Mirage World Hotel

Roch H

We stayed at the Mirage World Hotel in Icmeler from early morning Thursday, October 23rd, to Monday, October 27th, on an all-inclusive basis. Our experience was a bit of a mixed bag, with some notable highlights and a few frustrating low points. Our very early arrival at 4:30 am didn't set a welcoming tone. The check-in was swift but lacked the personal touch of other hotels; we were simply told where our room was located, in a separate building, without any assistance. The absence of an escort to our room was unexpected. The worst part of our first day was the wristband mix-up. The male worker who greeted us failed to provide them, leading to an embarrassing and uncomfortable experience when trying to get lunch at the restaurant. This oversight significantly soured our first day. The room was basic but clean, which was fine for our needs. However, the lack of proper bedding was a major issue. It gets genuinely cold at night, and the single, thin blanket provided was barely adequate. More substantial covers are definitely needed for comfortable sleep during the cooler months. We did appreciate the availability of the cleaning staff for essentials like toilet paper. The hotel boasts four pools, including one with slides which my children enjoyed. We spent most of our time by the pool with the music and snack bar, where we enjoyed the burgers, salads, and fries. The pool near reception, despite having a bar, had no sun exposure, making it essentially unusable for sunbathing. The main bar in our pool area, however, looked very dreary. The all-inclusive food was generally fine, offering similar options daily with a good range of salads and puddings. We particularly enjoyed the rice dishes and the pide/pizza options. A major drawback was the meat—they rely heavily on turkey and consistently overcook it to the point of being extremely dry. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, with nice omelettes and pastries. The all-inclusive drinks were poor, with the cocktail menu consisting mostly of limited gin-based options. Thankfully, my adult children and I are not big drinkers, so this wasn't a deal-breaker. This was a noticeably mixed experience. The male workers in the main restaurant were all polite and worked very hard. However, we found that most of the female staff, including the lady at the pool bar, were unapproachable, rude, or generally lacked manners and seemed unhappy in their roles. The entertainment crew, on the other hand, were a fantastic highlight—they were very engaging and friendly. I appreciated the hotel's policy allowing the cats to roam, and we enjoyed constantly feeding them. The staff in general seemed to work long, hard hours. The foam party put on by the entertainment team was the highlight of our stay, though the karaoke was a letdown. The location is great, with just a short walk to the beach. The beach sand is gritty, not ideal for photos, but there were plenty of sunbeds. The local area has a good selection of shops and restaurants, making it a lovely place to explore. While the location, friendly male staff, hard-working entertainment team, and clean, basic rooms were positives, the poor initial welcome, uncomfortable bedding, poor all-inclusive drinks, and the general unfriendliness of some female staff would make me hesitant to recommend this specific hotel. As I enjoy trying new places, I wouldn't return, but I loved the Icmeler area itself.

After 10 days at mirage world, tbh I’m glad to be going home, no the hotel was not awful however definitely not a 4 star hotel, on my first night we arrived at 10pm. The room I had been allocated was not what I had booked. It was absolutely horrendous, wall lights hanging off the wall, dirty bathroom with cracked tiles, dirty fridge and wall filler slapped on the walls that hadn’t even been sanded or painted. I had to stay with another couple in there room on the first night. I was then changed to another room in block c which was better. A very basic room but it was clean, had working air con and a balcony. The food here is not great. If you’re a picky eater you will soon get bored off living on chicken nuggets and chips. Things like boiled turkey and boiled veg were absolufelt horrific and the food was very repetitive so was very limited. The drinks were also very limited, with only vodka, gin and whiskey, and the juice is horrific. One thing I can’t fault was the evening entertainment, really engaging and had a good variety of shows and options throughout the time we were here. The pool was absolutely freezing however I can imagine in the peak of summer it would be much better. Overall no I personally wouldn’t stay here again, however it was not a horrendous holiday, I would rate maybe a 4-5 out of 10

Never again will I book this hotel mirageworld icmeler.room never cleaned ashtray left on balcony for another guest who stayed before we got there .balcony door don't lock curtains falling off rails main door can be opened from outside without using the card as the look is to far away from doorframe. Bedding never changed even though it states ever 3 days..mold spots on mattress as I pulled them off to make sure it was changed for next guest.

Would definitely recommend this hotel! Without a doubt we’ve come families and adults and there’s always something for everyone.

Mirage World was an amazing hotel! We upgraded to a deluxe room which are in D Block before our arrival, and I’d definitely recommend doing so. Family members staying at the same time were in C Block in the standard rooms, which could use a bit of updating but were still fine. The food was typical all-inclusive. well-cooked and with plenty of variety, though it might get repetitive if you dine in every night. Still, you’d never go hungry with so many options available. Our room was cleaned daily, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The pools were fantastic, with plenty of sunbeds available during our June stay. However, I imagine it might be more challenging to find a spot during peak season in July and August. Entertainment was okay, nothing extraordinary, but there was something different every night. We particularly enjoyed the foam party and the dance shows. A great bonus is the 24/7 on-site shop, which is super convenient. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel!
