Now the prices are even higher. The best tours to the hotel from various tour operators can be found on Level Travel or Travelata aggregators
The hotel was about 70% full when we visited. The main contingent of Russian-speaking tourists. Baltic countries, Poland, Germany, Kazakhstan. Few tourists from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine.
Our second visit to the hotel did not disappoint us at all. The internet didn't work for a few days. But then everything got better. And free WiFi became available throughout the territory, rooms and on the beach.
The weather was wonderful. At the end of May, the water temperature in the sea is +22, the air temperature during the day is up to +35
In 2022, restaurants canceled the distribution of dishes by restaurant employees, and the queues for food almost completely disappeared. The food is varied. They cook delicious. Significantly expanded and improved range of sweet table
New buildings have appeared on the territory of the hotel. Firstly, this is a magnificent tea house with a veranda and panoramic views of the bay and the garden. From 15:00 to 18:00 you can get ice cream, cookies, pizza, burgers, tea, coffee here. Secondly, this is a grill house. For breakfast, pancakes, donuts, scrambled eggs, etc. are prepared here. For lunch and dinner - delicious cakes, pizza, fried potatoes, seafood and grilled products. There are a lot of new sunbeds on the beach. And you can always find a place to rest.
On some booking sites with tour operators, you can find 5 types of hotel rooms. On the official website of Lankor, there are only two types.
We filmed all these numbers on video. In the video, we also show family rooms Suites (Family Rooms).

2. Standard Room (Standart Room, max. 3 people) - 18 m? . Everything is the same as in the Courtyard Room, but instead of a terrace there is a balcony and the windows overlook the surrounding streets and hotels or the pool. Some standard rooms do not have a balcony as such, but a French balcony

) - 25 m? with a large balcony

5. Rooms RUN OF THE HOUSES (ROH). Some tour operator websites offer Run of The House rooms. Run of The House means that upon arrival at the hotel you will be placed in a room that turned out to be free at that particular moment. And most likely it will be Courtyard Room or Econom Room
The hotel rooms were renovated in 2021. All the furniture in the rooms is new. Satellite TV has several Russian-language channels. The rooms have a mini bar, air conditioning, hair dryer, safe, tea set with a kettle. Tea set and water need to be updated by yourself.
There is a USB outlet for charging gadgets. Every day they give out a small bottle of shampoo for each vacationer. Shower gel bought in the supermarket on their own. There is a small clothes dryer on the balcony. Room cleaning every day. Bed linen is changed 3 times a week.
Some hotel guests complain about the poor soundproofing of the rooms. This applies to rooms with windows facing the neighboring hotel or with a view of the sea, from where the music of passing discos can be heard in the evenings. Pay attention to this. In any case, if you do not like the number, you can ask to change it.
Several families with children have stayed at the hotel. Although in my opinion, the hotel is not designed for this. There is no children's table in the restaurant and children's animation. True, there is a pool area for children and a games room
Every Thursday next to the hotel there is a clothing market (not far from the Liman pedestrian street). The food market takes place in the center near the clock tower on Mondays.
Currency exchange advice. Next to the hotel is the state bank Vakif Bank. There are excellent exchange rates here, and better than in street exchangers. The exchange is made from 200 € or 200 $ (there is no exchange of rubles). Passport or copy required
Берём большой семейный номер во втором корпусе, что дальше от моря.
Тут тишина и покой!
Отель нам очень нравится, в нём всё отлично!
Номер большой, питание шикарное на любой вкус. Персонал очень вежливый и приветливый!
До моря 3 минуты, так как первая линия.
До центра 15 минут не спешным шагом.
Однозначно рекомендую отель всем любителям хорошо и сытно поесть!
Прекрасное место, чтобы провести комфортный, ленивый отдых у самого моря!
We were settled at 11, they offered a Comfort room with an additional charge of $ 70 per week, but we refused, since the Economy was also not bad, the furniture was not killed, the only negative was a very old refrigerator, you can’t drink cold water at night.
The food is not bad for a 4-ki, 1 time there were even tuna steaks. But often I had to look for a place to have lunch or dinner.
The staff is very smart and hardworking, it is clear that it is very hot and hard to work, but they still remain friendly!
There are 2 pools, but you can't swim in any of them - one is in the dining room, the second is small, except perhaps for children.
The beach is a minute away due to which 70% of the residents are 60+ years old. If you want a more youthful holiday - you DO NOT HERE.
They also sell hamam very intrusively, in the first 2 days they come up 4 times, even if you refused.
The pros of the hotel: excellent sea, it is a fabulous pebble sunset, the location of the hotel is in the very center of Kemer, there is where to go for a walk and what to see, perhaps the pluses ended there.
What I didn’t like: the worst thing is the queues, they are always for breakfast, lunch and dinner, in order to take something from the food you have to stand in line, especially in the evening at the grill, the first three days it’s still so-so, but then it’s very annoying, the food you won’t stay hungry, but somehow everything is not tasty, in the morning rice porridge from rice that was given for dinner and everything would be fine, but I came across greens in porridge, I didn’t take it anymore. Who loves coffee, there is no brewed coffee, we bought and brewed in the room, they need to borrow sunbeds on the beach, there are a lot of people and there are not enough sunbeds, although they are very close to each other, More importantly, I honestly don’t understand who this hotel is for it is not suitable for young people and it is clear that it is more designed for older people, but only music plays everywhere, it plays loudly and until 12 or one in the morning, in the room with a closed balcony it is heard and interferes with sleep.
I can’t say that the rest is spoiled, no, we had a good rest, but I don’t want to go to this hotel anymore...
Everything else is fine. Check-in took place about 14 hours, the room is clean, the area as well. one shower worked on the beach. It was a bit unusual, I don't plan to stay here anymore.
I recommend this hotel, we had a great stay.
The choice of a tour operator when buying a tour from Moscow largely determined the flight a / to Russia with a permitted baggage weight of 20 kg (+5 kg hand luggage) on a Boeing 747-400
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL L'ancora Beach Hotel 4*
It is a member of the Mine Group Hotels chain of hotels. The hotel was renovated in 2021. Before the trip, we reviewed many reviews and descriptions of the hotel. Unfortunately, information about the hotel is presented everywhere is different, and often contradictory. The most recent is presented on offsite.
LOCATION
L'ancora Beach is a city hotel located on the seafront in the center of Kemer, 55 km from Antalya Airport.
It is within walking distance from Kemer Marina, Lunar Park, nightclubs. To the city center - the clock tower - 15 minutes on foot. The center from the bus stop at the hotel can also be reached for 4 TRY.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL ROOMS
The L'ancora Beach Hotel offers 233 rooms. Check-in at L'ancora Beach Hotel starts from 14.00. Check-out time from the rooms is at 12.00. Late check out is charged at $10 per hour. Safe in the rooms - for an additional fee of $ 3 per day.
There is also confusion about the hotel rooms and their area. Different sites provide different information. We managed to live in different rooms of the hotel. The most reliable, in our opinion, is the following
Courtyard Room - 16 sqm m. The rooms in the courtyard do not have a balcony, but there is a terrace.
Standard Room - 18 sq. m. Everything is the same as in the Courtyard Room, but instead of a terrace there is a balcony and the windows overlook the surrounding streets and hotels.
Comfort Room - 23 sq. m.
Initially, we paid for the tour with accommodation in the Courtyard Room. What we didn't like about our Courtyard Room:
- tiny area
- strong sewer smell
- the room is dark, because the windows overlook the courtyard
- no balcony
- the air conditioner is located opposite the bed, which creates inconvenience
Having made an additional payment on the spot, we moved to the Comfort Room. The difference in room rates was $10 per night. We lived in Comfort Room 444 on the 4th floor. We liked the Comfort Room very much
The room has a hairdryer, safe, tea set with a kettle. The tea set was refilled from the bar. Every day they give out a small bottle of shampoo for each vacationer. Shower gel bought in the supermarket themselves. There is a small dryer on the balcony.

