L etoile Hotel

This is our 3rd time in Icmeler. We have in the past loved the laid back vibe. Like most people have noticed it is a lot quieter than previous years. The bars prices are still more reasonable than in the UK. £19 for 2 beers and a cocktail. We chose not to eat out on this trip. Tattoos remain to be good value for money I've had two large pieces done for £370 at Jacob's Tattoo studio in Aqua Hotel ask for Mustafa it was Rhayna that did my tattoo she was lovely roughly £1000 in the UK We stayed at Letoile hotel

No sun bed wars you can go down to pool around 9:30 and still manage to get a bed. Staff oh my gosh they work so so hard. The entertainment team are there from early morning and still there late at night. There is belly dancing, darts, aqua aerobics and lots more for those that want to take part. Then entertainment at night varied from acrobatic night to karaoke. Bella and Cemi are two lovely young girls that took time to sit with us The maids keep the rooms spotless and are such a nice bunch of ladies. The lads in the pool bar remember your drink. Also this hotel doesn't hold back on measures and are very free with how much spirits they are giving you. Rooms A bit tired although functional and clean Shower struggled to get a hot shower it was luke warm at best Beds if you like a HARD bed you are in luck as the beds are solid!!! Ask the maid for an extra pillow as there is only one on the beds found it got quite chilly at night time we were grateful we had taken travel blankets with us. they have just a light cover on the beds the option of an extra blanket would have been good. Food Everything was cooked well Breakfast was repetitive Lunch and dinner menus need varying The salad bar and fruit bar was lovely The ice cream bar and lady serving was a nice afternoon break and the lady is lovely. The location of this hotel is very central with the shopping area literally on the door step. However I wouldn't bother paying for a sea view as you are looking over roof tops to the sea it's not that picturesque they do have their own part of the beach but with plenty sun beds we didn't use it. Unlike other hotels this hotel has a lot of Russian and European visitors other hotels in the area have more Brits We love Turkey and the people which makes us come back time and time again would I come to Icmeler again perhaps in the future

Dislikes Bed in room much too hard Food repetitive Music catered more for Russian/ European taste The constant going round the sun beds from the on site hair salon spa and gym trying to gather trade, by all means leave your brochures on the reception but felt hassled on my sun bed is there anything that would make me go back to this hotel, probably not. There are so many hotels to choose from that nothing made me think wow I want to come back again. This is not a reflection on the staff that work there everyone are hard workers but for my annual get away I am looking for special.

Loved the stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel although aging already was clean and tidy. Rooms were refurbished and spacious. The food was excellent - nothing to complain about. There was plenty to choose from and many warm dishes as well. The transfer from dalaman airport lasted about 2h. The hotel is located 1min from the hotel beach where if you come too late you may not lend a free deckchair. Special thanks to the animation team - Mikey and Bella. They were the best of all hotels I’ve been to. A big shout out to Bella for her incredible energy and kindness. She was always helpful and smiling and she was absolutely brilliant and connected to everyone so well.

The entertainment and food is wonderful, and the staff are so kind and will do anything for you!!!! Second time here and will come every year!!!!
