The location of the hotel is great. everything is nearby. we chose only 1 line. sea +27. wonderful water. You can do without corrals. but with them it is more comfortable to enter the sea. you can buy it for 8-10 dollars. the beach is narrow.

The location of the hotel is great. everything is nearby. we chose only 1 line. sea +27. wonderful water. You can do without corrals. but with them it is more comfortable to enter the sea. you can buy it for 8-10 dollars. the beach is narrow. If you want to lie in the shade, you need to take a sunbed before breakfast. we didn't have any problems. we swam every day from 6 am. Check-in, as everywhere else, is from 1.00. if rooms are available. then immediately. We didn't pay anything extra. room 305 with side sea view. Large balcony in every room. There are strings everywhere for drying swimsuits. very comfortably. The door on the balcony is double. If it is not closed the air conditioner does not work. Sound insulation is good. There are 3 nightclubs within 50 meters. music all night. The bed and towels are snow-white. Cleaning upon request. Towels are changed upon request. at least every day. If you don't look for dust in the corners. then everything is fine. A Russian-speaking woman at the reception helps in all matters. works at a spa. all the staff are friendly too.
felt comfortable. vacationers from Russia. Ukraine. Turks. Poles. Bulgarians. Kazakhs. The food is monotonous. chicken and beef every day. but everything was very tasty prepared. 3 times there was fish and shrimp. The chef is a diamond of this hotel. We took sea excursions. Any agency is 2 times cheaper. than the guide. Super. travel through the lagoons. you go to heaven. In the evening we walked around the city with prices for all space. We had a great time. The nature of Kemer is simply a fairy tale. We had a night flight. We used all the services to the end and do not cut off the bracelets. Water is provided only on the day of arrival. Then we poured it ourselves into the bottle from the cooler

It's just awful ! What Chukchi write positive reviews? This is not a Hotel - but an Ordinary Hostel for refugees! The only plus of this hostel is located on the first line, 20 meters from the sea and its own beach. The beach is narrow - 3 rows of sunbeds, about 50 sunbeds in a row, in principle, enough for everyone, but you need to take a seat on the first row until 7 am.

More MINUSES! The biggest downside is the food! There is NO normal food! The impression is that we ended up in a collective farm canteen in the USSR !! ! I have not seen such a meager assortment in 20 years anywhere! In the morning all 20 days - 4 dishes... boiled eggs, a terrible sausage, some tubes with last year's cottage cheese. and incomprehensible porridge and cold french fries... (one Eggs - Hot)... and so all 20 days! For lunch, only 4... 5 dishes, the same meat, stew, sometimes they gave fish... For dinner - something that they didn’t eat for Lunch. The whole distribution of hot... is 2 trays 2 meters long, in the room next to it there is a distribution of salads and other nonsense... these are 3 stalls 3 meters long, the entire assortment is repeated every day... from fruits - these are watermelons, grapes... sometimes melon. Standard sweets, no frills. On Saturdays, for dinner in the dining room, a holiday - something is fried on an open fire, once a whole PIR happened - they brought tuna (about 1.5 meters) . . and fried... In general, you will not see Turkish national food here!
But most importantly - because of the small distribution - this is a real queue for soldering - Everything is like in the USSR! If you come later for lunch, you can stay hungry, lunch at 12.30, once we came at 13.15 - all four pans were empty, raised a scandal - out of nowhere appeared A whole pan of ready-made, freshly fried fish, and such juicy fish for 20 days there was no more . . in the evening this fish was not there !! ! It can be seen that in the Kitchen they cook something for themselves better !! ! That's why EVERYONE tries to come to the beginning of breakfast, lunch and dinner first, hence the queues - ala hello from the USSR!
Next - BAR - this is a stand 2 meters long, one coffee machine (constantly breaking down), 3 vats of juice... and a machine with fanta cola, and one tap for Beer - and here the Queue !! ! Some for coffee, some for beer, some for booze. The most important feature of this Hotel is that drinking water is not brought to the room, it must be poured into bottles in the bar itself. so everyone goes with bottles... like camels, for lunch and dinner. straight super!! ! Everyone who works in a bar - in Russian, not in the tooth with a foot! The head of the restaurant is bald in white pants, walks with an important look... (but doesn’t decide anything) he just looks so that they don’t come to the distribution ahead of time !! ! - also not a word in Russian! Only 2 people speak Russian at the reception, the girl Nuna and the young guy Murat. It's nice to talk to them!!!
Housekeeping - to be honest, complete go. . o ! The staff is also in Russian, not a word! It seems that they clean it up... but they won’t hang up the towels . . then they will forget to put the paper. then the floor will not be wiped well, even a dollar on the pillow does not help... In this Hostel there are constant problems with water, it is really cold in the morning and afternoon... it only heats up in the late afternoon, but it can stop flowing from the tap at any time in the evening ! After 5... 10 minutes appears! You stand soapy in the shower and wait... Another Minus !!! ! Near the Hostel there are 3 night clubs and one night restaurant on the beach, from here until 3 nights there is always music !! ! In addition, opposite is a piece of free beach... and there drunken pigs come to swim at 3 in the morning and yell, so the news of the hotel bathes with them! So you will only sleep on the beach!
In general, this Hotel deserves the maximum name of a Hostel or hotel....even one star is a lot here !! !

