The L'etoile looks on arrival as discribed in brochure but if you like to be cool in your room be prepared for a shock. It is like having your heating on in winter in England it is so hot,so any women thinking about doing their hair at night forget it you know the old story 'leave your hairdryer at home you won' need to bother' no sooner dry your hair it's wet again this make's for all your images of having a glam holiday gone through the window?? All you woman will know what I mean.

Also any women wan't there hair colouring try hotel hairdresser they are Toni @ Guy of Icmeler My hair has never looked better and for 30.00 pound I normally pay treble that if air con was working this would be fanastic, ruined my hol as so hot. Take plenty of wet gel with you,be prepared!!!

Hotel staff ok except for reception blokes who think it some sort of joke if you complain about air con,they look at you as if to say low life English how dare they, but we pay as much as the Germans/Swiss if not more why should'nt we get same treatment .

We had to change rooms 3 times to get some air con so persevere it will happen. Although we shoul'dnt have to go there, the Germans don't have too.

I would never stay in this hotel again too much for too little.

Food ok cannt fault plenty of stew like mammy use to make dont waste you money`

The L'etoile hotel was very clean the staff were very very friendly and always had a laugh wid dem. But there was a problem there our step brother got his head stuck in the lift and had to be rushed to hospital.SO WATCH OUT!!!!!

Overall we thought the hotel was very nice the pool side also was very slippery and there was a few accidents. But we would like to go to the hotel again hopefully.

Arrived at the L Etoile in the dark and it looked much nicer than the brochure.We asked for a top floor apartment but were given a 1st floor room.

We couldnt complain though because we had a room with 3 balconies 2 bathrooms with shower and bath, plus a lounge and lovely views.

When we woke in the morning we noticed that the carpet was absolutly filty !!! Fantastic pool area and the dining rooms and lounges were decorated to a high standard. Hotel was in a very good position and only a few paces away from the hotel gardens.

The jetty for all boat trips are right by the hotel. I dont think you could get a better position in Icmeler than the L Etoile but 2 things let this hotel down !!

Food..awful. Entertainment... even worse. We found or selves eating out most days and finding entertainment else where. I would certainly return to this hotel due to the position of the hotel but, only if it was self catering. No disrespect but your fine if your German or Swiss, you get all the attention then.

I shall have to learn the language before we return next year.Icmeler itself cant be faulted, its fantastic.

We arrived early in the morning, went to the room it was lovely an clean an very big, the food was not all that nice the first week was ok then went horrible, ate out alot of times.

But the hotel was lovely there always cleaning up. The lift was faulty a friend we met there the doors closed on her an she hurt all her arm.

Staff very friendly an funny we had a laugh with them they work some hours felt soory for them.

The entertainment was crap there was a fella who sang awful, there was Turkish dancers on they were good.

The enterainment was all out of the hotel. The hotel room was very clean they cleaned every day an changed towels every bay.

All inclusive but we went out to eat the second week as the food made us ill. The beer is warm and the wine is cheap and taste like vinegar. There is a poor selection of drink and you'll probably not get your money's worth.

Staff were ok however male staff were too over friendly wanting to take you out most nights and don't understand the meaning of the word no. When we saw male staff outside the hotel they would tell other English lads not to talk to us.

Can't fault the location at all and love Icmeler but the best night life is in Marmaris.

Entertainment................ is that what you call it? We decided to go in September as kids are back at school but because there was all of about 3 kids in the hotel they catered for them all night singing the same annoying songs. Over and over again.


I would recommend that if you do go to Turkey trust me it's worth knowing a few words to understand what the men say to you............ You'll be shocked at the lack of respect for English women.

I won't be going to this hotel again probably be going self catering as the food in the restaurants is fantastic.

Hotel excellent! Room Excellent. Although there were only three adults we had four single beds in our room but it could have fitted eight, the room was that big. Three windows one overlooking the sea. Air conditioning worked well. The maid service was excellent as was all the staff at the hotel. Food excellent with plenty of choice. The hotel is being redecorated and to a high standard. Plenty of activities for children (my daughter is 16 1/2 and really enjoyed the pool table, table tennis etc).

The hotel is situated in a very good position.

