A big surprise will be the view from the room: there are "restaurant view", "neighboring hotel view", and "you will all have a view" rooms, of course there are also normal views (pool/sea).
Savings - attic (there were complaints that it was hot, cramped, etc. ).
General characteristics: all rooms have a small area.
Renovation in 2019. Air conditioners are individual. The mini-bar is filled once upon check-in. Water is replenished daily. There is no tea set.?
One-time use of soap and cosmetics upon check-in (ear buds, cotton pads, nail file, shower cap). Next - liquid soap and shampoo in attached dispensers.
The towels are the only thing that was a little bad in the room - they have seen a lot, I hope they will be replaced in the new season.
Food. Standard, but there is something to eat. Deliciously. An excellent selection of fruits: watermelons, melons, peaches, nectarines, apples, pears, grapes, pomegranates, tangerines, oranges, plums. Very tasty grill for lunch and dinner.
Every evening there is a separate stand of Turkish cuisine.
Desserts are monotonous - biscuits with chocolate decorations, there was no baklava.
Alcohol is mostly local, although the hotel is powered by UAL. There was sometimes mulled wine in the evenings.
Ice cream service in the pastry shop from 11:00 - ice cream balls in a waffle cone.
Adequate snack bar near the beach.
There is no separate children's table. The child ate some dishes from the diet table.
And, thanks to the chefs, the hotel had chicken broth every day! The dream of many mothers on vacation)
Jams and Nutella both "in bowls" and in portions in plastic packages.
"Tsikavynka" restaurant works exactly according to the schedule, if you are late, they will tell you about it directly (finish, and they will start turning off the lights all around). Animation is active. Everything is banal, but many take part in both darts and water polo. Periodic disco on the pier after 23:00.
It follows that it is almost never quiet in the evenings. Closed windows save the situation a little.
There are evening shows, saved, but maybe the end of the season.
Beach: narrow, sunbeds stand in a row, canopies from the sun. Plenty of seats on the pier. There is a bar.
There is no open sea horizon in the central part of the beach - it is covered by piers on both sides. Be sure to pay attention to this.
West - pebbles. Often waves. However, on the other side of the pier, the west has been cleared and it is covered by a stone ridge, because of this, it is very comfortable to swim with children in that place.
Internet in the lobby is free. It can be taken for an additional fee in the entire territory.
There is a children's water park, a small playground and an even smaller mini club.
But due to its size and layout, the hotel is quite understandable for children.
SPA. You can visit the bathhouse, sauna, hammam, salt room and indoor pool for free until 18:00.
Bonus: the hotel's great location. Within walking distance are 2 large shopping centers, ATMs, Migros, a fruit and vegetable market that comes several times a week
Contingent: At first it seemed that I got into a program of Solovyov TV - in a bar on the pier, "experts" were talking about "Kakhlov and where is our place. " I almost burst into tears because I couldn't last a day here. But the next day it turned out that there are a lot of foreigners here: Poles, Lithuanians, Bulgarians, Germans, Czechs. And, of course, Russia, the best representatives of which are constantly hanging out in bars. I didn't sit in bars anymore. She took a drink and left. I did not hear the Ukrainian language.
A lot of Russian pop sounds by the pool. I left the hotel offers.
In general, the hotel is worth paying attention to. Especially if you take into account the price policy for it.
I can compare the hotel by level with Noxinn Deluxe, L'OCEANICA Beach, Grand Ring, Belpinar, Justiniano
Check-in: arrived in the evening, settled immediately, standard room, air conditioning, safe.
Sea: The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most beautiful seas we have ever seen. The beach is small, you need to borrow sun loungers in the morning. Entering the sea is not very convenient, since large pebbles were washed at the entrance, due to the fact that the sea is restless, it was not very convenient to go out along the waves and large pebbles. Therefore, from the second day I moved to sun loungers on a pontoon, where there are convenient stairs for descending directly into the sea.
Animation: I liked it, everyone will find something to their taste. Animators are not intrusive.
Meals: varied - poultry, fish, beef dishes, vegetables, a large assortment of fruits. We were in the Ala Carte restaurant, it was beautiful and tasty, but the impression was spoiled by a very long service.
Spa center: I recommend to start with a program that includes a sauna, hammam and massage. We ordered a massage course and were satisfied. The masseurs are professionals. I recommend to everyone. Not cheap, but you can bargain.
Infrastructure around the hotel: we had a lot of fun in the hotel, so we only went outside the hotel a couple of times. Through the underground passage there are streets with shops, a mosque.
Summary: I recommend the hotel to both young people and couples.
The first impression that makes the hotel, it looks neat, really keep clean. I think the reason is that the owner is here quite often. The rooms are a little worse off with this situation, but not critical, plumbing norms. However, as for the rooms, these were the smallest rooms in which we rested. So read the description of the hotel carefully, and do not think that you got close, they are all standard. Wi-fi, if necessary, is only full for $ 1 a day, and the quality is the same.
