It so happened that my tourist journey did not begin with Turkey, like many of my compatriots, after some time I had two attempts to get acquainted with Turkish resorts, to be honest, I was disappointed (service, geolocation, attitude, expectation ... and reality)
For the third time, my wife persuaded me to give the Mediterranean resorts another chance. And so our journey began. The hotel charmed us from the very first minutes of our stay, starting with the architecture and ending with black swans and flamingos, right on the hotel grounds! The reception staff speaks all possible languages, everyone is very polite and friendly, I was very surprised by the availability of a free Starbucks in the hotel, cuisine for every taste and excellent concerts absolutely free for those staying at this hotel! We attended events such as Olga Buzova's concert ... it was quite a performance , the girls were pleased with Shufutinsky's performance and had an amazing acquaintance with Eva Vlasova's repertoire! In general, the result of the feat is in one word "delight!"
A very cool hotel, I really liked everything, we arrived at the hotel around 8 a.m., at 10 we were already checked in, the rooms are large, spacious, everything in the room worked. The child had a birthday present from the hotel, a cake with a candle, a bottle of wine, a large plate of fruit, a postcard, it was very pleasant. Room cleaning is normal, the mini bar is replenished every day and the tea station is also replenished with tea bags and coffee every day. There is a lot of food, everything is delicious, a lot of sweets, fruits. The stars perform at the hotel every week, free of charge for hotel guests. I was also pleased that the pool has signs with a q-code that opens the application on the phone, you can order any drinks and the waiters bring everything on rollers, very convenient. The beach is clean, there are a lot of sunbeds, the sea is gorgeous, you can enter without slippers, but it's not very pleasant, it's better in slippers, we really liked the hotel, we'll come again.
We chose a hotel for a long time, prices rose insanely, in general, on the advice we took a Superior Swim up room for two plus a child of 12 years old, who is considered an adult. We did not lose. I woke up, opened the balcony and dived in. Excellent territory, our new room, food for 5, cool sea, lots of sun beds, wide and long beach. A nice pier from which it's cool to dive. There are paid bungalows. Mikhail Shufutinsky's concert was generally a gorgeous sight with an incomparable sound. There were a few more shows from 2 to 5*. A couple more live sound concerts. Starbucks, tea house, waffle house, bars by the sea and gazelles and burger and doner. The lobby bar was full of alcohol, and there was also a piano. Everyone speaks Russian, and discos are all with our songs, of course also English and Turkish. There are a lot of people, but they always found a table. There was practically no animation in aqua aerobics yoga, but everything was there. We went to the fitness center and weighed ourselves on the fifth day. Let's add tar, these are people: a family bathed a small child without diapers in a 16+ pool and said they didn't give a shit about anyone, they paid for it and the hotel said it couldn't do anything about it. Another strange family who talked very loudly in the relaxation room at the spa and after I made a remark to them, my aunt said that she didn't care what she paid and did what she wanted. This family looks like they are from Kazakhstan - there is no place to put money, the whole family went for a massage, robbed their people and with this behavior - although they spoke Russian perfectly. Another family, also speaking Russian, occupied our sun beds, which we booked for a fee, according to the numbers on the white sand, sun beds 1,2 and 3, next to Shufutinsky, but the family put things on their 4,5 and 6 and lay on ours, and I myself had to change the mattresses stained with them, there was no one at the hotel the staff. What kind of people!?
The hotel is super, I liked everything very much, the service is decent, the food is delicious and varied, the territory is very beautiful and well maintained!Our vacation is over!
A gorgeous place!! A wonderful hotel, with very decent service! Well-maintained territory! A lot of entertainment and animation!!
Cuisine for all tastes!!
The only thing I didn't like was the bartenders cheating with alcoholic beverages at the beach restaurant... The first time I came across this, instead of the original ones, local production is being pushed...It's not pleasant...
The hotel chain has been rebranded, but the service has only gotten worse, unfortunately.
Now here: "don't say hello to anyone"
There are a lot of new employees at the hotel who don't know their job at all (especially in the restaurant and snacks).
Gestrelation is the biggest minus this year! Complete indifference, a "smile on duty", no desire to help, "the day has passed and it's okay." Sadly.
The situation at the reception is the same, sad and tired.