We rested in Valeri Beach from August 25 to September 3 with the whole family (children 3 and 14 years old, my husband and I, grandparents). Everyone was very pleased, both the older generation and the younger. The hotel fully deserves its 4 stars. And the very location of the hotel, clean and warm sea, friendly and sociable staff deserve all 10 stars))) The guys at the bar and the chef is just.

Everyone was very pleased, both the older generation and the younger. The hotel fully deserves its 4 stars. And the very location of the hotel, clean and warm sea, friendly and sociable staff deserve all 10 stars)))
The guys at the bar and the chef is just. Always with a smile on your face. The food is simple but delicious. There was always a choice: fish, turkey, chicken, nuggets, fresh and stewed vegetables, cheeses and much more. Barbecue for dinner. Alcohol is also in a decent assortment (analogues of martini, baileys, malibu; gin, vodka, beer, red and white wine). Special thanks to bartender Faruk for delicious cocktails and good mood.
The general manager of the hotel is a good fellow, he always kept order and that all guests were satisfied.
Chose the hotel for its location. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with a sea view, it's awesome! To the center of Kemer 5 minutes on foot. Pedestrian street and lots of shops. Do not forget to buy churchkhela, very tasty!
Upon arrival, you should definitely visit HAMAM. You can just warm up for free. And quite inexpensively, the guys will do spa treatments and cool massages. And they are great to just chat with. Nedim and Sherzot are fluent in Russian, they will tell you everything, a warm welcome and mood are guaranteed!
After dinner, music is always played by the pool, those who wish to dance. The bar is open until 22:00. There was no extra animation, but we didn’t need it.
The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Plumbing is not new, but this is not the essence of the rest. Cleaning every day. The room has a hairdryer, refrigerator, air conditioning. When the balcony is closed, the noise from the street is not heard.
The beach is clean, there are always enough sunbeds for everyone. The keeper of order on the beach - well, a very nice uncle))) The sea is clean and sooo warm. The kids didn't get out of the water. The beach is pebbly. For those who are uncomfortable, you can buy special slippers. But we were fine. Beneficial foot massage
The only drawback in our opinion is that paid wi-fi is excluded everywhere. Although not critical. $10 for 10 days. You can switch from phone to phone, but at the same time there can be only one person on the Internet.
If you are going to enjoy the sea and communicate with good people, and not look for dust in the corners, then you are here! Here you can relax with any composition and even alone.
If we go to Turkey next year, then this is the place!! ! I RECOMMEND.

The hotel corresponds more or less to its 3 stars, good location, on one side of the sea, on the other street with shops, near the center. Food is not super quality, but the choice of dishes is quite large: chicken nuggets in breadcrumbs, chicken gravy, mackerel, garnished with rice, pasta, potatoes in tomato paste, olives, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, pickles cabbage, cheese.

The only thing that disappointed me was the girl manager of the hotel, there was an incident with this girl manager during the settlement: she forced us to speak only Russian! ! ! ! ! How can you leave such an incompetent person to receive and accommodate guests!

Rest during this period. The hotel corresponds to the quality and price. Rooms are good and cleaned every day. They cook delicious. I wish there was more meat and fruit, otherwise everything is fine. The staff is kind and helpful, if something is needed, they always responded responsively and did everything to make the rest a success.

I will say right away - the hotel is not 4, but 3 stars (although all sites write that 4), the hotel workers themselves told us that the hotel has 3 stars... The hotel is located on the 1st line, almost all rooms overlook the sea, but... be careful - there is another building that is located across the road, and this is no longer 1 line.

