We rested from 1.08-08.10.24 This is not a hotel but a boarding house! Plumbing needs repair (there is always a puddle of water from under the bathtub) The food is so-so ( Grandpa in dirty pants - cooking ) The sea is 2.4 km away - 20 minutes on foot - it's not really packed on the transfer!!! The smell of a dog on the ground floor!
We had a rest at the end of April 2023! I liked everything very much! This is a great hotel! All the staff are very friendly! Special thanks to Anastasia to the administrator, very responsive, helped even with the pharmacy and the purchase of medicines not at inflated prices, and always helped at the hotel, we got a very good room!

Nice, quiet hotel. The visitors are 18+. The guests are mostly Germans, Turks, Czechs. The food corresponds to the star rating of the hotel. Alcohol: white wine, red wine, good quality beer. On the 1st floor there is a free sauna!, gym, billiards. The pool is located in the courtyard of the hotel, so it does not warm up very quickly. The hotel is located at the foot of the mountains and the pine forest. The hosts are friendly. Rooms with old furniture. Plumbing and air conditioning are in working condition. The shuttle takes you to the veranda beach to the sea. Walking distance to the sea and to the center 20-30 min. I recommend the hotel for a calm and measured rest.
I really liked the hotel, the friendly staff, I really liked it
Ilkai, attentive and friendly. The staff of the lobby bar liked it, the beach is well maintained, the room is excellent. I recommend this hotel
In general, everything went fine, although the rooms are old and the furniture is a la 90s chic, but the air conditioning works well, the water is always hot. The basik is also excellent and does not stink of chlorine. But the child was not allowed to take sweets and fruits with him to the room - it is not very clear why. Moreover, alcohol was not used (already saving for the hotel)) The food is ordinary Turkish styles ... for 4+!
Good afternoon! We had a family vacation (2 adults and a 10-year-old child) in August 2023. Type of rest: seal relax ))) We liked the hotel, we lived in a room on the 7th floor in room 712, which made us very happy, because on the top floor there are high ceilings in the room and a beautiful view from the balcony. The room has everything you need. The bed linen is normal, the blankets are good, the mattresses are too soft for us, but it's a matter of taste. The air conditioner was working properly, the main thing was to close the door to the balcony. The staff is friendly and helpful, even the tortured waiters.
Cleaning: they clean well, but for us it was at an inconvenient time - 13-14 hours, just when we came to rest in the room from the heat, it was not critical at all.
The territory is small, but very well maintained with a variety of trees and flowers, a sufficient number of benches. There is free Wi-fi everywhere, even on the beach. The pools are different - with three slides (the child liked it), for kids and standard for everyone. We were only in the one with the slides. We got acquainted with golf)) In the evening we went down to the lobby - to the bar and large tables (it is convenient to play board games). We went to the evening shows 2 times - like everywhere else. It is important that everything did not end too late - it did not interfere with sleep.
Food: good, a large selection for every taste, especially on a Turkish night (lamb and tongue are excellent). We found delicious desserts that were not too sweet for ourselves, and we were very pleased with the availability of low-fat dishes (especially grilled and stewed vegetables). Delicious watermelons, plums, nectarines. If you find fault too much, sometimes the meat was too tough))) Delicious chocolate on a chocolate evening. It is difficult to find a free table at dinner if you come by 20.00, the rest of the time there are always empty seats.
Beach: beautiful warm sea, enough sun beds, well cleaned, the entrance to the sea is not too shallow - 5 meters deep (for us this is a great option). The sea is beautiful in the morning, there are fish. In the evening, we sail garbage from pleasure boats - not critical, but not too pleasant either. You can take a mask with you - the fish are gray, but there are a lot of them.
Excursions: we went rafting - I liked it, but there is no point in buying videos and photos from it, because there will be a minimum of yours in the general crowd. The same trip included a buggy (I didn't like it at all, there is something to compare it with) and a trip to the gorge (picturesque views, a broken-down micro-bus - it was fun to go).
We will be happy to return to this hotel again if we have the opportunity!
