Hello : )
I am writing this review for those tourists who are trying to understand if this hotel is right for them or not.
I rested in this hotel on May 12 - 19.2021, just during the lockdown in Turkey. At that time, most of the hotels were empty, I think the hotel occupancy in general can be estimated as less than 5%, i. e. complete lack of people and tourists in general : )
I chose this hotel because it was the cheapest at the time of buying the tour. Upon check-in, there was a small moment of disappointment. There was only satisfaction
GENERALLY ----------------
The hotel has obvious disadvantages and pluses. I rate it as a good three
ROOM -----------
3 floors, no elevator. I had room B206, second floor. As far as I understood from the reviews, the rooms are different in condition and then how lucky. Apparently I'm out of luck. The room seemed to be cleaned, but there were 2 ear sticks lying right on the floor. How the cleaner could not notice them, I do not understand. I took them and threw them away. Water from the tap flowed in a trickle all week, did not close. There is no bath (and no need), there is no cabin, only a recessed floor in the place where the cabin should be.
In the bathroom, a container with liquid soap fell off the wall at the first touch. She had broken plastic fasteners. Apparently the previous guests broke and just for the sake of appearance they hooked her, like everything is normal. I pointed it out at the reception, showed a photo. But this problem was not solved, the cleaner came, took away the broken plastic container and put a glass of liquid soap : ))) So we lived for a week with this glass
There are 2 very large white towels in the room, which were not changed (and should not have been). Hairdryer working, air conditioning outwardly ugly, ngo worked well. But he blew directly into the bed, and this is unacceptable.
The closet is small and looks shabby. But enough for two people. This is a minus, but the weather does not.
In general, the room looks minimalistic and more or less neat, but the white table was brightly scratched and smeared with some kind of white spots, as if sunflower oil had been spilled and it had dried up. This, of course, immediately caught my eye and initially disappointed. But then I didn’t care at all, at home it’s the same : )))
Separately, I will say about electricity. It turns off whenever you leave the room. You are given 1 key. with a bar that must be inserted into the wall. While the bar is inserted, there is electricity. If you leave and take the key, the power goes out and you will NOT charge your devices while you are away, and you will NOT be able to leave the air conditioner to cool. This is a cost savings that is inconvenient. It sucks.
The room has 3 beds, each normal, can be moved, shifted. Room size is small. For two it is tolerable, for three it will be cramped. It makes no sense to hang around in the room. It is to spend the night or lie down to rest. You can sit on the bed with a laptop.
The balcony is small, there is a dryer, 2 old chairs and a small table. You can sit comfortably and contemplate a good view of the pool, the greenery and the territory outside the hotel - this is the only plus of the room against the backdrop of minuses
There were mosquitoes. Interfered with sleep, bitten. We must use the means to fight. Perhaps this is due to the time of visiting the hotel - May.
There is no cleaning in the room at all. Trash was taken out once. The rest had to ask to take out the trash or wash the floor. And this is with a small load of the hotel.
This room is the only dislike for the hotel. I had to come to terms with these unpleasant little things. But don't be afraid. The rest of the hotel is good. In fact, the minuses of the room did not affect the rest in any way.
Maybe I want too much for the money paid. But I ask the head of the hotel Ahmed - fix what is broken.
ACCOMMODATION ---------------
We arrived around 9 am and were seated immediately. Hotel occupancy was minimal. Since then, the number of guests has increased
HOUSINGS ------------
There are 3 buildings, I would say that it's like 2 small hotels that stand side by side. Buildings A and B are one hotel, building C is another. Building C is very different in design and stands, as it were, separately and has its own pool. C looks even more interesting than A and B, but it did not work and its territory was blocked, and in the reviews about it, mostly mats, because the numbers were killed. In general, C did not work and we are not talking about him
Buildings A and B were open. If I had not known about building C from the reviews, I would have thought that this is a neighboring hotel that has nothing to do with Ares Dream.
Two buildings stand in the form of the letter P inside which is a pool with sun loungers. Room balconies overlook the inside, view of the pool. Corridors with doors to the room are located, as it were, partially on the street, i. e. the corridor is like a long balcony. I rate this solution as good. Because when you walk along such a corridor, you always look at the street and the views are good there.
KITCHEN ------------
If food is an important source of pleasure for you to relax, then choose some other more expensive hotel with all sorts of suites. And I'm used to the most meager diet for the sake of maintaining health. For me, this hotel was like in paradise in terms of diversity : )
There was almost always something meaty, all sorts of simple salads (a few), a few sweets, sliced oranges, apples, some sour curd cheese, pasta, noodles, bulgur, sometimes rice, meat sauce, ketchup, white very pleasant airy bread, sometimes the same, but it was brown.