There are employees who have been working in the hotel chain for a long time, this is just an example of service: kind, welcoming, polite, helpful
Nutrition: no one will be hungry, the quality of food: it seems to depend on the shift in the Kitchen.
5-6 buildings were renovated, the rest 1-4 : old repairs and dilapidated furniture.
The beach line is completely unclogged, it is very inconvenient to enter and leave the sea.
It's like there's no animation team, I saw it once at a concert))
The evening shows and concerts are good.
I put 3 * only because I love this hotel geographically.
We visited this hotel in August 2024. There is a large area where you can walk, the sea is very clean, the shore is pebbly. There is a very large selection of food. Entertainment for children and adults every day. There are many shops and pharmacies at the exit of the hotel.
The hotel is nice, large territory, lots of greenery. The service is excellent, the food is varied and delicious.
The show program and the disco also pleased. The only thing that probably didn't suit is a small water park.
I would definitely go a second time.
Unexpectedly nice hotel. The truth is this is called Dobedan. Completely under the Russians. All of them are practically Russian-speaking from the staff, I met one who did not understand Russian. The workers are Turks and Kyrgyz. Of course, saving on staff, the restaurant staff copes 100 percent. The first hotel where there is a mini disco for Russian children. Both the program and the subject matter. Even when presenting awards, children show something according to their capabilities. Dances, songs, poems and even jokes. They really have fun. The only thing I would definitely like to improve the organization of the meeting and registration of guests. The first impression is I don't care about you. When contacting the reception and the tour, everything is solved efficiently, quickly and in the right direction. The hotel is really almost great. The beach is rocky and pebbly. This is a minus for me. But this is Kemer, it's like this. I highly recommend the hotel. The kitchen is very decent for all tastes. I'm in it, October, and there are just a lot of people. Room in building 5, after renovation. Everything is conveniently located. It is easy to navigate, there is a map and a layout.
The hotel is good, the territory is large, the food is delicious, good mini and teen clubs, a very cool water park for children 2-13 years old! Of the cons: tired rooms, shared toilets and hotel inventory, sometimes it smells like sewage (but it seems like the hotel is being renovated by 2026).
A nice hotel. We visited in April 2024. We read a lot of reviews that after the renaming, "it's not the same anymore." Apparently we are not sophisticated... The food is excellent and varied every day, live music in the evenings, beautiful grounds. The sea was cold at the time of our visit, and we spent a lot of time in the pools. Well, as almost everywhere in Turkey, snake animation is for children.
We rest in the Dobedan Kemer department 9 times.Most of the rooms are of course still with the old design, but clean new ones are $ 300 more expensive. Every year we relax several times in other hotels, there is something to compare it with.
The hotel is excellent, clean, the staff is green, we are also satisfied with everything, mainly the CIS and we are satisfied with it, and in general, who rested where some "Europeans" will understand. In these hotels, the service is generally at zero, but I'm not talking about cleanliness at all. I once asked a question why you have (in a 5*Bodrum hotel) Is it that dirty? - Oh, it's only the CIS with a claim to cleanliness, but the Europeans are always happy.
Everything is very tasty in the restaurant, there is a variety, fish of several types of seafood sauce, squid separately, mussels. Meat is beef, lamb, turkey, chicken.
The pastries are always fresh.
The main restaurant has a Tunai waiter, (a man of 40-43 years old, not very tall, I advise you to sit at the tables that he serves. The service is excellent.
All problems, if you have any, can be solved.
Great hotel, I recommend it, you will not regret it!
And yes, the management did not change, just the owner changed the name in honor of the place where he was born Dobedan
Have a nice rest
We visited this hotel for the first time in 2021, we really liked it, the territory, service, rooms, kitchen, animation were all at the highest level! We arrived for the second time on 10/14/2024, everything has changed, the attitude towards the guests, you stand at the bar waiting for them to discuss something of their own, if you distract them, they will also swear (I know Turkish). Animation suffers, the kitchen is like a maze, it is not clear where that is, the food has become monotonous, not tasty, everything is poor (there used to be themed dinners) the rooms are old, a compliment for a second visit only to a select few is probably not worth your money!