We had a rest in July 2024 at this hotel, we really liked everything: the territory is clean, there are no foreign smells, the rooms are clean, they clean every day.
The hotel is for three, needs repair. Located next to a mountain and a pine forest. Everything is so old, worn out. The location is far from the sea, 15-20 minutes on foot went to the wild beach. The hotel has its own sun loungers on the beach and the bus carries, but we went once. Far away and there is not enough space, sun loungers on top of each other, large stones. There are a lot of foreigners in the hotel. The food is so-so, the first time we were in a hotel where there are no French fries. Even if the food is weak, potatoes are always a help. And so the breakfast is standard: yogut, cereals, sausage, cheeses, olives, olives, jam, pancakes or omelet, boiled eggs. Lunch is meager. And oddly enough, olives and olives are only for breakfast. Dinner: pizza (not really) was taken once and enough, meat is rare and only the remains of chicken, liver, hearts, fish for seven days once and then the smell and taste of a long-lying. Fruits are only watermelon and melon, then the melon disappeared. From drinks alcohol: dry red and white wine, beer. The rest is for money. Non-alcoholic juices jupi, cola, sprite (soda), fanta, coffee machine and tea. No more foot in this hotel. Not worth 117 thousand rubles
The hotel is just a fairy tale.High level of service.Dishes for every taste, aesthetic presentation, abundance in everything, both food and drinks.All conditions are created here for a person to rest, gain strength and energy by 100%.You don't need to look for entertainment somewhere in the city, everything is on site, both for children and adults,evening shows, children's programs for children, aqua aerobics, yoga, you can't list everything, a huge selection, everyone will find something interesting for themselves!!!Beautiful, well-maintained territory!!!Great hotel-I recommend it
A beautiful place. Very magnificent territory. The sea too. Nice rooms with enough furniture. Unobtrusive staff. The power is constant. Day and night. And I just really liked sitting in a coffee shop 🫶
I had a rest from April 20 to 28, 2023. I liked everything. The territory is well maintained, excellent, everything is beautiful, flowers. The buffet is excellent - everything is beautifully decorated, it's not easy to fill your stomach, but you are waiting for a beautiful decoration. The hotel is aimed at Germans, so their overwhelming majority is 80%, the rest of the Europeans are about 20%. Nearby is a large Alara Grand Bazaar for shopping. You can go both independently and with a group on an excursion to Alanya and even Antalya
It seems like a good hotel, the area is green. The food is also normal. But something was missing. The pool with boiling water) was the end of July. Condey did not work at the reception desk.
A good, high-quality hotel, we did not notice any difference in attitude towards different nationalities, spent 10 days at the hotel, the staff was always polite and courteous. We arrived early in the morning, and we were provided with a room without additional charges and even upgraded its category. The food is of high quality, everything is very clean, the garden is very beautiful. During the 10 days of rest, there have never been large waves, because of which swimming would be impossible, since this is a bay. Sometimes there were algae, but only near the shore. In general, the conclusion is that as you treat people, so do they treat you. I recommend the hotel, because at today's prices, it is the best option between an economical and luxury vacation.
We were in August-September 2023. The hotel is nice, beautiful, well maintained. There are a huge number of Germans, so Russians, and especially Belarusians, don't give a damn there, all attention is paid to them. The hotel is quiet, more for pensioners (by the way, there are a lot of them there). There is nothing for young people to do there, especially with children. The animation is boring and the Russian words we know rarely sounded. As for children's entertainment, the children's pool smells very much of bleach and is not completely safe (the child broke his lip when sliding off the children's slide). There is a mini club where our kids went and, in principle, were satisfied. There was a swimming pool with three slides nearby, children were injured from one and then it was closed for a day. Healthy men came down from these slides at a huge and unsafe speed every day, splashing children into corners. When asked to ride a little quieter, the hotel administrator said that they could not forbid adults to ride and also threatened the police that we had made a noise from scratch. And the rescuers who keep order on these slides laughed loudly in our face because our request was refused. We had to go to a safer place with our children. The food is varied, a lot of beautiful things, but not always delicious, we really missed homemade food. Borscht does not look like borscht, pasta generally stank all the time, the fish is always the same, it is not possible to take potatoes in your mouth. It was difficult to feed the children. The children shoved drinks and ice cream into themselves to somehow fill their stomachs. The sea is normal, every day there is a big wave with a lot of mud, pebbles on which it is difficult to walk. Children and adults alike were simply knocked down by the wave. The first review was written while at the hotels on the last day, to which we were called in response and began to threaten that we would have problems. Therefore, I am writing a truthful review now. The hotel stretches for 4, you can go for a relaxing holiday next to the pensioners. But there is nothing for a family with children to do there. Compared to the other five we were in, I don't want to go back to this one. It's not worth the money.
