To be honest, after reading the reviews on this site about Asdem Park, I was preparing myself for almost the worst. Friends warned: do not read, you will ruin your whole mood, it’s better to come, look and evaluate yourself, then.
But I was very interested.
We went to Turkey as a family, me, my husband and our 5-year-old son. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were met at the reception by a representative of the Pegas Touristik company, who told us about the proposed excursions and possible incidents that could happen to us in Turkey. With all this, check-in at the hotel has not yet been made, supposedly there were no cleaned rooms. We were immediately put on bracelets and warned that we can use all the services of the hotel. In order not to waste precious time, we went to a restaurant to taste the local cuisine. It was already one in the afternoon. Having eaten, drunk, they began to fiddle with the reception, asking every 5 minutes if the rooms were ready. They answered us a little irritably: no, I’ll tell you right away how it will be. Waited a total of an hour and a half. Then I could not stand it, insisted that my husband "show" 10 bucks. As soon as the smell of money, we were immediately given a nice room overlooking the courtyard and pool. The room had one large bed, two single beds, a TV, two mirrors, a chest of drawers, a shoe rack, bedside tables, an armchair and a bar, which upset me very much. The content in it was all paid. Coca-Cola, Sprite, drinking water, (0.5 l), condoms - all for $2. This is probably the only thing I didn't like. I was always thirsty and I had to either carry it with me, or think where to get it, because. did not want to pay.

We really liked the hotel itself: nice staff (they always say hello, pat the child on the cheeks, wish you bon appetit, tear down the hotel day and night. The room is cleaned every day, for tips and just like that), funny animation (usually in the mornings at the hotel it was quiet, you could walk calmly, because the animators slept after the night, and at lunchtime a whistle blew, music turned on and, if you don’t have time to escape to the sea, they will always drag you to water aerobics, step gymnastics, belly dance, put on a hat and throw it in swimming pool to play water polo. Cheerful guys, did not let anyone get bored, everyone was pulled by a sun lounger to participate in ongoing activities. If you are an elderly person, shy, or like silence, then you better lie down on the sea, and not by the pool. And youth on the sea don't worry, all the girls, the boys were "pinning" by the pool. If you want silence, ask to be placed in building C. It used to be the building of another, neighboring hotel, but Asdem Park bought it and attached it to itself. There, too have your big swimming pool, adult and children's, bar, but the animators do not work there. Silence and calm reigns, (and we are bored).
The food at the hotel is AMAZING. Lots of vegetables. I always watch my figure, so I try to "eat" less. For breakfast, the hotel serves various muesli, chocolate balls, cereals with milk, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, two types of ham (maybe soy, I didn’t make it out, but it’s very tasty !! ! Local cats are also delighted with it), they bake pancakes, they have honey and jam. And the bread is great! Soft, crispy, freshly baked pita bread. There are enough pastries, cakes, desserts, but this is not mine, I have not tried it. The husband ate on both cheeks. Now I will describe what we ate for lunch. The garnish was rice with sweet peppers, pasta, beans, lentils, stewed vegetables with meat (natural), chicken with vegetables, or potatoes. Flat cakes with meat, potatoes or cheese were fried separately. From vegetables there were all sorts of lettuce leaves, cucumbers, tomatoes, fried zucchini, eggplant, some salads with mayonnaise (I didn’t eat them), any cauliflower, deep-fried broccoli. Again, pastries and desserts.
For dinner, there was also a lot of all sorts of things, plus local sausages, chicken or fish were fried on the grill. I'm amazed: IS IT NOT ENOUGH? The Russian aunts were infuriated, who walked and were indignant: “Where is the meat? ”, “There is nothing”, “What kind of fish”, while laying huge plates of food, and when they took out a watermelon, grapes or melon, they took not a few pieces for themselves, but whole plates, while creating a queue and making excuses: "I'm not alone, I'm with a friend. " Behind those standing asked: "Will you ever leave here? " SHAME! And yet, for dinner, the restaurant opened at 7 o'clock. And our kind compatriots in fifteen minutes began to take their places and come closer to the food. The poor chefs kindly tried to explain - it's still impossible... That's what made an indelible impression on me, the Russian mentality. "Guzzle" not in themselves. By the way, I noticed that slender people in our time are becoming less and less. Don't care about the figure - the main thing is FREE!
Now a little about the evening animation and noise in the hotel. Every evening at 9 o'clock there was a children's disco. But we have never been there, because. my child, having swum in the sea all day, "passed out" immediately after dinner. At 10 o'clock competitions for adults began. Mostly girls, or couples (family, lovers) participated in them. It was fun and interesting to watch and be present. After the competitions, "Club dances" began. These are two songs, fast and slow, to which everyone jumped and began to repeat the movements of the animators. It was generally cool! And then the disco started. A bar with free drinks in the same place, but free only until 11 pm, then everything is for the money. By the way, there are three bars in the hotel, and all work according to this principle. The disco lasts until two in the morning, but we left earlier, because. wanted to sleep. Neither music nor noise bothered us. We are healthy people, we do not suffer from insomnia, we passed out as soon as our head touched the pillow. By the way, in our room, on the top floor, building "A", double-glazed windows were closed like windows, by the handle, and in the other rooms, there were doors - roller shutters, sliding. Maybe there is more noise? Don't know. Another detail: there is an elevator in building "A", in other buildings, "B" and "C" there is no elevator. Some complained that it was difficult to climb.

The hotel has a Turkish sauna. Sauna and fitness room free of charge. A massage that lasts two hours for $25 per person, do it or not. But everyone praised.
The hotel has a children's pool - a puddle, safe, shallow. There are some toys, a constructor, children's tables, tennis, a car, behind the main building, how to go to building "C", there is a swing and a slide.
On the beach, sun loungers are free and paid. Those that are newer - for the money. DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR TOWEL WITH YOU. You can’t take them out of your room, they are paid on the beach, and it costs $ 10-20 to buy one.
Now about the sea itself and Turkey. The sea is clean. Transparent, warm. Nobody swims, nobody bites. No mosquitoes, no flies, no one. Lie bastard. I liked it very much. Turkey is a country of contrasts. Most of the Turks are friendly, smiling, and there were also those who threw chairs in pursuit, spitting after them if they didn’t buy goods from him. Do not ride camels - "SCAM". One person - 15 euros, two persons - 30 euros + photo 5 euros. It was fun.
Conclusion: If you are not a pessimist, not a bore, and do not go to a hotel to photograph a wrinkled bed - YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT REST. YOU WILL LOVE EVERYTHING. DON'T DOUBT AND DON'T WORRY, EVERYTHING WILL BE GOOD.
A magnificent hotel in the center of Kemer, opposite the city square with a children's playground and a gym, not far from the yacht club. Near the shopping street with many shops and restaurants. Beautiful promenade and most importantly, clean, salty sea.
