The hotel was absolutelly spotless, there was always a daily maid service and rooms were mopped out everyday. Food was fine, usually some strange mixes but all very nice. The location was brilliant, right on the sea front, 2 mins away from the bars and restaurants. Hotel staff were all very friendly and cooperative, the holiday reps are also very outstanding, always on hand! Entertainment could have been better but fingers crossed there is a new entertainment team in now and thing should liven up. This is been the best holiday i have ever been on and i will be returning next year.

Hi.
We have just returned from the Hotel L'Etoile and I must say I enjoyed everything about it.
The food was excellent, there was always alot to choose from. The dining area was spacious and the outside dining area was particulary nice because you could see the beach and overlook the garden.
The room we stayed in included 3 single beds, an amazing view of Icmeler as we were on the 4th floor, a nice sized bathroom, A/C, and more including a balcony.
It was always very clean in the Hotel, maids changed your sheets and provided dry cloths and clean towels daily. The staff were incredible. They were extremely friendly and never once hesitated to help us out, they were always making sure we were comfortable and happy. The atmosphere around the hotel was enjoyable.
The location was perfect. The beach and sea were just outside the Hotel and you only had to step outside the front door and within view were a variety of shops and restraunts to choose from. To be honest the entertainment wasnt a problem for me as there were bars and all sorts going on in the town, I didnt mind that the Hotel didnt provide 'loads' of entertainment if people wanted it they could easily walk a few yards to a bar of something similar. There was music played at the side of the pool, a BBQ , a room where a t.v and computer were provided along with comfy sofas and much more.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay at the L'Etoile Hotel and we will be visiting it again in April.

The food was disgusting and repetative, food was often uncooked in the middle or heated from a previous meal. Sprouts that were not eaten turned up in a seafood dressing on the salad bar the next day. The staff were alright but not as helpful as they could have been. The hotel location was ideal for the beach and for walking around the resort.

Entertainment was terrible, the guy couldn't sing and didn't know the words to almost all of the songs he attempted. A few people offered to pay for his taxi home he was that bad.
We would never visit this hotel again, one room was off limits due to a bridge tournament, which left one bar for everyone else. Take my advice and book elsewhere.

Tha All Inclusive part of the hotel was fantastic. There was always food on and always 2 bars open. There was one at the back of the hotel near the beach was always open in the day time and always one by the pool oopen 24 hours.
The hotel cleanliness was always at a high standerd. there was not one part of the hotel you would see a mess because as soon as there is dirt or muck it has been cleaned up. Very high standerds.
The hotel food wasn't so great. The turkish obviously like their chick and chips. Chicken was the main meet of the day everyday. there wasn't really much change in the food but it was eadable enough to eat.
The hotel location was ok. Near markets and the beach and just down the road which was walkinable in 5 minutes was very good.
The hotel staff are very polite and have a laught with you. They help you in every way shape and form. Very polite and helpful.
Entertainment at night was very poor in the hotel but you do have 5/6 clubs in walkable distance. In the day time there is alot of entertainment on.

We have just returned from spending a second year at the L'Etoile hotel, Icmeler. What a wonderful time we had. The cleanliness of the hotel was excellent, the staff were very friendly and most helpful. The majority of the staff spoke very good English and we found no problem in holding a conversation with them. They also had a good sense of humour. The food although repetative is lovely with several choices for every taste. How anybody can complain about this hotel is beyond us and if you want to eat English...stay at home. The only grumble we had was about the room allocated on arrival, but after speaking to reception, we were allocated another room almost immediately and we were completely satisfied. The hotel pool is kept very clean and there were ample sunbeds available for use. The entertainment wasn't great, but definitly an improvement on last year. Sarah the Thomas Cook rep was most helpful over a minor problem we had and was always available for advice if needed. She was wonderful. We will definitly be going back to this hotel again.

Hotel was more of a 2*+,some staff were friendly, on reception, if you were a young female they would help, if not they weren't helpful at all.Rooms were cleaned every day maid was cheerful.Bar staff served the warm beer in plastic beakers which had been used that many times some had teeth marks in. Ice you had to ask for then given 2 small ice cubes in drinks which melted straight away as glass warm as well as drink. Entertainment well what can I say if you liked Billy Bontempi on his organ trying to sing English songs, making the words up.During the day there was water polo for adults,which was terrible.For children there wasnt much,a pool table 1 Que which was selotaped together. Food repeated it self, chips, scabby, what was left over was used in salad next day.Plus flys on food.Air conditioning centrally controlled was told by rep ment,hotel turned on and off. When it was hot they turned it off! Sun beds you got 1 if you got up at 6am.

Hotel is located in the heart of all the bars,shops etc. and very close to the beach.The staff are very friendly and helpful.Rooms are basic but very comfortable.Rooms are cleaned every day with fresh linen and towels.Staff in hotel are always cleaning.
Entertainment is very limited for a big hotel,mainly being someone singing or a turkish folk group and a turkish belly dancer.Food was very repetitive and not a lot of choice.OK if you like spicy food.Very well presented and always hot.Swimming pool very small and have to get up early if you want a sunbed.Not a lot to do for the 13 to 17 year old age group.I would stay at this hotel if I could go self catering or B&B but defiantly not All Inclusive.

The biggest issue we found with the hotel was noise.
I don't know why but they had two big marshall syle speakers around the pool playing music all day.
Generally rap, reggae and mixed pop not my cup of tea!
If you are there in high season, the pool is small and if you can put up with simon cowell's finest etc you will have to be up like a lark to get a sun bed, I failed most days!
The hotel is a far cry from 4 star- i would say 3 tops.
Food was fine, unless you are wanting jellied eels and steak pie.
Good soups, salad's and main course selection with a range of sweets as well.
It's not a hotel to recommend, a two hour journey from the airport, long flight, i would say there is just nothing to recommend it or make the effort for.

We stayed at the l'etoile for 2 weeks all inclusiv. The fod was quite repetitive but thre was always something there you liked it suited all ov the 11 who went even though there was a few fussy eaters.
The maids cleaned the room everyday, and were always cheery when you saw them.
The hotel is located in a very good place in between all of the bars and reseraunts etc. The beach is just right outside of the hotel. The dining room is set half outside, with usualy all the hot food and the bbq and half inside where the buffet style food is such as your starters and dessert which there was a big choice of. The dining area outside is very nice as you can see the sea from you seat.
The hotel staff are friendly and are willing to ddo anything to help you.
The entertainment was poor, everynight was a diffeent man playing an instrument and (trying) to sing. This wasnt that bad as we stayed in the hotel for an hour or so while the entertainment began, then we went out of the hotel to different bars.
I would deffinatley visit this hotel again and so would the ret of the party i travelled with.

we booked two weeks all inclusive at the l'etoile. it was first class for cleanliness,and located on the beach front. staff were excellent really friendly and helpful. food presentation was excellent lots of choice. entertainment adequate but was fine for us as we wanted a quite relaxing holiday. only negative aspect was not enough sunloungers and you had to set your alarm for 6 am to get one haha. i would definately visit this hotel again and highly recommend it. the thomas cook rep sarah was very friendly and helpful. due to a family bereavement we had to cut short our holday. sarah and the staff were very helpful and could not do enough for both of us.
