Idas Hotel

These two hotels are sister hotels and are literally across the road from each other which is great.

We stayed in the Idas Hotel which at the moment is an adults only (16+) hotel. The Idas Hotel seems to be smaller than the club which is expected as the club is a family hotel.

Firstly the Idas Hotel (16+). The Idas rooms were lovely and modern, they were clean and had a fridge in the room, which was great as it was very hot when we went so we were able to keep water in the fridge. Whilst the bathroom is lovely, the lighting is a bit dull and where our shower was it was quite dark in the shower. The waterfall setting on the shower became more and more difficult throughout the week to the point the where on the last night I just showered using the hand held head. It would constantly go off and switch to the tap (also confused as to why there is a tap in the shower). Other than that the bathroom did the job. Just be aware, when we were in our bathroom and the people next door were in theirs we could hear their conversation clearly and word for word, not sure if that’s something to do with the ceilings but it was odd.

The mattress on the beds are solid, they are extremely firm and if you want extra pillows you need to ask at reception and they will sort it for you. The air on in the room was fantastic to be fair. I have been on some holidays recently (some of them 4&5 star) and the air con at this hotel easily knocks the other ls out the park. It cooled the room very quickly and remote was really easy to use. This was an absolute god send with the heat. The WiFi however, was shocking. It was constantly on and off, would barely load anything. If you’re coming here I would massively recommend looking into an eSIM (you have to get this before you get to turkey) or adding onto your current phone plan.

The pool at the Idas hotel was very very chilled. There is no atmosphere or music around the pool so if this is what you like it is perfect. We however, do like a bit of music or atmosphere and this is where the access to the sister hotel, the Idas Club, worked for us.

The Idas Club has a large family pool with a water slide and an adults only pool. The adults only pool is beautiful! Such a lovely place to sit. The pool is beautiful and has some sunbeds situated in the water so your body is out the water and you can dip your feet in. We loved this pool for a chilled afternoon and Paul who mans the bar is lovely. Always happy to help and assist you. There is also some chilled music playing which gave the pool some ambiance and was just lovely and relaxing. This is also where the Garden Bar is located where they play all the football games for anyone who wants to watch, we are not football fans but sat in the garden bar one evening when the premier league was on and it was still as lovely as it is in the day.

The family pool at the Idas Club has more of your loud music playing around the pool, this is also where you will find the entertainment team - Lucky, Jimmy, Sophia and Ozzy. The entertainment team were very inventive with their lunch time pool games and always had us laughing. Lucky loves a good dance to some fantastic songs - I won’t ruin the surprise for you. Jimmy and Ozzy were lovely to chat to. They were helpful and we had lots of good conversations with them about Turkey and they were interested in the UK and how things differ. They both have a sense of humour and you will regularly find them making jokes and entertaining everyone round the pool. Sophia was always welcoming and had a great rapport with a lot of the younger children.

We tried both the restaurant in Idas Hotel and Idas Club. They both appear to serve the same food as each other every night and we think it’s likely all cooked in the same kitchen then distributed between the two hotels. This was no issue as the food was good. Every night both hotels had some kind of meat cooking on a grill by the chef and this was always so nice! The only night we noticed it was different was on Turkish night they had a chicken kebab cooking in Idas Club which they didn’t in Idas Hotel. This night we ate in the Club and it was amazing. I would recommend going over there for this, if it’s something you like.

The all inclusive was exactly what you would expect and we always found food to eat as well as the usual selection of drinks. Bar staff were always friendly and helpful.

Overall we were happy with Idas Hotel but we spent most of our holiday at the sister hotel, due to the entertainment team and the atmosphere. If you’re looking for a week in the sun with a great location in Icmeler then this hotel is perfect! The hotel is just off one of the main roads into town so really easy for an evening walk or shopping.

Everything perfect staff amazing so Frendily 100% will be back Food is amazing In 10 years coming by far the best hotel and entertainment iv been in jimmy and Ozzy have made our full holiday amazing. Strongly advise to book and come Not just entertainment but friendships forever🤍
