This hotel was not particularly chosen, we flew together on a "burning" tour, collecting things in 1.5 days. "Treshki" do not really scare us, because. not the first time in Turkey, lived in different categories, incl. and normal treshkah. In general - Rivero Park Hotel (former "Infiniti") deserves a solid 3 stars, if you don't particularly find fault and don't look for minuses. This is not a new hotel, the furniture is also "worn out" as well as bedding, towels, but everything is clean. Wi-Fi caught in the room, although the speed is low.
More:
Room: we got a small room on the 2nd floor, about 15 sq. m. with three beds, so there was practically nowhere to turn around. The bathroom is not new, of course, but everything is in working order, hair dryer, shower, sink; toilet paper daily, soap lay, they were never used. There is a paid safe in the closet, it was also not used, the keys were constantly left at the reception - there were no problems. There are several hangers in the closet, an old small TV and air conditioning are on the wall opposite the beds. Refrigerators, unfortunately, no. On the balcony there is a table and two chairs. There was a problem with drying clothes, because. for this, there was nothing on the balcony, except for a broken dryer, there was nothing to even pull the rope on, I had to dry it on chairs, since everything dries quickly during the day. The rooms are cleaned every day (we even refused cleaning several times), towels were changed at our request 2 times, bedding - 1 time without any problems. Every day, rooms are offered in bottles of 0.5 drinking water per person.

Staff: All staff are great! The guys working are young, but diligent, cheerful, without rudeness, and even with passion. David at the reception will always cheer you up, joke.
Territory and entertainment: This is a small hotel, 1 three-story building and -1 floor, on which there is a kitchen, dining room, rooms, laundry and access to the pool, always clean, there is a small children's pool. Poolside bar, coffee machine, tea and UPI machine. This is the whole area. On the 1st floor, next to the reception, there is an exit to the inner terrace, where there is a cooler with always cold water, you can collect fearlessly for your body (for the first time on vacation we stopped buying bottled water in the store), an old billiards, you can play, and some other then the game. All floors have rooms. Entertainment is not provided, do not forget - this is a "three-ruble note", do not expect much in this regard. In the evening, you can go to the animation at another hotel of the Residence Rivero 4 * chain, it is a 3-minute walk. Animation starts for children from 21:00, for adults - from 21:30.
Canteen, food:
Here again I must say a huge thank you to the waiters, the bartender, the guys are very diligent. Chefs make sure that there is enough food, if something runs out, they immediately take out new portions. The food is standard for a Turkish holiday, but the hotel is definitely not for small children, although there were tourists with small children. The bar is always any drinks, tea, coffee, cocoa. Perhaps the most meager is breakfast: boiled eggs, scrambled eggs (not always), sausages in sauce or fried sausages), fried peppers (very tasty), french fries (not always), several types of cheese, sausages, milk and several types of cereal , lots of jam. It gets very annoying day after day. Lunch (you won’t leave hungry): chicken, soy meatballs, cutlets (minced meat with rice) several times, a lot of vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, peppers), puree several times, of course, bulgur, rice with vermicelli , pasta, various snacks, from salads - greens in various variations, etc. From sweets to the middle of the rest, breathtaking cakes, pastries and other sweets. From fruit always: apples, pears, plums (unripe), peaches (also different), often watermelon, grapes, melon several times. Dinner is almost the same as for lunch, they gave fried fish several times: river trout, mackerel; something like stew, liver.

Beach: and WARNING! On the second day of our holiday, the beach was changed.
If earlier a part of the city beach was rented from the hotel, which is a 20-minute walk away, now it’s a fairly quick step of 40-60 minutes. On the one hand, this is a minus, but on the other hand, the water is the purest, not like in the city. There is a bus that runs back and forth to the beach almost every half an hour, which also carries tourists from Residence Rivero 4, so getting on the bus from the beach is very problematic, everyone pushes, swears, climbs with inflated circles, mattresses. Those. if the hotel is located at the exit from Kemer, then the new beach is at the entrance, the distance is very decent, by bus - about 15 minutes. We preferred to walk, but it is very difficult in the heat itself. True, no one forbids coming to the city beach (20 minutes walk) and, without taking sunbeds, just swimming and sunbathing. Renting a sunbed with an umbrella per person is 10 lire (on our vacation, the dollar to lira exchange rate was 1:6). In the morning, before lunch, we went to the beach, and after 4 pm we went to the city.
The hotel is located almost at the foot of the Chalysh mountain (the mountain with the flag is visible from everywhere). Be sure to conquer this peak, the impressions from nature, air and landscapes are unforgettable! Bring water and comfortable shoes. It is better to go out at 6 am or a little earlier (then it was hot), at the same time you will catch the dawn in the mountains. Climbing the mountain slowly, but it’s not possible in a different way, the hill is steep)), it will take 1.5-2 hours, it’s easier to get back), you’ll just have time for breakfast. Leave the hotel and go left along the paved road, leaving the city, you will reach a dirt road (30 minutes), it goes up again to the left - you are here!
We were satisfied with the rest, we were not looking for cons. The hotel deserves its stars.
