Blue Marlin Deluxe Spa and Resort

Blue Marlin Deluxe Spa & We are spening 14 nights at the Blue Marlin Deluxe. The biggest strength of this hotel is undoubtedly the staff. Every member of the team has been warm, polite, helpful and genuinely welcoming. The Turkish hospitality has been a real highlight of our stay and has made us feel relaxed and appreciated as guests. The hotel is also extremely clean and well maintained. The food has been consistently good, with a nice variety of dishes and plenty of choice throughout our stay. We did find our standard deluxe room smaller than expected for a two-week holiday. I would not call it deluxe at all.

However, we had an end-block room with a partial sea and pool view, on level 2 which is not high enough to see the sea and aliitle away from the full impact of pool view.

Guests who like more space may wish to consider upgrading to a larger room. The beach area was slightly underwhelming compared with our expectations, and the drinks and evening entertainment could be improved. They were acceptable but did not quite match the standards of the food and service. Having said that, when we reflected on the overall value of our holiday, we felt we had received value for money. Fourteen nights all-inclusive for two people at this price point is difficult to fault. We have particularly enjoyed being in Turkey, experiencing the different environment, culture and the kindness of the people. Overall, this is a very clean and welcoming hotel with excellent staff and good food.

It may not offer a luxury experience in every aspect, but for value for money we would happily recommend it to other looking respectable, budget friendly 2 week vacation.

Lovely hotel i would say 4* nice rooms with nice touches, robes & slippers supplied. Drinks were the best never had to wait to be served. Spotless clean & plenty of sunbeds on the beach & pool. I would of given 5* but we had a issue with one of us is cealic. So needed gluten free & diary free. I did email the hotel in advance so was disappointed when on our 1st day . The member of staff who would deal with was her day off. The manager did try her very best & even asked our friend to write a list of items that she would like. Also everyday & meal times a chef would take her round the dining room & advise when was suitable for her to eat. So top marks for that. There is entertainment at the beach bar everyday except Sunday. Also the cakes were amazing

I would rate the hotel as average. I’ll try to comment on my experience: my friend and I stayed there from October 9 to October 14, 2025. The food selection was average (compared to other hotels we visited at the same time, it doesn’t quite reach a 4-star level). We booked UAI, but it turned out that the staff, following management’s instructions, were serving equivalents of imported drinks instead of the originals. We definitely felt we overpaid and did not receive the quality we expected. There were no activities or animation, except for a DJ one evening 😉. In the lobby bar area and on the residential floors, dirty dishes were constantly left around — possibly due to a shortage of staff. The rooms were clean and maintained daily. I would not want to return there a second time and do not recommend it. — Aleksandras
