Well what can I say...hot hot and more hot.
What a lovely place. Just back on Sunday after 2 weeks in icmeler. We stayed at the pinewood apartment up the top of the main road from marmaris. None ICR but they were immaculate. Can not fault one small bit. Every square metre was brushed and hosed every night. Each sunbed was hand wiped clean. Big thanks to the staff, ken, fatiz and the others for their helpfulness, friendliness and all round personalities. Pool area brilliant. Overall 11 out of 10.

We ate at the wayside...wow nicest meal ever with the chicken casserole from Venice a close second. Also ate at Bamboo, coco beach, majestics. All reasonable priced with the wayside the most expensive for 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals, several drinks and a birthday browny cake coming in at 130 lira. Around £50 but worth it. We stayed more local second week and went to deja vu, cubanna, robin hood and sidiks family restaurant. All above average. The bars away from the front are much cheaper.

There was so much choice and due to the heat getting to our 5 year old we missed so much. Never went in the tandoori sizzler as 3 times in the first week he fell asleep at the table either before food was served or during it. Hence the reason we stayed local as he just would not walk in the heat.

Trips included the jeep safari....brilliant, water park, mud baths and kleopatra island. All great but was disappointed in the latter. The trip itself was fine but the beach was tiny and was roped off. U could only go in the water and the beds off the beach were somewhat dilapidated and run down. All trips booked through Icr.

Part 2 to follow