Many thanks to Irina Alilove travel for sending us on vacation to this amazing hotel Saphir resort&spa!!! Beautiful well-groomed green territory, delicious varied food, courteous staff, clean sea, funny Russian animators Diana and Dasha-you are cool! We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends!👍
5 stars, the food is delicious, the rooms are clean, the pool is cool, the water park is small, only 3 slides, the sea is close, there are a lot of sunbeds. There is a Turkish market nearby.
For a room with a sea view, you need to pay an additional 7 euros per person for each day of stay
An amazing hotel. Very clean. The territory is small, but so well thought out that when the hotel is fully loaded, you will feel comfortable in any area. The work of managers is at a high level. Many thanks to the girls at the reception, Anna and Anastasia, for their willingness to help at any moment.
The simplest five. The territory is not large, clean. The beach is clean, there were enough sun beds for everyone. The only thing that came to the beach from other hotels (not the first line), but the sunbeds were not occupied, they just spread towels on the sand. The rooms were cleaned every day, there are no complaints. The food is not to say that it is varied, but there was a choice. There is trouble with bars, it seemed that the bartenders worked the first day, they do not know basic drinks, the quality of alcohol is 3/5. Wifi worked without interruption throughout the territory.
Overall, it's not bad, but it could have been better.
I am in this hotel now. I will write the differences between this hotel and the hotel located next to gypsophila holiday village, where I rested in 2022 at the same time. Unfortunately, this year the flight to this hotel was only for 10 nights and I decided to find an alternative in the same area.
In principle, Saphir is not a bad hotel, it's big, there are a lot of greenery, but there are so many little things that at least I won't want to return to this hotel.
1. The food is monotonous and tasteless, although I'm not picky, but even the vegetables were all deep-fried, the soups were less, they were able to spoil the rice, it was always boiled like porridge. Although I have always loved their rice very much in Turkey.
In gypsophilia, the food was much tastier and rice and snacks and vegetables
2. Restaurant service, as already mentioned above - only for Europeans, it didn't bother me.
3. Bathrobes for a fee - 11 euros. They said such a hotel concept, which is very strange for such a price range (in gypsophilia for free)
4. There are no schemes of all restaurants, you probably need to walk around the hotel on arrival and explore everything, it's very inconvenient
5. The beach - there are two Kirman hotels nearby, a bay, a lot of people, boats, motorcycles, there were gasoline stains on top of the water. I went to the right, there were empty hotels, there were almost no people, and I swam there.
6. Spa : if you do massage, then only Murad, there are Thai girls, massage is just nothing for such money, the first time doing massage, the masseuse fell asleep, I was just shocked. Got up and left.
I won't write anything about animation, I didn't use it, I just came to enjoy the sea.
The conclusion is that hypsophilia is cheaper, but it's much better there.
