"Golden Lotus" (Kemer)
Just got back from Turkey where I spent my summer vacation!
In the period from May 31 to June 21.2017, he was in Kemer, at the "Golden Lotus" hotel. In general, the trip was pleasant, and the rest was a success. I'll start in order.
I purchased a ticket a week before the trip through the tour operator TPG
(Travel Professional Group). This company has contractual relations with a number of hotels, has its own airline "Bravo", a meeting party in Turkey. Everything works well and without failures.
Upon arrival at the hotel (08:00.05/31/17), I "warmed up" the reception manager by giving him $20 to quickly find a good room. I must say that by this time (beginning of June) the hotel is completely filled with vacationers. By the way, not all rooms in the hotel meet my requirements. A number of rooms of the hotel "Golden Lotus" have an internal layout. They are located inside the perimeter of the hotel with windows opening onto the interior of the hotel. This number, it is also standard, did not suit me. After breakfast, thanks to the "heating", I already got my room, No. 418, in which I lived for 21 nights. The room is good, with a balcony, located on the outer perimeter of the hotel... no complaints. Everything in the room worked well throughout my stay. TV - a small screen on the wall, two Russian channels and a music box. The minibar (refrigerator) is one-time filled with drinks. New plumbing, hot water at any time... always. There is a hair dryer, shampoo, soap. .
Dining room: Feeding is typical for hotels of this price category. A lot of chicken, turkey... little meat and fish, although they are also present in the diet.
It should be noted positively that the hotel does not practice the vicious practice of dispensing drinks in paper cups. Always only branded glasses for beer, glasses for wine and different glasses and glasses for drinks and juices... I liked it. Lots of different desserts. There were few fruits, there were practically none, only watermelons and melons every time for lunch, breakfast and dinner. Maybe by July, August the picture with fruits will change. Ice cream is missing.
In between lunches, additional snacks... these are sausages, and french fries, and gozleme cakes, and pizza. You can always drink coffee and tea. I also liked cocoa with milk, hot chocolate and chocolate with coffee (a hot drink that resembles both cocoa and coffee at the same time)... In general, something will suit everyone.
Beach: In my opinion, the beach looks cramped and hectic. There are a lot of sun loungers, they are almost back to back, there is not even a place to approach the sun lounger from the side. To deploy a sun lounger in the sun or in the shade is out of the question, there is no place on the beach for this. The beach is narrow and slopes towards the sea. All sun loungers are on a slope. This is also a disadvantage of the beach. There is no flat and empty place on the beach "Golden Lotus"!! ! Nearby hotels have a similar picture. The beach is better at "Valerie Beach", where each fungus has only two sun loungers (left and right), there is room for variations.
Pier: There is a pier (big plus for those who don't want to go over the rocks in the sea). The pier is used by all hotel guests, as well as other holidaymakers who want comfort. There are sun loungers on the pier. They are provided to everyone (not only hotel customers) for a fee. The cost of renting a sun lounger for the whole day is 5 euros! The beach bar is paid!
There are many smokers on the beach. Smoking everywhere, including lying on sun loungers. This is a big disadvantage in general for Turkey.
Those who prioritize the requirements for the beach should look for another hotel. Good beaches in the Camyuva area... excellent beaches in Konyaalti (Antalya), in Oludeniz.
Location: Classic city hotel in a resort location. The hotel is located on the first line in the center of Kemer. Almost on the beach and in the center! This is a big plus. To the left and right of the hotel (very close) there are buildings of other buildings. Count on a beautiful view from the window, from the balcony is not necessary. Frontal rooms, with a view of the sea, go only to the lucky ones. There are few such rooms.
I did not build any illusions, I knew all the charms and disadvantages of "Golden Lotus" in advance, not the first time in Kemer, so I made the choice of the hotel consciously. I am satisfied with the rest.
