TL;DR
The stretch between Marmaris center and Icmeler offers clean water, a quiet promenade, and greenery. Grand Yazici is a well-located option, though the property shows its age. A few neighboring hotels offer similar perks at slightly higher prices.
The promenade between Marmaris and Icmeler is one of the quietest and greenest stretches on the coast. A couple of neighboring hotels share the same prime location as Grand Yazici but are priced slightly higher.
The sea along the entire Marmaris–Icmeler coastline is considered among the cleanest in the region — the main draw for hotels in this area.
Grand Yazici has a long history and was once a top-tier property. Today it shows wear, and ongoing renovations tend to simplify rather than upgrade the hotel. However, the grounds are attractive and the sea is right there — for many guests this outweighs the dated interiors.
Food at Grand Yazici is straightforward but varied — salads, appetizers, meat, fish, and desserts are all available. By Marmaris standards it's decent, though it doesn't match the all-inclusive spreads on the Antalya coast. No food safety issues reported over multiple stays.
At Grand Yazici, request a sea view room — some rooms face service areas. Bungalows on the grounds are a recommended option. Confirm the view when booking.