I liked the hotel itself, the territory, the beach line (long, there are many sun beds, free ones could be found at any time, sun beds at a distance from the water, and not end to end, as in some hotels), the food is varied, delicious, refrigerators with water and drinks throughout the territory, coffee machines, free ice cream. The area is very green and well maintained, several wicker hammocks)
A good hotel, corresponds to the top five, ultra all inclusive, rested for the second time, the previous one was about 5 years ago. It definitely didn't get any worse. The staff is friendly, arrived at 12 p.m., immediately settled in, gave an invitation to a gala dinner as regular customers. The room is clean with sea view, 2nd floor, the room has a kettle, a minibar (full), good bathroom sets, slippers, hairdryer, etc. very good towels, lots of pillows, a large TV. They brought us our suitcases, a bottle of wine and sweets. The food is good, a lot of meat of different types, fish, + grill, a large number of side dishes, sweets, fruits. Waiters serve drinks, you can also pour non-alcoholic drinks yourself or take them from the refrigerator and this is only the main restaurant, plus a slightly smaller selection by the pool, there are also two more places on the territory where you can have a snack during the day, a good lobby bar, it has the best coffee, cocktails and sweets, it works constantly. Of the cons: the TV remote control did not work well, they called three times, the result was zero, until she went down to the reception and demanded to fix the problem urgently, everything was solved in 10 minutes with a new remote control. There is no Russian news on TV, only TNT, advertisements and TV series. There were always free sun beds on the beach, access to the sea with small pebbles, towels can be changed every day, they give a separate card. It is difficult to set up the air conditioner, it is too cold with it. The territory is well maintained, there are slides and areas for children. There are few evening entertainments, or rather there are practically none compared to neighboring hotels. Extending the room for three hours for two is 50 euros, not cheap. There is a room where you can leave your suitcase. The bracelet is cut off on the day of departure, but you can use everything in the hotel without restrictions. Cleaned daily, clean. Themed dinners were held. Mostly Germans with children or Russian German grandmothers, there are also young people. There is no crowd as such.
They cook very tasty, I liked the bread products of our own production, baked eggplant, shawarma. The staff is very friendly. The beach is small, there is a barbecue from the hotel. Good price-quality ratio.
The service is excellent. Waiters sometimes anticipate desires and bring drinks themselves, seeing that the glass is empty. The staff is polite and tidy. Not everyone speaks Russian, but they try to understand and help. There were no complaints about the food. The food is simple, delicious, and there is a choice. Alcohol from bottles. A good local semi-dry wine, whiskey is quite drinkable, beer is surprisingly Heineken, not Ephesus and it can really be drunk. The bartenders prepare quite tolerable cocktails. The restaurant has its own terrace overlooking the sea. The area is clean, I especially liked the park. On the path running in the garden along the embankment along the beach there are comfortable gazebos with transparent curtains and pillows on the floor, wicker sofas with pillows. There were always places near the pool. There is a separate pool for the kids under the tent and a separate pool with three different slides quite high. A large enough pool with cool water in the SPA under the roof for those who want to cool off. The sauna is constantly empty and hot in it, despite its quite decent size. There are many comfortable places under the roof and without where you can sit. A spacious lobby with lots of sofas, armchairs, with a terrace overlooking the sea and a bar inside. To get to the restaurant, you need to go down from the lobby level to one floor, to the pool and park level on two floors. The hotel stands on a hill. The elevators have a transparent capsule and going up inside the hotel you can see the lobby and the entrance from a height while inside the hotel. Wi-Fi takes you confidently almost all over the hotel, even on the beach. For free and at an acceptable speed. There is a blind spot on the right side of the park, but these are small things. Hammocks and a mini-golf course are suspended under canopies of greenery in the park. Clubs and balls are in the same place, there is no need to search the hotel. There are several places for snacking between meals in the restaurant. The beach is clean, it is being watched. There are always free places on the sun loungers. The sand does not reach the water itself. There is a narrow strip of pebbles, then very small pebbles, almost coarse sand at the entrance to the water. The water is clear, but the bottom goes down quickly. The hotel is a 1-1.5 hour drive from Antalya and 40 minutes from Alanya. On the porch next to the entrance to the hotel there are sofas on the street running along the first line of hotels. You can sit in the evening, drink coffee or something stronger, watching from above from the porch as tourists walk by, rare cars pass by. You can go for a walk, there is a 24-hour shop opposite, there is a mini market and a summer restaurant not far down the street. You can walk through the line of suites to the main Antalya-Alanya highway. Go through an underground passage or an aboveground one and get to a huge covered bazaar. There are whole alleys and intersections along the pavilions, a mini shopping city. There is also a Migros in the bazaar. We consider ourselves lucky with the hotel. Animation is present. There were discos and various groups of artists.
