Aqua Hotel

Set back from the promenade, Aqua Hotel Hotel is a modern hotel in Icmeler, on Turkey's Aegean Coast. It's steps from sandy Icmeler Beach, which has clear waters for swimming. The building is set in gardens with flat lawns surrounded by flowers and leafy plants. It has views along the rocky coastline and out to sea. At the centre of the gardens is the pool area, set amidst palm trees and looking down to the beach. You can pick up holiday essentials at the hotel's mini market or walk into the resort centre, where you'll find souvenir shops and a supermarket. You can visit the spa, where you'll find a heated indoor pool, a traditional Turkish bath and a sauna. If you're feeling energetic, you can play basketball or tennis on the hotel courts. There's an outdoor swimming pool suitable for all the family, plus a shallower pool for kids. There's a choice of bars and a variety of dining choices, with four restaurants offering local and international cuisine throughout the day. Children can attend the kids' club or dance at the kids' disco. In the evening, there's entertainment at the hotel to keep the whole family amused. It's a short walk to the selection of bars, restaurants and cafés found in Icmeler.

Aqua Hotel sits next to the crescent shaped Icmeler Beach, which has a sandy shoreline lined with eucalyptus and palm trees. It's 200m from the resort centre, where you'll be able to taste local specialties or sip raki, the national drink, at a waterfront bar. It's 7km by car to Marmaris, or you can get there by boat. This port city has a yacht-lined marina, a sandy beach and a historic Old Town. You can visit the Grand Bazaar to haggle with stallholders offering local goods, including saffron, Turkish delight and handmade jewellery. Ferries leave Marmaris for UNESCO-protected Rhodes Town, with its narrow alleys, cobbled streets and boutiques.

At Aqua Hotel, you can eat at the buffet restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You'll also have the option of dining at the three ala carte restaurants, which serve seafood, Italian dishes and Turkish specialties. You can enjoy drinks and snacks served in the hotel's four bars.

You can work out at the gym or have a dip in the indoor pool. There's a separate indoor pool for kids to enjoy.
