Just back from a 12 days holiday at Elite World in Icmeler. And this was nr 3. The hotel, which is an adult only start to shown the need of an upgrade, from the rooms to the swimming pool and from the gym to the dinning area. That being said, is still worth it due to the staff that make you feel welcomed and appreciate it as a customer. The rooms definitely needs an upgrade as start to show the age. We staid in room 5014 which is on the 5th floor at the end of the corridor. It is a deluxe room(just by name as everything is basic) with a sea view .The first 3 pics are from when we enter into the room. Although the issues were sort it out, this is not what you expect to see from a 4 stars hotel, deluxe room. The all inclusive package that we had was not worth it the money as the food was not very diverse.The pool bar was this time limited to some cocktails and drinks that they weren't make properly all the time(we have been lucky to have Yousuf (probably the spelling is wrong but it is a 5'5, curly hair, turkish guy) every now and then who was doing proper basic drinks like mojito, gin tonic, vodka tonic. We tried a Long Island Ice Tea which was made by what I assume was a bartender, from 3 ingredients😱. The snack bar that we used just a couple of time was not good. The pizza that we tried was soggy 🤮but the fries were fine. Same for the burger. Basic drinks that has to be drank fast as their was served in paper cups and because of that they become soft to the point that you couldn't keep them in your hand. The entertainment at the snack bar was made by an old pool table and a ping-pong table. The gym is so outdated and small with limited machines and weights. The spa had an update with plenty to choose from and this time at a very competitive prices(this year). Bariş is the spa guy, brilliant and very helpful.Also Elena, from the spa reception deserved a big THANK YOU.😁.And if you want a tattoo, Taner is your guy to speak with as he will take you to a hotel nearby where a tattoo/hairdresser studio is available and definitely deserve a visit. But the bigest THANK YOU goes to Sabo, the hotel advisor that we know him for our first visit in 2023. This guy goes above and beyond to every customer so the hotel is lucky to have him. Also a big THANK YOU to Beca(hopefully the name is right) which is the other hotel advisor for stepping in when we felt ill due to some stomach bug that we caught.And those people are just the ones that we directely interact with. Plus, the housekeepers who were very helpful too😊 In terms of activities in Icmeler/Marmaris, there are plenty to chose from but not all of them are good. Plus, the prices on some of them are just mind blowing ,ex: jetski: 1h-€220 or private horse riding at €240😱 And just for anyone who doesn't know yet, on many activities they don't allow you to take your phone or your camera with you for "safety reasons" but the real reason is that they take pictures and try to sell them to you at astronomic prices(one example is the horse riding that sell photos at £50 for single person or £80 for two people). And with this type of approach, you won't be able to show any gd things or bad things that you may see during an activity, which make it impossible to provide a proper review. Overall, still a good experience but as with anything else, you do need to do your research...
This is a lovely hotel. It’s relatively small which makes it more personal. The staff for the most part were very helpful (just one lady on reception who was a little grumpy but it didn’t spoil things). The food was really good with lots of choice. The chocolate dessert was to die for!
The spa however was the highlight for me. It was just amazing. The Turkish bath was so luxurious and relaxing, the staff were so friendly and thoughtful about my treatments and it was very well managed. Big shout out to Devi & Baris who looked after me so well.
If you choose to stay here, my only suggestion would be to ask for a room that doesn’t overlook the Shake Bar unless you’re ok with loud music will 12:30 at night. We moved rooms in the end and it was a lot easier to sleep.
I would definitely go back and highly recommend this hotel experience. You don’t need to leave if you don’t want to. And Prosecco at the poolside every evening after dinner was a great way to end every day!

We will definitely be returning and will be highly recommending this hotel to family and friends. From our experience this hotel is a 5 star plus. James and Tracy
I don’t usually write reviews, but my stay at Elite World Marmaris compelled me to sing the praises of the wonderful staff who made my birthday trip so comfortable and memorable.
Guest Relations – Beyza Beyza, the Guest Relations Officer, went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable stay. She was extremely patient and always took the time to answer our questions and assist with any requests we had. No question was ever made to feel silly, and she was always willing to help. She was helpful, polite, friendly and professional throughout our stay.
Housekeeping – Nergiz The room service and housekeeping provided by Nergiz were excellent. Every day, she greeted us with a warm smile and ensured that we had fresh towels and bottled water. She even arranged a lovely birthday bedding setup for me, which I truly appreciated. Despite the language barrier, she made a real effort every day to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
Food & Restaurant Service Food is an essential factor for me when choosing a hotel, and I was very impressed with the variety available. There was a great selection of food every day, including fresh fruit and sweet treats, so we were truly spoilt for choice. The outdoor snack bar, with its ice lollies, was a great addition, and the slush machine by the pool was fantastic.
I can confidently say that Bilal, the Head Breakfast Chef, did not disappoint. Despite the language barrier, he always provided service with a smile and was clearly passionate about ensuring guests were happy.
Ozay, one of the waiters, was also extremely helpful. He consistently made sure we were hydrated and comfortable throughout every meal we had at the hotel.
The only negative I would mention is that the baked beans were quite hard. We tried them on two separate days but unfortunately decided not to have them again. Aside from that, the variety and quality of the food, particularly the salad, fruit and cake selection, were excellent.
Excursions & Transfers – Sebahattin On our first full day, we wanted to go go-karting, and Sebahattin, the Excursion Officer, arranged everything promptly and at an affordable price. He acted as the middleman between us and the vendors and did an incredible job explaining the process. He also arranged our pick up and drop off from the hotel, taking all the stress out of the experience.
Sebahattin was equally helpful when arranging our transfer from the hotel to the airport on our departure date. His professionalism and efficiency were greatly appreciated.
Spa – Lena, Devi & Wiwik One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the spa. Lena, the Spa Manager, carefully and patiently explained the various treatments available and helped us book an amazing massage. She was incredibly polite, professional and a real asset to the team.
The massages were carried out by Devi and Wiwik, who were both extremely polite, professional and talented. The treatment and customer service were genuinely 10/10, and I left feeling completely relaxed.
Overall Experience Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at Elite World Marmaris. While there were a few minor things that could be improved, the wonderful staff truly made our stay special. I would like to personally thank Beyza, Nergiz, Bilal, Ozay, Sebahattin, Lena, Devi and Wiwik for their kindness, professionalism and genuine efforts to make our birthday trip memorable.
Thank you to the entire team for making our stay such a lovely experience. I would happily return.
