But hotels also have their advantages. Delicious food, always full mini-bars, nice green area, excellent waiters, but the attitude towards customers from the service at the reception is simply disgusting. And what was in the spa is simply beyond words! So even their conscience allows them to cash in on such situations, they consider themselves right. I would have known that there was such chaos throughout the hotel, without thinking I would have called the police and filed a statement about an attempted rape! Whether you come to this hotel is your choice. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL. If such situations are allowed by the hotel, then this already says a lot.
1. Reception - they unloaded the luggage and loaded it onto electric cars, everything is perfect here, everything takes a very long time at the reception itself, they may not pay attention to you for a long time, in general, there is no joy in the face of those who meet it at the reception.
2. Room - we had a standard family, a little tired mini-bar doors, everything else is normal. In general, there are no complaints about the room. There is tea in the room, the capsule coffee maker is kind of like that, coffee is like that, but in my opinion it is like that in all capsule coffee makers, I have a bosh at home and the same burda comes out, but with a strong desire you can drink.
3. Food - we only visited the main restaurant, children's restaurant, steak house and restaurant at the reception, forgot its name. Everything is delicious, there is plenty to choose from, but I’m such a food for myself, i. e. omnivorous therefore I cannot competently evaluate probably. The children's restaurant has tasty and healthy food and there is nothing harmful for children. There are diet food and so on, there is food for kids. In the main restaurant, there is not enough staff, in my opinion, because the service there is so good or none, they came to us right away and everything is fine, on the second we have to look for someone to give out the instruments corny and so through time. The rest of the restaurants I've listed have good service.
4. Beach - we only went to the one near the main restaurant and the main pool, where half is covered with sand, half is sand only at the entrance. If you are with children, then I advise you to be located on the left side of the beach, where the sand is quite far away and the children will be fine. In general, if you have not been to Kemer, then be prepared that this is not the same sand as in Side.
5. The territory is all money, clean, well-groomed and mega green!!!
Overall impression of the hotel 9 out of 10. There were minor comments, from my wife, in terms of cosmetics, they did not ideally follow the presence, i. e. 1 time there was a moment when the hair conditioner ended. BUT you have a personal assistant, who in our case quickly resolved all issues. Separately, I want to note the kids club, this is a paradise for children, its own water park, its own restaurant, a large playground with swings, a labyrinth, a trampoline and other things, the territory is completely fenced. Children can be left and left, they will play with them, take a walk, feed them, but they will not be allowed into the water park without you, probably this is right.
In general, this is a good hotel for a relaxing holiday with children. I also want to separately note sweets, ice cream and coffee in Turks and Starbucks. On the territory there is a shop where you can find everything you need, the prices are adequate. There is a lot more in it, but I did not use it, so I will not evaluate it. For those who want better, go to Max Royale. All of the above is written from the experience of a family vacation with children, and it is in this version that I recommend it! There are no loud discos and lush parties, so if you are fans of this, then you are not in the right place : )
I really like the hotel: the territory, rooms, cleaning every day, everything changes, the bar is replenished daily, there are a lot of locations - the beach, pools, piers. The water park is great. A la carte restaurants are free to visit - it was a pleasant surprise for us (Italian - Edevre, Aegean cuisine and Turkish). Alcohol in all bars is imported, excellent cocktails.
Everything is very, very high quality.
Rested with two families 2 + 1.
Checked into the hotel quickly, despite the fact that we arrived early around 8.00.
Number 8 out of 10, nothing out of the ordinary.
The territory of the hotel is gorgeous, there is something to see and where to walk, the beach is good, large, clean. The food is very decent, of course I would like a larger assortment, but this is the problem of most hotels. Alcohol is really ultra, a choice for every taste, I have not even seen local alcohol here. The staff is great.
There is a variety of entertainment every evening (but this is all for an amateur, for example, I didn’t go to evening shows).
