“Gone Down Hill”

I went with my Partner to this Hotel last June there is 3 hotels and we stopped in the Deluxe, what a fantastic time we had at the begining of our Holiday, Great Room Lovely weather, Food what you would expect in an All Inclusive so couldnt really Complain, Met loads of people as they did alot of pool games during the day, darts and Killer Pool. Didnt really have to go out on a night as the entertainment was ok they did games and bingo and you won prizes, sometimes quite a bit of money!
For the price we paid for it when we got back home we thought why not go again so we booked to go again in September and OMG what a mistake, we again paid extra about £100 each to stop in the deluxe again but prefered this Hotel so we thought it was worth the extra money. When we eventually arrived at the hotel, we found out that the other 2 had actually closed down so everyone booked who had paid less were in the same hotel as us anyway so there was no point in paying the extra money. I believe this was down to Gold Trail going bust. We were shown our room it was on the second floor and had no balcony and 2 seperate beds that couldnt be moved together, we had booked for a double room so went down to reception to complain, the lady at reception was cold and said there was nothing she could do they were fully booked up due to the other hotels closing down, we explained that we had paid extra money then other people that were booked in to this hotel yet we were given one of the worst rooms! She eventually started ignoring us which obviously made us even more angry but remember that the owner of the hotel came in most days so we would speak to him. But for 2 days he never showed up so we kept going down to reception and complaining, With still nothing happening we spoke to people leaving there rooms and they helped us confront reception and make them give us there old room, It was on the 5th floor be we thought nothing of it as there was lifts or so we thought! not long after we moved rooms they broke down... we mentioned this to reception aswell as did alot of other people stopping unfortunatly they didnt do anything about it and for the rest of the holiday we had to walk up and down when we needed to go to the room or down.
When we first arrived in September there must have been something going on with the Turkish community so on the first evening i actually thought the food had improved, but how wrong was i, for the rest of the holiday it was all the same i no All Inclusive can some times be around the same stuff but honestly it was like they didnt do anything else and the food was cold and some uncooked, breakfast if the bread hadnt gone they used it the next day for breakfast so it was stail the cereal was soft and the salads were dying! We ended up eating out every night so our holiday was becoming more and more expensive not to mention there was no evening entertainment so we ended up either going out and having food and drinks or we were tucked up in bed after eating,
The only thing that hadnt changed from the first time we went was the staff in the restraunt and bars most of them were still as Jolly as ever!
Take some advise and if you decided to go to Icmeler which is a lovely place to go make sure you book somewhere with a lot of good reviews and not just go because its cheap because when you get home you will be glad the holiday is over and it will put you off going back to such a fantastic place. Make sure if you go you go on the booze cruz fantastic trip and beautiful food!

i went to this hotel in july for 10days with my partner, what ever you do not go! room had no balcony, just a small window that overlooked the road. the staff were rude. our room door fell off, twice!! the food was horrible. we could never get around the big pool so went round the small pool which is next to the road so nice traffic noise. we spent most of our time at the beach away from this dump!!! oh n our taxi transfer never turned up so but the hotel said it had and we had missed it (we hadn't) so we had to pay for a taxi to the airport. on the plus side the weather was good :-) oh and also we had to pay for aircon but it didn't work on the first night so had to sleep with the window open all night as it was so hot, woke up in the morning and we had been bitten to death by mosquitos :(

“OH DEAR - Please listen to the reviews of this Hotel!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011

