Fortuna Beach Hotel

this is a average hotel.
no air conditioning, only a small vent in the wall which only works from 11pm to 7am.
the hotel bar shots at 11pm.
the hotel is clean and it was nice to see the pool been checked for chlorine levels at night.

Had a lovely time at this hotel. Food was adequate and varied. Hotel itself was very nice but the thing that makes me want to go back to this particular hotel is that it is central to all your needs. The Taxi Boat, a dolmus, shops, restaurants, the beach etc everything is to hand and only a short distance away. Rooms cleaned daily. The staff work so so hard and should be commended. They are a credit to the hotel. Due to the experience we had this time around we are happy to be hopefully going back in September or October for another week's holiday.
Well done to the Fortuna Hotel cant understand why people previously have given a low score unless it is under new management and improved. Chef works hard to supply all sorts of meals cold and hot something to cater for all tastes. Lovely places to eat out and I especially recommend the Love Boat for a lovely culinary experience.
Cant wait to get back later this year. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone

I have never written a hotel review before but due the bad press given to the Fortuna Beach in previous reviews I felt it only fair to let you hear my comments. I stayed at the Fortuna Beach with my husband & 24 others who joined us on our honeymoon (we were 20 adults & 6 children)! We weren't expecting a lot from the hotel especially in the food department but I must say we were all pleasantly surprised. The food wasn't fantastic but was varied & always edible there wasn't a mealtime that any of us walked away from the table hungry. The staff were very helpful, especially the reception staff. The rooms were cleaned daily with clean towels provided every day. I would definitely stay at the Fortuna Beach again as would the rest of the people in our party. Must say if you go to Icmeler visit Ali at the Amalia Bar, opposite the Blue Rainbow Hotel, & Morat at the Mister Chef in the old town area, you’ll get the best of welcomes & the food is fab!

Really had a fantastic time in this Hotel .The staff were fantastic and really friendly,The rooms were cleaned daily including clean towels.The meals were average ,needed more choice in the meat department but the food was edible.The pool area is nice to relax in, also a bar area so you can get your drinks. .The beach is just two minutes away from the hotel.I shall be going back to icmeler again as i have been twice before and i would be more that willing to stay at the fortuna beach hotel again.

Well before i start i would like to add that i have been to Turkey many times with my husband and my two young daughters. All our visits to turkey have been pleasent and have been fun answell as exiting.
Icmeler is a lovely place to stay with breath taking views and scenery. You cannot complain about the weather! Every day was boiling hot and we enjoyed it as we can not say the weather in England is very appealing at the moment!
The people are very friendly especialy male Turks! Almost too friendly towards young girls - My daughter (14) found the men were always staring and eyeing her up and she found the stay uncomfortable because of this. My husband and i had also noticed this and kept an eye on our daughters! i advise you to do the same if you have children as the turks can get extremely close and too friendly.
The Hotlel!
We found the hotel was okay, but we wouldn't say it was a 4 star, 3 star maybe with a push! It was clean and the rooms were cleaned and tidy every day very well! The air conditioning didnt work in out room and we had to purchase a fan which kept the room cool enough to sleep through the night!
The food i wasnt overly keen on, as it was much repeated all the time (everyday!) Chicken, rice and chips was our diet for two weeks and it got boring after a few days.
Deserts were not exiting. Mostly melon and biscuits.
Pool area was tiny and in the shade! There were only a few sun loungers. I would say ten in an 200 room hotel. Most of the staff spoke little english and the receptionist needs to have some english lessons! Quite poor!
Rep very good and visited alot!
Overall fortuna beach is not the best of places to stay!

This was our 6th time to Icmeler, Turkey. We have stayed in all inclusive hotels every time.
We usually go to Turkey in July as it’s the hottest season of the year and lovely weather!
We didn’t find this hotel as good as others!
This hotel was also all inclusive, but food not very good! Always the same food. If the chicken hadn't been eaten Monday it was sure to be used Tuesday either in the soup or in something else. Not nice food either!
Wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all!
Watch out for young girls as my 13 year old was always being eyed up by Turks who are like in their 30's. Watch out for that!
Don’t go here!

I went for a week with my friend as our first holiday away together.
We were originally staying in the Alinda hotel, and as we arrived there we were told that it was closed down and they were moving us to Fortuna beach which was rated apparently as a four star, I would not give it that higher rating it was pushing a 3.
When we arrived the hotel didn’t look very nice from first experiences but I wasn’t going to judge anything by that. Inside the hotel looked very clean and nice. We got into our room and it seemed okay just for us to sleep in and get ready to go out.
The pool was tiny and in the shade so that wasn’t appealing to stay around.
The food was the worst, it was the same every night and it was not at all appealing it was an effort to eat over there, so most of our money was wasted on eating out.
I wouldn’t go back to the hotel again. The food was re-heated and was used the next night. No great variety of food.

The hotel overall was quite nice, although we got moved hotels and were not told, the rooms were always clean and the staff were always polite.
The problem was... the food. We had the same food everyday for a week, both lunch and dinner, it looked as if it had been reheated and quite a few people complained.
In the end we spent more money as we had to eat out nearly every night as the food was always the same and didn’t taste very nice.
I have been to Icmeler 8 times and love the place but have never been to a hotel where the food was the same every night.
All the people who I have spoken to in the hotel were complaining but nothing was done about it, I know it’s the end of the season but that doesn’t make a difference.
It won’t stop me coming to Icmeler as I love the place but I won’t go back to the same hotel.

The wife and I stayed at Fortuna Beach Hotel for 2 weeks 3rd Aug to 16th Aug 2007. This hotel is rated 4 star - I'd give it 3 with a push, we went A/I.
The local drinks on A/I include raki, gin, vodka, beer. If you wanted anything else ie whisky, Bacardi, Baileys etc you had to pay. Ice cream for the kids you also have to pay for.
The meals were almost repeated daily. Dinner, lunch, consisted of rice, chicken, meatballs, chips and fish. Breakfast consisted of boiled eggs omelets fried eggy bread.
The rooms were ok if the air conditioning was working. I was told by reception that the air conditioning came on 3 times a day 7.30am - 9.30am, 5.30pm-7.30pm and again 11pm-2.30am if like me and others thought if you kept it switched on it would run continuously it does but only blowing warm air outside these times. A few couples we met had to go out and purchase electric fans to keep the rooms cool.
The bar closes every night at 11pm. I went bar one night at 5 mins passed 11 and was told bar had closed if i wanted another drink to go out for it.
The wife and I loved Turkey, the people were very friendly, weather fantastic but staying at Fortuna Beach again I don't think so. I must add the hotel staff were GREAT.
