Blue Rainbow Hotel

1 reader found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a week half board in the Blue Rainbow.
The Hotel is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly enough.
The rooms are very basic and the bathrooms are tiny, the toilet is almost in the shower!
Although we stayed half board, we only used the restaurant twice as my girlfriend didn’t like the food, though I have to say it wasn’t that bad!
The pool is a good size and there are plenty of loungers. The hotel is in a very good location and we had a great sea view.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday in Icmeler and the Blue rainbow didn’t spoil it.
If you are looking for a clean and basic hotel in a good location then this place is for you.
Would I return?? If the price was right then yes I would, though my girlfriend would probably disagree.

We just got back from a 2 week fantastic holiday at the Blue Rainbow.
The rooms were very clean and maid service every day. I travelled with my 12 yr old niece who had a fabulous time. We had half board and the food was very good, well presented and a good selection of fresh salads and fruit etc. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We had a large pool and plenty of loungers. We couldn't fault the hotel, or staff in any way.
I will be certainly going back next year, as well as recommending to family and friends. An excellent central location and a good selection of bars, our favourite was the Amalia - family friendly and good value for money.
Definitely our best holiday in years.

The Blue Rainbow was such a lovely hotel. The first night we got there, they told us there was no room that night but they would put us in their sister hotel. It was very basic and I can only think of the word dismal, but it was only for the night. The next day we went for breakfast (this was lovely lots of variety) and we were greeted by a man who'd take our bags to our new room!
The room was great - lovely see view. Everything was so clean, even the towels were in shapes of hearts. The pool is great, so relaxing and big too. The poolside bar is handy with a variety of drinks as well. Dinner at night is relaxing with some Turkish music and again so much choice of foods to eat hot and cold - a lovely spread. Overall great hotel, great holiday and we would definitely go back.

We just came back from the best holiday we have ever had to Icmeler. Blue Rainbow hotel was clean, tidy and the pool was immaculate, plenty of sunbeds and facilities.
The rooms however, are very very small. We shared three girls (all in mid 30's) and it was the tightest squeeze we've ever had. That said, the air con was good (it's free for everyone so don’t let your holiday company make you pay extra for it or tell you they'll take it off the price to entice you!), and bathroom was exceptionally clean. No plug in the sinks, but you can work around it with cotton wool or a flannel! Beds were changed three times during our week stay, and the maid came every day and was lovely.

We went half board and would not recommend it - the food was basic, almost hospital food and miss matched, nothing seemed to go together - eating out is so much cheaper and hunt out the local haunts for almost free meals (2 Lira compared to 8 or 9 tourist prices).
Breakfasts were poor with meats; yoghurt, bland cornflakes, and bread only, no fruit, dinners were a little better with fruit on option for dessert but only with a wide variety of jelly and blaming! We tended to eat breakfast at the restaurant directly opposite the front doors of the Blue Rainbow over the road (for around £2).
Safety deposit boxes are located in reception area so very handy. Lifts to all floors. We had sea view which was spectacular and you can request this free of charge.
The hotel is situated around 3 streets full of bars, restaurants, and cafes, there is life, but everything is switched off at midnight which makes for a peaceful sleep when needed. This personally didn’t bother us as we were generally out later than this anyway.
Head down to the beach at least once - discounted beds with parasol for hotel guests at 2 Lira for the day - Osman runs the beds and he is fabulous - will wash your feet with water to cool you off and is so funny - he loves everyone "more than spaghetti Bolognese"!
Our favourite bar was Yacamoz down the side of the hotel the last bar on the left before the beach. The guys in there could not do enough for us, cute magic tricks, dancing baby who was adorable and clearly loves the guys there, great food, excellent attentive service without any hassle. Ali, WC, and Ferit were absolute stars and we would recommend this place to everyone who goes, please visit at least once to see for yourself.
Scenery beautiful set in front of pine forest, people kind and attentive - girls you will get a lot of attention, but no real hassle, just be polite, or ignore. We heard bad things about hassle in Marmaris though which is bigger.
We will be going again! But probably to a self catering apartment next time. Can’t say anything bad about Blue Rainbow though.

My husband and I stayed at the Blue Rainbow for 2 weeks in August.
I can honestly say we had an excellent holiday, the hotel was spotlessly clean, the staff very helpful and polite in every aspect of their job. Hotel location was fantastic, a minutes walk to the beach, close to all amenities, and the views were beautiful.
We will definitely be returning to Icmeler and the Blue Rainbow next year, an overall 10/10.

The Blue Rainbow was wonderful, the staff were brilliant, well mannered, kind and very friendly.
The accommodation was great. It was a wonderful hotel for couples and families. Food was good.

Just back from Icmeler and the best holiday my wife and I have had.
The Hotel was excellent, clean and tidy. Friendly staff and good food. We were only B & B because there are so many great restaurants around and really cheap. The room was cleaned every day, towels as and when you needed them. Free Aircon and a cheap mini-bar. Balcony with a sea view, and to wake up EVERY morning to the sun shining put the icing on the cake. We will definitely go back.
Special thanks to Rami at I.C.R. travel and all his staff for making the holiday so trouble free.