Of the minuses:
The rooms are cleaned badly, even if you leave a tip, nothing changes.
Before our check-out, the hotel was quite full and there were not enough sunbeds on the pier and near the pool, but this is more likely not a problem of the hotel, but the mentality of our people who leave towels in the evening and then do not come.
On this from the bad, perhaps that's all.
I recommend the hotel, it is close to Rixos in its level (but it all depends on the price). Would like to come back to this hotel.
Nobody writes overseas! About small brown jellyfish and sea urchins at the bottom of the beach. Jellyfish then sting not like a child) The staff on a boat with a net swim along the beach, trying to collect them. I already have 4 burns. Take allergy medicine and ointment with you.
About the entrance to the sea.
In advertising they write and show that the entrance to the sea is with sandbags, so I did not find them) even on a paid beach. You have to be careful not to break your legs. ) Stones, jellyfish, sea urchins. The water is clear and salty).
Regarding the service separately. In this hotel, I did not see tourists from Germany, France, Great Britain. Here Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and tourists from Eastern Europe. The Turks probably think that this will do for these people. I will not write for bathrobes in a room without belts, but how so! 3 bathrobes and not a single belt! Cleaning in general ahtung. At 8 in the morning they knock, they clean, then they don’t come anymore) The sets in the bathroom are not replenished. It's good that you took it with you).
Special thanks to Julia from Guest Relation, because no one has ever sent me on a "walking erotic journey". Like go ask yourself, otherwise she will have to pick up the phone and call! Julia Super!
The territory of the hotel is large and green. Pines, palms, eucalyptus.
If only the service could be improved and everything would be great.
For the money you can find a better hotel.
There were a lot of people at dinner, it was hard to find a place. After dinner, we were taken by electric car to our room (the cedar house was booked), we were very pleased with the room, it’s good that we didn’t save money and didn’t take the standard one, because the atmosphere in the cedar house is incredible!! ! In the morning we went out to the garden terrace with a cup of coffee, it was an amazing feeling!
The room has all the amenities, a hairdryer, a TV, mirrors, an excellent shower and toilet, bathrobes, slippers, towels, a coffee machine, a kettle, small and medium-sized cups, spoons, various types of tea, instant coffee, sugar, salt, plain water in glass bottles. The minibar was replenished every day (plain and sparkling water, energy drink, capsules for a coffee machine, fanta, cola, sprite, Efes beer, hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, chips, chocolates). Upon arrival, they give a bottle of dry red wine and a plate of fruit.
Room cleaning is generally satisfactory, bed linen and towels were changed every day, everything was neatly hung and covered, garbage was removed, bath accessories were always replenished (soap, shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion (by the way, by loccitane), washcloths, toothbrushes and pastes, napkins, cotton pads, cotton buds, there was even a set with pads and a condom, a set with shaving gel and a razor). However, they did not wash the floors and did not vacuum, they did not wipe the glass table on the terrace. Of course, this did not greatly affect our vacation, but I would like for such a price and the level of the hotel to have more complete cleaning in the rooms, especially since it is a privileged life, as they write).
There are three zones on the beach, a common beach with sun loungers and umbrellas, a beach with white pavilions and a beach with wooden pavilion houses.
On a common beach, you need to take a place before 8 in the morning, but we never did it, we looked like the main beach for a couple of days, we were lucky to find one free sun lounger and that's it, after that we rented a white pavilion on a nearby beach for 80 euros for 4 days ( we had a 50% discount, since we lived in a cedar house), every morning they gave out towels there, and provided a bottle of water, a plate of fruit and a cup of nuts, you could use the services of waiters all day, as well as dine in a nearby fish restaurant, which could not be done by others who did not rent this pavilion. This moment was very pleasing, it was convenient, given that we were vacationing with a small child.
The beach is dirty in places, various rubbish was lying around - cigarette butts, straws, bags, wrappers, etc. , which I consider unacceptable for a hotel of this level, which it claims to be.
