Hello everyone))) I will write right away that we rested only in Rixos, hotels Amara Wing and Amara Dolce Vita (ADV). We just decided to try something new. my review may not be liked by fans of the hotel ...but I will write it, with pluses and minuses ....

CHECK IN: We arrived at the hotel closer to five ...no one met us. Things dragged themselves as much as the 4th floor. A trifle, but not pleasant. 4th floor, this is the last floor of the hotel. There was such stuffiness in the corridor that I thought the roof would go. The air conditioner was just turned off for a while. The room was not bad. The room was overlooking the sea and the pool. The hotel has 90% of rooms with sea views, 5% with views of another hotel (animation yells from someone else's hotel) and another 5% of rooms with views of the highway and mountains, but they are without a balcony and a window, as I understand it, they are boarded up with narrow boards (( (but I won’t say 100%), ask your managers. We booked a DBL and they gave us such a room, but there was one large bed. I was with my mother (i. e.

e two adult women) and we had to sleep on the same bed. I went to ask for a room with separate beds, because I thought that we were sold SNGL for the price of DBL, but they explained to me that everything is correct ...just need a note on the voucher (or tell the receptionist) that you need two separate beds or 1 large bed for two . It's just that we were in other hotels, so there were always rooms with two separate beds. In the middle of the rest, we were moved to a villa with 1 large hall and three bedrooms in each bathroom and there was also a large kitchen with a large refrigerator, which greatly cools the water. Plus 1 more separate room at the very entrance to the villa. There was also a swimming pool for 6 villas and a hammock. For the residents of the villas there was a mini-restaurant where you could have breakfast. Room cleaning once a day. But someone was cleaned 2 times and they were still given sweets).
Comparison: in Rixos, in block B, the rooms are small, old and not very comfortable.
I liked the rooms in Vogue and ADV.

TERRITORY: The central building offers a beautiful view of the sea and the pool. The hotel itself is large, but a large area is given over to villas (between the villas there are banana paths. It is very interesting to watch how bananas bloom) there is also a path near the beach between the villas where you can take a walk in the evening. BUT walking and nowhere to sit down, only on the pier on wet mattresses or at a table near the bar. There is a zoo, but to be honest, this is loudly said, so a couple of chickens live there, ducks 6 puppies with parents) and a labrador, and 3 more goats). There are ponies that you can ride. You can walk with dogs, take them out on a leash. For example, in Amar Far East, there is a large zoo: peacocks, flamingos, ducks, mountain goats, many rabbits that live in holes, horses.
Comparison: ADV territory is huge, but not comfortable, you have to walk far.
In Rixos, the territory is the smallest, but more compact and looks like a park area, with hammocks and benches. There is a territory in Vogue, but there is a LACK of benches anywhere ...only near the amusement park, and then there are only three of them.


FOOD: As for me, not very monotonous. To be honest, I thought that Rixos and Amara Dolce Vita had poor and monotonous food, but I was very mistaken. In Vogue, he was simply no. Few salads. And for some reason, eggplants and zucchini in various forms were regular guests in the restaurant: fried, steamed, canned, stewed ...There were pasta and spaghetti, and only ketchup for them. Other hotels had pasta in different sauces: seafood, mushroom, etc. Soups are not tasty. Lots of soups with tomato sauce. The meat is firm. Not fried chicken (((. When it was a fish day, there was nothing interesting except for the fish hanging on a hook. There weren’t even shrimp and crayfish. Dessert: there was a lot of pakhvala. There were also a lot of cakes.
I'm used to less creamy sweets. The fruits were different: blue and green grapes, peaches, apricots, dogwood, bananas, plums, blue and green figs, watermelons (very tasty), melons. But in the morning, not everything works yet (thin pancakes have to wait a long time. For breakfast, in order to drink a normal fresh juice, you had to stand in line. There are vending machines with coffee and cappuccino. Cappuccino is terrible. Simple coffee with milk...The drink is the weakest of all the casts I've been to. Alcoholic drinks in the bar near the pool are diluted or poured with a surrogate....Once I wanted a martini with vodka, so they poured vodka into sticky a dirty glass, and a place for a martini surrogate of some kind. In the lobby, they pour good drinks. Tip: make friends with the bartenders))))
For children there was a mini restaurant, with a large screen where children could watch cartoons.
At lunch and after it, near the pool, from the side of the Turkish a la carte or Turkish pancakes, you could take ice cream)))) there was also a restaurant where you could dine with hamburgers with french fries))))
Came for Ramadan. . We thought there would be a gala dinner, but we broke off ...there was nothing interesting ...pilaf, shawarma and lamb were added to the main menu)))
In Amre Wing, I liked the food the most))) in Rixos, the best was pastries and a sweet table. (But this is all in my subjective opinion)

