Hello everyone! Just got back from there yesterday. I immediately decided to write my review about this hotel, because. read a lot before departure on this site. Rested with a girl from 13 to 20 March. Like many, they ended up there because of the impossibility of traveling to Egypt. In Turkey for the first time and did not plan at all. We were offered an "alternative" in Kemer and we agreed to take the risk. Operator - TEZ. Rest there and most importantly the weather exceeded all our expectations! Everything was great! So,
First of all, the hotel attracts with an excellent price, in the season it costs 2 times more. Seems to be 100% full. Of the entire vacation from March 13 to March 20, there was only one rainy day, and then we went with the guys from St. Petersburg for a walk to Antalya ($ 4, bus every 15 minutes). The rest of the time +25 and more in the sun during the day, we got a pretty good tan and I plunged into the sea several times - but it is very invigorating, it took a long time to decide) In fact, in the season when everything is open and everything works there, it’s probably just super, but the price is very high!
We met couples from Moscow and St. Petersburg, hung out together, good guys. Hello! We walked around the entire coast, it is not so big anymore. Many hotels do not work at all yet, only preparations are underway. in Kemer - a park, a bay with yachts, quite interesting.

The room was given at no extra charge standard with a view of the pool and a bit of the sea. There are some rooms with balconies, but they are very small. The hotel is very unusual in its architecture, service level. Everything is stylized like an Amsterdam street with houses and bars, very interesting. In principle, everyone speaks Russian, but I was even offended - I had to practice English only at the reception and a little in the city. This is the beginning of the season, preparatory work is underway, the beach is not equipped, so far only the foundation is from the pier. Tourists - half of the Dutch pensioners (although there were families), half - Russians, mostly young people.
The winter concept of the hotel includes 2 a la carte (one for free), a fast food bar, a coffee shop, a sauna, a hammam and a warm pool with a SPA, free of charge from alcohol ONLY gin, wine, beer, vodka, raki and all sorts of diluted juices. I really liked crayfish (local aniseed vodka) and gin and tonic) All other cocktails are for a fee. The main restaurant is very large, everything fit, the waiters work quickly. It was very strange for me to read before that reviews that they say there is little food, it is monotonous... Yes, there is so much food that I don’t want to eat! A lot of things! At first, everyone puts a lot of food on their plates and leaves half, then they become “smarter” and take as much as they can eat)... If you suddenly miss lunch, a fast-fub bar is open - you can always eat, don’t worry) The pools are big, but cold and unprepared - no one bathed in them. Bars are open until 12.00. At the disco - until 01.00. The DJ plays very cool club music, but the disco itself is a bit of a collective farm) Usually after dinner everyone gathers in the Grand Cafe, then someone moves to the disco. The Dutch hang out mostly at the Bulldog bar. There are 3 bars - in the lobby, in the grand cafe and bulldog. There were a couple of shows in the Grand Cafe, but there is no animation - not the season. What I liked compared to the same Egypt - excellent and fast service, beautiful nature - mountains around.
Shopping there can be inexpensive due to the off-season, but I have never seen so many left fakes in one place - here you can have any watch for 30 bucks, a Lacoste polo for 8 bucks with a crookedly glued crocodile, bags a la Dolce Gabana - cool) Paradise for fans of fake)
Their excursions were riding a quattro. You can take a funicular, Turkish massage, etc.
In general, we had a good rest. To everyone who planned to Egypt and does not want to overpay for Thailand or the UAE - wellcome to Turkey! P. S. I hope you are lucky with the weather.
