Hello!
I'll add a review in hot pursuit. Just got back from the hotel yesterday. Of course, I've read a lot of nonsense about the hotel lately. I'll start from the beginning.
We arrived at the hotel on June 29, at about 11 am. The reception warned that the rooms will be only after dinner. We were quite ready for this. So everything turned out - we had lunch and immediately received a key card from the room. An excellent room in the new building - 624. No complaints about the equipment of the room. Everything worked and no shower built into the wall)))
Now more.
Hotel.

Garden Resort was built and operated for the first seasons as 5 *, and this despite the beach a kilometer away. You will find evidence of this in the photographs for the review - not all signs have been replaced - in some places it is still written 5 *))). Nothing surprising. In terms of service and food, the hotel is quite consistent with 5 * for Turkey. As for the territory, for a city hotel in the center of Kemer, everything is also quite 5 * pull. Do you, for example, know many city Kemer 4 * hotels with a tennis court or two a la carte restaurants, one of which is free once a week? I repeat - the whole problem is only located too far from its own beach. But this is honestly written in the description - so this should not come as a surprise to tourists. At least for those who know where they are going.
As for the famous relaxation zone, this is of course a godsend. Someone wrote that they are not allowed to go there with sleeping babies - this is a lie. Children under 16 are not allowed in so that there is no noise, and this is right, but if your baby sleeps peacefully in a stroller, they will easily let you through. In order not to be unfounded, I add pictures, I hope this will end the dispute. It is located across a small path from the animation site. And if you add up the area of ​ ​ u200bu200bthe relaxation garden with the area of ​ ​ u200bu200bthe hotel, then Garden Resort quite comes out on the 1st place among all city hotels in Kemer. all fives are located close to each other, like herrings in a jar.
The area is very well thought out. A swimming pool with slides, a children's pool under a canopy, another large pool + a pool in the spa. Enough space for everyone. The pools always had free sunbeds. Just perfect - pools for every taste and islands of greenery. Very very beautiful.
Nutrition.
I'll start right away with a refutation of the obvious stupidity. Someone wrote about powdered milk, which is impossible to drink. It is disgusting to argue with this person, let everything remain on his conscience. Our daughter, who is only a year old, drank milk with pleasure. For breakfast and lunch - milk in a restaurant in a can, and for dinner - in a special jug. I personally saw how the waiter topped up milk, when it ended in a can, topped up from ordinary liter bags. Very tasty milk. Therefore, it is simply disgusting to read about "powder". I don't understand why people write this?

The food at the Garden Resort is excellent. No questions. There are photos too. Beer is just fine. Weak, but this is in all Turkish hotels - hilt light. Someone wrote about diluted, I don’t even want to comment. Apparently right in the hegels they are softening up. Some even manage to write about diluted gin and whiskey. Don't people see that the bartenders take out closed bottles and open them in front of you? Or the paranoia has reached its maximum - and some people think that the bottles are diluted while still closed))) What distinguishes Garden Resort is red and white wine. It is also bottled, and not from obscure barrels. Red is quite good. I don't like white, haven't tried it.
Bars.
Everything is thought out. Pool bar until 7pm, lobby bar (Harem) from 6pm.
Plus, there is a relaxing bar and a beach bar. All bartenders know their stuff. No questions.
Beach.
The best among all the beaches of Kemer hotels. If someone disputes, let him first remember the beach area. Huge beach, bar, green area, playground on the beach. All this is the Garrden Resort beach. Not one hotel in the center of Kemer has such a beach. Hotels in the villages, I do not take into account.
Infrastructure.
There is a mini-market on the minus ground floor, the prices there are slightly higher than in city carefure or mgros, but when you don’t want to go far, you can overpay 50 korushas. Next to the shop is a hairdresser. our Nastyushka got her first haircut there))) On the first floor, on the way to the restaurant, there is a souvenir shop - magnets, towels, watches, bags, etc. . The prices there are excellent, I must say. Not higher than in the city, or even cheaper. Yes, and the seller is a very good person. Come down and check it out.
About the photographer. His character is his character. But he is a master of his craft. We ordered a photo session of our baby, then we bought a couple of pictures. No problem with him.
About the Internet. Everything worked fine. The maximum signal level was even in the room. Skype worked easily, no problems with communication. You need to know that the Garden Resort signal point works best, and sometimes the Garden Lobby. You need to be able to connect correctly and there will be no problems. Even a signal from orange county was caught, but there was no password)))
Staff.

All good fellows. ALL. Everyone took pictures with our baby - from waiters and bartenders to the beach bus driver. Nobody ever got nasty. The impressions were the most positive from the people working in the hotel. The representative of the hotel, Inna Golub, works from morning to evening. Honestly, I just envy the strength of her psyche. . . Sometimes there are very inadequate vacationers.
As for theme nights. Turkish on Monday, Italian on Wednesday, fish on Friday.
During the Turkish night, on Mondays, there is a fair right at the hotel. Everything is more expensive there than in the city. Especially toilet water, which we were offered for 52 bucks. They didn’t even bargain, because we know the real price. They laughed and said thank you))) But they bought children's clothes for the daughter just at the hotel at the fair - they bargained well. Since we got 2 Mondays, then we bought something else.
What else? I can’t say anything more about the spa, gym and sauna. Were not there. We just looked into the indoor pool and the gym with exercise equipment - everything is very worthy.
We didn’t go to a la carte restaurants either, because it’s kind of wild to go there with a small child. But, I repeat, there was enough food from the main restaurant.
Briefly about the playground. There are two of them. One in the hotel, the other on the beach. Our little one tried the swings here and there, but her favorite was the ball lake next to the hotel's kids club. The joy was insane. A young animator girl is mainly involved with the kids. I don’t know exactly what her name is ((( Or Nazir or Nazir... I could be wrong. She does an excellent job and the children love her. Some wrote that the hotel is not for people with children and is not intended for children... I even I don’t know what to write, honestly, there is probably no more suitable hotel for families with children in Kemer.
I can't say anything about adult animation. We did not go to the evening performances, because the child was already asleep. One time, when she fell asleep in a stroller, they stayed at the Miss Hotel show. Standard. As everywhere in Turkey. Fun. The Swede won. By the way, the hotel has a lot of foreigners and almost no Russian "tagil". This is wonderful. We'll be back in a year for sure.
Personally, I wish you a good finalization of the season and good luck in all future endeavors))))

Thanks to all the employees of the Garden Resort Hotel for a great vacation!