Alva Donna, now Dobedan, is a wonderful hotel, the territory is green, large, there is a place to roam, there are refrigerators with cold water. The pools are warm and clean. The beach is pebbly, but the entrance is made. There are a lot of sun beds, there are enough. Animation is a top, there is an adult separately, further away there is a children's animation.Some advantages. The only downside is the price. For this price, it's better to go to the Maldives
Hello, this is not a bad hotel, the rooms are outdated, but the territory is excellent! Everything is more modern in Belek, but the territory is not so green!
The prices are unjustifiably expensive!!!overall a good hotel
Nice hotel, large green area. The sound insulation of the rooms leaves much to be desired. A lot of families with children, some kind of "Kinder club". I would like families with and without children to be settled in different buildings, without this it is unbearable to rest peacefully. Even 15+ people come to the pool with children
We had a rest at the end of September. Everything was great. Great territory, live concerts every day, delicious food- I really liked shurpa. If finances allow, you can go!!!
Excellent hotel, delicious and varied food, very well-groomed and beautiful territory, waiters have a separate respect, a coffee shop on site is a great place, Italian a la carte is generally top class, I recommend
A great hotel for a family vacation is just great! she left happy!
advantages: We were in a room with a private pool, almost no one swam in it, it was great. The breakfasts, lunches and dinners were very tasty, we ate to the brim, a lot of fruits. There is also a 24-hour dinner, I do not remember the exact time, but it works before breakfast, there is not all the menu, but there is still something to eat.
There are a lot of sun beds, a cool pier from which you can jump. A very large area.
Cons: The pools are all of the same depth - 1.50 m (except for children). There are no more disadvantages
Alva Donna, although she has become a Dobedan, still continues to please with service, delicious buffet, beautiful sea and family format.I really liked the duplex rooms, where the children have their own room and bathroom on the second floor.Excellent beautiful territory, the infrastructure is well thought out, we just rested body and soul.
If you are planning a vacation with your family and appreciate comfort and service in the best Turkish traditions, then you are here
We stayed at this hotel in the summer of 2024. Wonderful green well-kept territory . Lots of locations . Nice coastline. Special attention is paid to nutrition . I recommend this hotel.
Attentive and very friendly staff. Large and well-maintained territory. Clean paths and manicured lawns. The variety of drinks in the bars will probably satisfy any guest. I would like to especially mention the bartenders of the lobby bar Bayise and Gamze. Well done girls! Friendly and muddy delicious cocktails. There is also a bartender Şayin at the beach bar near the boats, also very cool. It lets go instantly, despite the fact that it's just a drink or a cocktail, or a drink with a design. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. The restaurants offer a variety of delicious dishes. We have been vacationing in this hotel for several years in a row. If there are any problems, they solve them by phone and call back to make sure everything is fine. Everything is wonderful!
A wonderful hotel. Large territory, well maintained and beautiful. Food for every taste, friendly staff, wonderful sea, we will return to this hotel again
A wonderful hotel, with a large territory, tennis courts, large chess. The food is always delicious and varied, but of course there is no pork. There is a huge selection of meat, fish, sweets, there are soups, and breakfast is always porridge, omelets - there is definitely food for every taste. There are corners on the territory where swans and flamingos live. The beaches are clean, there are plenty of sun loungers, and everyone stands under awnings. The room is spacious, there is a balcony with two armchairs and a table. All accessories such as shampoo, shower gel and dental and shaving kits are constantly being updated. Bed linen and towels are changed almost every day, daily and high-quality cleaning - the room is always clean. There are a lot of entertainment activities in the afternoon and evening, for every taste. There is a spa with many services and a gym, water sports on the beach. Spa and beach water sports are paid, but the price tag is quite affordable. There are shops (clothes, bed linen, various necessities). There were no problems with payment - Mir cards work, accept dollars, euros, and sometimes even rubles. Of the minuses (it does not apply to the father, but it is a fact) - due to the peculiarities of the climate, the laundry dries poorly on the street, the swimsuit did not dry out overnight. But if you hang it in a room with an air conditioner, it will be dry in the morning. Otherwise, everything is fine. We have already been here twice, and both times we had a great rest. I recommend it!
An excellent hotel in terms of price-quality ratio! Large and green area, lots of bars! There are children's and teen clubs where you can send children according to their age! Excellent pastry shops on site! Various artists often come.Starbucks is working!Gorgeous sea! And a very delicious dessert San Sebastian, the hotel is just hunting for it!I recommend it to everyone!
