Overview

 
Sitting just a few steps from Icmeler’s curving bay, L’Etoile Hotel combines a prime beachfront setting with wallet-friendly All Inclusive and plenty of facilities for all ages. Two outdoor pools, a small spa with Turkish bath, sports courts and a choice of restaurants mean you can do as much – or as little – as you like, while the resort centre is only a short stroll away along the promenade.

With the beach just across the promenade and Icmeler’s bars and boutiques around the corner, L’Etoile Hotel is all about easy holiday living. Spend the day by the pool, wander to the sand-and-shingle shore for a dip in the Aegean, then head back for sunset drinks and an evening buffet – all wrapped into a simple All Inclusive plan. For couples and families seeking Turkey’s Turquoise Coast charm without the Marmaris nightlife buzz, L’Etoile Hotel delivers that sweet-spot balance of convenience and value. The beach is just 100m away, Icmeler resort centre only 200m, and Dalaman Airport around 2 hours 30 minutes by road. See more Turkey holidays.

Map & location


Icmeler, Dalaman Area, Turkey

Icmeler is Marmaris’ more laid-back neighbour – a scenic bay framed by pine-cloaked hills, a long traffic-free promenade and a compact centre of cafés, markets and low-key bars. L’Etoile Hotel sits just behind the beachfront, so you’re moments from the sand and the waterfront walkway, yet still close enough to wander into the old village area for a more local feel.

Head along the coast by dolmuş (local minibus) to explore Marmaris’ harbour and bazaar, or stay closer to home and stroll the canal paths, haggle at the weekly market or join a boat trip out on the bay.

  • • Dalaman Airport (DLM) 95km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours 30 minutes

Food & drink

All Inclusive here centres on relaxed, international-meets-Turkish flavours and plenty of chances to graze between dips in the pool.

Naz Restaurant (Main buffet)
The main buffet restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with international dishes, Turkish favourites and live show-cooking at peak times. Expect salads, grills, hot mains, desserts and fresh fruit. The hotel usually asks that beachwear isn’t worn at dinner.

Pier 15 Restaurant (À la carte, by the beach)
An à la carte venue right by the seafront, Pier 15 offers international and Turkish cuisine with an elevated setting. It normally opens from spring to autumn depending on occupancy, and reservations plus supplements may apply depending on your board.

Snack Restaurant
A casual buffet on the terrace offering light bites and snacks during the day – handy for keeping little ones fed between main meals.

Pool Bar
The pool bar pours local alcoholic and soft drinks throughout the day and into the evening (typically 10:00–00:00 during the main season), so you’re never far from a cold drink or coffee.

All Inclusive includes buffet meals, snacks at selected times and a range of local drinks served for at least 12 hours per day. Discounts are usually offered at the à la carte restaurant. Exact opening dates, times and inclusions can vary by season and occupancy. What All Inclusive typically includes.

FAQs
Is L’Etoile Hotel on the beachfront?

Is L’Etoile Hotel suitable for families with children?
Yes. The hotel is particularly convenient for families, with a children’s pool, small playground, family rooms, double rooms with bunk beds, and an All Inclusive set-up that makes mealtimes simpler. Daytime activities, mini-disco and early-evening entertainment are usually available in the main summer season.
What does All Inclusive include at L’Etoile Hotel?
The All Inclusive package generally covers buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, snacks at set times between meals, and local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks served for a minimum of 12 hours a day. Guests also typically receive a discount at the à la carte restaurant. Exact brands, times and venues can change seasonally, so always check the latest details on arrival.
Is there a dress code for the restaurants?
A relaxed but smart dress code usually applies in the restaurants, especially at dinner and in the à la carte venue. Beachwear and wet swimwear are not generally permitted inside the dining areas. Gentlemen may be asked to wear long trousers or smart shorts in the evening.
Does L’Etoile Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Free Wi-Fi is usually available in the communal areas such as the lobby and bar. Coverage in the rooms can vary and speeds can be slower at busier times of day. If strong in-room Wi-Fi is essential, it’s worth checking for any optional upgrades locally.
Is there a spa and Turkish bath at the hotel?

How far is L’Etoile Hotel from Marmaris?
