Recently returned from a 2 week stay here having booked via Jet2 at fairly short notice. Located in the old town far from the hustle and bustle of Icmeler, this boutique hotel is about a 20 minute amble away from the beach. Following some reviews, we elected to pay extra for an upgrade to a “superior room” but have to say the room we were given, while generally adequate, was looking extremely tired and worn with laminate floor panels sticking up, window beadings missing and a fridge that made sleeping difficult on most nights. That said, the room was kept in order by the cleaner who never seemed to stop working, a lovely lady, never got her name unfortunately. Breakfast from 8 to 10.30 was adequate with a variety options including cereal, meats, cheese, bread and freshly made omelettes to order. Tea and coffee are available from a machine with fruit juice also available. Pool area was nice with towels supplied by the hotel. Although some people chose to reserve sun beds early, it wasn’t really necessary in all honesty. So far, so good you would have thought until the night of the BBQ. Advertised at £20 per person including a free drink which is absolutely fine if you’re a meat eater but unfortunately isn’t something we are into in a big way and the same can be said of some of the other guests that were there too who, like us, elected to spend their money elsewhere in other restaurants and buy drinks from wherever we chose to do so. From here on in, the barman chose to blatantly blank us and our friends and, despite our best efforts to talk to him he actually insulted one of us in Turkish, something he then tried to pass off as some form of greeting (which it most certainly wasn’t) and confirmed by others at the hotel. This made for an uncomfortable final week to say the least. We couldn’t fault the rest of the staff though with them being pleasant, helpful and thoroughly professional at all times particularly the lads at breakfast time. Dede the Jet 2 rep was equally lovely. With wonderful weather, we covered what we needed to do during our time here including several visits to Marmaris, seeing the castle and dancing fountains and a trip to Turunc using the water taxi. Although we won’t be returning for obvious reasons we would say that the 3 star rating is possibly a tad on the low side but could potentially become 4 star with not too much effort.
