We have just returned from Club Aquarium after our first visit to Turkey. The Club Aquarium Apartments are suituated at one side of the village and are a short walk (which is down hill) to the bars and restaraunts that are on the main strip. A taxi back up the hill is cheap for those less energetic, less able or less sober!
The apartments were great, we were in the bottom of the first block, room 2 and at first we thought we had been given the worst room in the apartments as there was no view at all from our terrace other than the path that other guests used to access the other blocks - that said when it was time to put our baby down for her nap, this room was perfect, there was no noise from the pool (it was never excessive anyway).
The pool was great, there are 2 pools on different levels and twice daily a slide is activated linking hte two......you should have seen their little faces when it came on, they were sliding down on their knees, tummy, backwards and in tandem.......I am talking about the parents, the children were pretty entertained too.
The bar is shelered under the top level pool and there are windows into the pool so you can take some great pictures of your loved ones underwater - there are plenty of tables to sit at but the sunbeds can be tight on busy days. As will all hotels, there is the problem of towels being laid out very early but Airtours support a policy where if towels are left unattended, they can be removed.
The Turkish staff were excellent, and the evening meals were good value for money the ones we had were great. There is the option to use the facilities at the sister hotel, Grand Aquarium but this is a louder more brash complex which we only visited once.
Upon arrival you are allocated a wrist band whcih you 'charge' with credit and use instead of cash - we found it convenient and had no disputes with over payment at all.

Lovely hotel, lovely location a little hilly when you have had a few or in the heat of the day but taxis are cheep and a lot of the bars/resteraunts will pick up and drop you off.
The rooms were small but spotlessly cleaned and the towells were laid out in a different design every day.
Breakfast was poor and you had to wait around to get it and didn't always get what you ordered this was awkward as we were leaving early most days for trips, the morning staff were a bit lax and didnt speak english very well, Yasim (bar staff) was great in afternoons and evenings he did speak english and was helpful and entertaining he also arranged the few entertainment nights that were on offer.
Staff provided a taxi service to and from the sister hotel Grand Aquarium which had nightly entertainment, the hotel was small but had lovely views and a breeze from the mountins behind because of its small size residents were friendly and regularly met up in the pool bar at the end of the evening a very relaxing and enjoyable stay the only downside was getting breakfast we would definitely go back.

This is my second visit to the Club Aquarium having stayed there 5 years ago. I must say the standard has not dropped one bit.
The gardens, pool and bar area are spotless and the staff do everything to ensure you have a fantastic relaxing holiday. 10/10

This is the first time my parents have been abroad and we decided to bring them with us they really enjoyed it.
My three children really liked the pools. my husband and I made a really good friend with one of the staff Marko he didnt want us to go home.
The resort was gorgeous we really loved it and we are hoping to go back next year we would highly recomend it to anybody.

The appartments were very clean and the maids left fresh flowers on the bed most days, linen was changed every day and nothing was too much trouble.
Although it was about a 10-15 min walk to the centre of Icmeler, it was a pleasant stroll and a taxi only cost about 5 ytl, the train came past every half hour and only cost 1.5 ytl.
There wasn't much entertainment on but if you needed it there was the sister hotel with plenty happening.
You put money on a wristband and when you got a drink or food just show the wristband and the money was deducted from it, this was a good idea as you need not carry money around all day.
After staying in different hotel in 2005 we realised what an exellent place the club aquarium is compared to a lot of hotels.

My husband and I had never travelled to Turkey before, but I can say with total confidence that after our 2 week holiday in May it is now top of our list!
Club Aquarium itself is in a great position, overlooking the rest of Icmeler from the top of a small hill. All the apartments face towards the sea, with magnificent hills on the right, the town in the middle, and the road leading to Marmaris on the left. Although it is not 'right on the beach' transport is not a problem, with taxis easily ordered from reception - average fare to centre of Icmeler about
