Marti la Perla - Adult Only+16

if your thinking of going to this hotel my advice is save your money, the food was just about edible the entertainment non existing the rooms could have been cleaner the hotel manager was constantly playing games on his phone doing no management at all the only good thing is the location was perfect shame about the hotel

We stayed here for our anniversary in September which should be an enjoyable experience but certainly not in our case. On arrival we were ignored for 15 minutes with the manager then shouting at the staff. We were not given any information about the hotel after getting checked in. To say we were horrified at the sub standard room we had been given is an understatement and we decided not to unpack ans see our rep the next morning. After a sleepless night due to the noise from the hotel next door to get up to no electricity and having to shower in the dark and then falling on the flooded bathroom floor we spoke to the rep who did get us moved rooms. This room was no better than the first room. The room was also in a terrible state and we asked to move hotels but unfortunately there was no availability. We were complaining on a daily basis as there was nothing good to say about this hotel. Every day there were queues of guests to see the rep Sandra whi to fair did try and get issues resolved. The food was so bad that we ate out every day. The food was cold and had no flavour at all. We found the staff generally unhelpful especially the customer relations who were either online shopping or sat outside smoking with the manager. Rooms did not get cleaned which was the general consensus to every guest we spoke to. The pictures on the Jet2 website were nothing like real life and the place needs a total gutting out and deep clean. The hotel itself states the hotel is luxury and peaceful but it certainly is not. This has put us off ever returning to Turkey where we have previously enjoyed holidays.

Just returned from a 10 night stay at La Perla. This was our first time in Icmeler and we wasn't disappointed. Before we went we read the reviews and must admit was very apprehensive with all the negative comments, we needn't have been. The main complaints seem to be The food and cleanliness and some issues around staff. First of all The food, this seems to be a classic complaint on all reviews regardless where people go for their holidays. You're not going to get what you get at home. If that's what you want then don't go All Inclusive, you can get a full English breakfast and chicken and chips etc. just up the road. I'm a fussy eater and never went hungry all the time we were there so well done to the catering staff. Next the cleanliness of the hotel. Yes it could be better. Our room was on 4th floor with mountain view. The cleaner came in our room everyday, made beds, changed towels, cleaned bathroom, replaced toilet rolls. Didn't expect anything more. Any complaints should be made to management asap not wait till you get home and complain in a review..Yes some do but some dont. In my opinion each floor should have so many rooms checked everyday by the supervisor. The cleaners by the pool and on the beach never stop keeping things neat and tidy. Now the staff...Restaurant staff, bar staff very welcoming and friendly. As it was end of season The animation team didn't have anything to do so appeared to just walk about. Also the music they played in the evenings was of their own taste and not that of the guests. During our stay the average age group was around 55 so the music wasn't suitable and guests got up and left. The hotel, like many others, has pros and cons. We chose this hotel for its location and it being "Adult Only". The hotel itself does need upgrading and hopefully this can be done in closed season ready for 2025. Will we stay there again...DEFINITELY..Already been looking to book but as of yet Jet 2 are in the midst of signing their contracts..

We have been back home for a few days and I have had time to reflect on our trip. As always I will be as honest as I possibly can. The hotel was quite small, but for its size the dining area didn't seem big enough for the guests staying there. We were there in October, I would hate seeing this hotel at peak season. I never really found it a problem to find something to eat, but I can see what other guests are saying and agree with them to a point. The rooms were ok and if you try the TV don't bother, you don't get many channels that are in English so don't bother.I do agree the hotel needs a bit of a refurbishment,but I am not one to take photos of bad paintwork and other jobs that need doing.A good pool area with plenty of sunbeds, sadly people getting up at stupid times to reserve but do not show up all-day( crazy really). There was one bar sometimes only manned by one person, again no problem for the time of year, but it was still busy. The entertainment team did not exist, at my age, I don't need entertaining but when you have two boys connecting a laptop to a speaker and getting off, and the music being on a loop of about 40 minutes you do listen to the same songs 3-4 times before it changes.DJ nights were worse they just played whatever they wanted and loud, as they were competing with rival hotels, which I thought was pretty lazy. They had a couple of acts the best being an extreme dance group. The location was one of the best parts of the hotel and the maids kept our room tidy. The guy behind the bar in the dining room was so pleasant (IFRAM) you were such a nice guy to meet, and seeing your drawings, a talented one as well.Sebastian on the ground crew was also so pleasant whenever we stopped and talked. Would I go back...I don't know . My experience wasn't a horror story but it could have been much better.
