We have stayed there before but not since new people took over. We did visit friends who were staying there in June and staff seemed very helpful - checked our booking for sept etc. Our friend is looking to come back in sept too! To be honest as long as you have a clean room to sleep, shower etc I dont really mind where we stay just as long as we get to stay in
Icmeler - its like a second home! Feel chilled as soon as we arrive - made so many good friends over the years.
Must admit though despite being a regular visitor not sure where the Effendi is located - have you stayed there before? Always looking for good recommendations!
