The hotel justified itself, there are no serious complaints, except for minor remarks, which can be attributed to its complete occupancy.
More: what pleased:
A large fresh pool with a Jacuzzi, a sea pool with a Jacuzzi with adult slides, paddling pools for children, there are a lot of sunbeds everywhere. Vitamin bar all day with freshly squeezed juices, freshly squeezed juices are served to everyone at once for breakfast. Clear sea, good beach. This year the territory has been improved, on the beach there is a shade area under awnings, there are sun loungers and huge pillows. On the beach you can pour cold ayran, among other things. At 16 o'clock on the beach, a cart with watermelons and ice cream are delivered.
Large room, bathrobes and slippers.

5 times a week in the evening for an hour professional performances-shows - dancing, acrobatics, etc. They perform very well. On Fridays Hotel Day - extended fish dinner + gala takeaway with torches of a huge ice cream cake, eating it with champagne and laser show, disco. It all looks like in a movie) racks and waiters with champagne, and the smell of champagne is in the air).
The center of Kemer and shops are close to walking, 10 minutes the first shops, and they are nicer than in Kemer itself. Shopping, as always after dinner. There is easy shopping, those who need it are taken to large stores.
The spa center has a free Turkish bath, 2 saunas and even a Russian steam room. There is also a swimming pool (internal) and a jacuzzi.
Plenty of food all over the place, nowhere to step. Just terrible, and bars, and nuts with beer, and hamburgers, you can just burst. There is also a Turkish bar and a hookah (for a fee). Turkish tea and coffee, delicious!
5 a la carte restaurants without limits! Loved French! And the interior, and the service, and the dishes are decorated and cooked - awesome!
Peculiarities:
A small compact area, but it is all rationally used. Most of the Russians are from Ukraine, so the first row of sunbeds on the beach is occupied until 7.30, by 8 in the morning most of the sunbeds are occupied. And there are no people, only towels and bags. People from 7 in the morning occupy their favorite sunbeds).
There is a construction site nearby, it doesn’t interfere, we had a window right there - you can’t hear anything, there is finishing work.
The first floor of the rooms in the inner courtyard is made so that the lawn is at the level of the balcony. There is a lawn and trees, cool). The elevators are always full.
Internet room with 7 computers, but there are almost always small children sitting there for hours, playing games, and it is impossible to drive them away (.
The food in the main restaurant is good, it is especially good that there is always a lot of fruit, but the menu could be richer.
The main contingent is Russian + Ukrainians from 26 years old.
Notes:
In fact, at the entrance there is a girl with champagne and pours everyone at once. But for some reason, when they brought us, at that moment she was not there and we were a little upset. We arrived on Thursday and were alone in this hotel from this flight.

The room was also not ready, although it was already 2-3 pm, and we waited for half an hour. The room had only 2 sets of bathrobe and slippers instead of 3, I had to go to the reception again and remind.
The rooms are all standard, spacious, but the main bed was shown to be hard, and the folding sofa was just a torment!
A couple of days later, the hair dryer broke down, left a request for reception, no one went for a day. I had to make a suggestion, then they just came and replaced the hair dryer with a sparkling one.
Some waiters walk around with bad stone faces and do not understand either Russian or English simple words like "water", or even frankly forget about you (if you come at the last hour of eating). Maybe because the hotel is full, but everything is early so it should not be.
Cleaning of rooms and replenishment of the minibar until 17, which is not very convenient.
The guide from Teztur (I don’t remember the name, he was the only man there, it seems a Turk), when new tourists asked him where to buy T-shirts and shorts, he immediately began to breed them for a trip to some “own” store by car, and nothing did not say that there are shops very close! We told them, of course)).
In the spa center, the masseuses are girls, either Russians or Kazakhs, and they do massage very so-so, some frankly hack! Not impressive, in a word. And the cost of services is not small, and 2 times higher than the price indicated on the TezTour website. When we went to find out on the first day, we were immediately told at the spa to pay here and didn’t ask anything else at the main reception. And then our guide (the meeting was the next day) said that, in fact, they had an agreement with TezTour and they should have given us a discount! So here, keep that in mind.
The TezTour guides made a mistake with the time of the tour - they promised to bring it to the hotel at 17, but they brought it an hour and a half later, which did not please (((.
The fish restaurant has a rather poor menu - nothing that would not be in the main restaurant, you should not go there, French and Italian are better.

Request: I would like colorful Turkish dances to be included in the program of the show! And then there was no belly dance (. And so that during the evening there were several different groups, and not just one, it would be more interesting.
Tours:
Going on excursions in such weather is just suicide, in a bus with the air conditioners on, at least 33 degrees, or even all 40! On the serpentine, you just go nuts from stuffiness and pitching.
To the excursion of Mira-Kekova: there are no amphorae at the bottom, in general there is nothing to see at the bottom and all the "looking" at the flooded city takes 5 minutes. And the "yacht" itself is something! The felucca is wooden, the door to the locker room and the toilet without a lock, it rumbles terribly and the music is too on the nerves, I didn’t like it. Swimming in the bay - life jackets are stupid, they slip off you after 5 minutes of swimming. In general, the part on the yacht is not comfortable. Mira and Nikolai liked it.
Two years ago we went on a yacht with Natalie Tours, it was much better, the yacht itself was better, although there were a lot of people. They say that now there are also a lot of people on yachts.
In general, all have a good rest and do not bother with the little things! I'm just a nitpick and there is something to compare. You can safely go to the hotel if you know that the territory is small, everything else is good! I would give a rating of 5- (minus for lack of service).
