This was the first trip to Turkey, we approached the choice of a hotel thoroughly, we were looking for a hotel in the center of Kemer, good and calm. We have chosen what we need! Everything is very worthy, soundly done, there were no problems with the room, or with cleaning, or with the hotel staff. I was pleased with the quality of the furniture (there were only sunbeds made of plastic). The air conditioner worked properly. Towels changed, beds made. When we first arrived, the “do not disturb” sign was on all day (we slept), so they slipped paper under the door that the cleaning had not been done, because. "do not disturb".
I really liked the food (as I read in the reviews before the trip, the food is one of the strengths of the hotel). There are spicy dishes, but they are few (spices always stand separately). There is almost no meat, like everywhere else in Turkey, but they do well with chicken. Many different olives, herbs, cucumbers, tomatoes. We don't have the usual salads. For breakfast, different muesli, cereals, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs. Very tasty soups. There were yogurts, but we never tried them. From fruits, delicious apples, oranges, grapefruits, unripe melons. Once there was a strawberry. Delicious desserts, and there are oriental sweets (I didn’t take it as an amateur), but there are familiar to us. Good biscuits, and they are dry, we took sweet sauces for them. Well, drinks: tea, coffee, fruit drinks (I didn’t like it, but I don’t really drink them here either), beer (high-quality), dry red and white wine. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are held indoors, there is good ventilation, it is not hot. Lunch - on the terrace. The dishes are clean, the waiters clean. But with food on the road, they disappointed us: we left the hotel early in the morning, ordered food at the reception the day before. We were given an apple, a very small piece of biscuit, and a cheese and cucumber bun. So if someone will order food on the road - take something else with you.
The hotel is located in the center of Kemer, everything is close - the sea, shops and discos. The hotel itself consists of 5 buildings, one, the farthest, was closed (I don’t know why). When ordering a tour, we indicated that we were settled in the main building, settled without problems (and without additional money), on the third floor, overlooking the pool. Because there is practically no animation in this hotel (only on Friday one hour there was a dancer with an oriental dance), it was quiet. The room has two single beds, which rolled very easily on the floor, which is uncomfortable, a flat-screen TV, bedside tables, a table, a chair, a wardrobe with 6 hangers, a table and 2 chairs on the balcony, a clothes dryer, and a hairdryer in the bathroom. The room itself is quite cramped. This is a minus of the hotel. Still not lucky if they settle on the first floor - the balcony turns out to be flush with the ground. With us, one German got into the room - he just climbed over the fence of the balcony and the house.

Most of the Germans in the hotel, not all speak Russian, we communicated more in English. In the spa there is a masseuse Gul, she is from Kyrgyzstan, so she knows Russian. At the reception, you can more or less explain yourself in Russian. The staff is friendly, every time they say hello and ask "how are you". With the photographer Almaz and the main guy from the spa (I don’t know his name), we talked several times, they know English well. They approached the reception with questions - they always answered, even if there were difficulties with the language, they called other people who knew Russian better.
The beach is not far, 4-5 minutes across the road. We didn’t take sunbeds in advance, we always found places both in the morning and after dinner (but this may be because there were not many people in the hotel, one building was not open at all). Beach towels are free, we had our own. The beach itself is clean, there is a bar (paid), a shower, a changing cabin, a toilet. The entrance to the sea is not the most convenient, in Adler the pebbles are smaller.
There is a swimming pool on the territory of the hotel, depth 145 cm, length 15 meters. There is a children's section, there are no slides. There are also separate places for those who like to just sunbathe - the area above the bar and another one above the a la carte restaurant (we didn’t go to this restaurant, we had enough of the usual all-inclusive). The hotel does not have a territory as such, but there are flowers, trees, and green lawns.
In general, I really liked the hotel, everything is of high quality, everything is done for people, it is convenient. If we go to Kemer, then only to this hotel!
