I am writing a review a little fearing that there will be even more people who want to relax there)) since the hotel is small, getting into it, especially in the season, is already a little difficult. . .
I was lucky to have a rest there even before the official opening of the season (from 15.05) there are fewer people, the sea is warm, it’s a pleasure to walk on excursions) it’s not cold and not very hot, unlike mid-June (since I rested in Kemer during this period, I can compare)) In July, in general, I advise only those who like to swim and sunbathe to go, excursions are useless - you just don’t want to get off the bus))
The only complaints were regarding the beach. At first, it is difficult to get used to entering the sea along large pebbles and leaving it along a rocky hill washed by waves. But by 12.05 this issue was settled, since a ladder was prepared on the pier for a smooth entry into and exit from it, whoever is braver can jump directly from the pier, in some places it descends directly over the water. By the way, neighboring hotels (Fame Residence Kemer 5 *, Valeri Beach 3 * and other nearby hotels (you can see it on the map)) do not have a pier. You can only save yourself with special slippers, and then partly...

In principle, there were enough sunbeds, there was always somewhere to lie down, but in order to take the desired place, you need to come early or not linger after a meal (for those who like to sunbathe on the pier, such a pleasure will cost $ 7 per day (jump, walk, sit and stand on it - for free)). If this question is too important, then city hotels are not for you, since almost all have small beaches in relation to the number of vacationers. And in this case, it is better to focus on the hotels of the Kemeri region in the villages of Kiris, Camyuva, Tekirova and Beldibi. Who can afford a larger area of ​ ​ the beach. But then the considerable territory of the hotel is already of great importance, the number of bars and restaurants in it, animation, discos... Since there is practically nowhere to walk there besides the hotel. The villages themselves consist solely of hotels and a number of modest shops at best.
The big advantage of city hotels in the center of Kemer are beautiful parks, fountains, sculptures, water parks, various discos and restaurants to choose from, many shops and supermarkets where you can buy the same goods as in shops for tourists, but much cheaper, including water and fruits. It was a pleasant surprise that you can bargain in supermarkets, sometimes they can even make a discount themselves, in order to see you again) it is not necessary to change dollars for lira, change will be given in one of these currencies of your choice.
Therefore, I was impressed by the calm atmosphere of the hotel with high-quality music in the evenings, there were also live performances of musicians, it was nice to listen and dance; ) after 22:00 everything calmed down and until 12 at night only jokes and laughter of drunken Russians could be heard (those who rested understand what I speak Russian) fortunately there were not many of them) If you want to come off - please! A 5-minute walk along the embankment from the hotel there are excellent discos and entertainment events, for some (in the Sky Club, for example, a 4-storey entertainment center) and admission is free and oriental sweets, from 21:30-23:30 - free hookah + various discounts for drinks... and there are belly dances and a Turkish night with a karaoke bar... I don’t want to go out!
I used to relax in a hotel with a disco and animation until 12 at night, I’ll tell you it’s rather inconvenient, especially when you want to relax after an excursion.
I should separately note the high-quality daily cleaning of the rooms, pleasant and cozy) from almost every room you can somehow see the sea. Rooms with a direct view of the sea, as I understand it, are family rooms, possibly for an additional fee upon check-in.

The food is very good (3 times a day + afternoon snack), they cook tasty and varied, there have always been several types of meat and fish, not to mention salads, vegetables and sweets. Fruit cakes deserve special attention))) with strawberries, bananas, kiwi, apricots, grapes..........and whipped cream))) a meal!! ! For those who are afraid to get better, there is a wide selection of non-sweet low-calorie foods and fruit desserts) until 24:00 - the bar is open, drinks of quite acceptable quality. In the afternoon, you can try freshly prepared Turkish cakes. The tables are always clean despite the disgusting vacationers, there is always a choice where to sit)
Juices from vending machines resemble diluted dry drinks, but tea and coffee are always a choice in several forms. Freshly squeezed juices, ice cream and non-local drinks - for an additional fee.
Excursions can also be taken near the hotel, it will be much cheaper (Maxwell, Radiant, etc. ), but I will say as a person who compared the same excursion offered by the tour operator (in my case Turtess) and ordered in Maxwell ($ 20 cheaper than in the hotel) - completely different things, of course the bus is also large and air-conditioned, but old, in places with broken backs of the seat, poor sound insulation and, in addition, something rattling and rattling on the humps at the end
bus, and since you spend a significant amount of time on the way, it still spoils the impression. Along the way, you will also visit a winery and a textile factory, for example, but the presentations are simpler and the range of goods offered is simpler. If meals are included in the tour, then you yourself understand that it will also be easier, in more modest places. Regarding yacht excursions - the same thing... So you decide either the quality, or - headphones in your ears and enjoy the beauties despite minor inconveniences)
I do not advise taking a tour of Antalya for those who do not like shopping (3 shopping centers - an hour for each if not more, 30 minutes - a walk through the old city, 20 minutes in the photo near the waterfall). Pamukkale and Demre-Mira-Kekova are great excursions! In addition, for those who don’t like the crowd, from the center of Kemer near the white tower, minibuses go in different directions, for 4 liras you can get to the ancient city of Phaselis and walk there for 8 liras as much as you like (about $ 1 = 1.5 TRL), I advise you to take a swimsuit and a towel, there are excellent beautiful bays and wild beaches)
Have a nice rest and best impressions ; )
