Club Ekinci Palace

Absolutely loved this place!! The staff couldn't do enough, we were made to feel like family. Loads of sun beds around the pool, which was pristine. Although this is self catering you can purchase food and drink at the hotel - excellent value for money and lovely quality. Nice quiet spot during the day, about 10 mins walk from the town center but small shops, where you can get everything you need, just two minutes around the corner. Music in the bar area in the evenings, so no need to go out if you don't want to. The rooms are clean and comfortable with fresh sheets and towels every couple of days. But, if not having an immaculately decorated room with brand new fixtures and fittings is going to ruin your holiday, this might not be the place for you. Tip.... it takes a while for hot water to get to the taps so you need to run the shower for five minutes before you get in - again, not something that ruined our experience.

This was my third time to turkey for the year 2023 and this was my worst stay ever. ok, let me start by saying, upon arrival the night staff didn't help with my suitcase and told me it is making too much noise because I'm pulling and not lifting it and he offered no help, first red flag. Secondly, No TV in the room, no telephone in the room. No iron in the room, no iron in the entire hotel, they don't supply iron and they don't have any to rent. Ask the manager about that, he was very rude in his response. Thirdly, not once did I get clean towels, not once did I have my sheets changed, not once did I have my room cleaned or swept and I was there for nine days (9 days). The only thing they did was change the bin, the floor was so dirty I couldn't walk barefoot, the floor was filled with hair from previous guests, all different kinds of hair, it was horrible. The Staffs are not nice to you if you don't spend money with them. Ok I know its self catering but maybe they expect me to wash my towels, bed sheet and hang them on the balcony or maybe it's because it's late October I'm confused. NEVER AGAIN.

I got a really good deal in late October so didn't expect too much. I was very pleasantly surprised. I had a one bedroom apar**ent which looked as though it had just been renovated. Beautiful bathroom with good shower, although water is solar heated, so never very hot. As it was coming towards the end of season the hotel was really quiet which suited me. I would not like to be there in high season as I think it would be noisy. The pool is lovely, pity about the water chute, though, spoils the pool area. Location is just perfect. 15 minutes walk to the beach and several supermarkets and bars within 5 minutes. Just on the edge of the old village so a nice quiet area. Best location of any hotel I looked at. Some in the old village are up a hill. Icmeler itself is beautiful. You can walk to marmaris in 1 hour along the promenade, although there are plenty of dolmus and the water taxi. Don't let the bad reviews put you off. This hotel is a great find.

We didn't pay much. Room was basic but didn't spend much time there. Was lovely and sunny by the pool, staff were friendly and got to know you, they were really inclusive and hotel was in a good location!

Just back from our 2nd visit this year. Been going for the past 10 years and this is our 2nd home. Osman and his family are simply the best. They are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They all work so hard and long hours to ensure your holiday is a good one. Elis has her own beauty room and i can highly recommend the facial trea**ent. So refreshing and relaxing. A lovely time of year to go. Rooms all booked but still loads of room by the pool. Met some more lovely couples that we enjoyed the company of most evenings drinking by the pool. I cant understand some of the older reviews on here especially regarding toilet rolls. There is one there when you arrive but its for you to buy your own after this. We never use the room for cooking anything but there is adequate equipment if you need it. If you were to want something like a wine/pint glass then just ask at reception and they will provide you with what you need. Somebody actually expected a coffee making machine. Really? This is a 3* accommodation. Everybody's idea of 3* is different. If you want the extras on top of the basics then maybe you should pay the extra money and go 4 or 5*. We would sooner use that money to spend out there. See you next year guys x

unclean, rude staff, not suitable for disabled users in my opinion. dirty rooms ripped bedsheets, charge for toilet rolls, towels, and various other things WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to anyone ever and would expect tour operators to do their due diligence and check hotel is as the photos they provided.

Absolutely love ekinci the staff is every friendly the owners and the daughters are wonderful people can’t get any nicer go out your way to help in anyway they can, the food is always great nice size pool also. Bed sheets and towels changed every 2/3 days rooms always cleaned Melis cocktails are unbelievable 😍😍 i will definitely return again 🥰

The worst place we have stayed. No hot water for 5 days. Owner/manager so rude told us not to complain and if we want hot water come back from beach earlier. Plug sockets hanging off wall, damp walls and ceiling, had to ask for clean towels. £85 for aircon £45 for wifi box . Very dirty, balcony constantly covered in pigeon feathers and poo. Curtains didnt cover windows. NEVER AGAIN AVOID

Just got home from a 10 night stay at Ekinci our second year at the hotel really does feel like home from home for us the staff are polite and friendly very relaxed a**osphere the pool area is probably one of the best in Icmeler the rooms have everything you need would highly recommend they have customers for life with us
