come out diva turn left then left again and 3rd or 4th right - you will probably find shorter routes when you arrive - 400 - 500 metres total

google map the hotel and you can see for yourself enjoy

Hiya!
Dont know anything about the Alara but I have stayed at the Diva and must warn you that the rooms are very very small! TINY! The hotel is in an excellent location though and of course has one of the best restaurants in Icmeler attached to it, The Chef. Also the Diva bar is an excellent bar to just sit, chill and relax with NO HASSLE! Have a fantastic hoiday.

Stayed at diva last July. Had a fantastic holiday due to location of hotel. It is right in centre of Icmeler, next to canal and about 2 mins to beach. The hotel rooms are tiny and dont have much space for clothes, furniture is rather old and rickety and shower room is more like a wet room with shower literally over toilet. The balcony is large and has 2 seats and a small table. The room we had was on first floor overlooking the pool. Cant remember the number but was a great room. The rooms dont have much electric sockets so maybe take a couple of double travel adapters.the room doesnt have a fridge. Bedding and towels are changed frequently and the pool area is really good. The pool doesnt have a shallow end or a childrens pool so be careful if you have children with you. You also get 10% off your food bill if using chef restaurant. Breakfast is typically Turkish i.e eggs, bread, salami, cheese, jam and honey, tomatoes, cucumber and tea or coffee.If you ask them they will make you a bit of toast. I bought bananas from supermarket across road and had toast and banana for brekkie sometimes as I got fed up with Turkish food. Sorry to ramble on but you did ask for an honest review. I am sure you will have a great time and look forward to reading your review. P.S Dont know anything about Alara Hotel. Sorry, Carol

We stayed in Alara for one night en route to somewhere else, and we were not very optimistic about it as we'd read some very poor reviews. We were pleasantly surprised to find it was very clean and comfortable, and although we arrived very late, the manager was waiting for us in Charlie's Place, which is right next door, and came running as soon as our minibus pulled up. We had a slight problem with breakfast. We ordered a tea with milk and black coffee (in turkish) and we both got some murky sludge which tasted vaguely of chocolate. The food never arrived, so we went next door to Charlie's and had a great breafast. Can't really give Alara a rating as we were only there 1 night, but it seemed fine, and the manager was very helpful.
It is right behind Charlie's Place, which is on the main road, a couple of hundred metres down from Tansas, on the opposite side. It isn't very far from Diva.
