Kapmar Hotel

So back home from a gorgeous week in Icmeler, Stayed at the Kapmar and have to be totally honest and say the stay there wasn’t the most pleasant of stays. Checked in 2am a week ago and the night guy took our cases to the lift and we went to the 1st floor where he met us and showed us to the room and turned the key to on for the air con. On leaving the room he stood outside and just stared, I asked him what and he put his arms out by his side waiting for his tip. Why should he ask for a tip when it didn’t warrant one? At breakfast the night porter and said person above were in the dining area rather than at the reception in case they were needed. My observation and also that of some other guests was that it was noticeable how many women he put his arm round guiding them to the coffee machine, he did this to my wife which she found quite offending especially when it was used in tandom with the word darling, the number of guest who named him touchy feely was quite significant. So back to the guy wanting a tip for showing us how to use the air con, he was on breakfast table patrol, standing over you taking plates before you’d swallowed your last mouthful, reaching over you while you were eating to take an empty plate instead of waiting for you to finish and leave the table! Being made to feel rushed is bad enough when most guests avoided the food on offer showed that they weren’t needing your table that quick! So on to the pool, walking past reception there is a sign clearly stating no towels to be put on sun beds before 7:00am. I thought that was a great idea as I don’t want to be involved in bed wars when I’m supposed to be relaxing. Pity that rule was not enforced as every morning virtually all beds were taken before 7am. What did stand out were the amount of towels on the same beds every day!. How could this possibly be happening? I’ll tell you how, the night bar staff were taking payment to put the towels out, but the annoying thing is many of the beds were left empty most of the day when people were unable to use the pool area. I can only take a guess that these are the guests who return year on year out saying the staff are lovely so helpful, we’ll they would be if you’re crossing the palm with Lira! This hotel has so much potential if they could actually be bothered and while I agree Murat is a genuine guy( this was proved in the way he handled a poolside incident) it’s the staff around him (cleaners not included,they did a great job) that are letting him down. I’m not going to moan on about being dated no fridge etc you get what you pay for but with a bit of tweaking you may just get those night cap drinkers back rather than them going straight up to their room. I’m sure there will be some angry reaction to this review but it is an honest one and people who look for reviews should be able to see both hood and bad. Thanks.

After my original holiday was cancelled I rushed into booking another holiday and ended up booking the Kapmar, On first impressions it didn’t seem to bad, but having had two weeks there, the rooms were not cleaned properly I left something on the floor near the front door and it took the cleaner 4 days to sweep it up. The rest of the hotel didn’t even get swept as it was so dusty and dirty especially the carpet on the stairs stained smelly. The only thing I would say was acceptable was there were clean towels every day. The pool area didn’t get cleaned after ever night which would have taken about an hour which again would have made a massive difference for any guest. The whole place needs a full facelift or a few tins of paint at least. There was no fridge in any rooms I know that’s not a big thing for some but when you have to take medication that needs to be in a fridge it helps to have one. The hotel is central to icmeler which is a bonus. The hotel owner also doesn’t like cats as most know there is a few cats in the area and he had an issue with a black cat and he then proceeds to kick this little black cat 🐈‍⬛.
