In general, they were satisfied with their vacation in Turkey. Turkey 3 times. My husband and I are 30 years old. We traveled together. We didn’t plan a trip, we bought a ticket a week in advance, because July - August is the high season, and for 7 nights the most unfavorable price (but we didn’t have a choice by day), for 9 nights a 4 * tour was cheaper than ours in top three of the same network.
The RIVERO PARK 3 * hotel and Rivero residence 4 * belong to the same owner, so 3 * residents can go to the animation and use the bar (only soft drinks) from 20:30 to 23 h, you can use the 4 * territory all day for $ 10 , but I don’t see the point in this (during the low season they wrote that it was free). Also from 4 p. m. you can use the 4 * bathhouse for free, but the full hammam will cost $ 25, on the street you can buy the same service for $ 10. Further, everything is in more detail.

Hotel

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Kemer (one of the last), but this is even a plus, because you can not hear the screaming music from the center. 15 minutes walk to the center.
The hotel itself is small - 3-storey plus the basement (there are rooms, a dining room, access to the pool); on the 1st floor there is a reception and access to table football and billiards, there are also rooms. 2nd and 3rd floor - rooms. WiFi is free at the reception, but in the rooms that are above it, the Internet also catches well. Balconies in every room (don't know about the basement). The pool is located next to the bar. The bar is open from 10 am to 10 pm.

Number
We were put into a room with a double bed above the reception. I didn’t sleep the first night, because I heard every passing car, which I was very unhappy with. On the second day, I didn’t pay any attention to it and slept like a “killed one”, and the road is clearly not as active as our highways, so it’s normal. The room is 18 squares, everything is standard, only there is no refrigerator (previously there was always a refrigerator in triples, but now there is no refrigerator in order to save money).
The room is renovated, clean, the bathroom is even large for a triple: a shower, a toilet, a washbasin, a hairdryer, a mirror with a shelf (only our shelf was cracked, so we didn’t put our jars there). They reported the cracked shelf right away so that they wouldn’t roll out the bill to us later, didn’t repair it, but they didn’t present the bill either. The water in the shower did not go well, but there was no stagnation. Cleaning was carried out daily (wiped the floor, put toilet paper) Water was brought daily at 0.5 per person. By the way, there are no interruptions in hot water, the air conditioner works well. There are three channels of ours on TV (Russia, STS, TNT). Wardrobe, but there are only 2 hangers. The air conditioner is directed directly to the bed, so the bed was moved to the window. There is a table and two chairs on the terrace where things were dried. Safe paid 1 bucks per day.

By the way, they talked on the beach with the residents of Rivero 4 *, they said that they got a room without repair and they were not relocated anywhere, because the room did not suit them.
And from the animation, they said that they didn’t really care. I can’t say anything myself, I haven’t been to animation.

Nutrition.
On the first evening, they came an hour after the start of dinner, but then I was upset, because I chose the hotel, in addition to everything, for food so that the man could eat. But the next day my opinion changed completely. Everything is fine, just come to the beginning of the meal))) The food is chic for a 3 * hotel. For breakfast: eggs or scrambled eggs, fresh vegetables / vegetable salads, baked tomatoes / peppers, fruits / sweets, porridge steamed with boiling water. Lunch: delicious soups, mashed potatoes, chicken / fish, soy meat or sausages, vegetable salads, fruits, sweets. Dinner: everything is the same, only there is no soup. There was only one time in 7 days when there were only soy sausages from meat, the rest of the time chicken / fish. So no one will go hungry. There were, of course, some comrades with the needs of a 5 * hotel, but there was not enough money, so they snorted.
But for me (I was both Turkish 4 and 5), the food for 3 * is very good. The cooks and waiters are just smart.

Beach
Go to the beach 1.1 km (marked by mi bend) at a time of 13 minutes at a fast pace. The bus runs every hour, but it is packed like herrings in a barrel, so we went to the beach. Sometimes they went back, because it's a little hot to go. The beach strip is small, because we came right after breakfast at 8 o’clock, there was always enough space for us. The bay is picturesque: everything is green, around the mountain. We just liked to swim to the buoys and look at this beauty. They went into the sea without slippers, there is a bridge for entry, someone buys slippers. You can go a little to the side, and there the entrance is generally wonderful. The sea is clean and warm. From the hotel there is a machine where you can pour juice (soluble) and water. Nearby there are paid bars.

shopping

A 15-minute walk towards the center is a tower (the main landmark of Kemer), if you turn left from it (direction from the sea) after 300 meters there will be a mosque, there is an LC Walkiki store nearby, you can buy gizmos there. They wanted to buy a light shirt for my husband from local merchants, so he asked for $25 for it, in the store you can get these for $5-10 (25/4o lire), we took 2. For women's things, I found a little of my size, children's clothes are also a decent choice. There are 2 more stores of this network: one on the local "arbat" towards the sea, and the other is closer to the entrance to Kemer.
Towels for the beach bought for $ 1 like.

Currency exchange
In DUTY FREE the prices are in euros. We took bucks with us. You can pay with bucks, but then they consider it at a favorable rate for them, but very unfavorable for you. In exchangers, the exchange rate is not the most profitable ($1 - 4.5 or 4.7 lira). As it turned out, it is most profitable to change in the store
L. C. Walkiki. You give them bucks, and they give you change in lira at the exchange rate of the Central Bank (if the exchange rate was 4.
5, then in the store we considered the course 4.9). There is also a supermarket across the road from the mosque where you can buy a bottle of water for 1 lira, and they will give change in lira, even if you give them bucks, and the rate is also more profitable than in exchangers.

Where to go / go.
You can go to clubs. Entrance is always free for girls, sometimes 5 bucks for men, depending on the party.
You can just walk along the promenade, it is wonderful.

Uphill hike. Since the hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, there is a climb to the mountain with a picturesque view nearby. If you stand with your back to the entrance to the hotel, then you need to go left, go through all the buildings and walk another 40-500 meters along the highway (there are no footpaths, but you can go along a specially equipped drain - here is the path for you), then you will see a dirt road to the left of the highway path uphill, you go there. the climb takes an hour, but the sight and smell of the pines is worth it.

Yacht. We always take a trip on a yacht in street travel agencies.
The price is $8-15 depending on the agency. but in fact we were all brought to the same yacht, the program is the same and the food complex is the same, so there is no point in overpaying. It's called a pirate yacht. So bargain.


Hamam. This bathhouse should be visited 1-2 days after arrival, because then the entire tan will be scraped off. In Rivero 4 * and the operator it costs 25 bucks per person, on the street you can bargain for 10 bucks. The set of events is the same. In the bath itself, they can offer a super scrub for another 10 bucks, I didn’t take it, someone took it, the choice is yours. How many times I go to Turkey, I always go.

Israel. On a serious excursion with transfers or flights of berms from a tour operator. It's scary to take on the street. I will not write in detail, whoever needs it, write, I will answer. I can only say that we are very unhappy with the hotel guide Daria - a proud, pompous girl. She didn’t really tell anything, and even ripped off us more than the guys from Kemerskaya 4 * drove, but God bless her.
But the ride is great!

P. S.
Will I go to the hotel for the second time ....I will go if the price tag is 50 thousand ))))
I just want the same hotel, but closer to the sea.