HOTEL BEACH
The beach is private, equipped within the city, pebbly. One of the best in Kemer. We've gone through everything. For the convenience of vacationers, the beach is equipped with ladders for descending into the sea and wooden decks.
The distance of the hotel from the sea is 50 meters. Sun loungers and mattresses are new and free for hotel guests. There are a lot of sun loungers on the beach and they are located comfortably relative to each other. Sun protection - awnings, which is much more convenient than umbrellas. The Blue Flamingo bar on the beach is paid.
POOLS AND TERRITORY
The hotel has 2 outdoor pools and a special area in the pool for children. There is a small but well-kept green area with gazebos.
RESTAURANT AND BARS
The hotel offers an all-inclusive buffet. The hotel has a main restaurant with an indoor air-conditioned and an outdoor area, as well as 3 bars, namely Barbarossa bar, pool bar. All local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served free of charge from 10:00 to 23:00. The Blue Flamingo bar on the beach is paid. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can get snacks at the Barbarossa bar from 11:00 to 17:30. Additional meals are prepared here for breakfast and dinner.
Upon arrival, I liked the food, but as the hotel filled up with tourists, it got worse and queues began to arise. The food is modest and not very varied. Fruits and vegetables are always available. From fruits at the end of June: apples, plums, oranges, grapefruit, pears, watermelon, melon, grapes. Seafood, beef and lamb were not often given. You definitely won't leave hungry. Grilled dishes are often served at the Barbarossa Bar for dinner. Because of the queues, we took two queues at once: here and in the main restaurant.
Drinking water available in bars. Bottled water is available at lunch and dinner. The minibar is loaded with water only upon arrival.
Some remarks: there are obviously not enough employees at the distribution, which is why there are queues. When distributing fruit, small plates are used (probably on purpose). Because of what, when carrying, the contents of the plates often end up on the floor
ENTERTAINMENT
At the hotel's spa, guests have free access to the Turkish bath, sauna and fitness center, and massage treatments are available at an additional cost. Other entertainment options include table tennis and billiards. There are discos in the evenings.
THE INTERNET
Free wireless Internet access in the rooms and throughout the hotel, including the beach. WiFi is connected individually for each device, for each number no more than 2 devices.
SERVICE
There were practically no complaints about the cleaning of the room. Towels were changed every day. The restaurant is also good. The service of the staff at the hotel was amazing. Several occasions. At night, when we were sleeping, the staff opened our room with their electronic key and entered the room to show it to tourists and did not even apologize. Second case. They hung up a do not disturb sign for a rest period after dinner.
Already fell asleep when they began to knock on the door in order to fix the air conditioner in the next room. It seems that staff training is not given enough attention.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
In general, we liked the rest in the hotel and the hotel corresponds to its 4 *.
Pros: first line, new rooms, convenient location, free Wi-Fi throughout, nice beach with sunbeds, awnings and ladders.
Cons: Courtyard Rooms were not at all impressive, queues for distribution in the restaurant, food is modest and not very varied, strange behavior of the attendants.
In general, the rest was very pleasant. I recommend this hotel as I will choose it myself more than once.
