Just returned from this terrible hotel. I never write reviews, but now I decided not to be lazy and write. I went with my daughter and grandson (1 year 9 months). We arrived at the hotel at 4 am.

Just returned from this terrible hotel. I never write reviews, but now I decided not to be lazy and write. I went with my daughter and grandson (1 year 9 months). We arrived at the hotel at 4 am. Upon arrival, as expected, we were denied early check-in, although the hotel was practically empty!! ! The frostbitten administrator told me to wait until 9 am for some senior woman. We barely persuaded us for 50 euros to let us into some room, since we were very tired with a sleeping child in our arms after a difficult journey. The first impression of the hotel lobby is shocking - darkness, wild draft, everything is gloomy and uncomfortable. I thought that maybe at 4 am they just turned off all the lights. But on all subsequent days, the lighting in the hall was almost the same, some small 2-3 chandeliers with one 3 W lamp were burning. Although there is a large crystal chandelier from the ceiling, it is not turned on due to savings!! ! Then the shock only increased.
We got a room with a broken extra sofa, we asked for at least some extra. give me a mattress because the holes between the folding parts of the sofa were about 15 centimeters long. The room could not be called ready for occupancy. Dirty floors, walls, dirty mirrors, used toothpicks, napkins, etc. in the bedside tables. The bed didn’t seem the freshest to me either. By the way, it hasn’t been changed in all this time. And towels too. And the beach towels are real floor rags - tattered, dirty, they look about 100 years old, it’s not even clear what their original color was. They are just colorless, stinking rags that don't even wash. The beach is covered in cigarette butts, used disposable cups, stubs, bandages and other garbage. Doesn't get rid of the word at all. In all this time I have not found a single intact sunbed. All are broken. They don't worry about cleaning here at all. Room cleaning consists only of collecting garbage.
They asked to unlock the safe, but they did it only on the 4th day, and then with a scandal. The idea of using a high chair to feed the baby was abandoned immediately. It felt like these chairs were covered in dirt and grease and had never been washed. When asked to wash it, they sprayed it with antiseptic and smeared it with a dirty napkin. The food is disgusting and meager. Everything tastes bad. It’s just stupid that they carry out the same products in the 10th circle, which no longer have any taste or smell. There is generally nothing to feed the child here. Drinks - only beer and some simple cocktail can be offered near the pool. Wine is sour, juices are just like yuppie with water. Arrogant cats simply attack tourists, literally snatching food from a fork, climbing on tables and things. I'm an animal lover, but cats here are just annoying vacationers. The coffee in the cafeteria is disgusting. The bar makes more or less normal coffee.
In the evening there was some strange music, intended only for Russian tourists. For this, the hotel has another big minus.
Definitely not recommended and very disappointed with the hotel. Kemer itself is the cleanest sea and mountains, but choose other hotels so as not to spoil your vacation.

Rested with a friend in Kemer. I really liked the hotel. Polite staff, excellent food, the room was cleaned every day. I especially liked the spa. A friend tried all the treatments and massages. Was very satisfied. I went for a classic full body massage. It was done by a young boy, but I have never had such a good massage in my life.

We lived in a bungalow, there was no cleaning, on the 3rd day they asked at the reception if someone would come to clean it, they said that they would come and wrote down the number of the bungalow, but no one came, they took out the garbage themselves. Staff without badges, the bars smell bad. I give points only to cooks, they cook well.

They offered a room on the ground floor with a view of the fence and the smell of sewage, they asked to change the room, for this it was necessary to live in a bungalow for one day, and only a day later they gave another room, rest with constant moving is very tiring, especially if you traveled for 2 days to Turkey.

One of the bartenders told everyone how much he loves Putin, even the Russians looked at him like he was a fool. When a remark was made to the manager about the behavior of the bartender, he replied: “well, yes, he is like that. ” The music is only Russian, the DJ completely refused to put on a Ukrainian club neutral song (dayton-namysto), I don’t know who this song could interfere with. Unfriendly environment. The receptionist said that they would give lunch boxes, but in the end there were none. I advise Ukrainians to bypass this hotel on the tenth road.