Separately, I will say that there was always soup. It's the first thing I ever put on myself. I often take supplements. They have 4-5 different soups. If they only had soup and bread, I could very well survive because their soups taste and feel great. Fat plus for soups
Nutrition IMHO is fully consistent with the top three and there are no complaints
Plates are often chipped. I noticed it, but I don't care. This does not affect the rest in general. The occupancy of the hotel was 20-40%, sometimes the plates ran out, but mostly there were enough of them and this did not cause any problems
DINING ROOM ---------------
There are 3 zones. 1 - this is a dining room, it is, as it were, on the ground floor, under the first floor of the rooms. Everything is fine in it, solid 3 stars. There are 2 outdoor locations in front of the entrance, fenced with a wall and with a canopy, i. e. in the shadow. They are good too. In terms of climate, it was good everywhere, there was no stuffiness, it was always comfortable. The chairs in the canteen and one outside location are comfortable for sitting when you are leaning over a plate, and if you lean on the back to sit and talk, it will not work - the back is flat and extremely uncomfortable. At the second external location, the chairs are different and they are comfortable, you can sit there with a laptop
TERRITORY ------------------
It's small, but it's there, and that's good. The territory is well-groomed, a ball with normal tables and chairs, a swimming pool with sun loungers, an area with greenery. There are a couple of palm trees, an orange tree, from which oranges fall loudly at night : ), cut grass, small trees and something like that. Pleasantly designed winding paths.
In general, the territory is small, but well decorated and constantly serviced. I like it
Somewhere probably from the middle of the day until 22 o'clock music plays, you can hear it well in the room. But the music is not aggressive, I would say it is the most suitable for the average tourist. I'm not a music lover, but it never bothered me. They chose her well, she created an atmosphere and helped to feel like a vacationer
2 turtles 20 cm in size were seen on the territory. Sits in the grass hawala leaves. And one small
Separately, it must be said about cats. And the hotel is full, mostly hanging out in the canteen, constantly walking between the tables and looking at you with plaintive eyes. The people feed them. In the rest of the hotel, they appear less, but are also always visible if you look around.
I believe this is a conscious policy of the hotel. Cats do not interfere and complement the atmosphere of peace. It has always been a pleasure to watch them in the dining room or from a lounger by the pool. Sometimes loud cries of cats are heard, they compete for food. funny
SWIMMING POOL ------------------
The length is probably 10 meters, the width is 7 meters. The depth is 150 cm. It is comfortable to swim, the water seems to be clean, the color is pleasant, there is a backlight in the dark evening and it looks nice. I swam with pleasure
There is no heating, the water temperature is normal at this time. There is a shower nearby, for some reason the water is cold there, but I washed there all the time after the sea. Although the water is cold, it is more convenient to slip in there than in the bathroom. And somehow as a whole more interesting - the surrounding area is pleasant and sunny weather. There are also toilets, they are clean and generally better than in the room
There are 30 sun loungers around, there are umbrellas, there are small tables with ashtrays. When the hotel was less than half full, there were always plenty of free sunbeds. Lying is comfortable. Radobm small shallow children's pool with a mini-slide. Children sometimes poked around there
As for a threesome, the pool is good
BEACH ---------------------
I have no idea which beach the hotel has. What they write about him in the reviews and about the bus to the beach, I can not confirm. Walking where I wanted
I suppose that their beach is a segment of the coast on the very outskirts of Kemer from the side of beldibi. If so, this is almost a wild beach, for me personally it sucks. I want to see beautiful hotels and landscaped areas around so I can enjoy the views when I swim. But this is a matter of taste.
During the lockdown, there were many empty territories on the banks of Kemer. I put a blanket on the stones and that's it. And personally, I generally lay on the stones and received a healing effect. Any sun loungers on the beaches of Kemer are, of course, paid, I don’t know the specifics
There are no free beach towels. There is money. I don't know how much, I have mine with me. When we left, we were offered to buy such a towel with us as a keepsake, the price was $6. dark brown
ATTITUDE----------------
For a week of rest in this hotel, I never had a drop on the brain on the topic of covid, although there is a hard lockdown in Turkey. Nobody is asking you to wear masks. In short, a complete zero, and it's nice. I came to forget about the difficulties and inconveniences of everyday life and this hotel allowed me to do it
In the canteen, the attitude is friendly, empty plates disappear from the table immediately, the guys watch this and often smile. They joke around with each other. Overall the atmosphere is comfortable
By the way, it became interesting to me, but when the hotel employees have a personal life. They are at work until 22, and in the morning from 6 they are already at work
LOCATION --------------
The hotel is located in the village of Kemer. Not in the center, but somewhere in the middle between the center and the outskirts in the direction of beldibi, along Ataturk Boulevard. I would say that the location is certainly not ideal, but still quite good. There are 2 ways to the sea, diagonally to the right longer than 15-20 minutes with pleasant views and to the left straight short 8 minutes, between two hotels, boring
I left the hotel and immediately the road, buses run, so you slow it down and go where you need to go if you want to go to kirash or goynuk canyon. Or you immediately start walking around Kemer. Both sides of the street looks nice, plus great views of the mountains
RESULTS -----------
I rate this hotel as good. If I happen to visit it again, I agree
When I left, I had 4 $1 bills left from the change. I gladly went and distributed them to the gardener (he worked all day on the territory and was friendly) and the guys in the kitchen. I believe that these workers are doing the right thing. In the conditions of great competition and damned covid, they help the tourist to forget about the difficulties of life and have a good rest
