Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Does anyone know whats happening to the Efes Hotel Friends are trying to book but know one is taking bookings.

the season gone the efes inn pulled the plug on all agencies that had a contract with them just before the season started and used just one agency I think but even they had to relocate people in any place they could find at last minute when I believe the hotel took their own bookings.

Maybe everyone has decided to leave this place alone because of that, maybe they have gone to a foreign agency or maybe they have gone under and new people are taking over.

we have good friends at the efes,i spoke to one of the lads this week who lives in diyabarkir he has told me that he will be returning to icmeler but maybe not the efes.There was talk last jun when we were there that the efes were struggling financially.We have stayed at the efes over 20 times and will be sad not to see the staff and also the nice people we have met over the years

The hotel was telling people in October it was going All Inc next year, don't know how tru it was though

stayed at the efes in sept we heard it was being sold and renovaterd by the new owner. the staff was not sure if it will be open in 2011.

whilst in Icmeler in august and talking to the guys in the Efes inn hotel . was informed that the hotel had been sold to turkish owners who already had hotels in Istanbul and they were uncertain of their future there but from what I gather it would seem that the new owners were wanting to spend money on it which would fit in with what other people are saying about not taking bookings for 2011. not sure if this helps or not but having stayed there a few times would have to agree that it needs a cash injection and because of its prime position that can only be a good thing in my opinion .As for the great staff that worked there i am sure other job opportunities will arrive in time for 2011.
