hi every one. got back home yesterday after 14 brill days in our little bit of heaven. so i have to wait till next year as ive no holidays left tut.ide like to thank Vince and ALL his brill staff for all there help and would definitely stay there next time thanks so much to them all.ALSO a big thank you to all the ICR staff where would we be with out you X. we spent many a great night at zazas and if you look on the pictures you will find all 20 of us. thank you again zaza. ps an i still on commission ha ha.14 days go so fast and now back with a bump. john i never got to play our game of pool maybe next year thanks mate your a star. on a disappointing note. i was in one restaurant with some dear Turkish friends none of the above. and watched while some English folks eat drank and made jolly. and when the bill came never even left the lads a tip not 1 lira VERY SAD.as they run round ragged for a low wage and rely on these tips. a few lira is not to ask is it.

It was a pleasure to be in your company Bill and look forward to the next meet up if I can get some time off from my waiters job

Bill sounds like you had a great time, oh well there's always next year

That really annoys me. Yeah you should not have to pay a tip, and if I get rubbish service I won't, but over the years i've been to Icmeler, i've never not left a tip even if it's only a couple of lira.

In fact the only time i've not tipped was in Marmaris becuase the food was rubbish and the service was worse. So no tip.

It also annoys me, when you see the Mafias, sat at the end of some of the bars, who take the money off the waiters. Do they get this back or do the Mafias keep it?