The hotel is located on the 1st line, almost all rooms overlook the sea, but... be careful - there is another building that is located across the road, and this is no longer 1 line... The sea is super, almost immediately the depth, pebbles - not suitable for children! The beach area is not large, when all the rooms are full - there will be problems with sunbeds... Wi-Fi is paid!! ! $10 for 7 days. . . Food - as for 3, normal, almost no variety, fish was 2 times, meat - chicken, nuggets, sausage, lasagne a couple of times. . . vegetables were both raw and grilled . . For men, I think it will not be enough...
Drinks only by the standards and 1 dose per hand, they saved on everything (beer, wine, gin - of poor quality, it is better to take it with you) and what angered me most of all was that there were no napkins !! ! It was a shock for us, at a time when the quarantine!! ! Cleaning was every day, there was a refrigerator in the room, water was given only 1 time - 2 bottles in a 3-bed room... Kuller was at the bar, so you had to ask to get water in a bottle... Nobody swam in the pool, water was cold. . . Animation is not at all. . .
The owner of the hotel is unpleasant, inhospitable. . . We were settled right away, as there were 20 people in the hotel. . . Summing up, I will say that the hotel is most suitable for pensioners, as it is calm and quiet. . . The price does not match the quality , we have a comparison. . . The biggest plus is the sea and 1 line, good location (10 min. from the center).

In September 2018, my family and I rested at the L'ancora Beach Hotel, 4 *. This hotel was very noisy. We learned about the Valeri Beach Hotel and that it belongs to the same MINE HOTELS chain. We decided in 2019 to relax at the Valeri Beach Hotel, 4 *. Booked a holiday with "PEGAS TOURISTIK" in November 2018.

We decided in 2019 to relax at the Valeri Beach Hotel, 4 *. Booked a holiday with "PEGAS TOURISTIK" in November 2018. We arrived at the hotel an hour after leaving Antalya International Airport. Check-in takes place after 14:00. We sat in the lobby of the hotel and waited for check-in. Rooms are released at 12:00.
Very calm and quiet hotel. Mostly elderly couples from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland have a rest. There are also young couples, couples with children. Tourists from Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan. The hotel is small, 4 star category. We occupied two rooms. One on the 3rd floor, 420th, and one on the 4th floor, 506th. The balcony of room 506 offers amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea, Kemer Marina and the mountains. Room cleaning was decent. Great chefs. Lovely young waiters. Nice guys work at the bar. The hotel has a swimming pool with a depth of 1.4 m.
Very close to the children's pool (paddling pool).
The hotel is located on the first line, very little walk to the sea. There are enough sunbeds for everyone. Vacationers bathe in the sea from 6:00. The only negative, in my opinion, is that there are no teaspoons at all. Of course, this is not critical. My son bought teaspoons from the Ozdelek hypermarket in Antalya. We were on a tour in Antalya. And in the shopping center "Ozdelek Park" we had lunch. In the evenings, live music plays at Valeri Beach Hotel, 4 *. From television programs 1, NTV, Russia 24, TNT.
We stayed at the hotel for two weeks. The safe in the room was not used. The cost per day is $3. Wi-Fi is also paid $3 per day. Near the pool there is a coffee machine and titans with boiling water and brewed tea. You can always drink fine Turkish coffee or Turkish tea. On the lower floor there is a billiard and tennis table, as well as a hammam. Hamam was not used.

We just returned from this hotel tonight - we were from 18 to 28 July. Before the trip, studied the reviews - there were both good and terrible.

