The hotel is the best hotel in Camyuva (Kemer).
For the first time in Turkey there were two families with a small child (1 year 10 months).
Rested from 08/01/2014 to 08/12/2014.
We arrived early in the morning. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes from the airport. Upon arrival at the hotel, the main building (at 10:00 local time) was met, everyone put on bracelets and was given one room (with a child). The second room was given closer to the first at 13:30. (Choosing rooms is a difficult task: some are noisy during the day from the aerobics pool, others from evening animation (if not their own, then certainly from another hotel)). This is a problem for all Camyuva hotels (the hotels are 2-3 meters apart). We were late for breakfast - we went to check the snack bar: we fed the child normally and had a snack ourselves. After changing clothes and immediately went to the sea. Walk 2-3 minutes to the beach. (100 meters).

SEA: beautiful, clean, warm sea. The entrance is deep (after 5-7 steps already above the roof. Therefore, it is very difficult to enter the sea (everyone with children swim near the shore). This is probably the main drawback, but in Camyuva the whole coast is like that! 16 in the afternoon (entrance to the sea is free. The beach is large (there are enough sunbeds and mattresses for everyone at any time, maybe not in the first row). There is a bar on the beach: soft drinks, ayran and beer, ice cream (2 times a day), watermelon (2 times a day), potatoes, delicious flatbread. Sports grounds (darts, archery and guns, gymnastics, volleyball, mini-golf,... ) Animators every day from 10 o'clock on the beach start with exercises and then according to the program... Beach towels are provided by the hotel and can be changed twice a day.
ROOM: small: room, balcony, bathroom with toilet (towels, hair dryer, shampoos, gels…), TV. Safe for $2 per day.
TERRITORY: almost none (hotel building, small swimming pool with slides, paddling pool for kids). Children's club (in the building, playground (slide 2x3 meters and two slides and two swings for the smallest ones), football ground (but except for 2-3 kids I didn’t see anyone there), shop in the building, amphitheater (evening animation. Two bars and a restaurant.
FOOD: Varied: fish, chicken, turkey, vegetables. Their fruits were watermelons, melons, plums, grapes, oranges, peaches. A lot of sweets. Everything is delicious. Everywhere there is dry wine and strong wines (whiskey, gin, even cognac (more like chacha), beer. There are no liquors - accordingly, there are no cocktails. Coffee and tea are always available in bars and restaurants.
STAFF: Everyone is friendly and helpful. There are almost no problems with the Russian language; everyone knows the mandatory minimum: how are you, good morning,... , bon appetit... the names of drinks and food.
ANIMATION: Yes, even envy from other hotels. But there is something to compare with (after Tunisia - this is nothing). In general, everything was according to the program: water aerobics, gymnastics, tournaments were held in pong, bocce, darts, volleyball, etc. Evening animation: Turkish, African and Chinese theater of acrobats and dancers (from students) move from the hotel to another (in the evening, someone is louder than anyone! - hotels are nearby). Once a week - live music from the 80s with dancing on the territory of the additional building (there is simply no place here).
EXCURSIONS: vouchers were taken from TezTour. We took an excursion to Pamukkale, Demre-Mira-Kekkova and a boat trip. I liked everything very much. But the tour operator plans trips to shops everywhere (pumping out money) - in shops in Kemer and Camyuva the same thing, only 2-3 times cheaper.

DISADVANTAGES: deep entrance to the sea, hotel buildings like at home on Nevsky (on top of each other), no territory. Expensive.
LIKE: THE SEA: The water is clean, velvety, warm, just a fairy tale! Yes, and the nature is beautiful - on the one hand the mountains, on the other - the sea, interesting vegetation.
Conclusion: we looked at almost all historical places. I will only go back if there is no other choice.