In the kitchen, compared to the previous hotel, you realize that filling the menu is cheaper (if the fish there was constantly chilled dorado / sea bass / rainbow trout, then there is frozen mackerel / some local fish). However, in general there are no complaints, everything was quite fresh and delicious, especially vegetables (eggplant, zucchini ...
) Desserts are also a good choice, sometimes a good rahat lukum. Very tasty pita bread was prepared by my grandfather at the grill, I recommend. During the day you will find a snack, kefir in the snack bar for bottling. Alcohol, however, is not very much, because it is local, but the wine was the norm for me, stronger than that.
The beach is a little big sand / small pebbles, with a pontoon it was more convenient for me to go. The sea is very warm, like the Red, in the morning cleaner.
Animation at a decent level, there are evenings with a good program. But I really didn't like the fact that with a large number of Ukrainians in the hotel, there are no Ukrainian songs in the playlist, although Turkish / English / Russian / even Polish, please ...Later I met the owner, he promised to take into account my wishes (actually not only mine, because I talked to my compatriots here).
Then, please write if our songs have appeared in the playlist for the pool and events near it ...who will come later)
I also liked that the sales season starts here at the beginning of August, then the family bought a lot at the local Time Center, the prices for clothes are really cool. And also in Migros buying high-quality rahat lukum as gifts. By the way, I recommend not to steam with cash, I paid contactlessly everywhere, it is very convenient, I also received cashback).
In general, I liked the rest, except for the nuance that he wrote.
I really liked the playground with Aqua slides - it was impossible to take the child away from there! Both children's and adult pools are regularly cleaned, the water is perfect.
A separate delight is PALMERAS BEACH SPA (@palmerasbeachspa). Real professionals, the massage is just fabulous. 5 days and you are already a completely new person. Insanely glad that the family came there immediately upon arrival. We are very sorry that there was so little time. For the future - we dream to repeat. Feelings after acupressure are indescribable - it perfectly relieves physical and emotional stress, blood circulation improves, the body becomes more toned. I never even thought that massage could have such an impact in a short time. You can literally see and feel the result after 1-2 sessions. Yunus, Taner, Ferhat - thank you so much! I recommend getting a massage with the guys from the bottom of my heart!
Guys ANIMATORS - just SMART! So much energy, positivity and great mood! Every day there is an interesting rich program: fitness, contests, entertainment shows - just keep up! In a word, SUPER! There is simply no time to be bored!
The holiday was unforgettable! We miss you very much and hope to see you again!

What did you like about the hotel. Presence of a safe in the room.
We have been many times in various Turkish and Egyptian beach hotels and only two of them had food at the same level as in Palmeras. These are the Apollo/Kemer and Sunrise/Hurghada hotels. All the negative reviews about food at the hotel are lies. Of course, this does not apply to people with an income like Bill Gates. For such people there is only one question: "Why did you come to rest in Palmeras? ". Of course, not everything is great. For example, gin and whiskey is just a good diluted alcohol, perhaps right in the hotel. That is, it is not necessary to talk about 5 * ultra, but at the same time excellent anise vodka, white wine, cream liqueur, martini, beer. For children, a small but wonderful water park, wonderful animation.
What we didn't like.
Distance from the airport. In the afternoon, various garbage arrives on the beach from a nearby river-garbage. Small rooms with low ceilings and poor plumbing. No internet in rooms.
The staff is friendly. The table was cleaned in time, not pulled out from under the nose. There was no rudeness.
Rooms were cleaned on time. I didn't even hide my wallet, I just put it in my suitcase. Nothing is missing. Rare shampoo came in a jar at a time. The same with the shower gel. They cleaned every day, even without a dollar.
The beach is clean. There were enough sunbeds until 9.00, then we had to go to the pier.
If adults, it is profitable because there is a bar on the pier, but deep for children.
The animation is great. Entertainment and exercise all day. Nobody gets bored. It does not stand above the soul. The children were very interested.
Of the disadvantages is not working salt room A La carte restaurant because of quarantine.
On the way out of the hotel across the street is a market and a large supermarket.
You can come back and come back. I recommend.
You can't complain about the food. There was meat, fish, pizza, cakes, fruits, vegetables, more than 20 types of cakes. And alcoholic cocktails for free - mojito, Baileys, etc. Ice cream for both adults and children from 11-00 to 17-00. You won't be hungry for sure! Well done animators.
We didn’t have children, but we specifically paid attention to the fact that everything is there for them and they won’t be bored.
The beach, although 50 meters, but no one was on their heads. There were enough sun loungers near the sea and near the pool.
What didn't you like? A large pontoon (there are 2 of them - ours and a neighboring hotel) because of which there is no beautiful view of the sea. The entrance to the sea is a small stone and immediately deep. If you can't swim, don't come here.
Despite the lockdown, we were rafting, riding buggies. Rest was a success. Cleanliness, order. The staff is noisy. I recommend this hotel. For the money, it's worth it (today it's somehow expensive).
