Good evening from Kemer with Asteria Resort…
On hot July days, not only tourists are ready to throw off the Mediterranean Sea, but also the residents of Turkey, it so happened that our vacation coincided with a Muslim holiday, and, trying to escape from hot Istanbul, the Turks decided to land in Asteria by plane.
I will say right away that I visit Turkey every year and this year my trip was the first one at the end of May to Dalaman-Marmaris-Fethiye… so I can certainly compare Turkish holidays during the pandemic…
So:
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised at the reception by the Ukrainian-speaking hotel staff... a pleasant shock. A good-natured poleglot Turk who speaks 6 languages.

He settled us in a large spacious room on the 2nd floor without a balcony. We, like everyone who wants cool views, wanted to pay money, but he said that he didn’t need anything and that he would move us without problems as soon as a free room appeared... but we spent the night in ours and already decided that we didn’t want to move with suitcases. Our child gets into the room at 22:00 and only sleeps. Beautiful sea and Having new friends all fill up our son's entire sunny day. In the evening, the hotel clerk called us and said to go down. They apologized and said that there was a very large influx of tourists. There are no rooms available at all. And he showed me a map of the rooms. . . They are really all filled with red. . . We thanked for the honesty and said that no one would be transporting things.
Now more about the hotel itself:
Nice little area. It cleans up great. The pool and beach are also cleaned.
The room is also cleaned every day and towels are changed 1p in 2 days. The bar is filled every day.
The pool is clean. It has sunny faces of splashing children waiting 12 hours for the free ice cream shop to open. . . and it's really tasty. . . take as much as your stomach can handle. Next to the pool, gozleme is cooked - a flatbread with cheese and meat. Considering that I often vacation in Turkey, I have not yet met satisfied workers in this profession - carcass ladies, as if doing you a favor. You should not pay attention to them.
On the bar to the left of the restaurant (when viewed from the pool) very friendly staff. Delicious cocktails and delicious coffee. I sell coffee, so I can tell you with confidence that they have a decent quality product in the machine... now my husband and I took champagne. Served beautifully with a cherry inside. Required temperature. I also tried Baileys - not bad. But this is not an original Baileys. I saw chivas and jamison men took them in the original bottles.
Now about the kitchen:
Well, for category 5 ', I lack the quality of food and the number of dishes.
Lots of fruit, which is a plus.
In the morning, the baking is slightly hard, which means that they are baked from wholemeal flour or baked in the evening and served in the morning... I am a bun lover and it really hurts me.
Baklava is delicious. The cakes are also good, but again, for the 5 'category - rather weak.
Not very pleased with the cleaning in the restaurant. You sit in a mountain of dirty dishes and wait for your finest hour. . .
There are not enough hammocks on the territory of the hotel... there are a lot of families with children and it would be nice to hide from the heat of 40 degrees.
Now about the animation - hahaha, below the review the girl wrote 'unobtrusive animation'.

So they don’t strain, but I would like to take the children as an animation employee. Well, at the pool, it's really asking.
Adults are entertained on time. One animator shameless, but he can be forgiven. He learned our language, but the manner of communication remained apparently in the experience of working in Egypt...
We eat on Wednesday in the mule and on Thursday in the mountains. The guide from the anex does not recommend to the city of legends yet. He said very clearly the child will not stand it. Kudos to him for his honesty. And in general, it’s worth going to an information meeting with the Anex tour. Laugh heartily. Nobody is pushing tours. All desire of the client. Charismatic guys really lifted my morning mood.
The sea was stormy this afternoon. For me, for 15 years of experience traveling to Turkey, I was surprised, but very pleased. My son and I were carried like slippers to the shore. Ask me if I would go to this hotel again? - Not. If you really want a hotel with a beautiful area and delicious food - Miarossa Gazal, this is guinyuk. This greenery and the presence of hammocks, Wi-Fi, the beach and the staff all speak of a 5 '' hotel category.
I drank baileys there from the original bottle and dor blue brie parmesan cheese was on ordinary days... alas, I didn’t see this here... but there are still 7 days ahead... suddenly I will be happy ?!
Thanks for attention. Unfortunately, this hotel is not a VIP category. 4+. And this is not a quarantine effect. We were in Egypt in January during the lakdown and the food was cooler.