All at once on the shelves. The hotel is located at the beginning of Kemer, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the center, the location is convenient. Clean beach across the road, beach bar, free coffee water. Alcohol in the bar on the beach is paid. Food too. The beach is clean and beautiful, lots of sunbeds.

The beach is clean and beautiful, lots of sunbeds. The staff is friendly.
The food at the hotel is not varied, mostly chicken, little fruit, breakfast is rather poor. Alcohol in the bar is good, beer is not diluted. Coffee is disgusting, who flies here to drink coffee, buy 3 in one with you. Always ask for a room not on the 0 floor. The higher the better.
The contingent in the hotel is couples, Russians, Ukraine and the elderly, the hotel is not party-oriented from the word at all, if you are young guys, then you will be 100% bored. There are karaoke in the hotel, music in the evening, but after the covid it's not long, and only a few clubs do not work in the center. Inferno (blown away completely), Aura (many people have fun), Crystal (will also do).
And now about the hotel staff)
Intrusive boorish man Ildar, who will hold a grudge against you all your days of rest if you do not go to the hamam.
The cooks are very good, they speak Russian at the reception, Zemfira is a honey administrator)
The bar in the lobby is better than downstairs, the bartender Baron makes excellent cocktails, speaks good Russian. Also at the reception you can meet Farid in his leather shop, a good man can show and tell everything. At the hotel you can take excursions to Kenana, prices are even lower than those of Maxwell and Ginza. Of course, you don’t have to take anything from the guides. Good car rental. Animation works aerobics in the morning, darts in the afternoon, karaoke and shows in the evening. Animator Mehmet speaks excellent Russian and tries to cheer everyone up as much as possible. )

Rooms were cleaned every day, towels changed regularly. Once a week they make a Gala dinner, for us it was a pleasant surprise. Many thanks to the organizers of this event, and especially to Zemfira, because everything was interesting, fun, tasty and pleasant for the hotel guests! I would also like to thank the massage therapists Zhdan and Asad from the SPA for their professionalism and sleight of hand. I really liked the hammam, Erdal and Farid from the Leather and Fur store, also very respectful of the vacationers and a responsible SPA worker. Guys, it was nice to meet you, good luck in all your endeavors. And the hotel "ELAMIR" - further prosperity.

It was not the first time they rested in Turkey, there was an opportunity to compare. The hotel is beautiful both inside and out, small, but there was enough space. Of the shortcomings, there are very few sun loungers near the pool, and the pool itself is small. The room got on the ground floor, we were upset at first, but it turned out that this is the best option.

It was not the first time they rested in Turkey, there was an opportunity to compare. The hotel is beautiful both inside and out, small, but there was enough space. Of the shortcomings, there are very few sun loungers near the pool, and the pool itself is small. The room got on the ground floor, we were upset at first, but it turned out that this is the best option. Subsequently, they tried to relocate us, ended in a scandal with the hotel manager (loud, shouted at vacationers, threatened the police, said that there was a tourist with a coronovirus in the next room) and all so that we moved to another room. This incident upset us a little, but we did not move.
The room was cleaned daily, except for the day of the scandal with the manager, we had no complaints about cleaning, they put soap, gels, clean towels, even twisted the swans twice. There were shortcomings in the room in the form of a backlight that did not turn off, but they showed us the shield and we cut it down for the night. The kitchen was very pleasing in the mornings and evenings, all sorts of goodies were fried on the grill, in principle, the food was enough and quite varied. Soups suck and at 17 o'clock the declared afternoon snack was practically absent (a couple of plates with dry cookies).
The beach is magnificent, clean water, small pebbles. And very hospitable and friendly staff: the bartender Gazim is such a nice person, the animator Memo is very cool, the massage therapist Jean is a professional, smart, separate respect to Farid, a representative of the fur and leather store, sympathetic, kind, attentive, the kitchen staff are great, very pleasant. Staff 10 points.

Wi-Fi paid (1 day - $2.5 days - $5.7 days - $8.15 days - $15) per device! If you ask very nicely at the reception, they will give you a second one. It will not be possible to distribute, they have an individual password system for one device with a distribution blocking. Catches well. Immediately I say WiFi is paid throughout Kemer.

