I want to write a review about Le Chateau De Prestige 5 *, firstly, because I really liked it, and secondly, because when choosing a hotel, I read mostly negative reviews.
Family hotel. The territory of the hotel is large, there is not much vegetation yet, but it was not expected from a hotel built last year. The territory is very well-groomed, and the Turks are trying to decorate it. The road to the sea through the bridge is not annoying at all, with VERY GOOD and varied food, these walks are only for the benefit of absolutely everyone.
We got a wonderful room, good furniture, a marble countertop in the bathroom, everything is very nice. Of course, if you look at everything from the point of view of “everything is bad”, then the flaws in the finish are visible - there is no overhead light, but there is plenty of lower light, the joint in the shower cabin was leaking, this gave me concern only from the point of view of the room on the 3rd floor and I, most likely pour someone. The cosmetic finishing of the rooms is not perfect, but having paid off part of the costs for this season and completing everything that remains for the next season, it will cost quite different money.

Towels were changed every day only after a tip, the bed was changed after 3 days, everything was snow-white, no stains, stains, etc. The cleaning was normal, she walked around the room in white socks, they remained white. The first 2 days we did not leave any tips, and we were clearly given to understand how they would clean up without a tip.
The sea is clean, there is no pier, which especially pleased me. The beach is pebbly with large pebbles at the entrance to the sea and shallow in the part with sunbeds, not very large, and by 11 o'clock there were not enough sunbeds, but pillows saved the situation, for 11 days no one lay on a towel on pebbles even once. Considering that a fairly large part of the people were lying by the pools and near the hotel and in the water park, something obviously needs to be done with the beach during the peak season.
I was outraged by the disgusting nature of the vacationers, I myself smoke, but I put bulls and garbage in a glass, a glass in pots, they are everywhere. Our own children play in this small pebble, but we will leave all the garbage on the beach (leftovers, and bulls, and used diapers), and these are not only Russians and Ukrainians, these are Israelis and Germans.
I really liked the slides, it’s simpler and newer near the hotel, more likely for children, although there were plenty of adults, it’s more extreme on the territory of the water park, it’s more difficult to track who you are flying to, so you need to be careful with children, there are also for very small ones.

In Turkey, it is generally difficult to stay hungry, but in this hotel, in principle, it is impossible. The food is very varied, there was always meat, in different versions, red fish 2-3 times and some kind of river fish fried periodically appeared. Vegetables, cheeses and sweets from morning to evening, from 16 to 17 hours in the lower bar there was ice cream. To get fresh orange juice for breakfast without queues, you just had to get up early, I had the impression that people came from a hungry land, absolutely everything, press 5-6 glasses of juice just because it's fresh, don't drink it, after all, funny. With almost round-the-clock food, the desire of some Ukrainian neighbors to score pre-brought packages with fried meat and fruits was amused. Why, if before the end of dinner for another 2.5 hours in my mind it does not fit.
There is such a moment in the main restaurant that the waiters approach the Russians last, on the sofas near the bar they will only approach the Germans, the rest themselves go to the bar for drinks. About drinks - like everywhere else, the local is very specific, imported is only strong, if you drink something specific, take it in duty free upon arrival.
The best bar, or rather the bartender "Piano Bar", made cool cocktails. I didn’t like the a la carte restaurants, everything is the same as in the main, only they brought you what they brought, and this is not always what you want. The exception is Turkish (nomad's tent) the only one worth going to.
The only disappointing thing is the animation. At 11 o'clock in the water park every day there was aqua aerobics, which at first went to quite a lot of people, but then somehow everything came down to 0, it was just not at all interesting. Children's - for 11 days there was the same disk, the children, of course, were furious under it, but adults developed a persistent dislike. an evening show with jokes below the waist was amused for some, but did not differ in variety.
Special thanks to the DJ, the music during the day was not intrusive, the latest hits mixed with the classics, I personally really liked it.
With comments about sticky staff - who goes for what, if you want adventures you will find them, but no one is missing and dragging anywhere, there was a review in early September with insults to the staff, well, I don’t even know what needs to be done to you were filthy molested without your consent.
Another plus, the hotel is located in the village and to go shopping, you just need to go outside, in principle, at any time of the day (although after a late evening walk we preferred to walk in the afternoon). In general, we had a very good holiday. I really liked this hotel, and if I go to Kemer again, I will return to this hotel.

Conclusion - this is 100% your hotel if you are a married couple with children under 12 years old (the older ones will be bored), or a company that entertains itself. If your goal is to relax with comfort at sea, a quiet family vacation.