The worst otfh in Turkey. The price does not match the quality at all ... 1) disappointment at check-in: they gave a room in the left wing of the hotel windows to windows with a neighboring hotel, but you can survive it, the worst thing is that 8 working ventilators or some buzzing working devices go out to this narrow gap between the hotels. The noise of hell is heard through the closed glass package. Persuasion and simple persuasion managed to persuade to change the room to 2 floors above, the noise on the 6th floor is audible but not so much. The carpet in the rooms is spotted, ugly dirty, battered. 2) room cleaning is bad, the maids come before lunch, it is not convenient and not pleasant, we asked not to clean... we tried to leave a tip, no one was there anyway, the money was left lying, the room was not cleaned 3) children's service: there is no children's menu, there are sausages only for breakfast, there is not a single porridge in the breakfast menu, the restaurant has a hall with children's furniture, but this hall in the hotel was closed, a children's disco when it rains is not held, there was a huge puddle in the mini club next to the outlet, indicated, promised to call the maid, but when they never cleaned it for me. 4) elevators:if you arrive by elevator, it is not clear, the guests laugh and ride from floor to floor, the elevator system is not debugged 5) guide: tried to sell a ticket to the water park, 90 km drive for $ 160 with the presence of a similar institution within walking distance from the hotel, while the price of a visit is half cheaper 6) lunch: in this hotel to catch a lunch is difficult, it is always 1.5 hours to eat, again it is difficult to feed the child, everything is fried, for example, there is not always mashed potatoes, even there are no boiled sausages. If there are overcooked brownish-colored French fries. All this is very sad for 180 k ... I'll add a photo later. Pros: The territory is green, there are houses with cats, cats are quite well-fed and look good. This hotel was not chosen, I had to go here because the selected hotel was opened at the last minute after full payment to Pegasus. After this trip, we will tie up with Turkey, expensive and not "angry". I can't recommend Alanya for sure. The Aegean Sea region was much nicer, the service was higher, the food tastier, the territory was larger and what is more important to me than all of the above - there were much better living conditions with children. This time I was very unlucky with the rest.
We had a rest in November 2022. This is probably the best vacation in Turkey. It feels even better than in Utopia world, may Utopia forgive me. Crystal clear water in the sea, always prepared sun beds on the sea, amazing food: not just to fill your belly, but to get high from the food and the view. Fish of several types and cooking, shrimp, kebab and grilled meat. The drinks are only local, but the white and pink wine was excellent, the beer was not bad. For coffee lovers, only in the lobby, they brew from grain, in other places - drink tea! He's good, real, Turkish, strong. Ice cream and waffles are baked all day, gyuzlame, and grilled trout are served every day in the cafe by the beach. The attitude, from the lobby to the animators, is friendly, more than. They speak mostly German, but they also understand Russian better than English. Every 3 days they change the linen (I've been to a hotel where I've never cleaned in 14 days!!!) Indonesian women do massage, take it - a real nirvana))).In November, of course, there were few people, but we had enough animation and entertainment. There is a bazaar opposite, there is a bus stop nearby if you want to go to Alanya or somewhere else. Definitely back! ❤
We had a rest in early August 2023.The food is very modest, there is no variety, it is more suitable for vegetarians, there is little meat, either for lunch or dinner, as well as soy cutlets or sausages.It's a long way to the sea, 20 minutes on foot, but it's hard in the heat, there is a shuttle service, but it's always crowded, you can't get in at all.Thanks to the guide Sergey, I did not impose excursions and suggested that there is still a wild Moonlai beach, the distance is the same, but there are much fewer people and there are small pebbles behind the pier, a good entrance, the sea is clean, for lovers of wild beaches.There is no animation at all.The Internet is not expensive, $ 1 per day is available throughout the hotel.The mini-bar in the room did not work, there were no problems with water.The center of Kemer is not far away, 15 minutes on foot.The staff is polite.And so everything is modestly 3*.