We just returned from this hotel tonight - we were from 18 to 28 July.
Before the trip, studied the reviews - there were both good and terrible. Conclusion: you don’t need to read reviews, but go and see for yourself, and always with a GOOD mood!
And now in order.
We arrived at the hotel around 10 am - we were immediately sent for breakfast. We left our bags at the reception, after breakfast we changed into Hamam and went to the beach. We were able to check in an hour early at 13:00 with no extra charge. And check-in according to the rules at 14:00 is a single rule for all hotels! Room 501 on the top floor, corner, bright and very large about 4x4 meters. Air conditioning worked great - even froze sometimes. A little trick: since you have to take the key card with you, the electric power in the room is automatically turned off and the air conditioner and refrigerator stop working. Instead of a key, during our absence, we inserted any card (business card or discount card) that was suitable in size - the air conditioner is on, the room is cool, and the refrigerator does not turn off.
We were given a room with a view of the sea and mountains - the view is gorgeous. Unfortunately, nightclubs also rumble from this side - but the door on the balcony is double, so it's not critical - you work up, get tired and sleep normally.
Bed linen is clean and NOT torn! During our stay, we changed it 2 times - every 3 days, but several times we refused to clean ourselves, as we were in the room at that time. Cleaning was done EVERY day, towels were changed every 2-3 days without reminders, There were no problems with shampoos and shower gel either.
Well, maybe we are not so picky - we don’t look for mold on baseboards (we can’t do anything with a humid climate), we take everything easier, we don’t pay attention to small household appliances... At the expense of shabby metal parts - humidity and salt do their job , and corrosion corrodes everything around.
They didn’t take the safe, at first they closed everything of value in a suitcase with a lock, and then they stopped removing the laptop from the table altogether.
We didn’t use Wi-Fi, bought a 10 GB SIM card, and distributed the Internet to ourselves on our other devices (two phones and a laptop) - but we are not tied to the hotel, and we have Internet anywhere.
With food, too, everything is in order - there was always something to eat: chicken, fried quails, chicken heart, chicken stomachs, turkey, lamb, fish, kebab. In addition to rice, the garnish included bulgur, pasta, baked potatoes, stewed vegetables - beans, bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts. The soup was quite decent - lentil, rice, peas, there was even a real borscht. Every day there was a large selection of pastries and sweets, fruits - watermelons, melons, plums, apricots.
Everyone writes that there is no meat, the sausage is terrible - in principle, there is no normal sausage in all of Turkey! People, what do you understand by the word "meat"? - beef and pork? Didn't you know that they don't eat pork in Turkey? You won't find pork in a Muslim country in principle! Have you seen the prices for beef? - Do you know how much it costs in Turkey? At least four times more expensive than in Russia and only happens in EXPENSIVE hotels? ! Are you going to an inexpensive hotel and waiting for mountains of kebabs, steaks and barbecue? You, by the way, did not come to 5 *!
The bar has always had a good attitude - they did everything you ask. By the way, the beer was Tuborg - they themselves saw how the kegs were unloaded, and in other hotels they pour Ephesus. There was always ice in the bar too. Imported alcohol was not seen - we did not need to.
At the reception, they always talked to us politely and respectfully, resolved any issues at once, even allowed us to take the scales to the room for weighing luggage before leaving.
The guests of the hotel were not only from Russia, but also from the European Union - for example, Serbia, Poland, Latvia.
There is no animation at the hotel, but we don’t need it - we didn’t come to the hotel to sit all the time, but to walk, sunbathe, swim in the SEA (and not in the pool), go on excursions and enjoy your vacation.
We have never encountered a rude or boorish attitude - everyone is extremely polite and diligent, and the owner of the hotel constantly made a detour of the hotel and the beach.
The most important thing: the SEA is gorgeous, transparent, warm, crystal clear! The sun is shining, the weather is great!

With food, too, everything is in order - there was always something to eat: chicken, fried quails, chicken heart, chicken stomachs, turkey, lamb, fish, kebab. In addition to rice, the garnish included bulgur, pasta, baked potatoes, stewed vegetables - beans, bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts. The soup was quite decent - lentil, rice, peas, there was even a real borscht. Every day there was a large selection of pastries and sweets, fruits - watermelons, melons, plums, apricots.
Everyone writes that there is no meat, the sausage is terrible - in principle, there is no normal sausage in all of Turkey! People, what do you understand by the word "meat"? - beef and pork? Didn't you know that they don't eat pork in Turkey? You won't find pork in a Muslim country in principle! Have you seen the prices for beef? - Do you know how much it costs in Turkey? At least four times more expensive than in Russia and only happens in EXPENSIVE hotels? ! Are you going to an inexpensive hotel and waiting for mountains of kebabs, steaks and barbecue? You, by the way, did not come to 5 *!
The bar has always had a good attitude - they did everything you ask. By the way, the beer was Tuborg - they themselves saw how the kegs were unloaded, and in other hotels they pour Ephesus. There was always ice in the bar too. Imported alcohol was not seen - we did not need to.
At the reception, they always talked to us politely and respectfully, resolved any issues at once, even allowed us to take the scales to the room for weighing luggage before leaving.
The guests of the hotel were not only from Russia, but also from the European Union - for example, Serbia, Poland, Latvia.
There is no animation at the hotel, but we don’t need it - we didn’t come to the hotel to sit all the time, but to walk, sunbathe, swim in the SEA (and not in the pool), go on excursions and enjoy your vacation.
We have never encountered a rude or boorish attitude - everyone is extremely polite and diligent, and the owner of the hotel constantly made a detour of the hotel and the beach.
The most important thing: the SEA is gorgeous, transparent, warm, crystal clear! The sun is shining, the weather is great!

