Julian forest is a lovely hotel it is a shame it is a bit far out though.
The hotel is absolutely spotlessly clean.
The food is nice much better than last year when we went.
The entertainment is also better than last year.
The waiters are friendly kind helpful and pleasant all the time specially Kasim, Adnan (who were there last year) and Sapil, Gokhan, Kavanch and Haluk.

Had a great time. The staff are friendly & helpfull
The hotel is a bit remote but the local dolmus are frequent and cheap. If you are a family of 5 then you can get a taxi to Icmeler for the same price as the dolmus.
The entertainment staff work hard and if they can keep my 15 yaer old son ammused for two weeks then they deserve a medal.
As for the shop it is ok but a bit expensive.
The waiters are superb and are worth a mention and our thanks.
Book trips in Icmeler as it is much cheaper
We will go back.
PS. the happy hour is great 2 joogs for the price of 1

This was my first time abroad and we stayed in Julian forest apartments,the apartments were beautful and they were always spotless clean and the cleaners would leave flowers on the table and on the beds and they were very nice people.
The hotels food was nice but it was sickening when the wasps would dive into your food and try to attack you while eating but if you got to finish your food it was nice.
The location didnt bother as much as it bothered other people, if you wanted to go anywhere there would always be a dolmus that would get you there in 5 minutes.
The staff in the hotel were wonderful and were always at your service they were very friendly and you couldnt of got better.
There was a down fall and it was the entertainment I didn't like it at all but it didnt bother me as there was other stuff to do.
I would definately come back and would recommend it to every one.

We stayed in the Julian Forest in july till august 2005 It was our best holiday expessialy as were only 14 14 and 16.
The hotel was very clean,and the rooms were always clean.
The food was ok but the wasps were always around you so you couldent eat it propley, but if you dont bother with them they go away.
The Hotel is set back in the mountins so you couldent walk into the center of Icmeler but there was a dolmus that stopped outside the hotel which takes you into the center for 1 lira 50 or sometimes 1 lira or there was a train or taxies.
The staff are very very nice expessialy memhet from the little shop, the jewler and receptionists are very nice and even the security guard was nice.
We only stayed for the entertainment once and went into icmeler the rest of the nights because theentertainment werent really good for ourage or the adults.
We would defintly go back to the julian forest but next year we are staying in marmaris but us three will be coming into icmeler a few days and going to visit the Julian forest.

1st time at Julian Forest and have already booked for next year along with two other families we met there.
The hotel is far back at the base of the mountains well away from all the hustle and bustle however, the town is easy to reach by dolmus or taxi. This is the most relaxing holiday I have ever had, the kids loved it especially the mega splash competition every afternoon (the men really enjoyed this too, and became quite serious discussing tactics).
Can the night manager and Hammett the day manager were terrific and could not do enough for you, and the bar staff especially our Kivanc and Haluk were superstars. Les and Nick the entertainers were great with the kids and kept them busy doing different competitions, and yes the night-time entertainment was a little repetitive but the children loved it.
Yes the transfers are horrendous so a taxi is recommended and yes there are many wasps, however neither of these ruined our holiday in the slightest. One word of advice is that it is better to eat when it has gone dark, as by then all the wasps have gone to bed!

Julian Forest Icmeler. The location is quite far from the main resort but we like it that way. We knew this before we booked as we looked at it in 2004 when we stayed nearby.
The complex was wonderful for us as a family with 2 young children. The waterslides made a big difference to the children

Julian Forest are beautiful apartments and spotlessly clean.The wasps were a big problem but I read the reviews before travelling so went prepared,my daughter was stung but it didn't spoil her holiday.
My daughter loved this holiday but,we felt not much for adults.Repetitive music which didn't change for two weeks.Glad we were situated to the back of the complex cause people at the front were complaining they couldn't sleep.Also children playing football at the bar area a big problem, suprised no one has had a glass broken in their face.
Most of the waiters were very nice especially Erman and Kasim.Location of the apartments suited us because of the breeze and dolbus always available.Tried the 20 minute walk to Icmeler(so the rep said)took nearly 1 hour.
Tranfers were long, nothing like the two hours the brochure said-from leaving apartments to Glasgow all in all 10 hours and thats without flight delays.
Been to Turkey before, love the place but don't see us returning to Julian Forest.

What a fab hotel..so clean great entertainment from Nick and Les we couldn't of gone to a better place..
It was our sons first holiday abroad and he loved it. We were well looked after by all staff there. What a great bunch of lads behind the bar, made our holiday one we will never forget.
Big splash comp was wicked..Dads best part of holiday..
Food was lovely and I'm very fussy about eating abroad but was well worth eating it .yum yum.
Booked to go back next June 06 with friends we made there..can't wait well worth booking....
Wasps are a pest but bar staff was great at getting them away with their menus..

Hotel was very clean and very high standard.
Location was a bit far out of the town for us but can get bus for 40p each but buses stop at 10pm and maybe later as season gets on,