We went there for an all inclusive week for our honeymoon as we were short on monay after the wedding. When we booked it and looked at the photos we were very happy for the price that we payed.
Arriving in Turkey and getting on our transfer was ok, when travelling to Icmeler, pulling up outside other Hotels we were excited as they all seemed very nice. A couple of times i asked our Rep what she thought of our Hotel and she ignored me - Gave me great confidence.
We arrived at approx 3am in the morning - 3 hours later that we were we told.
It was then i realised why the rep ignored my questions......
Hotel was dirty, cats roaming everywhere, recpetion staff was rude, he told us our room was not booked and it would take him a while to get us a room as they are full. Tried to charge us extra for a room safe (that was not even in the room, they are kept outside in the corridor of the Hotel - and alot of them had been broken into) He also tried to charge us for the air conditioning unit - That of which didnt work properly anyway.
Eventually after another couple got checked in before us we were taken to our room - This was in Block B across the road. The porter took us up to the 6th floor - in the 1 lift that was working (later on in the holiday the 2 lifts were out of order and we had to climb 6 lots of stairs everytime we went to our room)
The porter let us in to our room and came in with us - He hung around until my husband asked him to leave (later we found out he was waiting for a tip)
The room was DISGUISTING - The shower curtain was black with dirt - The shower tray has mould growing all around the edges and up the wall (i showered in flip flops the whole week)
The bed was a double bed - But it was like lying on the floor. The balcony was tiny and overlooked the Hotel opposite - So we had a lovely view of walls!!!
The balcony door didnt close properly so we had a draft coming through.
We got woken up EVERY morning at approx 6am - AS the Hotel was near a mosque - So you heard them all praying for at leat half an hour (i nearly died the first time this happened as it scared the life out of me!!!)
We did complain the next morning (after 2 hours sleep) The reception staff did not understand much english and our Rep did not seem interested - When they explained we could move into the main Hotel it would be at a cost - I was not going to pay that as i was already regretting the money i had paid for it so far.
Our room was only serviced twice during our stay - and that did not include new towels. My husband asked for extra pillows the second day and only got them the third day after asking continuosly and giving a tip!!!
The pool was ok, managed to get a bed everyday.
Food was ok too - Repetitive and not always hot - But plenty of it.
Drink - Finished at 11pm - Which we found odd for an all inclusive holiday!!
We found Staff to be very nice - We managed to have a good laugh with the bar boys and after a few days they started recognising us!!!
We were abit shocked to find out there had been a fight in the local club 'Eastenders' and some of the staff had been sacked as they were involved in it, the fight had involved knives!!!
The Turkish bath man in the Hotel is a pratt - We only had the basic bath done as we had paid for that in the package excursion trip that we had booked. He was not happy as we were not willing to pay for mored got very abrupt. After having the turkish bath he made us look at the camera - he explained that was incase we came out in spots or a rash they were not to blame! We found this very weird and i would not suggest for anyone to go there!!!
Whilst out on a boat trip a lady noticed 1 of our friends 'Litera' Wristband that you wear for the all inclusive - She laughed and said 'That hotel was on TV not so long ago for being dirty and serving food that were making people ill' It is known as 'Shitera'
Overall it was a VERY DIRTY, disappointing Hotel. Definately nothing like the photos on the internet and most certainly not the 4* that they advertise.
I would not go back and to be honest it has put us off Turkey FULL STOP!!!

“If there was a Zero rating I would give it to this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2011

We booked to go to Turkey for 2 weeks for our 30th wedding anniversary. When I made the booking with the agents we talked for ages about what we were looking for and chose what looked like a lovely hotel. When we arrived we were told that we had been 'upgraded' to the Litera as the other hotel was closing during our second week due to end of season.
We are not fussy people and will make the best of most things - BUT - I have NEVER been so disgusted by what I saw at this hotel. The staff were rude, the carpets were frayed and covered in stains, the beds felt like concrete, our 'sea view' room looked across a terrace to another room, the bathroom was full of mould, we had Eastenders night club outside our room and they have foam parties till 4am, the thatching around the pool was falling off, it was a dark, dismal experience. There was a tatoo parlour in reception!
When our rep arrived the next morning I told her to either move us or send us home! Yes, I would have gone home rather than stay there another night! Thankfully she moved us to a lovely hotel and we had an enjoyable 2 week stay in Ichmeler which is a lovely town.
When we got home I contacted our agents to tell them about our experience - they were so horrified that we had been sent to this hotel (they knew of its reputation) they gave us £200 without being asked. I think that speaks volumes!