First, briefly about why we decided to opt for this hotel. Firstly, since the rest is only a week long, we thought that a hotel in the center of Kemer within walking distance from discos and a promenade would be just what we, a young couple, needed. Secondly, knowing that in multi-building hotels there are various troubles when checking in, they settle in older and dead rooms than shown in the photo of the more modern main building.

First, briefly about why we decided to opt for this hotel. Firstly, since the rest is only a week long, we thought that a hotel in the center of Kemer within walking distance from discos and a promenade would be just what we, a young couple, needed. Secondly, knowing that in multi-building hotels there are various troubles when checking in, they settle in older and dead rooms than shown in the photo of the more modern main building. Is it familiar to many? Therefore, we specifically chose a hotel with one main building.
We were brought to the hotel around 13:00. At the reception we were greeted by a young guy Aslan and a girl Sonya (Turkish by nationality). Both speak Russian well. Immediately they put bracelets on us and offered to go to dinner. Realizing that there was still at least an hour before check-in, we calmly went to explore the territory. It's really quite small. From the hotel lobby there is an entrance to the dining room, where snacks are arranged. From the dining room there is an exit to the street (to the pool), hot dishes are already on display there - soup, several second courses. Nearby there is a bar where various drinks are poured. In the dining room, the doors on both sides are always wide open. There is no air conditioning in this room. Therefore, even in the afternoon heat, you will have to eat at natural temperature. And yes, there are flies too.
Approaching the reception after 2 pm, we asked when our room would be ready. To which, with a face full of regret, we were told that there were no rooms available in this building and, ! Attention! , we will be settled quite nearby in another building (this is a surprise! ). But they promised that maybe tomorrow you can come up with something. Yeah, they know how to serve breakfast at the reception notably. We made it clear in every possible way that we would thank them if today we were settled properly. But they stubbornly said that everything is busy today. We realized that we were wasting precious time and went to see what they offer us in another building. It took about 7 minutes to walk along the cobblestones with suitcases. During this time we crossed 2!! ! roads, that is, the building is on the third line instead of the first promised. Can you imagine our shock? Silence Park was written on the building itself, apparently they bought the building from another hotel (see photo). We had to wait downstairs until the room was cleaned, and now, after 10 minutes, we went up to the 2nd floor, rattling our suitcases (what kind of elevator is there! ).
The room turned out to be very small - you open the door and rest against the bed. Judge for yourself - the length of the wall is such that it is enough for only one bedside table and bed, the second one no longer fits and stands separately. The room also has a closet that blocks the window, again, because the area does not allow it to fit properly, a table with a bedside table, where there is a mini-fridge. When we plugged it in, it got hot and began to emit a scorched smell. I had to say goodbye to him. Also in this room was a balcony overlooking the neighboring hotel. Quite spacious, but without a single chair or table. There was also a TV, but it was located on the wall next to the bed, that is, it was only possible to look at it while standing near the balcony door)) We checked the channels - only Turkish. The air conditioner worked and it was very important, because the temperature outside was +40. The bathroom turned out to be more spacious - see the photo. Renovation in the room is fresh, good. There was always hot water. Bed linen, towels and pillows were white and clean.
From the positive: the room is clean, in good condition, but small - there is nowhere to place suitcases, we had to step over them to go out to the balcony. There was hot water and the air conditioner worked. Linen and towels are white and clean.
From the negative: remoteness from all the charms - the sea, the pool, the dining room, etc. Refrigerator didn't work. Well, who cares - there were no domestic channels and it was inconvenient to watch TV sideways. Our number was 606.
The next day we had an appointment with a tourist guide. Upon learning that we were settled on the third line, our guide Anna (representative of Pegas Tourist) contacted the main office and talked at the reception. They understood that it would come to the management and with the words “we talked to our managers and we have a room for you”, they gave us the key to the room in the main building. Do you understand how spoiled the impression of the hotel after such troubles? Elementary time is lost for dragging suitcases, collecting and unpacking things that could be spent at sea.
We got room 320 with a view of the neighboring hotel. The room is spacious enough. Separate beds, 2 bedside tables, large table, large closet, safe (for an extra charge). The balcony is medium in size, there are 2 chairs and a table, there is also a hanger for drying swimsuits. But the most important thing was that you could see the sea)) The bathroom was not as spacious as the previous one, but does it really matter when you live with a sea view? Photos of the number are attached. The air conditioner worked well too. The TV this time hung in front of the beds. There were Russian channels TNT, Russia, First, Ukrainian - 1 + 1, Tet, Unian. There were no musical ones.