An excellent hotel after renovation is called DOBEDAN Hotel, I liked everything good cuisine , good animation , concerts are frequent, the shore is small pebbles , a good mini club for children .
Of the disadvantages of towels according to the cards !
Dobedan is cool. We are resting here right now - the end of November. After our departure, on 11/24/2024, the hotel closes for the winter. There are very few people (it seems there are more seals here than tourists), but for us this is only a plus: we were going for a relaxing sea holiday.
Despite the fact that there are few people, the food is excellent. The spa offers good discounts at the end of the season. A separate plus is the quality of the hotel WiFi: it allows you to conduct business calls without problems.
This is a great hotel!!! Wonderful vacation!!! The sea is beautiful!!! The territory is huge !!! We really enjoyed it!!! , I will come back here with pleasure
Cool hotel after renovation. The territory is large, the beach is great, the entertainment is great, the restaurants and the menu are excellent, we are very satisfied with the hotel
Nice hotel. There is a large territory, there is enough space for everyone. There are no problems with nutrition. The hotel is green, there is a place to walk. The beach is big. The rooms are normal. The hotel is a solid four.
The food is varied and delicious. Normal maintenance. The territory is large, beautiful and clean. The rooms are good, even the standards are without renovation.
This hotel has been vacationed many times, the last one was in October 2024,the hotel is mainly designed for Russians, renovation is underway, as everywhere there are its shoals and cons, of course for this money it has become expensive, the advantages are in the very place,mountains,pines,a large territory,there is where to walk inside the hotel and immediately there is a large shopping street, pharmacies, etc. outside the territory.The hotel itself is outdated, both rooms and other areas require repair, for example, the toilet area on the beach, then the cabin does not close, then the faucet does not work, although in October we lived in a newly renovated building, everything is still clean and fresh.Bar workers, this is a separate song, they are always tired, and now I would understand, the end of the season, people have been working since May like Papa Carlo and already hate everyone, but no, mV were here in May 2024, they were already like that, this is a direct minus to the hotel,it is clear that there is an inflation crisis in Turkey and etc, but I'm sorry, the price tag has grown a lot for us, but the service?the advantage of the hotel is live concerts, evening animations have become less interesting for me, or we are already experienced.And of course, I recommend the hotel, even in October it was full.
We have been vacationing with my husband since 04/19. We are leaving tomorrow. Well, what can I say... compared to dobedan in Side, I'm disappointed with the service, food, and concept. I'll start with the positive (for those who have already bought the tour and don't worry))) - beach , sea, spacious, clean, beautiful . It's spacious, probably because it's not the season yet. It may be tighter in the season. There is a very large territory, there is a place to walk after dinner and walk with a stroller, there is a Starbucks coffee shop, there is the only delicious coffee in the whole hotel, in my opinion, it is nice to take coffee with you and walk along the sea. And the sports academy and the coach are beyond praise. The gym is in good condition, the trainers have a very rich daily program, and you can find group classes for every taste and color. The girls are professionals, they give you a good load, they will look after the equipment, and most importantly, upon your return, you will be able to do these exercises at home. I express my Respect to the coaches from the sports academy, and I give them a separate big plus. The food was very disappointing. The most delicious meal is breakfast. Decent milk porridge, there is almost always buckwheat, vegetables, fruits, pastries, eggs. There is a separate children's buffet, it is quite diverse. The fitness menu is also varied. Therefore, if you watch your figure, it will be easier for you. Those who expected to surprise themselves with gastronomic delights, you will be disappointed. And the worst part is probably the dinners. Especially the grill. We never ate anything delicious from the grill. And it seemed that the grill was poorly rinsed, and the meat smelled like fish and vice versa. Room cleaning is not very good, the minibar is replenished somehow, the cleaner does not replenish cosmetic kits. I had to constantly remind her that there was a chat from the reception on WhatsApp, and I wrote there. And it seemed to me that during the two weeks of our stay, it was possible to remember that I needed to replenish cosmetic kits. In general, you'll have to carry the water to the room yourself. :-) the cocktail list in the picture is decent, in fact it's disgusting. We didn't try any delicious cocktails, maybe