I will describe my own impressions of this hotel.
The territory is relatively large and well-groomed;
The location is good, not far from the center of Kemer. If you wish, you can walk around the village, visit shops, cafes or nightclubs. Private pebble beach of decent size.
Guests-95% of Russians;
The room is shabby but clean. We lived as a family of 2 adults and 1 child in the Hotel Family Bunk Bed room (in a large building). If the room was relatively clean, then the building was a mess and dirt;
The pools are ordinary, but the presence of garbage both at the bottom and on the surface just infuriated !!!

Food is a separate conversation. People who wrote about slaughter feeding were either disingenuous, or they were not resting in this hotel. Primitive, monotonous, not always fresh, and most importantly, the food "laid out" for distribution in a limited amount was depressing. Of course, sweets, salads and fruits are the strong point of any hotel in Turkey, but completely non-salted fried fish and meat are Santopia's calling card. A la carte restaurants are generally a mockery of people. The meager portions were served at such large intervals in time that one could fall asleep right at the table. Nothing special to taste. I generally keep quiet about local alcoholic drinks - heh. nya is complete;
Animation is great for kids. I watched many kids - most liked it, the kids were delighted. Young animators constantly played with children and one could be absolutely calm for their children. For adults, hotel animation performances are not very interesting, which cannot be said about visiting artists - sometimes there were very wonderful performances. The disco in the hotel sucks. If you want to break away, I advise you to visit nightclubs located in the neighborhood. For example, "Kristal", entrance for guys is $ 15, for girls it's free. Quite decent music and excellent mood will be provided to you.
In conclusion, I want to say that if my review seemed too critical to you, then these are just my own impressions. If it were not for the wonderful sea, nature and breathtaking views of the mountains, we would have fled the hotel without waiting for the end of the holiday. If you are used to cleanliness, tasty and varied food, good service, then I would not recommend this hotel to you. I think the main reason for the shortcomings of this hotel is the contingent of guests. Unfortunately, vacationers from the CIS countries are less demanding on comfort than their Western counterparts. Accordingly, the service for our brother is different. We want to spend our next vacation in Marmaris. According to the Turks themselves, the service there is at the level, and the nature is excellent.
If you have any questions about the hotel, excursions and what you need to bring from Turkey, I will be happy to answer.
