Calido Maris Hotel

5 stars aren't enough for Soner and the Vitamin Bar! The fresh fruit cocktails and smoothies were absolutely heavenly and made every day so much brighter. Soner is a complete standout — one of the kindest, most positive, and most welcoming people you will ever meet. Beyond his amazing personality, he is absolute perfection behind the bar and easily the best bartender I’ve ever seen. The attention to detail, care, and passion he pours into every drink is unbelievable. Soner's brilliant energy and fantastic conversations were the true heart of our holiday—he made our stay unforgettable!

The time I spent there wasn’t bad at all. But honestly, if it hadn’t been for the Vitamin Bar and Soner, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. I’d happily give him a 5-star rating, not just because he makes great cocktails, but because of the kind of person he is. The aqua aerobics instructor is another person I’d like to highlight. Doing the same thing every day for months with that much energy and enthusiasm—hats off to them. I definitely couldn’t do it! The evening entertainment wasn’t bad either. Although, to be fair, after 9 PM I was usually at the cocktail bar… 😉 A few constructive comments about the hotel: I don’t think I’m the only one who misses having really good coffee. In fact, I think many guests would be willing to pay extra for it if necessary—I certainly would. As for whether I would come back… Maybe just so I could chat with Soner again at the bar. 😊

Cleanliness is the most important factor for me when choosing a hotel, and this place exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness of the rooms, the freshness of the towels, and the sparkling pool really put our minds at ease. The hotel's overall layout and maintenance were also excellent. Kudos to everyone involved.

I had a wonderful stay at Calido Maris and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The rooms were always clean and well maintained, and the entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely willing to help. While communication in English could sometimes be a little challenging, everyone always did their best to understand and assist with a smile, which I really appreciated. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. There was an impressive variety every day, both in the main restaurant and at the snack bars, so it was impossible to get bored. Everything was fresh, tasty, and there was something for everyone. The hotel is a bit away from the city, but that's actually one of its strengths. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday, it has everything you need to spend two peaceful weeks without worrying about anything. The pools are excellent, and the private beach is beautiful and only about a 5-minute walk away. A special thank you goes to IBO, who made our evenings even more enjoyable with the shisha. He was always kind, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making everyone feel welcome. Thank you, IBO, for your hospitality and for making our stay even more memorable. I would definitely recommend Calido Maris to anyone looking for a relaxing all-inclusive holiday with great food, clean facilities, and genuinely caring staff.

To start it's our first time in turkey and at the Calido Maris. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere which is not the hotels fault, it's just how it is. We went with Love holidays and the rep who is called Lockman is a joke, offered a free shuttle service to "markets" which was a "Turkish Primark" which it wasn't, it's all branded or fakes but good fakes in certain cases the purses are made of cardboard and the bags and clothes aren't the correct sizes. Back to the hotel; some of the hotel staff are very rude, unless you speak Russian or German or polish it's pointless trying. Some staff at the bars like Firat on the -1 floor bar are amazing, some in the lobby bar are extremely rude and just don't care. The wait staff in the restaurant don't want to help English, only the Russians and Germans like they splash the cash more. So basically so far if you aren't Russian German or Turkish they don't care or are rude. The other guests are the same; they're rude don't care about queuing or waiting. The rooms are fantastic, cannot fault the daily cleaning and general overall cleanliness of the hotel, it's spotless. The pool and facilities are fantastic, the jewelry shop is outstanding and so are the staff in the bag shop. The vitamin bar and rolled up ice cream stand is not free, it's €8 minimum, oh and not all entertainment is free either, they'd ask you to buy tickets or bingo cards or tombola tickets, so when you expect to come to an all inclusive and not pay for things bring spending money you'll need it. You also are not left to relax on the sun loungers, constantly nagged by spa staff for massage and very rude when you say no and quite forceful, some members of staff are so incredible, Tito on the Animation team is a credit to the whole hotel and team he was excellent with our 1 year old constantly. Oh and it's very typical all inclusive, very very watered down drinks, the beer is 1% at best and the drinks are all the same. Overall this hotel and experience has made us not want to come back to Calido Maris or Turkey in general. For what we paid it's not 5 star it's probably 4 at a push and if it was cheaper we'd recommend it, but due to the issues with staff, other guests and cost we certainly won't be coming back.