Immediately I say WiFi is paid throughout Kemer. There is no free anywhere. Free wifi signs are a lure for tourists. Neither in restaurants nor in shops, even when buying something, they will not give you access. (Access is possible only for those who have a Turkish SIM card)
Either roaming, or buy at the hotel, or a SIM card. There are three of them: Vodafone and two Turkish ones. The cost of a SIM card for 10 days is from $10 to $20. The Internet is limited on them.
So by the numbers.
We arrived at the hotel at 15:00 late for lunch. Immediately settled, when asked which room they said -1 floor. We immediately "No no! We have a honeymoon please a better room" The girls at the reception are good, got into position. They said there is another room but they are cleaning it now.
We went to the beach for a bite to eat ("the restaurant in quotation marks" from the hotel is located on the beach, I’ll say right away that it’s not popular, the food is so-so, the prices on the lira menu but take a dollar or more, I don’t advise).
Returned room cleaned decorated. They took a bottle of vodka to the reception in gratitude. They didn't expect. But vodka works wonders, let me tell you. In the evening they brought us a plate of fruit, glasses of alcohol. And generally remember who we are and from what number.
By cleanliness. A lot of writing that is dirty. It is not so with us. Left every day chocolate and sweets. They came - clean, changed towels, slippers, left flowers on the bed, cleaned on the balcony. Cleaning every day. Towels were changed every 2 days.
The room has an electric kettle, hair dryer, TV, not working table lamp, safe, mini-fridge, air conditioning (from +18 and above). The sun didn’t shine in our room at all, so it didn’t warm up when it was over forty degrees outside, we even turned off the air conditioner at all.
By floors.
I read the reviews before arriving at the hotel, listen to the people they all wrote correctly.
-1 floor basement (there are rooms overlooking the wall and the road on the street, rooms overlooking the courtyard, spa, massage, dining room, similar rooms)
0 floor (lobby, reception, rooms overlooking the street road)
1st and 2nd floor (they go in a circle you can see in the photo, we had the 1st floor. There is a sea view from the side of the road, into the courtyard of the mountain and from the side between the courtyard and the sea to the mountains - this is our room. )
PERSONALLY MY ADVICE ONLY MOUNTAIN VIEW! From the side of the road it is noisy dusty and dawn from the sea, the sun will shine in your room until 2 pm.
From the yard to the mountains super! But condolences basement, people will walk just by your balcony, plus until 23:00 the music by the pool is all "moving" in front of the windows. The 1st and 2nd floors are a little better, if the noise does not bother you, the view is super, the sun after 15 and before sunset behind the mountains.
Our room is NOT in the courtyard, on the side, the road is not heard, the courtyard too, the view of the mountains is beauty, the sun shone for 1 hour at sunset.
Loved the room and glad we got it. There are photos.
Animation.
No matter how I look at the courtyard in the evening, after dinner, 70% of tourists go shopping or hang out in the city. We were the same. In the evening the DJ plays mostly Russian music. During the time that there were some contests held twice, the pensioner said that in the evenings she stays by the pool.
Mosque next to the hotel. Do not be alarmed at 4:30 in the morning, a prayer begins through the loudspeaker, and then 5 more times a day, the last at 22:00.
Beach.
Here, of course, a bummer ...Everything is beautiful on the pictures of the site. Roll your lips guys. Yes, the beach is good, big, there will be enough space for everyone, even half is empty, which is without awnings and sun loungers. This beach is wild, so the locals said. There is no line of hotels right by the sea.
To the beach GO 400 m! And this is the first line.
It is not long, BUT this is not an underground passage, this is an exit from the hotel - crossing the road and then going down - and then through the courtyard of the restaurant near the beach.
The first time they went crazy, then they got used to the norms. I threw in the photo so that they understand the path.
Beach closer to the sea pebbles with sand further sand. Husband did not like the entry into the water. Buy special slippers for swimming and you will be fine! For many have hurt their feet. The water is clean, warm, fenced with buoys, sun loungers and I guarantee everyone will have enough, umbrellas canopies too, but there will be not enough mattresses.
We walked further to the city, 40 minutes on foot from Elamir, the hotels immediately with access to the beach there are completely pebbles, the water is crystal clearer than from a tap, so those who want the Maldives take hotels further from Seven Seas to the center of Kemer. Again, I am attaching a photo of the beach and how to get there.
