Stayed in this hotel with my husband. I chose this hotel based on reviews from travelers. The requirements were as follows: the hotel is no more than a triple, since we planned to travel a lot and walk around the city, respectively, giving a lot of money for a hotel and not being in it would be stupid; food - good breakfasts, dinners; the location is central so close to everything; Internet - Wi-Fi is a must.
In fact, we got it all!
Yes, a 3 * hotel, we understood this very well, therefore there were no excessive requirements and therefore we liked and remembered the rest!
Location:
The hotel is located in the very center: 2 supermarkets at arm's length, many good cafes nearby, 10 minutes walk to the sea. along a beautiful central street!

Before that, I rested in Alanya and I can say with all confidence that Kemer left much more impressions! Very clean, beautiful, geared towards the European visitor. I really liked the fact that when you walk along the central street to the sea (there are a lot of all sorts of shops on it), then if you don’t go under the canopy, then no one sticks to you. You just go under the shed - for merchants this means that you are ready to buy something, they all jump at once. This was not the case in Alanya! They literally grabbed your hands wherever you went and tried to drag you into your store.
Hotel:
The hotel is small, old, but it has its own energy. A very green courtyard, many flowers, trees (grapefruits, tangerines), bushes, a beautiful pool with a fountain in the dining area (which is also located in the courtyard, under the open sky).
We arrived in the morning, so we had to walk for a couple of hours before we were given a room (during this time we walked to the sea, looked around the city).
We were given a room on the third floor, the windows overlooked the street - this did not bother us in any way, there was no mega noise that would interfere with sleep. Please note that this is a small street and no big buses or cars are allowed on it, so it's pretty quiet there.
The rooms are old, the furniture is shaky, the plumbing is old. But! Everything worked for us! There were no breakdowns. there is a small refrigerator in the room - it was not enough for us, although we did not buy much food. In size, it is like a tiny nightstand. . . you can put a bottle of water and some fruit, no more. The staff is friendly: both at the reception, and the cleaners, and the guys who cleaned up after breakfast and dinner.
There is a small pool on site, but it was enough. There are not so many people in the hotel, there were enough sunbeds, a swing, and tables.
Wi-fi is good only in the lobby, in the restaurant and near the pool. Therefore, in the hottest time, we often lay down near the pool, swam and climbed the Internet.
Food:

In principle, we liked it, because we really love vegetables, especially eggplants, which are cooked in this hotel, well, a lot, of different types. We also had enough meat, during the time that we were there once there was fried fish, several times there was fried chicken, there were lamb cutlets. Several options are served for the side dish: rice, bulgur, french fries. Several salads and a lot of chopped vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, a lot of different greens). BUT! Don't forget to try the soups - this is really delicious! My husband and I "got" to them in the middle of the rest and regretted that we did not immediately try. Soups are fresh, tasty, fragrant... yum! In the morning they usually ate buns with jams. You know what Turkish cheese and sausage are, so they rarely ate. For breakfast, there were also boiled eggs, several types of cereal, milk, vegetables, tea and instant disgusting coffee. By the way, drinks are not allowed for dinner, so bring something with you! my husband bought beer several times at the hotel, several times he brought with him a store - they did not say anything.
Of the desserts, there were only watermelons - they ate enough! But, of course, there was a lack of delicious Turkish pastries and some cakes - this is the cry of the soul of a sweet tooth, for someone it may not be important : )
Entertainment:
We managed to visit several excursions, each of which we undoubtedly liked, and I can safely advise each of them: Moto-safari: there will be no excursions in the mountains and beautiful terrain, although they promise : ) but you will get exciting emotions from extreme driving!
Mira-Demre-Kekova: I really liked it, a rich program, a little tiring, but it's worth it! You will see a lot of things, ride a yacht, visit ancient cities... in general, great!
Mount Tahtali: climbing the cable car, laid to the top of the mountain (2365 m above sea level)! The spirit captures from what he sees! I highly recommend!
Russian-speaking guides, many with a historical education, tell a lot of interesting things, but do not bombard tourists with dry facts. The offices are located near the club's yachts (it's closer to the moon light) and next to the square where the clock tower is. If you go towards the tower, on the right side, closer to the fountain will be the central office. The sign is big, don't miss it.
One excursion was taken from the guide (they took pity on him, painfully beautifully told about everything and tried very hard : )) - hamam. It included: being in the sauna, in the Turkish bath - unlimited time, then foam massage, after relaxing in the jacuzzi, then taken to the relaxation area, make a mask on the face and bring seagulls; after that, just a 20-minute massage. Also delighted! Then, on the spot, my husband bargained and bought us an extra hour of massage - it was bliss!!!
During this trip, we didn’t have time to do a lot of things, and we didn’t have time to visit a lot of things : ( But we decided that we would definitely return to this town!

The sea here is wonderful, unusual color, deep, clean! and very salty! several times, coming out of the water, covered with a net of dried salt : ))) it was unusual. The people are friendly, the land is hospitable. . . only warm memories remain!
If you have any questions - write, I will try to answer.
