We went on a week long holiday and chose the Marphe Hotel mainly on the photos of the pool and gardens, and it certainly didn't disappoint! The outdoor areas are a real delight and it is a lovely pool to sit and relax by and so tranquil as it is a small complex. The outdoor restaurant area is also lovely, and we enjoyed the food very much as it was very fresh and tasty. The location seems isolated but is only fifteen minutes walk from the centre of Datca and the local minibuses do a good job of getting people around. We used those a few times and the locals were all very helpful to us. The only drawback would be that the accommodation does seem basic and is missing some things which would make a big difference. We found the towels only got changed every second day, and the apartment was only cleaned every second day too, and also some items needed repair in our apt. too. It does need some maintenance and upgrading. It is fine though as mainly we spent most of our time either out exploring, on excursions, or else by the pool. So I would not hesistate to recommend the Marphe as a very nice and enjoyable place to get away from it all.
