I have received a Fax from one of my many friends in Icmeler informing me that the Munamar has been purchased by an Arab Prince,and all the staff have had there contracts terminated,and the deal will go through in January 2010.Apparently there is no certainty that it will remain a hotel as it could be kept for friends and relatives of the purchaser.I was hoping to go there in May next year but none of the Travel Agents on the net seem prepared to offer a price.Could there be someone out there who is in the know who could throw more light on this.
