My experience at the elite world marmaris hotel Check in was fast, friendly, efficient. Although we arrived early, we were pleasantly surprised to find our room was ready straightaway. The man that showed us to our room seemed very nervous and spoke very quickly so I'm not sure I really absorbed all of the information he was trying to share. I assumed that he was new in his role and settling in. Room was on the 4th floor and facing the infamous Shake Bar, I'd read all the reviews and thought it may be an inconvenience but I'm very easygoing and really how bad could it be? Went to lunch, which was standard buffet fare. Fresh salads and breads. Wine was good enough for me. After lunch we walked back through the lobby and met the Guest Relations person Mr Can who showed us around, told us not to jump the wall to the next hotel(!?) and then proceeded to survey us as to our opinions on the hotel which was odd to say the least, coming just seconds after an orientation. The beach is lovely, co**** gravelly sand with a gentle slope into Crystal clear water. Beds are fine but not overly comfortable and I'd advise a visit to the spa to collect your towel before you attempt to sit on the plastic mattress. Ouch! The attendants are on hand to help with your bed or umbrella or chase off anyone without a hotel wristband. There is a fridge with water to help yourself but no other drinks at the beach. The buffet quickly becomes boring. The salad area at first glance seems large and varied but it never changes at all at lunch or dinner. What appears to be 5 salads is in fact the same but chopped differently or with tuna or orange sprinkled on top. The array of cheeses available at breakfast is reduced to just 1 at lunch and dinner. The hot food is very disappointing. Every day chips or wedges, rice and grilled chicken. There is usually some sort of meat casserole and pasta and a fish. Vegetarians rarely hve a hot option at lunch or dinner. The aubergines and peppers are stuffed with meat and there's usually mince in the pasta too. Drinks are served to the table during meals. This is generally one man, Ali, running around trying to help everyone whilst three others stand in the door saying hello. Poor guy must be exhausted everyday but always smiles, chats and tries his very best. We found all of the staff to be super friendly, helpful and hardworking, especially the bar tenders and coffee shop batistas. The only exception to this would be the front desk staff, who look a little scared when you approach, if they are there at all, had to visit several times when key cards stopped working. The snack bar is open most of the afternoon and is a life saver. The pizza is fab and the onion ring portions amazing! I wouldn't usually eat pizza more than once a week at most but had lunch here at least 7 times over our 9 day stay. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss. Playing hunt the towels was good, sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes on the bed, sometimes jus

Where do I start? I guess rooms would be the first place. If you get put in a room on any floor that ends in 001 to 006 then you are in trouble. These rooms are opposite the noisiest bar I have ever heard. Loud booming cheese music until 1am. If you want any sleep before that you won't get any. There also seems to be no sound proofing. We asked to move and after two days we got a room away from this noise. It looks like most guests get put in those until they complain. A very shady practice It is worth adding that I asked for my money back after night one as we had to sit out the back of the hotel until 1am as it was impossible to sit in the room. They refused saying it was non refundable. I pointed out that I hadn't booked a room with a nightclub in it. Perhaps they thought I should be paying extra? The food is a variation of chicken, limp chips, pasta, something odd and salad every day. As I found out, sometimes the chicken is not even cooked and red raw - food poisoning awaiting to happen. I would recommend you treat this hotel as breakfast only instead of all inclusive as far as meals are concerned. And even breakfast is bleak and dystopian. It is worth noting that on Monday it is Turkish night which is the same dire food set to music. The people who have rated the food as good at this hotel clearly usually eat out of bins The rooms are clean and relatively comfortable but don't try and watch TV in your room. They limit the volume to 15 which is about 10 past 12 on a clock face. You cannot hear anything. Absolutely pointless The pool area is a bit cramped but the pool itself is nice as is the beach. No sign of any beach drink service as advertised though. The staff are lovely, friendly and hard working, with the exception of the front desk staff who are miserable, rude and sneer at you. Hardly a professional way to treat paying guests A special mention must go to the buffet manager who stands at the door pointing and smoking over everybody's food as they walk past. When he is not eating himself You will probably be approached by Mr Can from Guest Relations within 10 minutes of arrival to give your feedback on the hotel for his survey. You wont see him again to give your actual feedback after a day at this place. So please take this as your review Mr Can Whenever we passed through the lobby and saw people waiting to go home I thought how lucky they were. That sums it up

Hotel was amazing could not fault it in anyway. Food was amazing with lots of variety to choose from. The staff are very very freindly especially Can, Sebo & Ramazan. Would definitely be visiting again when visiting Icmeler as it is one of the best ones around