On the beach there are 2 changing cabins, 4 showers.
There are services on the beach: banana rides $15 per person, parasailing from a yacht $60 per person. As well as darts, riding a scooter and so on.
Food.
They fed relatively normally, it seems that no one was poisoned, look for the schedule and price tags in the photo.
Breakfast is poor to be honest, because by dinner after the sea is already wildly hungry. Mostly salads, various muesli, cereals, waffles, milk, yoghurts, honey, nutella, soup, pancakes or donuts or scrambled eggs, oranges or apples alternate, dried fruits, potatoes, garnish.
Better lunch: soup, rice, potatoes, salads, vegetables, fruits (apples, pears, melon, watermelon, plum grapes, grapefruit alternate), meat (grilled cutlets are often very spicy meat is impossible to eat, meat balls, chicken is always delicious)
Dinner is the richest: meat, very tasty fish, soup, rice, sometimes delicious pilaf, potatoes, salads, fruits, vegetables, rot...
Sweet is not tasty to me personally, everything that I took in the trash, except for the berry dessert in the Kremlin, and a chocolate biscuit. Bring sweets with you in short.
From bread, who cannot live without it - only buns and butter. Crackers for soup.
My husband and I are not particularly eaters, so we were fine. But many were not enough, so in the comments you will find that they are fed poorly.
The bar is also present both on the beach and in the hotel, alcohol is free, I have not tried to say anything, I can not drink.
The coffee in the machine is vile, tea, Water in disposable cups is packed, not bottles.
Services.
Recognized for a hammam massage - $ 15-20 per person. In hotel. Other prices in the photo.
City.
To the center of Kemer for shopping went on foot 20 minutes. Market shops...
To the embankment where Burger King and McDonald's, from the hotel 40 minutes one way.
Transport.
There is a bus stop right outside the hotel to the center, I will take you in 5 minutes, the price is 4.5 lira. Or taxi $10-15.
Shopping.
There are two Waikiki, one is 15 minutes from the hotel, the other is 25 minutes behind the central ring. Lots of other famous brands. Prices are lower!
For example, in Ukraine I bought coats for $18, two weeks later they arrived here, they cost $11 at the rate of the lira!
Price tags in stores are double. The consultant explain, the price that is higher is if you pay at the checkout in dollars or euros, the one that is lower is if the lira or a bank card.
We paid with a bank card, it’s very profitable, convenient, no commission and everything is at the rate, and not like every store sets its own rate if you pay in cash. Change only in Lira! Restaurants cafes and more. Ask for a menu in Turkish, everything is in lira and the prices are lower than in the English menu in dollars.
From the picture you will understand what you are ordering, if you ask the waiter.
Lots of Russian speaking staff. No one speaks English, we have not met such people.
In shops magnets spices souvenirs towels you can bargain.
It is better to take souvenirs closer to the center to the ring where the prices are lower.
For example, they took two towels in a layout not far from the hotel for $15, they bought the same ones in the city for $10.
In the center there is a supermarket "M Migros" is not bad enough and the prices are even lower than those of a vegetable retailer in the city, because in lira.
Rent a Car.
We didn’t take it, but we met guys who took a Turkish electric moped.
They did not return the money, they said that something was damaged, although this is not so. And according to the guys, they were not alone. In short, be careful, they are very foolish in this area.
FROM THE MINUSES. At 12:00, as expected, the room was vacated, the transfer was at 19:20. We managed to have lunch and a little dinner, all the time we were waiting in the lobby where it was NERIALLY stuffy, the air conditioners were all turned off, it was hot throughout the hotel except for the rooms themselves.
In general, the hotel is small and cozy, there are not many people, you even remember them by their faces. A quiet relaxing holiday for those who do not need noisy parties until one in the morning. Will we return to it again? - Probably the answer is no. If we are again in Kemer, we will choose something else.
Immediately I say WiFi is paid throughout Kemer. There is no free anywhere. Free wifi signs are a lure for tourists. Neither in restaurants nor in shops, even when buying something, they will not give you access. (Access is possible only for those who have a Turkish SIM card)
Either roaming, or buy at the hotel, or a SIM card. There are three of them: Vodafone and two Turkish ones. The cost of a SIM card for 10 days is from $10 to $20. The Internet is limited on them.

