Not a 5 star hotel / Not for UK holidaymakers
The hotel is in a lovely location and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately the hotel itself was a real let-down and not worthy of 5 stars. There were quite a few things that made our stay less enjoyable.
The restaurant was particularly disappointing. It felt very much like a free-for-all, especially at busy times, and it became extremely crowded. The staff also seemed to rush you while eating, often clearing plates before you had actually finished. The outdoor dining area had no air conditioning either, which made eating extremely hot and uncomfortable.
The food was another major disappointment. There wasn’t much variety, particularly if you’re looking for more typical English food. If you’re expecting a traditional full English breakfast, you will not get one here. The breakfast choices were very much catered towards the hotel’s main clientele, with things such as broccoli, cauliflower and sweetcorn being available at breakfast, but very limited options for anyone wanting a more traditional English breakfast. We also found the overall food selection quite repetitive and lacking in variety throughout the stay.
Around the pool, we also found that staff collecting rubbish would sometimes take drinks away and throw them out even when they were still half full, which was frustrating. At the snack hut, we were also asked for a tip while being served, which felt quite awkward.
The bar service was another issue. The staff often seemed unsure of what drinks they were making, and the lack of English spoken by many members of staff made communication quite difficult at times. In general, we also found that the hotel seemed to cater much more towards Russian-speaking guests than English-speaking guests. The majority of the guests appeared to be Russian, and there wasn’t much consideration for English-speaking holidaymakers, which made us feel that this probably isn’t the best choice of hotel if you’re looking for somewhere that caters more towards British/English guests.
One of the biggest disappointments was the difference between the older and newer rooms. We initially had a room with a dark/green bathroom, which we later discovered was one of the older rooms. We only realised this because we were travelling with other people who had been given the newer rooms. We ended up having to change rooms, which was inconvenient, and it would have been helpful to know beforehand that there was such a significant difference between the rooms.
Overall, the hotel has beautiful surroundings and a lovely setting, but unfortunately the service, organisation, food and overall experience didn’t live up to what we expected. There are some good aspects, but for us, the hotel itself was the biggest disappointment of the holiday.
Good animation team🥰
Ecerything is good, but spa no for recomended, unprofeddional and dirty. Nature is beautiful. Animation team is the best.
Amazing experience
We had a great stay at this hotel with our family. The Mini Club was fantastic and the kids really enjoyed the activities and the friendly entertainment team. The food was good, the hotel was clean, and there was plenty to do during the day and in the evening. We really enjoyed our holiday and would happily come back again!
Quite impressive
Some places you visit once, have a wonderful time, and then leave. Other places, however, call you back year after year. Gypsophila Club Marin is exactly that for us. This year, we left this beautiful hotel, our 6th time guests, happy, peaceful, and having made wonderful friendships. The biggest reason for this is the staff who have transformed this hotel from just a facility into a true family environment.
First of all, General Manager Mr. Metin Atar... It was almost impossible to catch him in his office. Because we would either see him inspecting every corner of the hotel or feeding the cats in this lush green nature. He is a truly valuable manager who manages from the field, not from his desk, and makes his guests feel the warmth of a host.
Front Office Manager Mr. Umutcan is a truly solution-oriented person. He took even our smallest request as his own, dealing with it with great dedication. Moreover, our request wasn't a big problem; it was to extend our stay by one more day at the hotel, which was fully booked during the peak season. Despite this, his sincerity and effort were truly commendable.
From the bar team: Recep (Mr. Showman), Ferdi, Kadir, Kadri, Dudu, Derya, and Gülsüm... What wonderful young people you are! Your smiles, respect, honesty, and tireless work ethic are truly exemplary. Our country needs more hardworking young people like you who love their work. Each of you is truly a diamond.
On the restaurant side, Chef Kenan and Chef Soner... We've never seen two chefs who love their work and take such ownership of their kitchen. Yes, there can be minor hiccups from time to time, but the important thing is the approach. They intervened immediately and quickly resolved every problem. They truly do their jobs with great passion.
And then there's our dear Fatma... Her smiling face, jokes, and tireless work ethic have won our hearts.
And of course, our gözleme (Turkish flatbread) ladies... As two families, we often didn't even go to the restaurant for lunch, despite the dozens of varieties available at the buffet. Because the taste of their warmly prepared cheese, spinach, and especially that legendary leek gözleme (Turkish flatbread) is still on our palates. They fully deserve the reward for their hard work; in fact, I think they deserve much more... May God not let their efforts go to waste.
Now, let's talk about the animation team...
İrem is like a daughter of our family now...
Rustam is our family's adorable son with endless energy... We've talked amongst ourselves countless times about how one person can stay so energetic from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM. We can't find any words other than "Mashallah" (God bless him).
DJ Bruno... In a word, "King!" Every evening, his music took us to the peak of entertainment.
Rico is an incredibly positive person who follows each table individually, intervening the moment he senses a guest's energy dropping and getting everyone back on their feet.
Ksucha, with her choreography and never-ending tempo, made us wonder, "Doesn't this person ever get tired?"
And of course, the brains of the team, the architect of the organization, Magic... We also congratulate him for building such a harmonious, energetic, and professional team.
Finally, I especially want to say this...
What makes a hotel beautiful isn't its rooms, pool, or sea. Those can be found anywhere. But what makes a hotel a preferred choice again and again is the sincerity, friendliness, and value given to its guests by the people working there.
The reason we chose Gypsophila Club Marin for the sixth time is precisely this.
We wholeheartedly thank all our hardworking colleagues, especially Mr. Metin Atar, and all those whose names we have mentioned and those we haven't. Thank you for being there. Hopefully, we will meet again next year with the same warmth and among the same wonderful people...

Best animators Irem and Rustam - thank you for our vacation❤️
We had a great vacation with a large group of friends in July. We love this hotel and visited it three times and it's definitely not our last visit.
The hotel has an amazing grounds, friendly staff from waiters to the general manager, a beautiful sea and the best animation.
Special thanks to Irem, who is not just an animator but a true friend. We left with tears in our eyes and we will definitely return. When someone not only loves their job but lives for it, it's immediately noticeable. There are so many pleasant emotions, fun, and understanding that you don't often get from your friends, so we come to this hotel not only for the sea but also for the wonderful atmosphere from animators.
We also want to say hello to Rustam, as he is a person who is blessed by God and enjoys his work, living it and loving it deeply. Thank you, guys, for making our vacation unforgettable, including because of you. You are the best! We definitely want to see you next year!
