Хороший отель, полностью себя оправдал Good hotel, totally worth it

We rested in this hotel in August 2021, this was our third visit to Olympos. A huge plus is the location of the hotel!
The hotel is not new, it was built in the 80s, in the era of the beginning of the development of Kemer as a major resort, so it has such a cool location for a 3 * - the first line in the very center of the town. The food at the hotel for 3 stars is very good, the chefs try to diversify the table, they cook quite tasty, and in the evening they always cook something on the grill. We came to eat at the very end (we don’t like crowds), and there was always enough food left, you can eat to satiety)) For breakfast, eggs 2-3 cooking methods, pancakes, cereals, local cheeses and olives in assortment, but the choice of cold cuts is more modest . For lunch and dinner - fish and meat often, chicken and meatballs always, and a lot of Turkish-Balkan cuisine from vegetables: eggplant, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, as well as several side dishes.
Delicious local flatbreads with stuffing like pizza, desserts, there was often baklava, but I would have liked more choice of fruits (usually there were always apples and plums and, in turn, they gave grapes, watermelon or melon). For an afternoon snack, pastries - biscuits, muffins. There is no special children's menu, and in general the hotel is aimed at adults and older children, although they also relax with kids. The restaurant is located in the open air, part of the tables - on the terrace overlooking the promenade, palm trees, sea and mountains. Until 22.00 tea and coffee are available in the coffee machine (quite strong and taste acceptable). If you are late for breakfast, lunch or dinner upon arrival, you will still be fed: the staff is very hospitable and friendly.

Check-in immediately upon arrival, if there are free rooms of course. So, as a rule, you don’t need to wait until 2 pm! The hotel manager, Osman, is always willing to help and will try to give you a better room or move you in a couple of days, when something more interesting becomes available. The repair in the rooms is not very fresh, cosmetic, in some places something is worn, broken and may not be very aesthetically pleasing, but they always clean it. On the third day we hung a do not disturb sign, as we did not need daily cleaning, and the maid was very conscientious. The rooms have a small refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, hairdryer, shower, toilet. Drinking water in the room and at the bar is free.
This hotel is of urban type (almost without territory), with direct access to the promenade - a picturesque alley above the sea. Walk 5 meters to the beach through the hotel bar, which is very convenient)) Turkish drinks, but in assortment, local wine is not bad (table) and beer is good. It rarely happened that closer to 22 pm (bar closing time) there was no drink, but the bartenders can always offer some kind of cocktail! As for the beach - it is not very big, cozy, pebbly, like everywhere else in Kemer, there is a shower and a beach bar (Turkish coffee is prepared well for $ 1.5, but fresh juices from street vendors are 2-3 times cheaper, from the minuses of the beach bar - they periodically play Russian pop and bad rap, fortunately, not only that. In general, in the evenings, music in the beach bar and animation from neighboring hotels can interfere with vacationers in the front rooms of the hotel, consider this when checking in if you go to bed early).
Sun loungers on the beach are free for hotel guests, but many vacationers have a habit of taking seats at dawn and being absent for half a day, or even all day. And according to the rules of the hotel, if you are gone for more than two hours, your sunbed can be borrowed. If you follow the rules and be mutually polite, there would be enough places for everyone. Vacationers are mostly Russians, Ukrainians and Serbs, there are also locals. The hotel staff is trained, polite, and the manager is a real professional, everything is under control. The common areas are kept clean and pandemic sanitation measures are followed. Also, the staff makes sure that guests do not get drunk in the bar and do not rowdy, but they do it unobtrusively and tactfully. 24/7 security also works great, the hotel is quite safe. Therefore, as for 3 stars, we really like the hotel. We have already rested there three times since 2018 (by the way, there are a lot of regular customers in Olympos, which speaks for itself).
Total: from the minuses - an outdated number of rooms and, maybe for someone, the lack of a pool (we never need a pool at sea, so this criterion was not taken into account at all when choosing) and territories, and evening animation only once a week (but we are not fans of hanging out at the hotel, we prefer walks by the sea and around Kemer, so for us it was not a minus). Pros - this is an excellent location of the hotel, one of the best in the city (first line + the very center of Kemer, 3 minutes to the main shopping street and city park, 10 minutes to Moonlight Park), good food, (better than in other Turkish "fours" ), polite attentive staff and, of course, a bar with an open terrace, which not every good restaurant can boast of (beautiful views of the sea, yachts and mountains). But the undoubted most important plus of the hotel is its excellent price / quality ratio, perhaps, according to this criterion, this is one of the best 3 * options in Kemer!

And separately, once again I would like to note the hotel manager Osman, who always keeps order and is attentive to the guests, for which many thanks to him ! ! You rarely meet such a professional who lives by the interests of his business, respect. It should also be added that at the very entrance to the hotel there is a shop where we pampered ourselves with delicious ripe figs of 30-40 lire kg and other fruits, and on the contrary - several travel agencies (it was especially pleasant to deal with Isa from Ginza travel, the one that away from the hotel). There you can use free wifi, which is not available in the hotel, as in most local 3 * and 4 *. About the tour operator: this time we rested with Pegasus, and it was our best experience in Turkey, the work of guides and logistics cannot be compared with the Anex tour, for example, but this should be written separately.
