Хороший отель, прекрасное море и местоположение отеля! Good hotel, beautiful sea and location of the hotel!

To begin with, this is not the first time in this hotel. Now I will explain why. Near the hotel are Orange County Resort Hotel Kemer and DOUBLETREE BY HILTON. The pricing policy of these hotels is 2 times higher than in the Rocks Royal, BUT the sea and the view are the same, so why pay more. Yes, these hotels include imported alcoholic drinks, but taking from home or buying duty free is not a big problem. The sea is the cleanest (no wonder the hotel has a blue flag), the view is amazing! Swimming and looking at the mountains. There was something similar in Marmaris, but I liked Kemer more.

The territory of the hotel is good - there is where to walk, sit and relax. Go to the beach for about 2 minutes through the underpass (when it was autumn, they opened the door so that you could pass through the road, but now it was closed). On the way to the beach you will pass a mini zoo (ducks, chickens.

In the mornings, you can hear the cock singing)))) There were enough sunbeds on the sea at any time of the day, but we were at a time when Russians were still not allowed in large numbers. I think that with their arrival, it will be necessary to get up at sea early. For example, in the fall I did just that, there were a lot of people in the hotel, but getting up in the morning is not at all problematic for me. Quite a big pool (in the evening there are discos and karaoke near it). On the other side of the hotel there is an amphitheater (an animation program in the evenings), a children's area, a water park (the slides are all interesting and a little scary). After lunch, they serve ice cream and Turkish cakes - gozleme (sooo delicious).

By the way, at the expense of food, it is all delicious. I do not agree with the commentators who write that the food is monotonous. It seems that at home no one eats borscht for 2-3 days, and on vacation everyone becomes a gourmet) I have something to compare with, so there is enough of everything here - meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits.
There are a lot of desserts, different pastries. Local alcohol has become better.

The rating of the hotel is 9, as there are some comments about the staff. The bartender at the sea and some waiters in the dining room do everything with such a face as if you didn’t come for money, but ask them for free. They have their own good attitude towards Turkish guests, and to everyone else - at will. They can, when it suits them, pretend that they do not understand Russian/Ukrainian/English. Although, everyone understands perfectly. In principle, this is a trifle, but the sediment, as they say, remained. I repeat that only a few guys from the staff do this. The rest are great! Despite the terrifying heat, they are wearing masks, smiling, joking, wishing you bon appetit and it is felt that this is sincere. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember the name of the bartender, a very young guy (he was in the restaurant for lunch and in the lobby) is mega friendly and pleasant.
Separately, I would like to thank the person who stood at the distribution of soups, always smiling, was polite. Also, a great guy stands on the distribution of cakes and bakery products.


In principle, there are many reviews about the hotel. I want to focus on something else. Excursions can be safely taken in the agency on the street. They have a price in dollars, and the guide in euros. By the way, if you don’t take a tour from a guide, he will start to find fault with you, thereby creating discomfort. I advise you to quickly pick up your documents, say right away that you are not going on an excursion and leave. I would not mind taking excursions from a guide, but the price is much higher. I don’t understand why not make the price competitive, because they themselves know that now tourists are no longer the same as 10 years ago, when they were afraid to take on the street.
Moreover, I want to note that it doesn’t matter where you take the tour - from a guide in a hotel or at an agency on the street, in any case, you will be brought along the road to all sorts of leather / textile / onyx shops, etc. The buses are large, comfortable, with air conditioning, the driver drove so skillfully along the serpentine that he didn’t block his ears, he didn’t feel bad, and he wanted to leave a tip for his professionalism. I recommend reading the article “Lycian tombs, Santa Claus and the sunken city of Kekova” on the Internet; you will visit all this before going to the church of St. Nicholas (the price of the tour is $20, an additional $12 entrance to the temple, + if you wish, you can buy an icon in the store, which you will be taken to before visiting the temple. I recommend taking the icon already when you leave the temple - the prices are cheaper). The excursion to Pammukale lasts all day - at 5 am pick up from the hotel at 20:30 bring.
On the way to Pammukale, they will be delivered to a textile store - you can take a towel there, etc. , the quality is good. You can also visit the Turkish Maldives by ship, the cable car, whoever wants to can fly to Istanbul or Cappadocia. Almost everywhere you can pay with a bank card, money is converted at a reasonable rate and it comes out even cheaper than paying in dollars.

For those who do not want to go on excursions, there is where to take a walk in Kemer itself. If you turn left when leaving the hotel, you will go out into the street with shops (there will be a Waikiki store on the corner. Many people bought things for children there and said that it was cheaper than in Ukraine or Russia). There is also a travel agency on this street - feel free to take excursions there. There is also a pharmacy, but I advise you to walk a little along the street, because the prices in it are expensive and they are not particularly traded.

There are no prices in pharmacies, so feel free to bargain and know that for $ 10 you can buy 2 creams (you may be able to get them even cheaper). Take panthenol spray, aloe vera gel and cream with spf 50 for the first 2-3 days by the sea in the first aid kit with you on a trip. Everything burns instantly! The sun is mega aggressive, so take care of yourself!

If you turn right when leaving the hotel, then you will pass by the mini zoo and exit either to the embankment or to the square in front of which there is a large inscription KEMER and the house upside down. In the same direction there is a disco / karaoke / hookah.

All in all, I recommend this hotel. Remember that you can find fault with everything, but this hotel has minor disadvantages that are not reflected in any way on the rest in general. A lot of letters came out, if you have questions, I will be happy to answer.
