I'll start with the main thing: brought us to this hotel quite by accident. We were going to arrange a small weekend and suddenly got a tour for VERY good money - $ 400 for two, ALL system, 8 nights. We monitored the sites, of course, realizing that it would not be 5 *, but definitely better than the Crimea, which we have already been spoiled to the limit and do not want to, full of optimism and anticipation of rest flew to Turkey)))
Kemer met us with pleasant warmth and gentle sun, which was such for only four days. And then the heat began, and it was possible to be in the sun until 9 and after 17. I don’t understand vacationers who aspire to Turkey and Egypt in July-August. But as they say, to each his own ; )
So the hotel. In terms of cleanliness left a good impression. The room was clean, cleaned normally, the figurines were made, the air conditioner worked, there was no hairdryer, soap, shower gel and toilet paper were replenished constantly. The best rooms are on the second floor, where they settled us. They didn't pay extra for the room.

Territory for 3 * very personal, green, with a good clean pool. We, accustomed to relaxing in 5 *, for the first three days thought where we got and where our things were  Then - nothing. We decided to get positive emotions and enjoy the rest, we succeeded perfectly! There are no complaints about the hotel staff - friendly, welcoming, unobtrusive.
Food... I don’t know, maybe for 3 * it’s normal, but for us it’s terrible. In the morning - cheese, sausage, cucumber, tomato, olives. All. For lunch, dinner - 1 type of puree soup, 1 type of side dish, stewed vegetables or a little meat, salads from breakfast leftovers and a lot of greens (arugula, dill, parsley, mint and a bunch of local plants). Fruits: apple for lunch, watermelon for dinner. From sweets - jelly and jam. Every day is the same. There is simply no alcohol - diluted gin, non-alcoholic beer, local wine. Pour a little, took once for a sample. And so, they drank their own, bought in the dutik. Plates and cups are always chipped, but even those were missing. In general, without optimism - nowhere! One consolation - 400 USD for everything))) and there are plenty of cafes nearby, and supermarkets.
The location of the hotel is excellent, in the very center of Kemer. For youth, i. e. for us - that's it! All clubs nearby, parks, walking in the evening is a pleasure! This is not Tekirova or Goynuk, where there is nothing to do outside the hotel. There is no animation in Ares Club (or maybe we haven't seen it), except for disco music until 11 pm.
In general, the nature of Kemer painfully resembles the Crimea, but there is something to see in the surroundings, which we successfully and with pleasure did. The sea - this is a fairy tale !! ! Warm, turquoise, transparent - transparent! The beach of our hotel is 20 minutes at a leisurely pace. You can use the hotel bass for free. Sun loungers and an umbrella - 1 c. u. Rest in this place was enough for us for half a day. Didn't like the service, the audience, the pebbles. There, "ours" ordered a cold watermelon to the sea and a sunbed, and not finding a cold watermelon in a 45-degree heat, the poor, or maybe not the poor))) the Turks decided to pour ice on the watermelon slices with a mountain, and in this form serve ours to the sea . This picture should have been seen! ))).

So we went to the Moonlight park complex. This is a sandy bay with an azure sea and a huge park immersed in greenery, where there is everything: a zoo, a dolphinarium, swimming pools, a nightclub, etc. Entrance - 2 c. u. And it was also possible to safely walk to the beaches of 5 * hotels, because. there is no security there. This surprised me. As for vacationers in 3 * - this is, of course, good, but for me, vacationing in 5 *, this would not be pleasant.
Of course, we decided to diversify our vacation with excursions, and independent original ones (riding a yacht, camel, quad bike, etc. we have already passed, but Pamukkale is far away). Would love to rent a car, but didn't take a driver's license. Armed with information from the Internet and go! I will not describe much, and I have already written decently  . We visited a wild beach in the village of Cirali. Feels like on a desert island! Blue Lagoon! We got on the bus. To Olympus 5 c. u. and down to the foot of the mountain - 2.5 c. u. Entrance to the beach is paid, because. this is a protected area - 10 lira (accept only in lira). We also went to Goynuk to see the canyon. A minibus runs to the center of the village - 2.5 USD, and then about 4 km on foot to the canyon. Nature is amazing! To see the waterfalls in detail, you need to rent costumes. Like this. To be honest, exploring the surroundings on your own is much more interesting, some kind of freedom, and fun!
We got a lot of pleasure from the rest, but we don’t want to experiment with 3 * anymore.
Well, that's all told, and you decide how to relax and where. Have a nice holiday for you and us! )))