The entrance to the sea is quite normal, comfortable, there is sand on the beach, there are stones in the sea, but they did not cause me discomfort.
Regarding the main restaurant of the hotel, we were generally satisfied, we really liked breakfasts and dinners, their lunches are boring, there are few hot meat dishes. For breakfast they have a large selection of eggs, pancakes, various jams, sauces, chocolate and nut pastes, different honey, as well as honey in combs, a lot of vegetables and herbs, from fruits we had watermelons, melons, apples, pears, bananas, figs , lime, grapes, large selection of sweets, most of them are very tasty, loved it, especially Turkish baklava and tiramisu!
There is also a choice for children and people with a limited diet - stewed vegetables, rice, buckwheat, bulgur, oatmeal, boiled beef, chicken, turkey.
Breakfast also included cereals with milk, muesli, cereals, rings, cottage cheese, yoghurts, a huge selection of cheeses, sausages, regular toasts and with cheese and sausage, a large selection of bakery products. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, soups of 2-4 types were served, but I did not try them. From drinks, coffee from a coffee machine is different, tea from teapots is already ready, or packaged, one day I saw how smoothies were made from fruits and vegetables, it seemed there were still freshly squeezed juices.
On Thursday we got to the fish day, there was just a cosmic assortment, crayfish, shrimp, red fish, as well as white fish of other species, spaghetti and pasta with seafood in sauce, on this day the chefs walked and sang in Italian throughout the restaurant the impressions are incredible! In general, we were satisfied with the food, but there are some minor shortcomings.
I did not like the fact that the main restaurant has broken dishes, which I consider unacceptable in a hotel of this level.
Also, at one of the dinners, my husband was brought in a dirty glass of whiskey and cola. With regards to alcohol and bars in general, I liked everything, delicious brut and wine, their local, my husband mostly drank local Turkish beer or Chivas whiskey, we are satisfied with the quality! Also on the territory there is a cafe with ice cream, we tried different things, we liked it, but it’s very sweet out of habit) there is a coffee shop next to it, next to which there is an amphitheater. We went to the show a couple of times, because it was hard to get to the show with a small child, but the shows that we managed to watch are quite colorful and interesting, after the disco shows, which we also didn’t manage to attend).
The territory itself is quite large, very green, so much beautiful vegetation, a view of the mountains, of course we are delighted with the view.
Next to the main restaurant there is a cafe where Turkish gozleme cakes are baked, we tried it with meat, cheese and spinach, they are very tasty, they also give out the Turkish drink ayran. According to our type of accommodation, we had the right to visit any a la carte restaurants, we signed up for Mexican and fish, we also wanted to go to a steak house (meat), but there was a full record, and therefore we didn’t get there, it’s not bad in Mexican, but I didn’t impress, but I really liked the fish one, I was glad that these restaurants have a children’s menu : ) we didn’t sign up for other restaurants, there were also Aegean cuisine, Ottoman cuisine, Georgian cuisine, Far Eastern cuisine. If we took more days to rest, then everyone would be happy to visit. We also visited a coffee shop in the main building of the hotel, delicious, coffee, tea and various sweets, there are very tasty tiramisu.
We allocated one day to visit the water park, there is also an aqua snack bar, which works like a water park from 11 am to 5 pm, the water park is not bad, we rode several slides, sometimes we dined at this snack bar, where you can order shawarma, burger, pizza , potatoes in foil with filling, fruits, vegetables, there are also drinks in the bar, as well as ice cream in a wrapper. We visited the Children's Club, which is more designed for children aged 4 to 12 years old, there is nothing to do with the little ones, the Children's water park is not suitable for a child under 2-3 years old, dangerous slides, food in the children's club is almost the same as in the main restaurant, only there you can additionally take a shelf mixture, yogurts, mashed potatoes in glass jars (no meat jars), packaged juices, there is also a blender and a microwave, I didn’t see anything unusual for a child there).
