downside is there’s two rooms next to each other on one balcony so it is not private which is a shame because the people staying next to us had to come on our balcony to get in there room so we never sat outside for this reason. We didn’t know about this prior booking and wouldn’t return because of these reasons. Our shower seal had broken so every time we used the bathroom floor and outside the bathroom would be soaking. Housekeeping is very good and helpful fresh towels every day and a room clean if you wanted. The food is ok but not amazing, they focus on quantity rather than quality. The fresh food stations are better than the buffet areas. Wouldn’t bother all inclusive it’s so much cheaper to eat out and there is definitely nicer hotels in marmaris avoid any extra charges in the hotel and go into the town instead because it’s daylight robbery

So myself and family have just returned from 8 nights at the Labranda Mares in Marmaris. We were initially impressed at the clean and covid-secure public areas and restaurant, but then we saw a lot of people not wearing the masks and no staff challenging them. We then went to the on-site 'beach' only to find there is NO SAND! And NO MATRESSES for the sunbeds, just solid hard plastic! When Irina the Russian / Ukranian guest relations she said 'due to Covid' but every other local hotel had the mattresses in use and just cleaned them every night!. The Aircon only worked until 1st October as the Management then turned it off in the rooms, even though it was 33 degrees! Food selection was appalling, with the same every night, and unless you were first in the queue, you didn't get croissants or cornflakes! Worst holiday in Turkey EVER.Positives: Gilderay the Meeting PointRep was amazing, sending us on lovely diving and boat trips, and Ceylan the young Turkish girl that brought our coffees and the girls in the patisserie were just lovely - so friendly and happy and spoke English (not Russian). We will NOT be returning.

Dear chrisy433, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on your recent stay. We are very sad to learn that you did not have an enjoyable stay at our hotel as so many other guests have done. We do not advertise the sand beach to be presented at the hotel. We are truly sorry to read that you found the selection of food we offer at the hotel appalling. We do our very best to offer a choice of dishes every day and to be honest, are rather surprised that you were disappointed. This year due to Covid-19 precautions the hotel management took decision not to put mattresses on sunbeds. It is unrealistic to have the same expectations that would be reasonable pre-COVID-19 times. We sincerely hope that you visit us again so that we can prove our high standards to you. Yours sincerely, Your Labranda Mares Team

Evening entertainment was OK there was something every night.Rooms were cleaned daily but did have to keep asking for toilet rolls .water bottles were replaced every day. Even though food wasn't to good we did have a lovely time here .
