Orka Lotus Beach

Overall, it was a great vacation! On the way from the airport, we stopped where they offered to exchange money "at a good rate." Later, when we saw the actual exchange rate in the city, we realized we'd rushed it. We were checked into the hotel right away, and our room was excellent—modern, clean, and quiet. The minibar was refilled daily. The only thing we were a little disappointed with was the housekeeping; it could have been better. There aren't many Russian tourists at the hotel, mostly Europeans. However, there was a Russian-speaking girl at reception, which was convenient. When choosing a room, keep in mind that those with a sea view can be noisy, while those facing the forest are quieter. The hotel itself is located between Icmeler and Marmaris—a convenient location because hotels in Marmaris are very close together. The grounds are well-maintained, the air is fresh, and there are almost no insects. The entrance to the sea is small pebbles. Beach towels were provided promptly, without any hassle. The staff is polite and unobtrusive, and the service is excellent—it's clear they're dedicated to ensuring guests' satisfaction. There are pools for adults and children, water slides, water activities, and a disco in the evening. Spa prices are high, but the sauna and pool are free. The on-site photographers seemed expensive and unfriendly; it's better to hire locals—you can find cheaper, better quality ones online, and some speak Russian. The food was excellent: a varied menu, including soups, meat, sweets, freshly squeezed orange juice, and fruit. There are à la carte restaurants—Turkish, Chinese, and Italian—and there's a hookah bar. We went to Marmaris: there by sea taxi, back by minibus. We walked around the old town, went to the bazaar, and saw the singing fountain. We took different excursions: one with a guide, the others through a local agency in Icmeler. The guided tours were a bit of a disappointment—they spent more time taking us shopping than showing us the city. The agency, however, was excellently organized. You can find the local agency by heading toward Icmeler and reaching the fish monument. Near the fish monument, turn deeper into the village, and after about 50 meters, you'll find "INSU." Say hello to Irina who works there! Overall, we were pleased with our vacation. There were some minor issues, but they didn't spoil the experience. We're glad we chose this hotel and this trip—we'd happily return.

Location was excellent away from the melee of Marmaris but within walking distance. Nice beach and good views. The sea was very calm and good for swimming and watersports. The foyer and main bar are modern and stylish. Accommodation …

Me and my friend visited this hotel last year (2024 August). It was good, we liked the food, hotel, disco, waterslides, waffles, pools... And we have some ideas that could improve the hotel. 1.Water mist: it cools you down, could be where the bar was at the beach (If it's still there) and in other places. 2. A swing: a big one (could be at the beach) It's good, people can take photos there. 3. Dynamic laser: It would be great to have at a party/disco.
