Abacus Park is ok - Ronnie Kennedy and 2 children. Date of travel: Oct 2007
The actual Abacus Hotel is grand but the rooms are basic sleeping areas, the food is mostly Turkish themed, tasty with a reasonable choice although sometimes not as warm as I'm used to back home. The entertainment is the usual, pool games during the day and at night is good with bingo every night (not for me) then Karaoke or Turkish belly dancing with Turkish and middle eastern ladies who are gorgeous and very good at what they do. On Wednesdays there is the local market where bargains can be had through haggling but beware of cheap imitations as Turkey has no copyright laws so everything can be copied. Also children are pressured to buy products so if you take them to the market don't allow them to wander to far or you will find them with many braclets on and being talked into spending thier money. Away from the market the Turkish people are very warm and hospitable people and very easy to talk to and get along with and if you learn a few basic sentances i.e hello, goodbye, thank you, ect, they are very receptive. There are loads of bars and restaurants with Sky TV for the football fans. Overall we had a good holiday and experience. If you do visit I would encourage you to take the 45 minute catamaran trip to Rhodes. That island was beautiful and there were many bargains to be had. Would I return to Turkey again? Yes. I hope my review helps you to decide if Turkey, and further, if Icmeler is a holiday spot for you.

Basic but fine - Lynne Humphreys. Date of travel: Oct 2007
The Abacus Park Icmeler is in an excellent position, the hotel is basic but clean, the staff very helpful and friendly. There are 3 Hotels are in the chain and any of them can be used, the Metropole being the most popular. The food was well cooked but Chicken Caserolle and Meat Balls were served almost every day...boring. I would not go all-inclusive again as the food is better and cheaper in the restaurants in Icmeler.
