Hotel Mare Datca

Great location, friendly staff 24/7 reception. Rooms are super clean, feels a bit like early2000’s

Excellent

Best hotel we stayed in do far. Beach right in front. Delicious breakfasts. Lunch and dinners were yummy. Super clean. Friendly and professional staff. We had the best 6 nights. We will definitely be coming back. Very chill. No loud music. Safe.

Hotel Mare is located within just few steps from a public beach, and within a 10 minute walk from Datca center, so its location is great. The facility is clean, and has ample parking available, which is a great plus. However, the rooms are rather basic for the prices they charge. Breakfast is included, which is the standard Turkish “Serpme” (spread - which essentially means buffet style). While their breakfast is heads and shoulders above even the best continental / hot breakfast you will find in Europe or the US, it is below the standards of a decent Turkish Serpme breakfast. While there is good variety, the items themselves are the lower cost versions of their better quality counterparts (e.g. lower quality cheeses and cold cuts, super cheap mass produced packaged jams, etc. ). The facility has a pool, which is relatively small (but who needs a pool when you have crystal clear refreshing turquoise waters of the Aegean just a few steps away). The hot water is provided by solar panels, which is common in Aegean Türkiye, but the system here takes forever for the water to warm up (we waited as long as over 10 minutes). By the facade and outer looks, it looks - and costs - as a premium place, but when you peel of the outer layer, the corner cutting and the cheap construction, relatively poor quality of breakfast becomes obvious. There are also maintenance issues. In summary, it is a decent hotel, but their cost (at relatively high $200+/day, is not justified in our opinion.
