Club Marvy

Rooms are incredibly dated and poorly maintained. Basic 3* (at best). It wasnt the luxury experience we were expecting at all. Major dissapointment on arrival to the room. The slides and overall pool areas are excellent, truly fantastic. The hotel caters mostly to french/belgians. If you go with kids - unless they can speak french - they will be lonely and not able to experience the same kids club fun that they others have. Evening entertainment was below par - only 2 shows in 6 days and other resorts in Turkey have nightly activities. A lot of walking up and down hills. The buffet restaurant probably used to be excellent, but the choice and variety is poor now compared to most other high star all-inc places in turkey.

Lovely resort with beautiful pools. Friendly staff and excellent food. The kids club was great too our little one loved it. The only negatives were the bathroom needed updating as the mirror was hanging off the wall and bathtub looked like it has been hastily repaired. However we were at the last week of the season so I'm sure it will be fixed for new guests next year. The outdoor pools were gorgeous but because the weather was colder, so were the pools, so we didnt stay in them long. We used the indoor pool at the spa and gym which was warmer. There were lots of activities at the outdoor pool everyday such as darts, Zumba, aerobics etc. Other activities including mini golf, tennis, canoeing and pedalos. A lovely kids club that had outdoor pool slides and some fairground rides. The restaurant is used for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the buffet food was fantastic. We tried to book an a la carte meal on Tuesday, we arrived the previous Saturday evening, but it was fully booked for the whole week so I would suggest booking that at check in. There were only the 2 restaurants open because the other was closed for the season. We certainly would go back, we had such a relaxing week at Paloma and we didnt feel we needed to leave the resort as there was plenty to do for the week in the resort itself. We got a lot of exercise as there are a lot of stairs and hills but to be honest we needed it after the lovely food and drinks we consumed!

It's a very clean and earth friendly hotel with very polite and friendly staff. We loved the beach, the aqua park (both for adults and kids) the nightly entertaining and especially their open buffet style main restaurant which had a variety of all kinds of food and drinks. From fish to pasta, cheese bar to desserts everything was delicious. There are also couple of other restaurants at the property with beautiful views, however try to make your reservations even before getting there because they fill up fast. The hotel is only a half an hour drive away to historical Ephesus and Virgin Mary's House.

This hotel is newly remodeled with lots of family activities. Unfortunately, the staff is not as helpful or responsive and even sometimes rude. Considering that is this a 5-star resort I would re-think to stay here because of the front desk staff rudeness. The rest of the hotel is a very fun treat. Beautiful pools and beaches and good food. The location is far from airport and Izmir City.
