Went to this hotel in 2023 and it was one of our best holidays so we booked to go back in2024, we asked for a pool view in block A and we got a road view with a cockeral making noise all night, the room were not cleaned for 6 days after complaining everyday it was finally cleaned on day , we had to ask for toilet rolls and towels on several occasions. The food was barely warm so we had to eat out majority of the time, the entertainment was poor and the staff at reception could barely speak English. I WONT BE GOING BACK

Not great, the staff were lovely though. I feel sad for them as they are all losing their jobs as the hotel has been sold to the Turkish government, apparently as college accommodation.
The food was very British, I guess I was expecting much more...I wouldn't recommend going through a travel agen or company like easyJet etc if you wanted an "authentic" experience.
By the end of our one week there, it felt like "groundhog day". Same music, all day, repeated entertainment with the same songs, same food, limited alcoholic selection.
I was glad to get away, felt sick of it all on the final day.
They never replenished our toilet paper apart from two days, so we had to go to reception to get some, which was not a problem, I'm not lazy but it shouldn't have been this way.
The staff also entered our room whilst we were at the pool one day, not to clean, but to take our balcony chairs so we came back to an empty space.
We were on our way to reception to ask why and bumped onto a near neighbour who said the same thing happened to them and weree told by staff that the place was being sold so they were taking things to sell (I actually saw them load it on a truck over the wall!).
All I can say, is that I was happy to have a bed until the end of my holiday, even though it was broken and wonky.
I commend the staff on their excellence and professionalism right up until the end. Cian (pronounced Yan) was lovely and always went the extra mile for us.

If you looking for a place to stay this is your stop. The entertainment for kids is fantastic the staff are absolutely gorgeous and the food is to die for. The hotel is tucked in Between some mountains which makes it private but the downside is it a 20 minute walk from Içmeler or a 5 minute bus trip I have been here multiple times and never left feeling disappointed

Stayed here in September and had a brilliant time. Our first time visiting Turkey but not our last. Rooms were large and spacious, cleaned daily, food was varied and plenty of choice available. A bus regularly left from front of hotel to icmeler, the people were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Entertainment was exactly what you would expect. A very good experience and will definitely be back next year.

Just got back from a 7 night stay at the Julian forest suites, as a family we absolutely loved it. Been going to turkey for many years and this was our first time all inclusive and it didn’t disappoint. The staff honestly can’t do enough for you and are helpful, there is no waiting for sun loungers as there are many around the various pools. We were getting to the pool for around 10am after breakfast and still enough loungers to out a towels on.
We travelled with our 2 boys ages 7, 9 and our daughter who has just turned 1, the variety of pools for all ages were amazing.
Entertainment was good although could be a on for abit longer. However Alex, jasmine and team are always doing there best.
15 lira each for a bus into icemeler town as hotel is quite a walk especially with children, or a taxi back will cost around 100-150 lira.
The bees were a pain but that does not reflect how good this hotel actually is.
Your holiday is what you make it and we had an amazing time and are definitely booking again for may for 2 weeks.
