We rested at the L'ancora Beach Hotel immediately after the quarantine was lifted in the resorts of Turkey, from June 27.2021 - 15 days. The finished tour was purchased from the tour operator Biblio-Globus. Upon arrival, the hotel was 50-60% full, and upon departure it was already 100%. Contingent: about half of Russian-speaking tourists (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. ) and the rest of tourists from Europe.
The choice of a tour operator when buying a tour from Moscow largely determined the flight a / to Russia with a permitted baggage weight of 20 kg (+5 kg hand luggage) on a Boeing 747-400
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL L'ancora Beach Hotel 4*
It is a member of the Mine Group Hotels chain of hotels. The hotel was renovated in 2021. Before the trip, we reviewed many reviews and descriptions of the hotel. Unfortunately, information about the hotel is presented everywhere is different, and often contradictory. The most recent is presented on offsite.
LOCATION
L'ancora Beach is a city hotel located on the seafront in the center of Kemer, 55 km from Antalya Airport.
It is within walking distance from Kemer Marina, Lunar Park, nightclubs. To the city center - the clock tower - 15 minutes on foot. The center from the bus stop at the hotel can also be reached for 4 TRY.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL ROOMS
The L'ancora Beach Hotel offers 233 rooms. Check-in at L'ancora Beach Hotel starts from 14.00. Check-out time from the rooms is at 12.00. Late check out is charged at $10 per hour. Safe in the rooms - for an additional fee of $ 3 per day.
There is also confusion about the hotel rooms and their area. Different sites provide different information. We managed to live in different rooms of the hotel. The most reliable, in our opinion, is the following
Courtyard Room - 16 sqm m. The rooms in the courtyard do not have a balcony, but there is a terrace.
Standard Room - 18 sq. m. Everything is the same as in the Courtyard Room, but instead of a terrace there is a balcony and the windows overlook the surrounding streets and hotels.
Comfort Room - 23 sq. m.
Initially, we paid for the tour with accommodation in the Courtyard Room. What we didn't like about our Courtyard Room:
- tiny area
- strong sewer smell
- the room is dark, because the windows overlook the courtyard
- no balcony
- the air conditioner is located opposite the bed, which creates inconvenience
Having made an additional payment on the spot, we moved to the Comfort Room. The difference in room rates was $10 per night. We lived in Comfort Room 444 on the 4th floor. We liked the Comfort Room very much
The room has a hairdryer, safe, tea set with a kettle. The tea set was refilled from the bar. Every day they give out a small bottle of shampoo for each vacationer. Shower gel bought in the supermarket themselves. There is a small dryer on the balcony.

HOTEL BEACH
The beach is private, equipped within the city, pebbly. One of the best in Kemer. We've gone through everything. For the convenience of vacationers, the beach is equipped with ladders for descending into the sea and wooden decks.
The distance of the hotel from the sea is 50 meters. Sun loungers and mattresses are new and free for hotel guests. There are a lot of sun loungers on the beach and they are located comfortably relative to each other. Sun protection - awnings, which is much more convenient than umbrellas. The Blue Flamingo bar on the beach is paid.
POOLS AND TERRITORY
The hotel has 2 outdoor pools and a special area in the pool for children. There is a small but well-kept green area with gazebos.
RESTAURANT AND BARS
The hotel offers an all-inclusive buffet. The hotel has a main restaurant with an indoor air-conditioned and an outdoor area, as well as 3 bars, namely Barbarossa bar, pool bar. All local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served free of charge from 10:00 to 23:00. The Blue Flamingo bar on the beach is paid. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can get snacks at the Barbarossa bar from 11:00 to 17:30. Additional meals are prepared here for breakfast and dinner.
Upon arrival, I liked the food, but as the hotel filled up with tourists, it got worse and queues began to arise. The food is modest and not very varied. Fruits and vegetables are always available. From fruits at the end of June: apples, plums, oranges, grapefruit, pears, watermelon, melon, grapes. Seafood, beef and lamb were not often given. You definitely won't leave hungry. Grilled dishes are often served at the Barbarossa Bar for dinner. Because of the queues, we took two queues at once: here and in the main restaurant.
Drinking water available in bars. Bottled water is available at lunch and dinner. The minibar is loaded with water only upon arrival.
Some remarks: there are obviously not enough employees at the distribution, which is why there are queues. When distributing fruit, small plates are used (probably on purpose). Because of what, when carrying, the contents of the plates often end up on the floor
ENTERTAINMENT
At the hotel's spa, guests have free access to the Turkish bath, sauna and fitness center, and massage treatments are available at an additional cost. Other entertainment options include table tennis and billiards. There are discos in the evenings.
THE INTERNET
Free wireless Internet access in the rooms and throughout the hotel, including the beach. WiFi is connected individually for each device, for each number no more than 2 devices.
SERVICE
There were practically no complaints about the cleaning of the room. Towels were changed every day. The restaurant is also good. The service of the staff at the hotel was amazing. Several occasions. At night, when we were sleeping, the staff opened our room with their electronic key and entered the room to show it to tourists and did not even apologize. Second case. They hung up a do not disturb sign for a rest period after dinner.
Already fell asleep when they began to knock on the door in order to fix the air conditioner in the next room. It seems that staff training is not given enough attention.