What an unpleasant surprise we found while living in this building is that hot water is available only during the daytime. Once, having come in the evening from the beach, I had to wash my hair under cool "summer" water. The reason for this is the water heating system - these are barrels standing on the roof and heating up all day under the sun. You won’t take a shower in the morning either, simply because it hasn’t warmed up yet. And in the evening - because all the people have already used it. So the only opportunity to wash from salt water was only during the day (before dinner).
From the positive: the room is spacious, you can freely place all things. Linen and towels are white and clean. View from the balcony. All equipment worked.
From the negative: you can not wash at any time of the day.
Now about nutrition. The hotel offers 4 meals a day. You can see the time in the photo.
Breakfasts. If you are not dying of hunger, then it is better to oversleep it. Worst selection of food. If you are ready to eat eggs / scrambled eggs / omelettes daily, then please. But by the end of the holiday, you can crow with grief. And if you eat it with salted feta, then the sea will seem sweet in taste. This is the problem of all available hotels in Turkey. And the more accessible the hotel, the poorer breakfasts.
Dinners. Valerie offers only one soup to choose from, i. e. there is no choice, it turns out. Usually we met in hotels always 2 soups for lunch. Of the minuses of the dining room - the dishes are not signed. I had to ask the guy who stood at the distribution. But several times he himself said that he did not remember what kind of fish, for example, and incorrectly said, calling millet rice. From the soups for the week we met: cabbage, "Russian borscht", kefir (omaygad) or yogurt, as the guy at the distribution called it, from the most normal - lentil and tomato. From the main courses: spaghetti, pasta butterflies, french fries - this is almost always there, 1-2 times came across - stewed zucchini, eggplant with minced meat, potatoes baked in foil, 1 time caught - stewed spinach, chickpeas (can be seen in the photo) . Also in the dining room itself you can choose salads from greens and vegetables without dressings, salads with mayonnaise, olives, zucchini, as well as desserts in the form of small Turkish cakes and fruits - watermelon, melon, plums.
Afternoons. Never went to them. Once for lunch we tried their desserts - rare disgusting, tasteless dough soaked in sweet water. We decided it would be better to buy baklava and Turkish delight at the market and eat real Turkish sweets and not spoil our stomach with this rubbish.
Dinners. As always, the most varied and dense meal. At 19 o’clock a huge line of hungry people line up) From the assortment there were chicken wings and legs, grilled fish, some flat cakes pressed from minced meat in gravy (I don’t even know what to call it), veal pieces met once, again the same pasta is stable, millet mixed with pasta, french fries, zucchini and eggplant sometimes.
The highlight of the dinner, which is also an entertainment program, was Turkish music set on a laptop. Sometimes it was turned on so loudly that vacationers had to talk at the tables much louder. Well, Turkish music itself, who knows, he will understand, leaves deep wounds on the soul and heart))) Fun is still something! Well, the truth is, why would tourists put such a aching sad man, from which they want to escape as soon as possible! Even the older people weren't having fun. Nobody ever danced. There was not even a presenter who could put on songs. In short, there was no such atmosphere that I wanted to stay longer there. We had dinner and left. We noticed that it was customary here not to stay up after dinner, but to walk along the embankment along all the hotels on the first line. Animation in this hotel is not even in the evenings. I have no idea what disco the previous commentators wrote about. We sometimes heard Russian music from the room, but this pleasure did not last long.
Bar. How much in this word) But the bar in this hotel is not at all the place that brings people together, where you want to sit and meet other vacationers. A very strange discovery for us was that the bar can only be used near the pool. It is not allowed to take drinks to the beach, because there is a paid bar on the beach. No matter how many times we walked past it, there was never anyone who wanted to buy anything there. And who wants to pay $ 4 for diluted Turkish alcohol cocktails. Photo attached.
The bar closed at 22:00. We saw that people were sitting there later, but either with drinks taken in advance, or with their own alcohol. By 11 p. m. our hotel was completely quiet. Only at a couple of tables were people playing board games, some just chatting.
Internet is paid, for those who are interested, the price list is in the photo. We, personally, used roaming and did not regret it. The Internet worked very well always and everywhere. On the first day, they could have been completely without communication if they had not taken care of it in advance.
Vacationers. This hotel is not youth at all. Proximity to clubs does not make it so. The main composition is people of mature age and pensioners. There were not many families with children. Probably because children in this hotel can die of boredom, there is no entertainment for them at all. Young about 10-15% of the number of residents. Of the vacationers were Russians, Ukrainians, many Turks (the number of parked cars at the main entrance confirms this), Balkans, Slovaks, Germans.
