We stayed for a week mid October looking for a week of relaxation, sun and great food and Cooks club did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived until we left, we could not fault the resort and would not hesitate to return. Starting with Jet2, flight and transfers were great and incredibly easy. We were directed to our bus as resort was a 90 minute drive away and only had one other stop on the way. When arriving at the other resort we were greeted by a large dinning room full of holiday makers with sweet Caroline blarring out. Both myself and partner concerned about how our resort would be as we are definitely not "brits abroad". However on arrival to Cooks club we were instantly relieved as it was far from the "brits abroad" vibe of the other resort and oozed luxury and relaxation. We arrived at night so were excited to see the resort the following morning. We went for a standard room as felt we would be on the beach most days and would only be in there to sleep and we were happy with the room and enjoyed the bohoo feel. The view from the balcony was not great, however we spent no time there and did actually see some wild boar which was nice. The resort itself was stunning, honestly the pictures do not do it justice and it certainly lived up to its "vibe" feeling. Everyone there was chilled and relaxed, no issues with beds on the beach as there were plenty. Food was amazing, we enjoyed every meal and the choices were great and for a couple of foodies we were very impressed. This is not your usual all inclusive buffet, all food is freshly prepared and made to order, we had freshly made hand rolled sushi most lunch times, beautiful salmon dishes, desserts, pastas, meats and pizzas. Breakfast options were fantastic and we very much enjoyed all options. Drink options were great, we did not need to pay for additional alcoholic drinks as the bar staff made us lovely cuba Libras, rum, coke and lime juice, however the quality of these was dependant on who served you, this was the same with the coffees, I soon learned who could make a good cocktail and latte and who was not great, but this was not an issue and I would change my choice based on the staff available. Speaking of the staff they were all fantastic. Very polite, friendly and made us feel at ease. Myself and partner both love the sea and took our snorkeling gear and the water here was stunning, it was warm and when snorkeling was like swimming in an aquarium. If you do not have your own gear you can buy a set at the small hotel shop at a reasonable price and it is well worth it, we spent hours swimming with the fishes. We are avid paddleboarders and asked if we could use the boards and not have a guided tour which the hotel granted, we spent 2 hours paddling out to the island across the water and we paddled all around and back to the resort which was lovely, however the paddleboards are not premium or pumped up enough so it was like trying to stand on a lilo, however we enjoyed it

We went to Icmeler for a fortnight in October 2024... except we didn't as our hotel closed down for the season halfway through our stay! Our reps swooped in and offered us two replacement hotels - one in the centre of Marmaris, which we had walked past along the beachfront promenade every day... and the other Cooks Club Adakoy, all the way around the other side of the bay. I can't say we gave it much thought as a centre of Marmaris hotel did not tick any of our boxes in terms of requirements for a holiday, so it was Cooks Club by default. We were nervous ahead of our transfer as we were moving from a hotel we loved, and had stayed at in previous years, to an unknown quantity. We were concerned that a lot of the reviews spoke of the 'vibe' at Cooks Club... we didn't want a vibe, we wanted a place to relax, read our kindles, swim in the sea and run / walk. We needn’t have worried. Check in didn’t give us the best first impression… we were left in reception for around 45 minutes whilst our room was prepared, however I put that down to being an ‘emergency transfer’ from another hotel, and to being a little bit fussy on account of my apparent snoring / wriggling meaning we needed separate beds despite travelling as a couple (the secret to a happy relationship is definitely separate beds!). It would have been nice to have been kept informed of the check in delay better than we were or maybe offered a drink whilst we waited, however it wasn’t a big issue. Following check in we were taken to our room, which was exactly as we’d expected from researching the hotel ahead of our transfer – the room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a week long stay… there wasn’t much space to place clothes but that didn’t come as a surprise and nor did it cause us any issue – the open clothes rack by the door was sufficient to hang up what needed hanging up and there were plenty of surfaces on which to place other clothes. The room had a nice balcony, though we didn’t make much use of it other than hanging clothes out to dry after washing them. The lighting in the room was quite low, but again that wasn’t a surprise and wasn’t an issue – we have low lighting in our own house so were used to it and the lighting was more than sufficient. The bathroom had everything you’d need. The air conditioning was amazing for cooling down after a day in the sun. During the day we spent most of our time at the beach area, looking out at the pier and the beautiful bay beyond. The setting for the hotel really is stunning – forested hills to the rear and the bay right in front of you. Perfection. Unfortunately, the sun appears over the hills so if you’re intent on catching some rays you need to turn your back on the bay. The beach was a lovely area to relax with the only real interruption from the peace and quiet being the occasional quack of the resident ducks, who we loved… they’d often put themselves to sleep next to our lounger during the day and it was entertainin

I booked a last minute trip to Turkey and chose to stay at the Cooks Club as it was reasonably priced. The good: - Adults only - Food was hands down brilliant. No buffets at dinner or lunch but rather freshly cooked and with nice accompaniments. - The resort is brilliant for relaxing and quiet with ambient music from a dj each day. - Water taxi into Marmaris was brilliant. - The setting was lovely. - Room was nicely decorated and had everything one would need. - Most staff were extremity friendly and welcoming. Could be better: - If staff wore uniform or had something to make them identifiable like a name badge. - Larger variety of drinks included in the all inclusive package. - More nightly entertainment/ socialising opportunities. - Table service for drinks and someone coming round those sitting round the pool would be nice. All in all a great hotel, the food is the most memorable part in addition to the tranquility of the resort.
