KIMEROS PARK HOLIDAY VILLAGE

We have spent a week in this hotel from 16th to 23rd of October. The positives. The environment is very nice, the food is good and there's a wide variety to choose from. It is nice that the beach is next to the hotel, so you can comfortably access it. Now, the negatives. The animation is barely non-existent. Few times we went to check the program because we heard a loud sound, however, it was only a sound record. If you wanted some activities, you had to look for yourself, nobody invited you. The activities mentioned in the description (zumba, step, etc.) do not exist in this hotel. Evening activities are repeating and short. Every evening is basically the same - some troupe with performance and dancers. Few first events were interesting, then it got boring. We missed something more interactive like karaoke or pub quiz. The staff speaks basically Russian. We were surprised that so little people spoke English. Most of the staff spoke Russian and we were annoyed that the girl in the front desk in the restaurant kept talking Russian to us, even though since the first evening we greeted her in English. Some staff spoke only Turkish. The pools are not heated. We were surprised to see so very few people in the pools, but when we tried to swim in them ourselves we understood why - they were freaking cold. Maybe that's why some activities (like water polo or pool gymnastics) were not happening. No non-alcoholic drinks. I am pregnant and my grandma doesn't drink alcohol, so we were looking for some non-alco beer or wine as the non-alco cocktails were too sweet, however, there was none and the staff started laughing when we asked for that. However, after 5 days of asking, some non-alcoholic beer appeared, so thanks for that. Medical staff. My mother-in-law was bitten by a bee and we went to see a doctor. We had a European insurance. When the staff checked our insurance they said 'oh, but it's not a Russian insurance, it would be better if it would be Russian.' Basically, they didn't accept our insurance and asked for 90 euros for the invitation of the doctor just for simple allergy ointment.

We go to Turkey every year, their 5* hotels, level of servicies, beaches and sea are among the best. Kimeros is a hotel in a beautiful setting below the Taurus Mountains, with a nice sandy and at the entrance to the sea with a pebble beach (in addition, it has 2 piers); you can enter the sea without shoes. It is a hotel with a predominantly Russian clientele. This should be noted, we had no problem with this throughout our stay. However, you can always speak English or German with most of the staff. We recommend a room upstairs in the houses in the garden. In high season, as in many Turkish beach hotels, you will probably be disturbed by the programme of the neighbouring hotel, however around 24.00 - 2.00, the entertainment and disco programmes end. You will never be hungry or thirsty in the hotel, they will take care of you 24/7. Among other things, we liked the nice evening performances in the amphitheatre, the live music and the "Oktober fest" organized by the hotel. The only thing we missed at the fest was the"Rosamunde" (beer barrel polka), so hopefully they'll play it next time, no Oktober fest is authentic without it.... What to say in conclusion? We were a bit bothered by the cats in the hotel grounds (but we were also in another 5* Turkish hotel and they had a big pen with hens and a rooster!). Their Italian restaurant seems to be a long way from Italian cuisine ... We appreciate the hardworking staff at the hotel, who were always friendly and did their best to accommodate us. In this context, we would like to thank all the bartenders at the Pool Bar and also Miss Ayse Nur, who often served us there. We wish the hotel management to have more such Ayse Nur in their hotel. Then they will surely not worry about the satisfaction of the guests during their stay.

One of the best all inclusive experiences I've had in years! Food, rooms, beach, pool, evening entertainment, guest relations - perfect. Drinks - extra perfect. Additional thanks to pool activity team captain Sonia for doing her best with this lazy crowd. :D Dining / bar / room service staff sometimes showed a lack of experience in customer service, but this was no big issue. Hotel is perfect for couples with kids. Might be bit borring for young couples.

Not long ago my second vacation in Kimeros ended. This is a very nice hotel that you want to come back to - clean territory, delicious food, great sea and wonderful pools. The staff is well trained, polite and ready to help! The lifeguard leader and his team constantly monitor safety in the sea and pools, so the chances of getting injured are minimal. Cute rabbits run around the territory) Everything was super! I will come back again!

Very relaxing hotel with kind and helpful staff. We have spent a beautiful holiday with just enough of activities in a lovely settlement well placed within the nature. Thanks to the good old trees even the heat of the region was not disturbing. The overall facilities were generously offering comfort on all the areas like pool sides and the beach, spacious areas to sit and spend time, a large variety of food and drinks at the main restaurant and at the snack restaurants almost at any time of the day. We definetely wish to come back one day.