Hammam. Surprisingly, it is here) It is located on the -1 floor. We went down there to get beach towels. By the way, the information sheet of the hotel states that towels are issued for a $5 deposit, but this is not true. At the reception, upon request, we were given cards to exchange for towels. We were told you can change towels every 2 days, but this is a scam to wash them less. Several times we came across really good towels, and twice with huge holes - torn out embroidered Kemer inscriptions on the sides. Maybe someone really needed them as a souvenir)) But the star of this hotel was not these holes on the towels, but the masseuse Angela - a nimble old Odessa woman. How she skillfully wormed her way into our confidence on the first day of our arrival, took us “warm”, so to speak. Immediately she began to advise what we should do in order to move in, she said that she would solve everything and talk at the reception with whomever she needed. She began to advertise herself that she had no equal prices, that people from other hotels came to her, that her hands were so strong and that she knew how to do peeling correctly, while pulling my hand, then she poked her finger into the shoulder blade and into thigh - oh, you have clamps here)) She told where we should go and what to buy from whom, without forgetting to mention her name, they say there will be a discount) For a massage with peeling, she set a price of $ 20 per hour. We agreed that we would record after the move. Wanting to feel the full power of her hands, I signed up for the day for the allotted time. What was my surprise when she appeared (belatedly) and said that it would not be her who would massage and peel, but some pot-bellied bath attendant, justifying that she earns only $ 1 on this. I said that we did not agree, got up and left. How long did she persuade me to stay, that she would give me a massage tomorrow. When asked how much a clean massage without peeling would cost - $ 20. I ask - time? In response, a booming laugh that no one works for half an hour for that kind of money. And in general, she doesn’t look at the time - how much her hands work, she does so much, can you imagine? )) Then she blurted out that it was about half an hour. In short, the self-promoting masseuse turned out to be an ordinary barker. How much we didn’t see her later, she only approached the vacationers and scratched her tongue and lured everyone to massages. And yes, walking along the promenade along the hotels, we saw a price tag of $ 15 for a hammam and this is in a hotel richer and higher class than Valerie. So be careful and don't fall for these liars.
Beach. The sunbeds are arranged in 3 rows. There was enough space for everyone. If you do not come early to take a seat, then you can lie in 3 lines. There were a lot of sun beds occupied with towels, which did not wait for their owners. Such is the mentality of our people. In the information sheet of the hotel in the last paragraph it says that if the towels are left for more than 2 hours, they will be collected. That is why such an important point is not respected! ? None of the staff cares about these towels.
The pebbles on the beach are quite large. Easy and graceful to go into the sea will not work. A lot of people bought silicone or rubber slippers for themselves and swam in them. The beach is not for old people and children, that's for sure. The sea is clean, as in all of Kemer. You sail about 30 meters from the shore, look at the bottom - and you can see all the huge stones at the bottom. The sea is the only and most important plus of this hotel. But read the reviews carefully, in Kemer there are beaches with smaller pebbles.
Leisure. Since the hotel is located in the center, we did not deny ourselves anything and did not depend on anyone. If you want to go to a disco - 3 minutes walk. Walked along the embankment to the square and fountains. We went to the shopping street. To get around it, one evening is not enough. We talked with all the merchants, they are very nice people, ask for discounts, come to them again, and they will make them for you. We also took an excursion from our tour operator to The Land of Legends - the best Disneyland in Turkey - water and roller coasters (they are really very cool), dolphin shows, an evening show of acrobats, a Venetian performance, as well as hundreds of shops and all this on the territory of one hotel - had an unforgettable time.
Let's summarize. For some reason, on various information sites, this hotel is listed as a four, but this is not so, this is a real three. And if you live in a building on the 3rd line for the whole rest, then why not a deuce at all)) So there are no complaints about food and room - everything is a well-deserved three. But the unscrupulous hotel staff took away our time and nerves. As we were later told, there are enough free rooms in the hotel, but they are reserved for local Turks, who can swoop in at any moment and pay with keshik. Of course, they expected a bigger catch than we did with our paid housekeeper.
I'm deducting a score:
- lack of hot water around the clock,
- for personnel who exceed their authority,
- for the atmosphere, especially in the evening - despite the fact that the majority of vacationers are Slavs, they “amused” us daily with their Turkish music. In all hotels it is customary to have a Turkish evening once a week, but here you will be forced to listen to it all the time. I don't mind Turkish music when it's a beautiful show, not when the same thing plays from the speakers.
I do not recommend this hotel to young couples, you will have nothing to do here, look for fun in other hotels. In addition to the fact that you can walk from the disco, you won’t find more pluses. Also, families with children will also feel uncomfortable here - there is no playground and place for games. This hotel is for middle-aged and middle-class people who cannot afford a higher class hotel - with better food and more territory.
We were brought to the hotel around 13:00. At the reception we were greeted by a young guy Aslan and a girl Sonya (Turkish by nationality). Both speak Russian well. Immediately they put bracelets on us and offered to go to dinner. Realizing that there was still at least an hour before check-in, we calmly went to explore the territory. It's really quite small.