the mojito was good at times, and the Margarita in the lobby bar. Strawberry daiquiri, for example, imagined itself to be just a terrible quality lemonade with vodka. At the same time, we are pleasantly surprised by fast food, it is on the beach, it is at the amphitheater, quite tasty burgers, baby potatoes. We often did not go to the main restaurant for lunch, preferring to eat fast food and at the buffet by the sea. By the way, in the buffet by the sea, which has a bar and an open veranda, there is also a good assortment for lunch. There is soup, vegetables, fruits, pasta is cooked in front of you. This is, of course, an undeniable plus. We even cooked red fish steaks a couple of times. That is, if the weather is good, you can easily hang out on the beach all day, you will not stay hungry. The animation is very simple, very unobtrusive. Rather, you will need to look for this animation yourself. :-) evening shows are said to be beautiful. But there's a disco every day with the same playlist. But the children's animation, judging by the enthusiastic cry, is quite good. And it was always fun at the children's water park. And there is a large playground with canopies. They also turn on cartoons for kids in the evenings. And they lie on soft pillows and watch everything together.In general, the rest was not overshadowed by anything, everything was uneventful. The girls at Gest Relation are always very friendly. But this hotel is not worth the money that we paid for the ticket. First of all, I was not happy with the service, I was not happy with the food. There is a buffet in the main restaurant at night. That was the last time there were such disgusting cherished potatoes. In general, it's not the same at all. The lobby bar is open 24 hours a day. Therefore, if you feel really sad from a tasteless dinner, you can always wash it down)))) A good selection of alcoholic beverages. Well, I already wrote about cocktails above. But still, it was an experience, and a very good fitness tour :-)
Great hotel. In early May and in summer, you can get to the concert, which takes place at the hotel. The food and service are very good. Excellent beach and access to the sea.
We had a family vacation. The territory is large, there is something to do. I really liked it. The disadvantage is that, firstly, when the child was ill, they brought her sushi from the restaurant, the next day they left and left a whole plate. We arrive, but they are not there, it is very unpleasant for such a thing, having paid the money, they just took it and took it away. Secondly, the food is not bad, but there is no variety at all, the same thing
Well, of course, five points!
I am a proponent of new sensations, but there is a thought here - shouldn't I come back here one day?
I was thinking, what was it that got me so hooked on the hotel?
Cleanliness and positive energy emanating from the staff. You know, you smile, they smile at you, and...... life is a success.
Everything is good in the hotel - large territory, swimming pools, food, entertainment, cleanliness, location.
Flamingos walk with black swans.
I found some small things to be negative, but these are such small things.
Thanks a lot, Dobedan!
This is a heavenly place to relax for both adults and children, I will definitely come again. Thank you. Cleanliness and order, friendly staff, delicious food, every day we were entertained with concerts and representatives. Thank you, I wish you prosperity
We visited last year and did a lot of work at the hotel during the year. We have updated and built a lot of new ones. The terrace for relaxing is just wonderful. A swimming pool was built along the main building for residents of the 1st floor (it's a pity that they didn't know), I advise you to book who will go next year. Good work with clients on respeshen
I really liked everything, the hotel is super, the service is at the highest level, food for every taste, and a diet menu for children and meat for every taste and you can eat at any time of the day. The staff, without any questions, especially liked the touts for evening concerts. The rooms are on fire. The territory is large and beautiful, there is a place to walk and a lot of sun beds on the beach.
I really liked the hotel. A large territory, many restaurants, bars, and a lobby are open around the clock. There is enough space for everyone. Spacious rooms, excellent staff. everything is fine! I RECOMMEND IT!
A gorgeous hotel, everything in abundance! There is plenty of food and entertainment for all ages. The territory is gorgeous. The only thing is that the pool seats are occupied very quickly.
I've been planning to write a review for a long time. Because it's ambiguous. Everything seems to be fine. And the territory, and the sea, and food. But without fanaticism. We were unlucky with the number. The windows overlooked the neighboring hotel- right on the night disco. With all the consequences..... the room itself is old. Of course, repairs are required. Very cool entertainment programs. You don't have to be bored all day long. Delicious food. And the staff is very helpful.