They fed relatively normally, it seems that no one was poisoned, look for the schedule and price tags in the photo.
Breakfast is poor to be honest, because by dinner after the sea is already wildly hungry. Mostly salads, various muesli, cereals, waffles, milk, yoghurts, honey, nutella, soup, pancakes or donuts or scrambled eggs, oranges or apples alternate, dried fruits, potatoes, garnish.
Better lunch: soup, rice, potatoes, salads, vegetables, fruits (apples, pears, melon, watermelon, plum grapes, grapefruit alternate), meat (grilled cutlets are often very spicy meat is impossible to eat, meat balls, chicken is always delicious)
Dinner is the richest: meat, very tasty fish, soup, rice, sometimes delicious pilaf, potatoes, salads, fruits, vegetables, rot...
Sweet is not tasty to me personally, everything that I took in the trash, except for the berry dessert in the Kremlin, and a chocolate biscuit. Bring sweets with you in short.
From bread, who cannot live without it - only buns and butter. Crackers for soup.
My husband and I are not particularly eaters, so we were fine. But many were not enough, so in the comments you will find that they are fed poorly.
The bar is also present both on the beach and in the hotel, alcohol is free, I have not tried to say anything, I can not drink.
The coffee in the machine is vile, tea, Water in disposable cups is packed, not bottles.
Services.
Recognized for a hammam massage - $ 15-20 per person. In hotel. Other prices in the photo.
City.
To the center of Kemer for shopping went on foot 20 minutes. Market shops...
To the embankment where Burger King and McDonald's, from the hotel 40 minutes one way.
Transport.
There is a bus stop right outside the hotel to the center, I will take you in 5 minutes, the price is 4.5 lira. Or taxi $10-15.
Shopping.
There are two Waikiki, one is 15 minutes from the hotel, the other is 25 minutes behind the central ring. Lots of other famous brands. Prices are lower!
For example, in Ukraine I bought coats for $18, two weeks later they arrived here, they cost $11 at the rate of the lira!
Price tags in stores are double. The consultant explain, the price that is higher is if you pay at the checkout in dollars or euros, the one that is lower is if the lira or a bank card.
We paid with a bank card, it’s very profitable, convenient, no commission and everything is at the rate, and not like every store sets its own rate if you pay in cash. Change only in Lira! Restaurants cafes and more. Ask for a menu in Turkish, everything is in lira and the prices are lower than in the English menu in dollars.
From the picture you will understand what you are ordering, if you ask the waiter.
Lots of Russian speaking staff. No one speaks English, we have not met such people.
In shops magnets spices souvenirs towels you can bargain.
It is better to take souvenirs closer to the center to the ring where the prices are lower.
For example, they took two towels in a layout not far from the hotel for $15, they bought the same ones in the city for $10.
In the center there is a supermarket "M Migros" is not bad enough and the prices are even lower than those of a vegetable retailer in the city, because in lira.
Rent a Car.
We didn’t take it, but we met guys who took a Turkish electric moped.
They did not return the money, they said that something was damaged, although this is not so. And according to the guys, they were not alone. In short, be careful, they are very foolish in this area.
FROM THE MINUSES. At 12:00, as expected, the room was vacated, the transfer was at 19:20. We managed to have lunch and a little dinner, all the time we were waiting in the lobby where it was NERIALLY stuffy, the air conditioners were all turned off, it was hot throughout the hotel except for the rooms themselves.
In general, the hotel is small and cozy, there are not many people, you even remember them by their faces. A quiet relaxing holiday for those who do not need noisy parties until one in the morning. Will we return to it again? - Probably the answer is no. If we are again in Kemer, we will choose something else.
