We wanted a late holiday with our friends and teenage daughter,we were hoping for a relaxed atmosphere, nice clean place with friendly staff and comfortable accomodation, all our requests were more than granted by the fabulous Moonlight apartments. The place was spotless at all times, even so late in the season(end of Sept.)
We only had snacks at the apartments and the odd breakfast, but next year I wouldnt mind eating more there as the smell and look of the food was enticing.

The apartments are towards the old village,a bit of a walk from the beach, but we found this to be and advantage by the end of the holiday, as we stopped off on our way,at Ozzys for breakfast(top class) and the Meyzen, restaurant, definately visit again. You could hire bicycles at the Moonlight if you wanted.

Finally , the staff, Savas,the main man! put himself out for us all, took the husbands, and anyone else who wanted, to the football pitch to play footie, led a treck up the mountain up to the flag, even though it was Ramadan and he couldnt have a drink, stayed up late to let us all in , knew all our names straight away, very pleasant, a great guy. Charlie,Dennis and everyone else, all made us feel extremely welcome.

The Moonlight has two swimming pools the main one has a big slide , which we all enjoyed!, table tennis. football games. snooker, hammock!! nice gardens.

When the rep dropped us off, she said 'everytime I collect people from here they're always crying' We all know why now............ we didnt want to leave.

Looking in the brochures to book for next year!!!

Apartments very clean and well equiped unless you wish to make toast.Can sleep 5 but I would'nt advise it as they are just about large enough for 4.

The bedroom air-conditioning is very effective, partially cools the living area if the bedroom door is left open and it is free of charge.

The balconies may be a bit on the small side for 4 people,but what a view. When you can eat breakfast while gazing out towards pine clad hills ,who cares!
These pleasant apaartments are complimented by the excellent staff.Upon our arrival, at 10.00pm, they insisted on carrying our cases for us to our apartment which entailed climbing a flight of stairs.

Nothing was too much trouble.Even though he was about to close the kitchen for the evening ,the chef happily provided my wife and I with mushroom omelettes and the kids with chicken and chips ,and the next morning after reporting to reception that we only had 2 balcony chairs,a maid appeared ten minutes later with another 3!

I'm not sure how often the maids were supposed to do their thing but they seemed to pay us a visit at least every other day and consequently we were never short of towels.

Speaking of towels,we never found the need to claim our place by the pool at the break of dawn as there
were always some vacant sunbeds throughout the day.

The pool wasn't the biggest but what it lacked in size it made up for in cleanliness ,and the big water slide which kept the kids ,and some adults,amused for hours.

The shallow end of the pool however,because of the slide, is unfortunately still well over 1m deep and therefore perhaps not really suitable for young non- swimmers.
The poolbar kitchen although quite small produced excellent food all day ,from a great English breakfast for 6 Lira (

We stayed in apartments called Moonlight it is the third year we have stayed there, this year was very disappointing.

We found the staff unfriendly and the atmosphere was not good plus the reps we had on the transfer from the airport was Turkish and never spoke a word on the coach, the rep at the apartments was also Turkish I thought Thomas cook guaranteed English reps.

The resort excellent the apartments not.

When we first arrived I could not believe it,there was a water chute and a giant pool.

The rooms were big enough for us and the staff could not have been more friendly than they were.


The rooms were spotless and the cleaners were really nice.the entertainment was great the staff were always made you laugh.

I would definately go back to the apartments.

The room was very small and cramped for a family of four no air conditioning in the living room where kids slept so was very hot. Only a shower and bathroom very tiny. Cleaners were brill cleaned every day and towels changed daily.

Pool area was clean and great slide which my daughter loved, not shown in the brochure.

Staff friendly, but busy so sometimes forgot you'd paid for something and tried charging you again.

Wouldn't go again as we felt room too small and no entertainment.

Also no facilities for those checking out on a night flight we asked for a room the day before as per rep told us was told by the owner fine, following morning when husband asked which room was told only one room and given to another family who spent more time at apartments than we did. Told we could use a shower room 7pm finally got to use it after being out of our room by 12 not being picked up till midnight. Shower room was disgusting cracked piece of mirror, over a basin smelt vile ended up doing my hair and make-up in the toilet by swimming pool.

Accomodation and surrounding grounds were excellent, everywhere was kept spotlessly clean. The staff from Manager to cleaners were exceptionally friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. It was only a short walk and we were in the middle of Icmelar

The Moonlight Apartments are set in a quiet area of Icmeler near the junction to the old Village & around 10 to 15 mins walk from the town centre.
The clientele were made up of English, from Thomas cook & Icmeler online, Germans, & Norwegian

We were greeted and show to our apartments by Hakan (More about him later) and a quick couple of hours of sleep and we were ready to start our holiday properly.

The Apartments: Owned by the mayor of Icmeler (In his 4th 5 year term now) who lives opposite.

The Apartments consisted of a main block of about 20 apartments all over looking the main swimming pool. At the rear, overlooking the smaller pool or gardens were three smaller blocks each with 2 or 3 apartments. Our apartment consisted of a double bedroom with remote control air conditioning. A Kitchen/lounge with two pull out single chair beds. A Shower room with WC and basin. They were spotlessly clean and ample for our needs. The balcony overlooked the second swimming pool and was out of the sun most of the day for that wonderful required shade. Electrics including Air Con only worked when your magnetic key was in the slot. Fridge stayed on at all times. Rooms were cleaned daily, towels changed twice a week and linen once a week. The maid even occasionally made the beds up adorned with flowers (A shame you had to move them to get some sleep).

The Swimming Pools: The main swimming pool was approximately 1.4m deep at the shallow end going 1.95 meters in the deep end. I estimated it to be approximately 3 by 8 metres in size with a kiddies pool at the far end approximately 30cm deep. The rear swimming pool was approximately 4 by 4 metres square and 1.45m deep in all places, the top left corner was a split as a kiddies pool again about 30cm deep. (Caution: The floor surrounding the pool could get very slippery when wet). Plenty of sunbeds were available around the pools and we never failed to get one, even when going out with towels at 10:00am in the morning.

The Bar: The bar was in the centre of the apartments and manned what looked to be like 24 hours, service was provided by Hakan and Mahmet (Excuse Spelling) who really looked after you, occasionally one of the mayor
