The waiters are so helpful ( halil is great )he got promoted because we praised him so much. You really don't have to lift a finger well only to order a drink.
If anyone doesn't have a great time here then nowhere will be good enough.

It is now an Escape apart/hotel not a Suncentre but the entertainment was really good.There are 7 in the team led by Kieron aaand all are brilliant.I was in the hotel on the top floor facing the pool,unfortuately the mosque is 50yards away and wakes you at 5am every morning!.
These rooms are directly above the stage and the entertainment doesnt finish until midnight.A lot of people stayed in this area till 2am which means you need to take earplugs.
The rooms are spacious and have a double bed and 2 sofas.They have been refurbished and all the beds are new.To use the lift you have to use the fob on your room key which also operates the electricity.Our fridge wasnt working so I am pleased I didnt pay the 40TL for a key which you dont need as the door opens if you just press down on the door.The staff are very friendly and most speak English but dont really understand it.
The food is lovely and the desserts are to die for.The resturant is non smoking but there are plenty of tables outside.The childrens mini disco starts at 8pm so if you want to eat then dont get to near the stage!The hotel operates a Tom watch system which you pay at reception so dont need to carry money around the hotel.Even the hotel shop has to use this.The water is 2.99TL for 1.5ltr in hotel and 2TL for 5ltrs at supermarket nearby.Beer is 3.99TL,shandy 4.28TL and coke 4.28TL in hotel.
There is a large pool,a childrens pool and 2 small pools joined by a rock waterfall.There were plenty of sunbeds when I was there and there is a room next to pool toilets with about another 100,but with them all out it will there will be little room between them.Pool games take place at about 3pm.Music is piped to pool side and is varied and pleasent.Take ear plugs if you dont want to hear it.
There is a jewellery shop and a sunglasses/watch/CD/DVD shop in reception.To get to the beach you can catch the blue dolmus just to the left of the entrance on the main road for 1TL or walk straight over the road and down to the cafe Ibiza,turn left then right and straight down to the main road to the main coast road.
The Dolmus to Icmeler is orange and leaves from just in front of where you get dropped off.The only negative was over the road to the entrance was a smallholding with chickens and roosters and the smell is dreadful.If your room overlooks this you may not be able to open your veranda door.
The club Julian is great for families as the children are entertained from 10am till midnight.I think they should be made to sit down after their mini disco but some run around till midnight.

The hotel is in a good location. Although you needed to catch a small bus if you wanted the beach. This only cost 1 lira (about 40p)
Everywhere was clean and tidy.
The entertainment in the hotel was good and varied from break dancer, belly dancer and comedian and singer.

Entertainment starts at 10 am and continues through to midnight - great if you have young children, but we felt like it was a Hi-de-hi Butlins style holiday camp. If you like bingo, karaoke,aqua aerobics, waterpolo, darts, pool, kids mini-disco, reps cabaret, bar crawl, infact anything typically British - then this is great for you - just not our kind of place for a holiday.
We found a nearby aparthotel, with a private pool to use, where we escaped to on days we wanted to relax.
We didn't eat in the hotel as we prefered to sample local cuisine in local restaurants.
We had a great holiday overall but just used the apartments as a base. Just personal choice, but we made a mistake in coming to such a large noisy hotel complex with tacky british entertainment. Would have prefered a smaller hotel without boom boom boom entertainment 14 hours a day.

Firstly, the hotel was very clean and we were very pleased with our room with balcony. The double glazed windows kept out any noise from outside and the domestic staff were very friendly and competent.
However, what let the hotel down was the constant badgering from the Turkish waiters, every day, all day. When we started to ignore them, they became quite hostile towards us. Some of them were very nice and their good behaviour was consistent all week, others let the hotel down by their childish ways.
Also, because the lift only works with a key, and only having one between three people, the walk up to the 5th floor was not pleasent every day!!
Overall the hotel facilities were excellent, this hotel however is for families and not single people or anyone without children! Trust me!!
Anyone wanting to take an early morning swim, beware, Sarah is watching on CTV! NO SWIM 8PM - 8AM!

The cleanliness of the hotel was excellent you got clean towels evveryday and every second day your bedding got changed.
I liked the way that you had a hairdryer in your room. The room that we had was very big.
We had pizza a couple of times by the pool side from the complex and they were really good we did have dinner there twice the first time was good the second time was not so good so we did'nt eat there again.
They had three lovely kept pools 2 big pools and 1 baby pool,they had free sun loungers,they also had a pool table,couple of game machines and also a kids club.
There was'nt much for my youngest son to do who is 6 year and is disabled, but we did find a brilliant pub not so far from our hotel the rainbow club we went there every night and the staff there was brilliant they had a swing, a slide, playhouse and also other things for the kids to do my kids loved going there. This is were we ate most of the time the food was okay.
We never stayed in the complex for the entertainment but from what I heard from every one who I was on holiday with they told me that it was brilliant.
Did'nt want to come home I was crying when I had to say goodbye to everyone as they were all very nice people and also friendly. I'm hoping to visit Turkey again next year hopefully marmaris again and if I do I would stay at the club Julian.

The food was fantastic a choice of English and traditional Turkish food. You could always find something you liked.
The location not to bad a few bars and restaurants near by and shops. A short walk away were the bus stop busses into town centre every ten mins or so right up till 1AM.
The staff were very friendly always on hand to help in anyway possible.(TOP BAR MAN WAS OSMAN)he couldn't do enough for you. In the end we ended up re-naming the bar OSSYS BAR.
The entertainment was 5* those reps really worked hard all day long.
I got back 2 days ago and have already booked my return trip next June with my daughter this time shes 9 and I just no she'll love it.

The room is too small for 2 adults 1 teenager and one 8 year old, the teenager had difficulty fitting in his bed! The table in the room was heavily stained with marks from cups, glasses etc and the bath had mould growing around it.
We went down to ask the rep to move to a bigger room and she said she would fax the office to see if there was one available but wouldn't get a reply for the whole day.
I pointed out about the stains on the table and she didn't even offer to send someone to clean them, she just said we can't get rid of some stains, totally unacceptable, especially as I ended up cleaning them myself with a damp tissue.
Our balcony overlooked some sort of small holding which had a lot of chickens, cows and dogs, the chickens and cows stunk to high heaven, especially in the high temperatures and the dogs barked from very early in the morning until late in the evening, so using the balcony was out of the question.
I know you get what you pay for but this was supposed to be a four star hotel and there is no way it could be called that.
We ended up staying there because even though we wanted to move, there was no other room or resort available. If you want a sunbed by the pool then you have to contradict all the signs about reserving sunbeds with towels and do like everyone else does and go down and put your towels down there, otherwise, you just wont get one.
The pools were good, but with questionable hygiene, we saw one parent washing his child in the kids pool after the child had soiled himself!!
