Hello, we have just returned from a holiday in Turkey from the Melissa Residence. Impressions from the rest and the hotel as a whole are very good. A huge plus of the hotel is its location, almost in the very center of Kemer, there are many shops nearby, both grocery supermarkets and shops with clothes, shoes (LC Waikiki, De Facto, Flo, etc. ), a huge number of shops with souvenirs, sweets , textiles, etc. We are not fans of club holidays, but I note that within 1-2 km, there are nightclubs (Inferno seems to be not bad according to reviews). At 700 meters there is a city beach, and there is a hotel's own beach, located a little further (2.7 km) to which they take a bus back and forth every day for free (the schedule is at the reception). The sea is beautiful, very clean!
The hotel rooms are simple and comfortable, clean, have everything you need, cleaned often. The hotel offers a gorgeous view of the mountains, including the highest point (Tahtali, 2365m), where snow lies all summer, very beautiful.
There are no questions about nutrition, we never left hungry, the food is delicious

(the only thing is spicy, but these are the features of Turkish cuisine), in general, quite diverse, there is always the first, the garnish is mainly rice (very tasty! ), Potatoes, meat dishes, mostly chicken, and a huge selection of vegetables and salads! Very tasty desserts. The bar has wine (red, white), vodka, rake, draft beer.
A separate HUGE plus for the service, very good, friendly staff, many speak good Russian. Special thanks to the hotel manager Fahri Sekerci, friendly, sociable, fluent in Russian and English, always ready to answer all your questions and help solve the difficulties that have arisen.
In general, the impression of the hotel is very good, in our opinion, its 4 * is quite, but not a huge 5 * castle, but quite a cozy, well-groomed, small hotel, with a great location and mountain views, and wonderful staff.
P. S. additional information for those who are interested in various types of excursions, do not take excursions from hotel guides (very expensive, sometimes even 2-3 times overpriced), better from local companies (we liked Ginza travel), but when ordering, ask what is included the cost of the tour (specially check the entrance tickets).
