Serviced apartment Ekinci Palace (Icmeler, Turkey)

The family-friendly facilities are a plus point for many guests visiting Ekinci, because there's plenty to keep the children content and busy, from the waterslide to supervised activities at the kids' club. It also means you'll have some quiet time to relax.

Guests enjoy the convenience of dining at the hotel and say that the food is generally of a good standard. An extra bonus is the free breakfast if you dine in, which keeps things simple and saves money, particularly if you're catering for the family.

The staff at this hotel are helpful and professional according to guests, who seem to know members of the front desk and management teams by name. There's always someone on hand to deal with questions and problems, while the housekeeping team does a great job of keeping the place clean.

Guests say that the rooms are pretty basic, and while fine for a cheap place to rest your head at night, don't go expecting any frills. Guests also warn that the attic rooms are very small and cramped, so it's worth requesting not to have one of these rooms when booking.

Some of the furnishings in the rooms, such as bed linen, are showing signs of wear and tear and could do with replacing, according to guests. Overall, you might find that the rooms could do with some general refurbishment to bring them up to date.

Extra charges are imposed for the air conditioning and other amenities, such as safes, according to guests. If you're visiting at the height of summer, then air con is probably one thing you won't want to be without, in which case, be prepared to shell out a bit extra.