The hotel is excellent, the grounds and the sea are beautiful. The activitiesare cool. On the downside, you have to ask for original alcohol at bars all the time (by default, they pour local alcohol)
The hotel is good. Liked it. One of the best I've visited in Turkey. Super buffet. Everything is in abundance and of high quality. There is a great variety of meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. Grilled, steamed, stewed, fried, pilaf, soups, desserts, cheeses (at least 10 types), salads, Italian cuisine, Mexican, Turkish. For every taste. There is a children's table. Always full of fruit. For lunch and dinner, wine is brought in a corked bottle. The number of bottles is not limited. The wine is full of decent quality. In the morning, freshly squeezed orange juice without restrictions. Honey for breakfast in honeycombs you cut yourself out of the frame as much as you want. In general, the belly feast is provided for you. In the afternoon before lunch, a snack with tortillas of several types, burgers, and other fast food, ice cream, ayran. A buffet is open at night in the hall of the main restaurant. If you arrive after dinner or leave for an excursion before breakfast, ask at the reception where the night buffet is. There are not so many dishes, but it is quite possible to eat well. A lot of free imported alcoholic beverages (balontais, Chivas riggals, jack Daniels, Jamison, tequila Almeca and many others. But there is also expensive paid alcohol. It stands on the top shelf of the bar in the main building. Polite bartenders will always fulfill your wishes. If you ask for a Huntsman master, then you will be poured a German analogue that is no different from the original (most likely it is the original Huntsman, but marketing apparently does not allow it to be done so cheaply and massively. Be sure to tell the brand of alcohol or get less high-quality or Turkish analogues. The most correct bar is the main body. There are a lot of bars near the beach, but the quality of alcohol there is significantly lower than in the main, this also applies to cocktails. You can take alcohol from the main bar to the beach. Just say takeaway or with you and you will be poured into plastic. You can ask for several doses and they will pour you at least a double, even a triple, etc. In the evening at concerts and discos, you can not approach the bar, but catch the waiters and they will bring you drinks. Now about the hotel. Large well-groomed territory. There are swimming pools (we did not go, there is a warm sea, you can swim in chemistry at home) In the evening, when they are processed, it is simply creepy with chymose. We chose a hotel so that there would be no deposits and additional fees (for a safe, towel, umbrella, chaise longue, etc.). It's super. The beach is super, but small pebbles imply corals, otherwise on the second day the soles will burn with fire and there will be pain. There are enough places for everyone. Water is everywhere without restrictions. There are refrigerators and they are constantly replenished. Sun beds with soft mattresses. In the afternoon there is animation by the pool, in the evening there is a disco, a concert, some kind of performance. You won't be bored. Now about the sad. There is a fly in the ointment in every barrel. Be careful, if you are settled in the 5th and 6th buildings, it is easy to determine by the first digit of your number (respectively 5 or 6). I do not recommend staying from the 1st to the 20th room in the 6th building all night the rumble and noise from the opposite hotel, and in the 5th from your equipment. The rooms are practically not cleaned. Only visible things are removed (skeletal paper, a bucket of garbage and towels. The vacuum cleaner is rolled with a cleaning cart, but I've never heard of it working. In two weeks, the pastel linen was changed 1 time and then after two requests to the reception. Changed in our presence. The pillowcases have not been changed once. This is the first and second problem. There is another very big jamb. These are polished marble sidewalks. There are yellow bars everywhere (carefully slippery), but the cleaning staff leaves water on the marble. People slip, fall, break their knees, beat off their fingers, etc. So be careful. And so, have a good rest! Goodbye Alva Dona, hello the new name "Dobedan". Good luck to you guys!
WOW! The food is very tasty. The staff is kind, always ready to help, smiling. Rooms are cleaned daily, everything is clean and of high quality. 10/10.
Great hotel! We are coming back here for the second time! Beautiful well-groomed territory, excellent food, high-quality alcohol, comfortable rooms, courteous staff. Evening shows 🔥🎆🎇🔥 We dance every night)
Great hotel! 90% of the staff you contact speaks Russian. Varied cuisine, you will not stay hungry. There are tables for children. The water park is not big, but it is quite enough for children. There are slides for adult children and parents. The territory is well maintained, there are coffee shops and a pastry shop with amazing waffles and various sweets.
Pebbles beach, I recommend coral slippers.
A great place, starting with the reception, responsive staff,good room stock,a variety of delicious dishes,high-quality service, well-groomed territory, and very not even small, clean everywhere ... the impression after visiting this hotel is only positive, believe me there is something to compare.The animation is decent.There is plenty of entertainment for kids.
