The hotel and rooms were kept clean. Being a cleaner myself I had to check, and walking into the room and seeing petals on the bed it was amazing excellent cleaners. At the end of your stay the cleaners would leave a note for you. Also pool was clean everyday
Stayed at hotel for 7 nights and 5 of those nights we ate at the hotel, Fuod amazing what else can I say. The other 2 nights we went to other places to try the food and we did not enjoy the food and portions were excellent and we got free ice cream for kids and we also got offered tea coffee on house to.
The staff were, well what can I say apart from excellent. Amazing great people, friendly, helped at every turn, my kids played with them and got them to help them,got them up to dance they loved it. My kids cried when leaving as they had a ball. They are now saving their money up to go back in September. Seeing my kids so happy was the best, thans to them, and if you wanted to ask them for help or just a question they did it brillant people loved the place so much.
Loved it they would get kids up to dance and show them the dances to the songs, and they tried on a few times to get myself up but it did not work until the last night Sercan got me up to dance,
Going to book up again for September. Looking forward to going back.

Rooms cleaned every day, towels and bed linen every other day. Cleaner left rose petals on my bed on towels, what a lovely touch.
Shane on reception really nice guy, intelligent able to give lots of info when needed, very pleasant all of the time, nothing ever too much for him.
Pool area small but quiet, had lots of fun there, and lady on pool bar very lovely person, always willing to fetch drinks and extremely pleasant all of the time.
Ate in Maestro most evenings food brilliant and 15% discount for guests. Heaven bar excellent entertainment, can be a bit repetitive but we had amazing good nights as the people in our hotel always ended up back there. Waiters work so hard, so much energy. Would be going back late Aug/Sept but already fully booked up.
I travelled with my parents but they stayed for two weeks in another hotel. They wished they had stayed at Efendi too and will be definitely returning there next year. Brilliant holiday for me, top marks to resort, food and especially all of the wonderful staff - what a great team.

Good points
It would be hard to better the location of this hotel as it is literally on the beach, also a 2 minute walk along the front to the canal and all the little shops etc.
The hotel itself was clean if not a little dated in the main restaurant and bar area but rooms were quite nice.
Staff ok if a little phoney but hey eveyone has to make a living.
Pool very very small.
Bad points
Lots of pressure to eat in Maestro restaurant, it was good but nice to have a change without hassle, make sure you check your bill every time....do not pay the next day as this is a very clever way to add drinks you have not had!
Although the hotel was reasonably clean we on many occasions saw a rat......yes a rat...near the back of the restaurant...which has a screen near the pool area
which probably explains it as there was a manhole with the lid off most of the time! We saw it so often we named it Umit.
Finally do not allow the staff to help themselves to your cigarettes as they tried this with us and we made a complaint to the management....didn't get the service we should have had after this but it solved the problem.
Would we return? in a word .....no.

We ended up here as our room at Kontes Beach has been double booked, no complaints with hotel, very clean, staff were polite and very helpful especially Shane on reception, did'nt eat in restaurant only for breakfast, it was basic but adequate for breakfast.
No hassle to eat in hotel but we never went into the restaurant always went out the main entrance. Only used the pool one day, the rest we were on the beach, which is a stones throw away.
Personally I could'nt fault the hotel for what we used it for and I would go back without hesitation.

Maids worked hard and did a great job - cleaned room daily and fresh towels every other day.
Breakfast was the same every day - bread, eggs, melon but there were mornings you had to practically beg for a cup of coffee.
Apart from breakfast we didn't use the hotel restaurant because the staff were generally unfriendly and sarcastic.
That's why the restaurant was empty most of the time! Didn't bother with the hotel bar either for the same reason except for the odd drink after the beach.
Hotel receptionist were helpful and friendly but the restaurant/bar staff should take a walk uptown to see how it should be done.
They obviously had their favourite customers and if you weren't one of them - tough! Location was excellent but we wouldn't go back to the Efendi.

The hotel location was faultless.....best we have had, unfortunately the same could not be said for some, and we say only some, of the staff! Reception was very good as was the pool attendant, very clean pool if a little small! And the cleaning ladies were lovely...flowers etc on the bed.
We found the restaurant staff,.....manager in particular, very intimidating and put so much pressure on us to eat there that it became a nightmare trying to leave the hotel in the evening....so much so that we sneaked out of the side door! This was such a shame because we did enjoy our stay overall.
Evening entertainment was karaoke and 5 minutes of the same staff doing the same jig evernight..... Same time!
This could be a great little hotel but unless things change regarding the restaurant we sadly will not be returning.

Can only say good things about this hotel, the staff were fantastic, especially at the start of our second week when Laura took ill. the receptionist phoned a doctor, came up to see if everything was OK.
The restaurant staff were brilliant, really friendly and very concerned over Laura's health. The food was excellent, and the portions were generous!!. never had any problems with billing for the meals, despite what i had heard before going.
The pool & pool bar area was always very clean, as were the rooms, and always well attended to. We are going back to Icmeler this year but not to the efendi, only because we want all inc, but we will certainly be visiting the maestro for a meal or two.
As a base for your holiday, and for good food/service, this is one of the best.!!

We booked a late deal, and were a bit wary as this was our first visit to Turkey. We were not dissappointed!
The hotel was perfect...both in location and service. It has been newly decorated and maid service was spot on!
The pool was extremely clean and very refreshing to cool down in after a few hours sun bathing! No problem with sun beds, we could have found one at any time of the day.
Might be a bit busier as the season went on, though.
The staff in the adjoining bar and restaurant (Heaven and Maestro) couldn't have been friendlier. We were on first name terms with them from day one!
The location was ideal...right next to beach and shops and restaurants right on your doorstep!

We arrived at Hotel Efendi mid June, first impressions were ok.
As for cleanliness towels/sheets are changed every other day, rooms cleaned around the edges, under the beds were filthy.
We never ate in the bar attached to the hotel Maestro/Heaven as it was always empty, staff were rude when we chose to eat next door.
Location of hotel is fabulous, about the only thing going for it. Its literally 30 seconds away from the beach (stunning) and a few minutes walk from the shops, overall a pretty perfect location.
Hotel pool area not very clean, pool guy throws chlorine in when you are still in the pool which could be dangerous and we only seen it being cleaned once or twice. Sunbeds taken by 6am some mornings but usually you could get a place.
Entertainment did not exist.
Overall totally unsuitable for a family, if youre over the age of 65 you should fit in, we would never ever stay here again purely on the cleanliness front.
