I chose the hotel myself, based on price and location. I read a lot of negative reviews about it and was ready for anything, since we were only going to spend the night at the hotel, and spend the rest of the time at sea and excursions. In the end, the hotel was a pleasant surprise. I did not find any cockroaches or a pile of garbage in it, as they wrote in the reviews. The air conditioner worked fine.
Location - 5-7 minutes to the nearest beach. Large pebbles, we did not pay for sunbeds, but probably they are paid. There is a better beach, with small pebbles, but it is further away - 10-15 minutes towards the stone bridge. It is wider and more space free from sunbeds.
There is a city beach, to which a bus runs on time, but we were not on it, so I can’t give information.
The hotel area is small, but cozy and beautiful, everything is green. The pool is clean.
The bar has coffee (I didn't like it), tea, Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite, mineral water, beer.
There are also stronger drinks (wine, vodka, crayfish), but in limited quantities and they are not always available. Sodas and beer are good, not watered down.
Breakfast: local salty-sour cheese, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, sausage (local sausage is half soy, not tasty, like in Turkish stores), vegetable salads, fruits (but not of very good quality).
Lunch and dinner are similar. What is not eaten for lunch and breakfast can be given for dinner. It's true. Stewed eggplant, mushrooms, broccoli, vegetable salads, salads from local sausages and sausages, pasta, potatoes, rice, pearl barley. From meat 1 time they gave delicious chicken skewers and grilled wings. There were chicken cutlets (probably semi-finished products, but I liked it), chicken meatballs are also delicious. There were cutlets not very clear from what)). They gave fried mackerel (normal) and other fish. Every day they gave watermelon (good). There was a melon (but not sweet). Grapes, peaches.
My husband always found something to eat and he liked it.
At the reception, they understand Russian well, but the rest of the staff do not (but this was not very embarrassing).
In the evenings there was music, you can hear it very well in the room. But I slept well. View from any window of the hotel to the territory. Greenery, swimming pool, beautiful).
Tours. On the way, our tour operator (Natalie Tours) scared us in every possible way with street tour agencies. We went on the first "free" tour from Natalie Tours for $ 15, which we were almost forced to go. The first 5-6 hours of the tour consist of visiting VERY EXPENSIVE stores (compared to other stores in Kemer). Jewelry center, leather center, souvenirs, textiles and something else. At least an hour is allotted for each store, during which annoying store employees follow you around and offer to buy various things. Lunch is included - (your choice of pide with cheese (delicious), chicken or meat and all the garbage that is on the table).
I was struck by the fact that the waiter, cleaning up after us from the table, sent the half-eaten bread back to the basket with the rest of the bread. In general, all this excursion people dully whined about the fact that they were tired of these shops. In the end, we were shown a very beautiful waterfall in Antalya, the old city and an ancient mosque. And boat ride 40 min.
The price ratio can be seen on the example of an excursion to Pamukkale (Very beautiful white slides with blue water. You should definitely visit there). The price from natalie-tours is $85 versus $35 from street travel agencies. We went on all excursions with the latter. We went on all excursions with the company HERO Tours. All prices are the same. I think the quality of service too. Therefore, I do not advertise this particular company, but you can choose any other.
Pamukkale ($35) Travel time is about 4 hours one way. On the way there were a couple of shops where we stopped for 30-40 minutes.
And they say about Russian tour operators that there is more shopping there, but I can’t say for sure, because. K. herself did not go on such excursions with them.
3 hours are given for sightseeing - white slides, ruins, Cleopatra's pool $ 18 (did not notice the effect in 20 minutes), an old theater. We didn't have enough time, but we still enjoyed it. Guide Ainura (Kyrgyz) speaks Russian, like other guides in this agency. In other streets, everything seems to be in Russian too.
Kekova. The ancient dilapidated Church of St. Nicholas + ancient tombs in the rock and an ancient theater. $23.
ATVs $20. About 1.5 hour drive. Extreme, we loved it.
Full day on the yacht. $15
Jeep safari. 20$. Didn't like it at all. No extreme, no beautiful views. This is the only tour I don't recommend you go on.
Water park 30 $
The big buses were all air conditioned. Small (like a gazelle) with open windows and when driving the heat was not felt.
Visited the Turkish bath for $15. We were assured that this was not a basement. Deceived. But from Natalie-tours it seems to be not a basement, but it is more expensive there.
On Mondays in the center of Kemer food market. Cherries for 2-3 $
On Tuesdays - clothing. I recommend visiting both. They seem to work until 7pm.
In the city center opposite the mosque and next to it there are 2 grocery supermarkets. The food there is cheaper than other stores. Also in that area there is a Sali Pazari store (cosmetics, perfumes, clothes, dishes, appliances).
Opposite the mosque there is a bakery with delicious hot baklava. But dear. 22 lira (440 rubles per kilogram. ). In other places, the soup is a little cheaper, but I can't be sure of its freshness.
Turkish delight at every turn. From 6 to 20 $ per kg.
In general, I will summarize: if you do not expect the service of a five-star hotel from 3 *, if you need an inexpensive rest and the hotel is just for spending the night, then you are here. There will be no chic food and a huge bar here.
We paid 3.000 r for two for 2 weeks with all inclusive meals, and in general I am satisfied with the rest and the hotel. And if you count on a larger amount, I think you can find a better hotel.
