First about the good:

- The hotel is small, but quite cozy, I can’t say anything bad about the territory, the staff is good and the service is normal.
- Every day several times at the entrance to the hotel check the temperature, pleased.
- The rooms are quite spacious, everything is new.
- The food is tasty, there was always enough food, there are a lot of vegetables, fruits, several types of meat in the diet, fish every day in different forms, there is always a choice of two or three side dishes. Turkish night had sushi. They also serve ice cream during the day.
All in all, it's pretty good, in my opinion.
- Despite the fact that they wrote about the lack of animation, it was, a couple of times a week, I personally caught 2 times a belly dance in honor of the Turkish Night and a fire show from a guest animator.
- The bar is open until 23:30, pretty good alcohol, there are cocktails

Now for the obvious cons:


- The hotel does not have an elevator (I lived on the 4th floor) and at the same time they do not carry luggage during check-out, so either drag the suitcase yourself 4 flights, or ask a random man to help.
- The sewage drain in the bathroom stinks terribly, you can only live with the door to the toilet closed.
- Poor soundproofing, at night you can hear any knock on the door on the floor, noisy air conditioning, good luck to those who are light sleepers : ))

BEACH

There is very little information about the beach, both in the description and in the reviews, so I will write as detailed as possible:

Walk from the hotel to the beach for about a kilometer, 15 minutes, if slowly, there are many shops near the beach and along the way.
From the hotel there is a bus to the beach at a certain time (information is posted at the reception)

On the first day, they came and realized that there was NO promised free BAR from the hotel on the beach, allegedly due to the coronavirus, but nothing was written about this, they studied the descriptions of the hotels very carefully, and without a beach bar I would not have chosen a hotel a priori, so I was very upset .
There are many paid bars on the beach, but the prices are not pleasant, for example, ice cream is 2-3 dollars, cappuccino is about 10 liras, a dollar and a half in general, so I advise you to take a thermos or a thermo mug with you on a trip and collect drinks at the hotel bar with you to the beach. Be sure to take bottled water from the hotel, since there is an endless supply of it : )))

As for the beach itself.
As I understand it, the hotel rents different pieces of Moonlight Beach Kemer every season and hotel guests can relax there. The beach is 50 meters, half of which are double comfortable beds, the second half are sunbeds with mattresses that are close to each other and half are broken. Despite the fact that there are too many people on such a small beach (of course, in the part with sunbeds there is no question of social distance), initially this was not a problem, we went to the beach early, took the bed with our towel, then went to breakfast, etc. and back to the beach.

However, then one day they began to notice that some beds were reserved - this means that now it can only be rented for the whole day for $ 5. But, we think, it's not a problem, we will take those that are still free for the hotel.
The trash started on our first Sunday. The day before, we were told that tomorrow all these beds would be reserved and they could only be taken for a fee. All day we lay on the part with sunbeds and, to put it mildly, were not satisfied. But we thought, okay, since this is only on Sunday, we’ll somehow put up with it. However, then Friday comes, we arrive as usual and all the beds are again unavailable, and on Friday, all weekends and Monday (I already left on Tuesday morning, so I don’t know how it was next). Right up to this point, I didn’t want to write a negative comment, but this is already too much. We knew that the beach was small, we were preparing that it would be 50 meters, but not 20 : )
There are changing rooms and showers on the beach (icy, though), there is free Wi-Fi.

After lunch we went to a wild beach, it is located a little to the right of the hotel beaches, there are no sunbeds, but swimming is normal, there are few people, you can lie on your towels. Beach towels are provided at the hotel reception.

I would like to advise the hotel not to save on the beach area and the beach bar, as this, in my opinion, is the most significant part of the holiday in Turkey.

In general, alas, the hotel C grade.
