Navy Hotel

I've stayed at the Navy Hotel every year from around 2015. Sometimes, when funds allowed, twice a year. I've always stayed in the new block - which i believe is 'B' block. The rooms are bright, with lots of wardrobe space and very comfortable beds. Bathrooms are adequate, the showers are a little on the small side - but then again i am on the larger side, so its a case of perspective. I've never encountered a problem with hot water - always been hot for me at any time of the day/evening. The fridge always works, and cools the essential bottle of water ;) Cleaners have always been every day when ive stayed, with new bedding & towels every couple of days at the most, sometimes (high season) every day. Balcony is wide enough for me to sit on and have a drink in the evenings after a shower - and dry my beach gear out overnight. Best views for me are in the rooms ending 6, 7, or 8 as they face in the opposite direction of the bar, onto the neighbouring property and gardens. There is a lift to all floors (in both buildings) which is always a blessing when i return to my room at night, shoes in hand and ready to flop. The Navy Garden bar is a lovely place to sit and just while the day away. Chairs & tables both dining type and comfy sofa type. With great staff who speak excellent English and are always ready to help with any issues you might have. Aykon & Ibo are there all day as well as through the night, and always check if you would like anything when they come around the pool to collect glasses etc. Yes, the prices tend to be a little higher here - but there IS a menu, so you can check before you order. Then you cant complain, can you? My tip - pay for your bar bill every evening. that way when you're sober in the morning you wont have regret .... (joke) The pool is really lovely - there are more sunbeds around now, which have all been upgraded, and there are also chairs with tables if you prefer that. Its a bonus too that the pool is walk-in, meaning no nasty 'diver' steps. There is also an area set just back from the pool if you prefer it a little quieter, with sofa type seating. All the staff i have met there - new and old - are truly lovely. The desk staff are great no matter what time of the day or night it is. The cleaners are polite, and always say hello when i see them. The breakfast staff are always there to help, and clear away your used plates etc efficiently. Breakfasts are your typical Turkish selection, fruits and salads, cheese, meats, olives. Also a selection of English accompaniments - beans, hard boiled eggs. Turkish menemen is lovely. They also have a separate omelet chef, who will do you any type of omelet you ask for, as well as fried and scrambled. Also loads and loads of fresh bread with a toaster and wide selection of jams and honey or chocolate spread. Tea and coffee is opposite the bread area, and there are also juices. Mr Menderez the owner is a lovely gentleman, who proved himself to be when, one year i couldn't get in at the Navy and stayed down the road at the Emilia. He found this out when my Dad told him, and said I should have gone to see him - that there would always be a room available - and invited me to have breakfast there with my family for the duration of my holiday FREE OF CHARGE. Not many hotels i can think of where that would happen. Location is AMAZING, literally 3 minutes in any direction to either the sea, the shops or the restaurants. And a taxi rank right outside if you are brave enough to be going to Marmaris and don't want to use the dolmus. All in all, I would fully recommend the Navy to anybody. I've travelled there with family and solo many times. I feel safe there - and there's a lot to be said for that as a solo traveler. One last thing - if you are fancying trips anywhere within driving distance, ask Mr Menderez - he will organise a minibus for you - very reasonably priced. Last year My Parents and two other couples went to Datca for the day, and the driver doubled as a guide for them as well. They said it was a lovely way to spend a day!

Just home from a wonderful stay at the Navy hotel Içmeler x we were bed and breakfast and the brekkie was so nice x tea, coffee,turkish tea, juice, boiled eggs, fresh bread, butter jam, honey ect and lots of turkish breakfast elements also a lovely lady who makes omelettes to order x our room was so nice with beautiful views over the mountains and the pool area was so clean and so lovely for a bit of rest and relaxation 😌 x the garden bar was lovely, serving a good drink and snack menu x thank you to each and every member of staff everyone was so lovely and so helpful x thanks Aykon Kaplan for bringing my coffee to the pool every morning ☺️ we had a lovely stay and hope to return very soon x ❤️🇹🇷. The hotel was a 5 minute walk from the beach and from the main centre of Icmeler. It has a very chilled out atmosphere and there were lots of guests who had been many times before which said a lot for the hotel. There are plenty of little shops around to buy water juice ect for the rooms. There are a few bars around the area as well but music seemed to stop around 12.30am. I am visually impaired and this was my first holiday abroad since my diagnosis and I must say I was treated with the upmost respect by every single staff member. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a lovely clean and comfortable 3 star hotel.

Room is basic but clean staff are amazing very friendly. Icon the bar manager is a breath of fresh air really nice guy can get a pint for about £3 in a proper glass... Having a great time.central location can't fault this hotel

We had an amazing time at the navy hotel,very clean fresh towels room cleaned everyday,staff lovely will definitely be back food amazing

I would give this hotel 5 stars for everything staff are great, hotel location is spot on the only thing wrong with it is the mangeress.. You have to argue EVERYTIME to get hotwater for a shower. They must turn it down or something, it takes calling the jet2 rep out to get it hot... We pay for the holiday.. you expect a clean room..( which is was) and a HOT SHOWER??

I honestly can’t praise this place enough. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming and genuinely well cared for. The whole setup is brilliant — having your own apartment with a private entrance and little patio makes it feel peaceful and personal, not like a typical hotel where you’re just walking down long corridors past endless doors. My apartment was warm, comfortable and beautifully done. The bed was genuinely comfortable with soft pillows (which makes such a difference), and I slept far better than I had been sleeping elsewhere. It felt like somewhere you can properly switch off and relax. The bathroom was a real highlight — the jacuzzi bath is absolutely amazing and honestly felt like pure luxury. It comes from all angles with lights, and it completely changed my mood and helped me unwind. After a stressful trip, that level of comfort is priceless. The thoughtful details here really stand out: the soft bathrobes, the little gift set and toiletries, the lighting in the room (not just one harsh bulb in the middle), and the overall cleanliness. Even small touches like the presentation and care make you feel looked after. The restaurant is also beautiful. The central fireplace creates such a cosy, relaxing atmosphere and the seating is extremely comfortable. The music is gorgeous too — it isn’t just background noise, it echoes gently through the restaurant and adds something special to the whole experience. The food quality is excellent. Everything I had was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. I also loved the display and layout of the food — the selection is impressive and you can immediately see the care that goes into it. The matured meats on display looked amazing and it all adds to the feeling that this is a place with real standards, not just “standard hotel food.” Most of all, the staff were lovely and helpful. You can tell this place is well managed and that people take pride in what they offer. It genuinely feels like a peaceful little escape, and it’s the kind of place you could happily stay for your whole trip and feel completely comfortable — especially if you’re travelling alone or prefer calm over chaos. I will definitely return and I would 100% recommend staying here. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Madeleine
