Icmeler Hotels with Bars

Avoid - booked via @onthebeach who has this as a 4* - it’s scraping a 2* and I’m applauded and disappointed it’s on their website. Cons - the “shake bar opposite” music from 9pm - 2am every night, it’s impossible to sleep, impossible! No matter what side of the hotel your on, the music blares through your room from their speakers and sub woofers. The hotel is in need of serious TLC - lifts, paint, pools, bars drinks and food. There is no entertainment at the hotel. The hotel has approximately 15-20 sunbeds max. 3 pools are listed, the main pool is allocated 5-8meters long and 160cm deep, approx 4m wide. Fills up with 6 people swimming. Kids pool is a paddling pool. This is not a family hotel, avoid bringing your kids The hotel is not on the beach, don’t be fooled by The pictures. The hotel does have an allocated area for its customers on the beach, however… it only has 10-13 sunbeds which are filled by 6am with towels - after that you have to pay to use another section Food - pudding is the same - selection of cakes, dinners are ever so slightly mixed up, but no labels to describe foods, thankfully chefs spoke English Breakfast the same, slightly mixed up as is lunch Snack bar - burgers pasta 12-4 each day - ice cream 5-5:30 Drinks - poor selection for all inclusive Beach towels, £10 deposit for your stay Hotel felt more aimed at Russian guests than European or English The area is very mountainous, and for that reason, the pool only had sun as did the hotel from 6am-1pm - after that you had to go to beach and if you read above, no sun loungers Pro - the chefs spoke English Bathroom - although in need of TLC - shower was large - overhead shower and hand held Part of me feels sorry for some of the staff who did try, either the hotel needs to move away from Shake Bar, have investment and start over or Shake bar needs to close to help the hotel and it’s custom. The majority of guests here, all regretted their stay at this hotel, some staying they are going back to their travel agents - we looked into moving hotels but needed another £400 for 6nights, 4 nights in, I’m regretting not moving - yes, writing this review whilst here. There’s plenty of shops around the hotel, local bus at approx £1.50 will take you to maramis. Plenty of excursions, aim for £10-15 per excursion, asking prices £25-30 - boat tours, massages, jeep safari’s, mud baths all available. No matter how cheap this hotel might look as a deal, believe me, your sleep is worth more, save an extra months wages and go somewhere better 2/5 or or if I was being generous 3/10

Beautiful hotel with stunning views . Staff are great always willing to help even if some of the questions were daft they still smiled. Food was good quality and lots of choice. Restaurant and all the rest of the hotel was spotless all of the time room was very comfy check out was a 12 but can pay for longer for £50 that was the only negative. Would recomend to any one to stay ere as it was amazing place right next to the beach.will be return next year.

My experience at Orka Lotus was fantastic. I had a wonderful time here and really enjoyed the quality time spent. Even though we visited at the end of the season, it didn’t affect how much we enjoyed our stay. The animation team—Shaggy, Sophian, and David—was incredible, keeping us entertained throughout. While many excursions were closed due to the season, we still found some great activities to enjoy. Overall, it was a memorable experience!

We booked this last minute and a break for half term. Hotel rooms are well equipped and kept clean and tidy each day. We had a modernised 2 bedroom apartment for the 4 of us and managed to rustle up some basic meals in the kitchen. Staff were all very friendly and the manager excellent. Entertainment was ok, a couple of shows and bingo/ mini disco each night. Not really our thing. Felt there were a lot of extra charges, air con, safe, WiFi, late check out and I found the need to add money to a payment card bizarre, I'd just prefer to pay as I go. The heated pool was very much welcomed but looks a bit tatty and definitely needs a good clean and some maintenance (black round the tiles, wobbly handrails, chipped tiles etc). The behaviour of some of the other guests is what would actually put me off returning, constant foul language from both kids and adults, shouting and I'd say 80% of the guests smoke or vape so you're constantly wafting that away from your face. Would be great if they could introduce some non smoking sunbed and restaurant areas. I can see why people return and for a cheap week in the sun it was fine but personally I'd stay somewhere closer to the coast and more restaurants etc and where people don't feel the need to be effing and jeffing at each other until the small wee hours. Take earplugs!
