Kemer Resort Hotel

cool!

not too big, clean, good service

Falulous stay at Kemer Resort Hotel!!!

This was our first trip to Turkey and Mediterranean. And it was terrific!!! Thanks to Kemer Resort Hotel and its stuff! It is for sure is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Fascinating deep blue water of the Mediterranean Sea and gorgeous mountains on the background! Something I could only dream about! The hotel was beautiful, clean and spacious! Not too crowded. The animation team did a great job entertaining guests almost 24 hours a day! Pool games, belly dancers, ice-sculpturing, fireworks, etc. There was something interesting going on in the open-sky Amphitheater every night. The Gala Dinners (banquets) on Fridays were unforgettable! Most of the stuff speaks English, Russian and Turkish. The service was wonderful! All stuff was polite and super friendly! The hotel has a great pier which you can easily swim of. It is a lot better than getting into the water from the beach because the beach is pebble. Probably not the most pleasant thing to walk on barefoot for many people... :) Though, the water was unbelievably clear due to the pebble beach! Food was delicious and the variety was fantastic! Late lunch at one the pool restaurants was available until 4 pm. You can also make a reservation at one of the four A la Carte restaurants per stay, which was a very pleasant experience for us as well. Perfect place for a family vacation! We definitely enjoyed our stay a lot! We will certainly come back again!

Traveler's tip on recreational activities

You can get a very nice all day Yacht trip along the coast at one of the nearby travel agencies for only $15-20 per person. There are hundreds of agencies in the downtown Kemer which is just about 1 mile away from the hotel. Consider a few different agencies before making a final decision. Also be aware that merchants on the streets can be very pushy and sometimes intimidating.

Hotel under construction at the beginning of the season

Travel end of April 09: 1) indoor pool not open (hotel had electrical fire 10 days prior to arrival); 2) pier with lounge chairs that extends into the sea being redone/couldn’t be used entire time we were there; 3) had to wait in line for 20 minutes each morning to book a la carte restaurants. Indoor pool: would have been considerate of hotel’s management to inform guests ahead of time that pool would not be operational - we would have certainly changed our reservations. When we complained to management, they promised to look into when it would be open and also let us know if they would be able to "walk us" to another hotel. It took them 2 days to get back to us and only because we kept bugging them. They never even considered walking us to another hotel and told us the pool would be open "tomorrow". Well, great except this was day before we were to check-out; The pier - it would have been nice if hotel did upgrades prior to opening of season so that guests could actually use pier. Regarding a la carte restaurants - spending 20 min each morning in line to get a restaurant reservation is not what I want to do during vacation. The food in buffet was average and there was nearly no fresh fruit to be found. All we had were apples/oranges; strawberries found their way to the buffet only about half the week. The hotel has potential to be very nice. The facilities are good and most of the staff tries very hard. It’s unfortunate that hotel really doesn’t live up to level it should.
