Stayed with friends at the end of August. We arrived at the hotel in the evening, around 21:00. We were immediately fed, then there was registration. Immediately at the reception desk I asked for an updated room with a mountain view. They gave me room 335. A normal room with a refrigerator, air conditioning, TV (there are main Russian channels, even one Ukrainian), a safe (for a fee). Everything worked, the linen was clean, 2 towels for each. As far as I understand, the hotel has 2 wings and the left one is newer, the rooms are better there, so ask for the left). There is an elevator in the hotel, a beautiful lobby with sofas, billiards (free of charge). Wi-Fi paid $ 1 per day, but at least 3 days (which I think is not correct). We didn’t buy Wi-Fi, because according to the reviews of vacationers, it worked only on the first floors and near the pool. The pool is beautiful, clean, there was a water slide, but only once I saw that it worked.
The room was cleaned, but not very thoroughly. Linen and towels were changed once in the middle of the week. At the same time they put in new bathroom accessories, paper, which of course is desirable to do more often. But we lived 3, and put on 2. You can ask the maid, if something is over, they give it without any problems. The staff is friendly.
We liked the food, we were not hungry. Perhaps not too diverse, but there was a choice. There was chicken, fish, many types of cheeses, salads, Turkish sweets. Meat, fish fried right by the pool under cover. At the bar, free coffee from the machine, tea, dry wines, beer, cocktails, water with syrup (such as Jupi). The restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. The only negative is that you need to come early, because if something runs out, they won’t put it in, they can put something else. But if you come at the end, then there can be little left. It is worth noting that once we were on an excursion and arrived much later after lunch, approached the director of the restaurant, explained the situation, even wanted to pay something, but in order to be fed, he did not take the money and personally went and organized a meal for us . I think that this is not possible in every hotel and a big plus for Armir Palace's karma.

The hotel had animation (I heard that not every 4 * hotel has it), in the evening there was a disco until 0:00.
You have to go to the beach for about 10 minutes (past the cemetery, through the campsite). The beach is small, in the same place the beaches of other hotels differ in umbrellas. There are sun loungers, showers. There are pebbles on the beach, but plus that there is a bridge for entering the sea, there were other beaches, so it’s more difficult to go there without corrals. But the sea is super: warm, transparent, and on the other hand, majestic mountains.
We went on a yacht tour to the Turkish Maldives for $18 per person. We took the tour at a travel agency on the way to Beldibi, where 2 wonderful Katyusha girls work, one of which is Ukrainian, who made us a discount, connected WiFi. Also, the hotel guide took us for free to Kemer, Antalya for shopping.
We liked the rest. I think that for such money the Armir Palace hotel is normal. Maybe not 4*, but 3+ for sure. If you care about the beauty that surrounds you, the mountains, the sea, then you are here.
