Pisces Hotel is in Turunç, a small bay village about half an hour by road from Marmaris, tucked between pine hills and a sheltered beach. The hotel has a private beach with sun loungers and umbrellas, and the facilities include scuba diving, a free full breakfast, free self-parking, an on-site restaurant serving all three meals and a bar, a coffee shop and terrace, a garden, bike rental and tour and ticket assistance. Rooms include a Standard Triple with partial sea view of about 474 square feet, a Deluxe Triple with sea view of about 409 square feet and a Quadruple with partial sea view of about 431 square feet, with a king bed plus twins, so the layout favours families and small groups. Rooms have air conditioning, and Wi-Fi is free in public areas. Check-in is from 1 pm to midnight and check-out is at noon. The hotel has no pool and does not accept pets.
Turunç is a small, relaxed village with a seafront promenade, a handful of restaurants and a fine curve of beach, and it feels far from the larger resorts. Marmaris National Park and Turunç Beach are a one-minute walk from the hotel, and restaurants and a beach club are just along the lane.
Marmaris Beach and the Blue Port shopping centre are about a half-hour drive, and the town's bazaar about thirty-five to forty minutes, so most guests treat the village as their day-to-day base and go into Marmaris for an evening or a boat trip. Water taxis and day boats link Turunç with Marmaris in season.
Who it suits
Families and couples looking for a quiet seaside stay, and divers, who can arrange dives from the village. With only a handful of reviews so far, all of them very positive, treat the rating as encouraging rather than conclusive. The sea in front of the hotel is the main attraction, so this is not the place for guests who need a pool or a spa. Because the house is small, advance booking is wise in July and August.
Practical points
Dalaman Airport is about an hour and three quarters by road, so arrange a transfer, and plan how you will move around, since the village is quiet in the evening and taxis from Marmaris are pricier than the dolmuş that run in season. Out of season the village slows right down; some restaurants and boats close, so check what is open.
The hotel offers an airport shuttle for a surcharge and can arrange tours. For the best of both worlds, stay here and visit Marmaris, Cleopatra Island and Dalyan on day trips with hotel pick-up.