We also took an excursion from our tour operator to The Land of Legends - the best Disneyland in Turkey - water and roller coasters (they are really very cool), dolphin shows, an evening show of acrobats, a Venetian performance, as well as hundreds of shops and all this on the territory of one hotel - had an unforgettable time.
Let's summarize. For some reason, on various information sites, this hotel is listed as a four, but this is not so, this is a real three. And if you live in a building on the 3rd line for the whole rest, then why not a deuce at all)) So there are no complaints about food and room - everything is a well-deserved three. But the unscrupulous hotel staff took away our time and nerves. As we were later told, there are enough free rooms in the hotel, but they are reserved for local Turks, who can swoop in at any moment and pay with keshik. Of course, they expected a bigger catch than we did with our paid housekeeper.
I'm deducting a score:
- lack of hot water around the clock,
- for personnel who exceed their authority,
- for the atmosphere, especially in the evening - despite the fact that the majority of vacationers are Slavs, they “amused” us daily with their Turkish music. In all hotels it is customary to have a Turkish evening once a week, but here you will be forced to listen to it all the time. I don't mind Turkish music when it's a beautiful show, not when the same thing plays from the speakers.
I do not recommend this hotel to young couples, you will have nothing to do here, look for fun in other hotels. In addition to the fact that you can walk from the disco, you won’t find more pluses. Also, families with children will also feel uncomfortable here - there is no playground and place for games. This hotel is for middle-aged and middle-class people who cannot afford a higher class hotel - with better food and more territory.

Vacationing with my wife. Not the first time in Turkey. Selected through a travel agent. The tour operator was PEGAS Touristik. Upon arrival at the hotel at approximately 18:30. at the reception they said that we had to wait about 20 minutes, because our room was being cleaned, although the check-in at the hotel was from 14:00. After 20 minutes, we approach the reception and they tell us sorry there are no places, we will accommodate you in the Villa for two nights, the villa is located on the second line, 200 meters from the Valeri Beach Hotel. There is no kitchen in the villa, you need to go to the hotel to eat. They settled us in a room on the third floor, under the very roof, the heat was unbearable, the air conditioner, although weak, worked. A huge cockroach was found in the room. The floors in the room were dirty. After meeting with the guide the next day, fruit, wine and free wi-fi were offered as compensation for the rest. After two nights, we were moved and asked to write a statement that we received compensation in the form of fruits, wine and free WiFi and we have no complaints, but at the reception they only gave us the password for Wi-Fi, and they said they would bring fruit and wine in the evening. Naturally, there were no fruits in the evening. For two days, several times a day, he approached the reception and asked about fruits and wine, but only on the third day they brought them to us. There is no bar on the beach from the hotel.
The only plus is the clean, transparent sea.