BEACH: Long but narrow. I divided it into several zones. The 1st, the widest, there are sunbeds in five rows, almost on top of each other (then comes the pier, and behind it, as it were, the 2nd zone, but already, where the sunbeds are in 2 rows and just as close to each other. But everywhere there is a good sand entry into the sea. The sand is loose. Then comes the 3rd zone, but with VIP pavilions, which are paid, the entrance to the sea is small pebbles, but a little further there is also sand.

After another pier, but for those who live in villas. Then a piece of the beach was given over to a private villa, so you can’t sunbathe. But if you go further to the water slides, then you can find an almost wild beach and sunbathe topless))), but the entrance to the sea is bad, there are many large and sharp stones where you can cut your legs. But it is quiet and peaceful there. Near the water slides, there is a bar where you will be offered beer, ayran and various nuts. There are tables and small sofas.
The beds are very dirty mattresses. I personally was not very pleased to sit on a mattress with different types of stains ((( The beach is also dirty ...
If I noticed for sure, then I didn’t notice the exit for strollers to the beach, that is, they must be demolished by hand ...the path on the beach is not wooden, but plastic and very narrow, it gets very hot in the sun, walking barefoot is not realistic.
Closer to dinner, if I'm not mistaken, they brought watermelons and served ice cream in cups. It was nice.
Comparison: ADV and Rixos have the largest and widest beaches, which is very convenient, since no one smells your head with their feet). In Amara Wing, the beach is just as narrow)))

ANIMATION: Nothing special to tell. There are not many animators. At evening events, their behavior merged with tourists. And it seemed to me that they communicate only with those who are interested in them. For some, it will be nice that the animation is unobtrusive, but for someone not very much. In my opinion, they are still young and not very experienced. Evening shows, standard for hotels. But after them, adults don’t have much to do with themselves, since the live music that was in a bar near the sea was sad (((For children, various events, performances and competitions were held there. It was interesting to watch how children's animators dressed up as someone every day sometimes new, then they were clowns, then monkeys, then ghosts ....
Large mini-club, next to the water slides, which is in the greenery and in the shade. In the evening, as always, a mini-disco.
In the afternoon, water gymnastics, water football (I don’t know exactly what it’s called), all kinds of water fun were held in the main pool. or they inflated the slides, where the kids went crazy ...it was also possible to ride in the pool on the water in a transparent ball (I don’t know for a fee or for free ()
At 23:00 a disco opened, but there were mostly teenagers or Turks)))…


We didn't go to the spa. Let's go from teztur to their hammam. At a cost of 100 bucks per person. Liked. But they did everything for us. We were in the hammam and no one else. It is possible and cheaper, but there is already a service for the entire flow of people, and this can be more than 10 people. But they don't go anymore...one test was enough.

TOTAL: A hotel for a quiet, family and relaxing holiday, with children or teenagers. The first time I saw so many teenagers in a hotel.
Young people aged 23 and older will be a bit bored there (...but although it’s different for anyone. And who goes for what purpose))) with a good entry into the sea. Take spatulas and buckets))) there will be something to do on the beach with your child)))
If the rooms overlook the pool, then the evening animation is not very audible, as it is far away, but live music is near the sea. But if they hold evening events near the pool, then everything is audible and the windows will not help ...but this happened only twice in 10 days of our stay. In the villas, the audibility is less.
There is nothing to do in the village itself (there is nothing to buy, it is more expensive), it is better to go immediately to Kemer (info for those who are in the Kemer region for the first time)