Everything is awesome, but I got pneumonia there and now I'm lying in an infectious disease lol, and since the hotel is very cool, I liked everything in general
We had a rest in July 2022. A wonderful stay at this hotel. First of all, we would like to mention the spa treatments. A great team of massage therapists . They do therapeutic and relaxing treatments . Friendly and kind staff. They make discounts and leave an unforgettable rest for the body . The hotel has a good selection of drinks and a variety of dishes. There are many vacationers from different countries . And everyone is very friendly to each other.
The 4 stars hotel is solid! The food is very tasty, I really liked it! It is located on the third line from the beach, but carries a bus. There is a bar on the beach, water,tea for free, and shizlong too. The Internet is paid, but it works flawlessly!
We rested here twice, it used to be called Grand Beauty, in 2009 and 2013, the first time everything was cooler!!! Both food and animation!!! A good hotel for your money, all issues are being resolved, the food is normal, the sea is more than a kilometer away, NOO!!! You walk along such beautiful streets, flowers, bananas, oranges everywhere, mountains and pines, cacti, shops nearby, it was a pleasure for us!!! We went to the beach a couple of times by transfer to the hotel. In 2009, there was also a children's pool and the territory was large, then it was cut off /sold and residential buildings were built nearby. There is a gym in the basement. I don't know how the animation is now, there used to be a BOMB every night!!! And the place itself, Kemer, is the best in Turkey)))
An excellent hotel, a green well-groomed territory, a good entrance to the sea, you will go there with children. For a family holiday, very quiet. The rooms are cleaned every day, the food is acceptable. Be careful with the pools, most children have an intestinal infection, which is typical for Turkey.. Have a positive rest!!!
There is mold in the bathroom in the room , dirty floors , empty soap tanks , very old furniture , in the evenings Turkish music screams at the whole territory . There is no food ! Watermelon is not ripe , orange stinks of braga since it began to fade , powdered sour coffee . The chicken is simply of the lowest quality .I wouldn 't even go there for free . I didn 't expect that the declared 4 stars in Turkey could shit themselves like that . It 's far from the sea , the bus from the hotel runs on an inconvenient schedule after dinner you go to the beach or to the city on foot , at the reception there are 2 smelly dogs whose smell meets you from the very entrance , also we were met by a Turk who , when asked if we can have some water , speaks with an accent looking with malicious hatred into your eyes " dear , we have water only on the day of settlement . " When asked to replace the towels, they pretended that they did not hear us "
The beach is clean, the entrance is normal (pebbles are small).
The food is delicious
Wi-Fi coverage is everywhere and good.
The air conditioner is cooling , noisy.
Mattresses and pillows are comfortable.
The staff is polite (not everyone speaks English).
The service is 5+.
The most responsive staff.
The food is very tasty and varied.
The hotel has a small area, but everything is on site.
The beach is great.
We stayed at this hotel in August last year) Upon arrival, they settled into something similar to an Italian "cell", in addition to a double bed, there was a single bed next to it, which made it difficult to move around the room.
We were fed from morning to night, the food is usual for 4, in this hotel you will not find delicacies, and on fish days they take out one plate of grilled shrimp and already in the first minutes of the opening of the main restaurant - the plate is empty) this is the end of the fish day 😁the cooked comrades are already at a low start with a plate waiting for the restaurant to open ) I also want to note that Ice cream is freely available and of different flavors , as well as any used drinks , I saw baby food in cans : fruit and vegetable )
I liked the pier and the number of sun beds, as well as a slide in the sea - very unusual!
We visited the "Italian restaurant" - I do not recommend it, of all the beautiful things, only the name)
Spa services are quite expensive , in general we went to the sea and rest for 10 days)
