A bit of prehistory. Last year, we were in Marmaris in the budget four on the second (in fact, the third line), as a result, almost all the days we went for service and comfort to the paid Icon Beach in Icmeler.

I spent almost a week searching for a hotel this year, monitoring regions, the sea and hotels. Of the three chosen, I settled on this one.

We were lucky with the promotional price - 2.000 UAH (~750€) for 6 nights, however, the flight was a day one. We got to the hotel only at 7 pm. And this is taking into account the fact that we had an express transfer.

The area is quite large and beautiful. The sea just below the hotel is wonderful. There are several pools.

The food is excellent, but no frills. Meat - turkey, beef, chicken in different dishes. The grill is very delicious. Fish - tuna and mackerel on the grill, there was no dorado.
Fruits - watermelons, melons, grapes, apples, oranges, plums.
Desserts are varied, but the most delicious - brownie with blackberries, was not every day.

Many types of cheeses, vegetables (only for some reason there were not enough tomatoes, they always ended by the end of dinner).

The coffee in the vending machines is surprisingly not bad, they also make a decent cappuccino.
Alcohol. Thanks to those people who write reviews in detail) It was in them that I learned the necessary information. The champagne here is local, dry, not bad enough. Beefeater, Gordons, Baileys, Balantays, Martini - this is what we tried, you just need to name the brand of the drink when ordering. Otherwise, according to the script, local alcohol is poured. The cocktail list is large, but it's better not to try. Diluted with juice and soda, local drinks do not bring pleasure.

The sea here is perfect - there are no biting fish, jellyfish, algae and other things too. The views are beautiful on Mount Tahtali.

Excursions - they are in the hotel from the Anex tour and the price is simply doubled. $48 and $25 from local agencies. The difference is that you need to go to the exit of the hotel, walk 5 minutes and pay 2 times less.
Massage is generally a separate conversation. The SPA manager started with 160 euros, in the end he himself (we did not bargain) reached $ 100 for two. Balinese one-hour full body massage. We refused)

Verdict: Excellent hotel. I take off 2 points for 2 nuances. First, I couldn't exchange $50 anywhere. Although it is a service. All shops in the hotel, SPA and guides were freezing. Only at the reception they showed the cashier that there are only large ones and there is nothing to change. Small money was needed for a trip to Antalya. The second "nuance" - linen disappeared from the room after cleaning. Moreover, the husband on this day, in front of the beach, forgot to close the safe and neither money nor an expensive ring disappeared from it. And the bra is gone. There was neither time nor desire to understand. In Antalya I went to OYSHO and bought a new one. But the girls and the hotel administration take note.
