We were in Turkey once in 2007. So this visit is like the first one and I can’t compare it with other hotels in Turkey.
We have spent the last 6 years in Egypt.
The hotel was selected for the flight. And this one was a recommendation from a travel agent. In the evening, the reservation was confirmed, and in the morning I watched a YouTube commercial about this hotel, fresh, which begins with the phrase “this hotel is suitable for pensioners and families with children, ” but we did not fit into these categories. Upset. But it was not possible to change the hotel.

We arrived at 8 am, spent about two hours at the airport, waiting for luggage, tourists from other flights. About an hour from the airport to the hotel - our hotel was the third. We were at the hotel around 11 am. We were given questionnaires, our passports were photocopied (passports were given immediately), they said that our room was not ready and we had to wait - check-in from 14:00, but it might be earlier. They offered to change and go to the beach. We immediately bought Wi-Fi - $ 10 one device for 7 days. Wifi works very well only at the reception. It works throughout the territory, except for the rooms. But we lived in the first building and worked for us on the balcony. While we were dealing with the Internet, we were settled - it was at 11:30. I think all numbers are the same. Personally, we didn’t have any questions about the number, everything suited us, especially since I watched the latest videos on YouTube and understood where I was going.
The room has new furniture and good mattresses, snow-white linen and towels. Slept great. In the evenings very loud music from a neighboring hotel. So loud that you can't hear the other person in the room. But at 23:00-23:30 - silence. Nothing leaked in the bathroom, everything worked, the water was hot. There was shampoo and shower gel. Soundproofing relative to neighbors is excellent. But due to the fact that from the door you immediately get to the bed, you can hear the neighbors slamming the door.
Infrastructure. The territory is small, very green. Our room was the furthest from the beach. Walk to the sea for a minute. There are really a lot of children in the hotel. But they are not heard. Hotel on the outskirts of the village. There are several shops across the road. 15 minutes walk to the center. Or on a bus that says KEMER 3.5 lira. To Kemer it costs 5.5 lira or 1 dollar. It is more profitable with lira, because dollars are counted at 8 lira. There is a stop a little further, but it stops where you wave. If you stand with your back to the hotel, on your left hand you can walk to Paradise Bay in 20 minutes. It is necessary to go along the route, keep to the left side, over the mountain. There is a youtube video on how to get there. I strongly advise you to go - free mega views for a photo shoot. And there is the beach. But you have to go on a weekday, because. but on weekends, the locals rest there and there are a lot of people.
Beach. Pebble. The entrance to the water is gentle, but almost immediately deep. The sea is unrealistically transparent, warm and soft. All days were calm. Some people swam in masks. I once swam with goggles. I saw nothing but stones and a few tiny fish. So masks are redundant. When you sail away and turn to face the shore, a stunning view of the mountains opens up. The beach is open at night. You can count the stars or swim. Common covers and deck chairs are close to each other. This is a minus, but not critical. You can watch the children of the neighbors)

Food. As far as I'm concerned, it's full of everything. No lobster, crab, shrimp. But there is always food. Porridges, soups, pasta, rice, fresh and stewed or grilled vegetables, chicken, meat, fish, 5 types of olives, darkness, sausage, various pastries, fruits - there were only apples and watermelon. Breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00. Lunch from 12:30 to 14:00. Between lunch and dinner, you can take pizza-type pastries. Dinner from 19:00 to 21:00. The whole hotel comes to dinner, but there are enough tables. You can sit near the stage. Everywhere it is written that you can not take food to the room. At the same time, there are tables throughout the hotel on which you can put empty dishes. But we didn't take anything, we had enough food. There is a hookah bar. The hookah is excellent. 10. Natural coffee $2. Not bad.
Staff. There is a Russian speaking girl at the reception. Knows everything about everything. We didn't go to meet the guide, so I won't say anything about them. There are also animators who go to collect people for exercises, water aerobics, discos. I can only sympathize with them - there really are 90% of pensioners and families with children. Paradise for children. In the evenings there is a children's disco and then something for adults until 22:00. Everyone is very polite. Not clingy.
There is also a spa and there are male masseurs. Well, now you can go.
The overall impression is very sincere, you feel like in the country. Rest mentally. On the territory you can walk in a swimsuit. Everything is very calm. Never regretted choosing this hotel. Thanks to the team for our stay.
I'll leave the videos on youtube. I will definitely return here.