The only problem we had was the sunbeds. We had to get up every morning at 6.45 for a bed, and I might add that we did stay on our sunbeds from that time on. Sometimes most of the beds had been taken by this time. (Many holiday makers were saving the sunbeds and were not using them until late afternoon, mainly the English)!! I do think the hotel should do something about this. If you cannot get a sunbed the beach is not far away but you do have to pay for your sunbeds and you have to pay for your drinks as well, as again, you cannot take your drinks from the hotel down to the beach which is only 1 minutes away from the hotel.(I might add that the pool area does smell of sewers occasionally!!!)

The only other point I would mention is the fact that the water is not included in your all inclusive holiday. You cannot take the water up to your room you have to buy it!

All the drinks finish at 12:00 pm if you want a drink after this time you have to pay, saying that the resort closes mainly at 12:00 pm also. Cocktails are not included in your all inclusive holiday either!

We had a lovely holiday and we would recommend this hotel as the hotel in itself is excellent. We have been on all inclusive holidays in the past but to the Dominican Republic and basically you do get all inclusive there, from speaking to people who have been all inclusive in Europe this hotel we stayed in was pretty much the normfor Europe.

The hotel was very clean, it was like being at home (someone always tidying up after you!)

Located right by beach, shops and other bars/hotels if you wanted a change of scenery. Couldn't get a better location really.

Staff polite & friendly, do their jobs well.

Food was good, i'd never been all inclusive before so was worried about the food. But a wide variety given & its best just to try a bit of everything (you can always just leave it). By the end of the 2 weeks i got a bit bored of same things though, but I am fussy!

Annoying lady for entertainment, so just went out every night, seems a shame not to have taken advantage of free drinks due to her but she was that bad!! :-(

Just returned from L'etoile. What a fantastic holiday.

The rooms were very clean and the towels and sheets changed nearly every day. The air conditioning never broke down, but was centrally controlled and could have been cooler. We had a room overlooking the pool but had a lovely view of the sea and shops and bars opposite.

We went all inclusive and the food was excellent. Always a good selection of both hot and cold, something for everyone, we were never hungry. Plenty of drinks available at all times.

The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful, always working hard but smiling.

Plenty of sunbeds round the pool and only minutes away the beach, with lots of beds on the waters edge.

The entertainment was ok but there were plenty of bars nearby and The Canal was good for an evening stroll, with small stalls on either side where you could practice your bartering skills. All music stops at midnight so you can always get a good nights sleep.

Must go to Icmeler market on Wednesdays, very entertaining and some good bargains but go early(8am) because it gets busy and very hot.

All in all an excellent holiday.

This is a hotel we will gladly go back to.

The Hotel was exceptionally clean with sheets and towels changed every day.

The Hotel Staff were typical Turkish people - Very Friendly and Very Helpful.

This was our fifth visit to Turkey, but it was only our first visit to this hotel.

The entertainment was very repetetive with groups and singers appearing several times during our 2 week holiday.

The food was very boring and the menu was often repeated over and over again.

If you like rice and meat stews then this is the hotel for you!!!

Do not leave it to long to dine because we often found the food was quite cold towards the end of the meal time sittings.

After the first week we decided to eat out and found the restaraunts outside the hotel to be of a much higher standard.

The air conditioning was little more than a fan built into the bedroom ceiling.

I was often forced to sit on the balcony in the evenings in order to cool off and get my breath.

I never slept with a blanket on during the night as the air conditioning was turned off by the hotel during the night, presumably to save money!!

Also watch out for the three huge dogs that are kept in a cage by the adjoining Aqua Hotel. Their barking can be very disturbing some nights.

The "All Inclusive" System was not well supervised so people from other hotels could often be found sampling the all inclusive food and drink - Free Of Charge!!

So to conclude - Icmeler is a fantastic place for a holiday, but you would be better off going there on a self catering holiday and using the many top quality restaraunts which are very reasonably priced.

We arvived at the hotel l'etoile early hours of the morning with a suprise of it looking nicer than in the brochure!

The hotel was clean enough not stopless but not skin crawling!
The food is eatable but not to our families taste but we manged to find something to eat!

The location is spot on with the hotels entertainment not up to scrach we went out everynight!

The problem was with the some of the male hotel staff which took a liking to my 15 year old sister they are a bit perverted! friendly enough.

There is a woman that works behind the bar who is very friendly and helpful! Lots of people complained about the air con but we think it was ok we took the key fob off the key and left it in all day which my have helped. the men behind reception were helpful to us!
