When we arrived at this hotel? The guy on reception, booked us in wearing a grubby vest. Was unsmiling and ignorant. After we booked in we inquired about food but was told that there was nothing until 7.30pm this was at 6.00pm we had not eaten for about 6hours i.e. travelling e.t.c. (all inclusive)

When we arrived at our room it was basic as expected. But the bathroom/toilets shower was filthy. When we went down for dinner it was first come first served. With everybody rushing to get their dollop of food. Meat was nothing I’ve ever come across. The salad displays were not chilled/refrigerated. Just covered in cling film. Once opened left to the elements. All the food was brought in from the sister hotel. The all-inclusive drinks (beer,wine,vodka,and gin) were being watered down, in front of us. Hotel as whole was badly run and dirty with used dishes not being collected, and when they did they had a habit of empting the ash tray into the cups.

The rooms were never cleaned while we were there you could not use the toilets by the pool they were covered in excrement. The staff were dressed with flip/flops shorts vests as was the manager.

Overall the food was disgusting. Although we did not have children with us there was no ice creams for kids anyway. What was not eaten lunchtime was brought out again dinnertime. Needless to say on. The third day we were both ill. With diarrhoea/cramps. We had to get out of this hellhole. We asked the holiday rep to move us but he quoted £1000 each to change hotels but we were not willing to pay this as we already paid £1200 for the holiday. So we booked a flight home a week early.

At the time of writing this review still waiting for a1 travel to conclude their investigation. We cannot believe that tour operators are still sending people/family’s to this hotel as the bad reviews go back to 2003.

We looked forward to our holidays every year. But what a disaster this place was, do holiday company’s view these sites??? Please do not book this hotel.

hotel ok, staff not to bad if you like football not very good English, excellent at Russian, food terrible, i had food poisoning for 6 days my partner for 3 days, ate out after that spent a lot of money eating and drinking out as the drinks are watered down, pool area dirty, We would never return to that hotel again loved the resort been before and would go back again but not in that hotel

This hotel is the worst we have ever stayed at!

The food was horrible so we ended up paying extra to go out and eat in the nearby restaurants.

The pool area was dirty and the whole place was swarming with Russians.

The staff were ok, really into Premier League football, the drinks were watered down.

Icmeler itself is beautiful, we made the most of it despite the rubbish hotel but did end up spending a lot of money on eating and drinking elsewhere.

I would definitely recommend Icmeler though, we loved it so much that we are spending our honeymoon there next month in a different hotel!

Stayed at this hotel for two weeks. Was amazed to find so many Russian's staying there. They simply took over the hotel, believe me I thought the German's were bad but they are not half as bad as the Russians were. They did not control there kids, were like a plague of locusts at meal times (did not know people could eat that much)and were rude and ignorant. We were all inclusive, but the meals were terrible. Some quests did not eat at all in the hotel and went to the local restaurant/cafe's instead. We perservered because of the cost involved but did treat ourselves to breakfast at a local cafe every morning. (At least no worries about putting weight on!) We had to adopted the same tactics as the Russians at meal times as we would not have got anything to eat. First time I had to grab a sweet even before I had looked what was on the main course table! Only ever one choice of meat at each meal times, could not always decide what meat it was though!

Most staff were not really interested in anything and seemed not to speak very good english, although seemed fluent in Russian. Pool area etc was ok, nothing special. Drinks seemed to be watered down as we drank all night and never felt tipsy once. Very little choice, only had about 6 different spirits to choose from and red/white wine. We could only get all inclusive drinks from one certain bar, which meant a walk to it, as a good area for drinking was not for AI, so this meant a walk every time we wanted a drink, or more accurately 'half glass'.

This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in there was ants crawling in the food it was discusting yes the russians are very rude also the germans we complained and manager done a BBQ one night for use but in the afternoon we saw the chef cooking the food round the back of the hotel right near a rubbish tip we caught this on camera and complained on our return home we did get a refund our tour operator was Goldtrail. Entertaintment was none extistant the staff were very rude we asked for btter once and were told no sorry you cant there wont be enough for breakfast. The location of the hotel was perfect for the beach shops etc,we also found the hotel to be dirty my young daughter had to sleep in a little camp bed for 2 nights and it was all damp until we kept on at them for it to be changed. I thought id put this review on here when i returned but must have slipped my mind
