We rested with a girlfriend and two children 15 and 9 years old in early May 2013. We arrived in Antalya at 12.00. Tour operator ANEX-Tour quickly distributed the buses and delivered to the hotel. There was no accompanying guide on the bus, only the driver, who only speaks Turkish. Vacationers on the road were dropped off near the hotel and left safely, without even seeing them to the reception - a huge minus for the tour operator. Whether they were met by a hotel guide remains a mystery. In the event of any problems with a person in a hotel upon check-in, there is no one to contact in a foreign country and the bus left. The tour operator, at a minimum, must accompany the tourist to the reception.
Arrived at the hotel quickly enough, also quickly gave the keys to a spacious clean room on the ground floor, but overlooking the noisy roadway. After much persuasion, the room was changed to the same one, but four floors higher and overlooking the utility yard and a large hotel trash can. No one reacted to subsequent dissatisfaction and persuasion and gently walked away from the conversation, appealing that there were no free rooms (although the occupancy of the hotel at the time of our stay was 25%). The round-the-clock smells of the kitchen, the noise of a garbage truck driving up at night and ventilation were constant companions of our rest. There are power outages in the hotel, so there are powerful generators in the backyard, the strongest noise from the operation of which (you can’t hear your own voice) day and night just takes out the brain. After a night of such noise, a borderline state between insanity and rabies sets in. The administration does not respond to complaints at all, they said dryly that the hotel cannot live without electricity, be patient.
Unable to change anything, we armed ourselves with a good mood and switched to the positive aspects of the hotel. The kitchen is quite decent, vegetables, fruits, lots of sweets. If you are a supporter of a healthy diet and this is not your first time abroad, then you will perfectly understand what you can eat and what is not worth it, what is fresh and what is not very, you will not be hungry. The staff is very friendly, they work with all their might, the room is cleaned every other day, the towels are changed every day, the restaurant is clean.

Separate respect for animation. Well done, entertaining and attentive to both children and adults.
A good beach, a gorgeous sea, the first coastline are the huge advantages of this hotel, but... the beach is the same for two hotels (neighboring Green Hill is several times larger than Kemal), there are not very many people in May (as I wrote above - 25%), there was enough space for everyone, but in the high season, I think there will be problems and wars for sunbeds in the shade. Draw your own conclusions.
The overall impression of the hotel is not bad, but this hotel is focused exclusively on tourists from the CIS countries, I did not see a single European or Turk during the whole vacation. On the contrary, a large number of Kazakhs were brought in a few days later. Not in reproach to this beautiful country that supplies us with gas, but it is impossible to put into words what poor, uncultured and poorly educated people do when they get into a small civilization: grandmothers in bathrobes with dirty feet, noisy unkempt children, men drinking excessively, loudly screaming women. All this unbridled horde swept away everything edible and inedible in the restaurant in 10 minutes, tripled bedlam near the pool, drank to death in the evenings with all the ensuing consequences, left heaps of garbage on the beach. There was a feeling that we were in some kind of remote Kazakh village, where they had never seen a buffet and cutlery (even a knife) and an urn. see eyes.
Our people themselves spoil the environment in which they are, therefore, the administration has a very cool attitude towards tourists and their requests. But the hotel is well worth the money spent on it, and if your ambitions exceed all of the above, look elsewhere. Turkey is a beautiful beautiful country with amazing cuisine, culture and nature, where everyone will find themselves. Good choice!! !
