The hotel was very clean generally. Decor was of a very high standard in the public areas (eg hotel reception/foyer) but the bedrooms were more of a basic decor/standard say 3***.

Location-wise, it was great - right by the beach/bars/shops.

Entertainment was VERY poor - it usually consisted of a singer and an electric organ/guitar but really it was just background music - there was no joining in/games/quizes etc.

Bar-wise, there were less bars open than advertised in the brochure which was disappointing and sometimes it took longer to get served if you were a woman which is naughty.

Food-wise, it was generally very good and there was a lot of choice. Unable to take drinks/water to the room which was disappointing.

The air-con in the bedrooms was very poor.

Although the hotel is 4*, I felt that it was more like a 2-3* hotel.

We went all inc but after eating the same food every night ate out after day 5 (we went for 2 weeks).

The staff were excellent, vert helpful and friendly and polite.

The hotel itself was very clean, as soon as you used an ashtray the staff would replace it with a clean one.

The rooms were basic for a 4*, twin beds with 1 very hard pillow each and the waffle blanket that was very uncomfortable....the air con didn't work at night and we were told by another guest that it was switched off 2am-11am.. I woke every night at 6am to have cold shower as it was so hot...the bathroom was basic but at least the shower worked and didn't run cold !! We asked to move after the first night as we were over looking the road and deliveries woke us at 7am, but we were moved to a pool/sea view next day without a problem.

The entertainment was shocking, 3 diff men singing badly on rotation and luckily we had no kids with us as the only entertainment for them was a CD that played 5 songs exactly the same every night to dance with an over excited lady.

I would visit Icmeler again as it was an excellent resort but not the hotel as the rooms/food and entertainment were very below standard for 4*

We have just returned from a two week holiday at the L'Etoile Hotel in Icmeler.

This hotel was advertised as a 4* Hotel on the Brochure, it was more like a 2*. The furniture was very shabby and in great need of repair. The air conditioning was inadequate especially during the night.

The staff worked very hard to keep the hotel clean and tidy and most of them were very helpful.

The food was very repetetitive and did not cater for children. The chips were usually very scrappy and cold, which resulted in us eating outside the hotel after the 3rd day. This resulted in a very expensive holiday because we had paid for an all inclusive holiday.

The entertainment during the evening was very poor, there was an odd musician and for the very young a disco that lasted approximately 15 minutes.

The hotel did not really cater for teenagers to which there were four in our party. There was one pool table and one table tennis table. Often there were long queues to use these facilities.

Luckily for us the hotel was situated in a very delightful area, close to the beach and a short bus ride to Marmaris.

Altogether a very disappointing stay.

I've just returned from a 2 week holiday in Icmeler it was our 1st time at the L'Etoile hotel and I thought it was very good.

All the staff were very friendly especially the maids and bar staff ( JJ and Isaick) were very helpful.

The rooms were ok but at night it as very hot because the air conditioning turned off at 2am and even when it was on it wasn't brilliant.

The food was ok but most of the time it was the same sort of thing and there wasn't alot of choice for children.

At night we never stayed in because there wasn't really any entertainment and during the day there wasn't any either.

Even though the hotel is 4 star would say its about 3 star.

Just returned from a wonderful two week holiday staying in Icmeler at L'Etoile Beach, and after reading some of the reviews here before we jetted off, I felt compelled to write about our experience of the hotel.

Hotel looks impressive, better than in the brochure and was very clean. It was very cosmpolitan with plenty of Dutch, German, British and Russian tourists. Staff very professional and hard working.

The rooms are fairly basic but have all you need and are cleaned to a high standard.

Food was excellent with plenty of choice and few repetitions over our two week stay. Breakfast selection was brilliant with lots of different breads, cereals, fruits, yogurts, eggs, cheeses and meats along with a daily hot selection. Lunch and dinner included plenty of fresh salads, breads, cheeses and hot dishes from stews and pastas to roast chicken and lamb meatballs. Everything looked appetizing and was well presented. Desserts to die for too, including baklavas, cakes, mousses and tarts- the clothes certainly feel a bit tighter now I am back! And if that is not enough, there are burgers, chips and pizza in the afternoon, follwed by cake and biscuits at tea time and even late night soup and bread!

The only downside was poor entertainment but there are plenty of other places to go in Icmeler and nearby Marmaris if you prefer.

Hi. Me and my girlfriend visited this hotel last June and we oved it. The staff were all very helpful and we found our room spotless with beautiful views (but I do agree about the A/C being lame).

The food was tasty and had a wide variety of choice. Most of the day we spent by the pool and the bar was more or less poolside so it was handy when we needed a drink. Activities happened through the day with water aerobics and water polo.

We didn't spend much time at the hotel in the evening as we prefered to have a wander around the other bars so I can't comment on the entertainment. Me and my girlfriend have just recently went back to Thomas Cook and rebooked our holiday back to Icmeler and we are staying again in the Le'toile.

Roll on the 29th June 2007 !!!!

This will be our third time at the Letoile and we cannot fault this hotel in any way it certainly delivered on all departments.

There is so much food to chose from you dont know where to start! Staff and management so helpful ( hello to Mehmet ,Isaik and the lovely wee lassie behind the bar)

You could not be situated in a more fantastic location. I wouldnt be too concerned about the lack of entertainment unless you have kids, but for couples its perfect and the fact that there are guests from all over the worldmakes it a great multicultural experience .

Just relax and soak up the atmosphere Icmeler is one of the most beautiful clean places I have ever been in and the Letoile is the perfect base for your holiday.

Regardless of what negative reports youve read there are some people you can never please.

Roll on 29th June !

I have stayed twice in hotel it is clean I agree with others the food was not great but this year I felt it had improved.

The staff were very good the air con needs updating the rooms I have been in have been excellent but I have seen some of the others and they are in need of an update. The carpets make them look shabby they need to have wooden floors like some of the nicer rooms.

The entertainment is still not very good but in the day they now have a new entertainments leisure person his name is Arpel, he is excellent very friendl and helpful. Likes a laugh. His bingo nights are great and the prizes are fab!
