Faros Premium Beach

This was my first visit to Icmeler as we usually go to Marmaris. Went with a friend for a last minute relaxing trip and the Faros Beach did not dissapoint. Staff were so attentive and friendly without being pushy, this was from check in to the final day. Room was a little dated from what we are used too, however that was not an issue as I would much prefer good customer service and that is exactly what we got. We were lucky enough to already book a sea view so were extremly happy when we were located on floor 5 with a great size balcony and an amazing view as we love to sit outside. We booked the spa offer and it was amazing and so relaxing. The food was good so much choice everyday. Bar service was super and staff were brilliant, funny and always on the ball to keep your glass full. Location was great, easy and pleasant walk to shops and bars. I loved it so much I have booked to go back with my husband at the end of May 25 Look forward to returning next year. Icmeler you have won a place in my heart ❤️❤️

Have just returned from 7 nights at Faros Premium. Overall a very satisfying trip. The hotel is situated on its own private beach, at the far end of Icmeler. Our room was 133, a sea view standard. Room was spacious and air conditioning included in price. Bathroom decent size, only gripe is shower wasn’t particularly powerful. The air conditioning was excellent, the bed a king/queen size. Was massive. The balcony not the biggest, okay for 2 people but no more. I’ve seen people complain bout the air conditioning unit blowing hot air while out on balcony. Just switch it off while on balcony ! No brainer really. Towels changed every day apart from one, but not much else done in the room and the bed sheets wasn’t changed. The safe in the room is also complimentary. Our room was overlooking the stage for nightly entertainment, it’s a bit loud til bout midnight and then quite noisey from local bars. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise, a wide choice of food but was the same most days. Always easy enough getting a table, and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Taner is a funny guy. Food could be a bit lukewarm but more than eatable. The booze from the bar was of good standard. Plenty of choice of cocktails and spirits. Effes on draught. Ice cream and soft drinks/water all inclusive too. Towels are supplied every day from the spa in hotel, no need to take beach towels or room towels (obviously). The pool area is very clean and chilled, the adult pool is one depth and deep. All the staff friendly enough. The hotel is a few minutes walk from all the bars, and near harbour for boat trips and water taxi to Marmaris/Turunc. Almost forgot, there was entertainment every night, all good acts too. An enjoyable week, more plus points than minus. I’d definitely return to this hotel, which is a recommendation in itself.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. The food and service was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to help and support us. So friendly and helpful, made us feel like one of the family. Only downfall was the cleaners. Not very good, didn’t do hardly anything even hard to purchase own toilet roll on one occasion. But apart from that would return there again tomorrow it was so nice and enjoyed it so much. Thank you.

An excellent hotel, with direct access to its own private beach. Overall rooms are modern and spacious, some updating required. Yes, customers have commented on patch up jobs on wall paper and carpets needing replaced - as long as the rooms are clean, I don’t personally focus on little details such as these. Shower strong and powerful. Room was cleaned most days, to a reasonable standard. Towels replaced every day! The only gripe we had was that the coffee/tea in our room wasn’t replaced daily and we had to go downstairs to ask a couple of times. Food better than other hotels in Icmeler. Salads good quality, meat good quality, bottles of water provided- a real bonus. Coffee that actually tastes like coffee! Drinks - local beer and spirits but the best we have had in the last 4 years of travelling to Turkey on all inclusive packages, twice in Antalya region, last year Olu Deniz. Have travelled to Turkey yearly self catering since 1996. Staff are brilliant at this hotel. Super friendly and can’t do enough for you. The lady in the main restaurant is an asset to the hotel. Drinks delivered to our table and always asked if we want something else. Waster poured during lunch, dinner. Staff at the main bar fantastic too. Almost all would never clear your table without asking if we wanted another drink. Patisseries lovely. Beach lovely but sun bed cushions needing a good clean or replaced. We didn’t have the best view from our room - 104 - looking up we had a nice view of the mountains, but looking down, we were faced with the extractor fans from the restaurant. Balconies quite small. Would book again as we had such a peaceful relaxing week. Adults only. No misbehaved guests. Everyone friendly. The entertainment was actually decent.

Had a fantastic holiday at this wonderful hotel, after reading several reviews I was pleasantly surprised at the overall condition, the rooms are perfectly adequate for the price range, my thoughts would be some new carpeting on the landings and lounge area, some sunbed mattresses for the beach area to match the pool area, job done, oh and some proper tonic water to go with the gin. The staff were really helpful, particularly Nihat the beach attendant, I noticed him helping the not so able on the beach on several occasions and chucking off the interlopers on the sunbeds. Henis who waited on us and not forgetting the very helpful and charming Antonio and of course the living legend that is Yusuf. We don’t usually go much on entertainment but I could not believe the high standard of some of the acts, so much so that when the second week came around we were eagerly waiting to see them again, all held together by the lovely Alice. The food is very tasty and fresh, the best I have had in Turkey in fact. My favourite thing though is the beach area, if you go on Google maps you can clearly see you have more space around your sunbed than ANY comparable hotel in the area and no problem getting a sunbed in the morning, then late afternoon off to the pool area and having a lazy drink on the terrace overlooking the pool, perfect, so much so I will definitely return next year.

Well what can I say about this place! My daughter and I have just returned from a short 'girlie' break at Faros Beach. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is clean and bright and welcoming. We were bewildered having read several reviews before our trip which described the hotel as tired and in need of an upgrade. We didn't find this at all! Our room was spacious and clean and the view from our balcony was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel sits right on the seafront, literally just a few steps from the beach bar to the beach which has ample sunbeds and parasols. Facilities at the hotel are wonderful. There's everything you could need really. Lounges, bars, a gym, a hairdressers, little shop, tattoo parlour and even an on site doctors surgery! Downstairs there is an absolutely amazing spa. The legendary Antonio that we had read so much about came and found us on our second day and worked his charm to get us to book the Sultan package of the Turkish bath. Wow...what can I say. 2 and a half hours of absolute luxuriant bliss. Do it! You won't regret it! The all inclusive food is plentiful and varied, new dishes every day and also some standard pizza and chips type stuff for those fussy Brits! But we loved all the different dishes on offer. Drinks were lovely too and in the evening in the beach bar the staff are coming round as soon as your glass is empty to give you a refill. Fantastic service. Entertainment in the evenings was very good especially the Kenyan acro team and the Broadway night. Pool area is good too although a little chilly but still good to cool off in. Only negative here is that there were lots and lots of little midgy flies in this area. But plenty of loungers and a bar right there too complete with dartboard! Icmeler is a lovely little town with everything you would want for a chilled holiday. Abundance of eateries and drinkeries and little shops, and a stroll along the promenade is absolutely lovely. We loved everything about the holiday at Faros beach but the one stand out thing was the staff. I have never been somewhere where all the staff were so cheerful, friendly and attentive. They all look like they are having fun and will take the time to have a laugh and a chat to you. Special mention to Yusuf in the dining hall who always made us smile and of course Antonio who works all the hours god sends and who I swear could charm the birds out of the trees!! We will be back Faros beach! Keep doing what you are doing. We miss it already