There is a spa on the territory, which we were actively offered to use, but their prices are too high, for peeling, massage and face mask 80 euros ...for me it is not justifiably expensive. There are also pavilions with shops on the territory: textiles, souvenirs, weaknesses, jewelry, leather and furs, there is also a Children's Entertainment Center (for a fee), you can rent a children's car there, play slot machines and bowling, we found out the cost of renting a car - 10 dollars, did not recognize further). There is also a cinema, we were not there. Regarding the pools: there are a lot of them on the territory, but basically they didn’t get to them, swam a couple of times in the main pool near the main restaurant, the one with sea water, the rest of the pools are located where people live, the closest one to us was near the minibar ( I do not remember the name), not a big pool, cozy.
We didn’t swim in others, since the territory is large and it makes no sense to even go to others, due to the fact that they are plus or minus the same.
We took one excursion on a boat along the coast, duration two hours, for two 80 euros, a child is free : ) we really liked it, showed us various famous hotels, and also swam in a cave. We did not take more excursions, as with a small child. From the anex tour, we had a free excursion to the Turkish shopping mall and leather / furs, they brought us initially in leathers / furs, which we were not very interested in, but you could also buy Turkish sweets there, which we did, and in the Turkish mall we we didn’t hit, because the child began to act up and we went back to the hotel.
The weather is generally good, one day was cloudy, the rest of the days are comfortable, very warm, we got a light tan, we swam a lot, the water is comfortable.
In general, they were satisfied with the rest, there are more pluses than minuses, but still, for such money and the level of the hotel, I would like to get what I want in full. Thanks to the hotel staff for their responsiveness and meeting the requested needs!
The hotel area is small but well maintained. In principle, the infrastructure is well established here. There are no complaints. Everything is fine.
Everything is fine in the room too. Well, except that I saw ants a couple of times)
I will say this about cleaning - they clean it here on average well. I do not agree with those who write that they do not clean. You just don't need to snuggle and leave 2 tips on the bed every day))
On the topic of staff, of course, everything is completely bad. Probably 90% do not understand either English or Russian. Even at the reception! ! For all 10 days I saw only a couple of people who understood and could clearly speak English. Many understand Russian, but there is no answer. Russian was spoken by guest relations, the girls in the kids club, the waitress and the one who gave out towels by the pool.
In English - guest relations (another person) and a bartender. All!
On the theme of the pool - he is here ONE. Really. Unless you have booked a cabin or family suite.
In general, with a standard number here you will have more disappointments than positive emotions.
About the sea, the beach - it is here, as it were, and, as it were, not.
So, the beach here is divided into two (three) zones. The zones are approximately the same width. Left - free access, a lot of sunbeds, "welcome to the scoop", Yalta 80-90s, those who watched "Just you wait" will understand)) Right - with "pavilions" - either a four-poster bed (50 euros per day) or a wooden house with minibar and sockets (80-120 euros per day). It is clear that in the right zone it is much freer. But not only that. Even in the right zone there is clean water and reclaimed sand - ideal for children.
There are more stones in the left zone. But the guys made a convenient entrance - they laid out the entrance to the sea with sandbags.
Although the last two days they have put some kind of apparatus on the left side, which, like, "washes" sand onto the beach or something like that. I don’t understand what, but the water is muddy 20 meters from the shore - it’s disgusting to enter the water. That's why no one went swimming today. And accordingly, everything is by the pool and there is no crowding.
Food is normal - delicious grill and fish. Pretty good baseline. No frills.
Why did I write that this is not "all-inclusive" ...Because really prepare about 500-1000 dollars / euros from above in order to spend them on the spot for normal recreation conditions. And yes, do not take the standard. Either a house (cedar house as they call it here) or suites. With them you will have a private pool, constant meals in a la carte restaurants (if available) and 50% discount on pavilions.
