The three of us rested - me, my mother is a pensioner and my son is 16 years old. We chose the hotel according to our budget. For 7 days for 3 people I paid about $1000. We arrived at the hotel at 8 am. We were greeted warmly, immediately put on bracelets and took us to breakfast. Room promised to give about 12 hours. After breakfast, we went to the beach and when we returned, we were settled. Therefore, there are no complaints about the reception at all. The only thing is that when they went to bed after dinner, they began to work with a perforator in the corridor. I had to contact the administrator, they turned it off, but not immediately.
Now about the hotel. Generally not terrible, but there are nuances. Firstly, the room for three people is very small (a third bed was put into an ordinary double), the distance between the beds was 10 cm. The bed was clean, but dilapidated. One of the towels had a decent hole. The air conditioner worked fine. Hairdryer did not work, but after the application was repaired on the same day. Plumbing worn out. The view from the window to the mountains is beautiful. Residents 100% from the CIS countries. Most of all Russians. But since the hotel is budget, there were no drunken sprees. The food was ok. I can't say everything is delicious. But to be honest, for a 3 * very good. For breakfast, two types of cheese, 3 types of sausage, eggs, puff pie, sausages, muesli, jam, chocolate paste, watermelon. More for lunch and dinner. Chicken every day, once a week there was mackerel, soy cutlets and meatballs, 5-6 types of salads, some pickles (did not try), two side dishes, 6-7 types of desserts, 2 types of fruit (most often watermelon and oranges (delicious), sometimes plums and greenish apricots. We were not hungry. The waiters tried, there were enough free tables. Once we were late for dinner after the tour, then we patiently waited until we eat. We took beer (normal) and once wine at the bar (didn't like it. ) There were also drinks like oranges and lemons. Water and soft drinks are cool, freely available. The pool looks clean, I didn't swim.
The beach is far away (it is impossible to reach it in the heat). It took about 20 minutes to go by bus. There were 2 buses. The first 3 days to get to the beach was more or less normal, because they took vacationers from 2 hotels. And then they added another hotel and the horror began: a crowded bus is beyond my strength ! ! In addition, our former compatriots were in their repertoire! Seeing that people couldn’t fit on the bus, they pushed around with inflated mattresses and circles, the “young mothers” seated their 2-3 year old children in separate places next to them, those who were more insolent ran into the bus, pushing everyone aside and took seats for five people.... The sea itself is pleasant, but sometimes plastic and heads of corn floated. The entrance to the sea is small pebbles (you can wear slippers and without). There were enough beds.

Closer to the hotel there is a city beach with large pebbles, you can walk to it. But there are paid sun loungers, umbrellas and a lot of people. We went out to explore once.
Excursions. Since the meeting with the guide was scheduled the next day after arrival, we walked around Kemer and received information about the prices for the tour. Maybe that's why the prices for excursions from the tour operator were not high. I won’t talk about excursions, but I want to warn you - don’t take a free trip to the shops! Don't waste time. Nobody warned us that they would take us from Kemer to Antalya ! ! And in stores, prices in which are 3 times higher than in stores in Kemer. And be prepared that on all excursions you will be brought to shops and sold at exorbitant prices.
Summary. I won't go back there myself. But you can go to the hotel if the budget is limited. It is better to do this in September, when there will be fewer tourists.
