Best Kemer hotels for families with children

Sunny Kemer is a great place for a family holiday. This Turkish resort is often chosen by tourists with children, although Kemer is officially considered an object of youth tourism. However, active, active and inquisitive families, even with kids, will be quite interesting here. What impressions this holiday will leave largely depends on where you settle. In this article we will try to look at Kemer from the point of view of family tourism.

Kemer is a popular and, at the same time, not the most expensive Turkish resort. A big plus of it is precisely in financial accessibility for a wide variety of families. The infrastructure here is well developed, for children there is a lot of entertainment both on the territory of hotels and beyond. Kemer is the cleanest sea in the country, and the beaches are very well adapted for children's activities.

Russian-speaking tourists here will not be very difficult, because in hotels, even in three-star, the staff knows the basic Russian well, and Russian-speaking animators work with children.

Kemer reliably hides a chain of mountains from the winds, and therefore the good weather here costs longer than at the neighboring resorts. The swimming season can be safely opened in May and closed at the end of October. Shops and numerous shops offer excellent discounts, here you can and should be a long and fun bargain.

Among the shortcomings can be called untidy streets in the resort villages.

All Kemer is a few settlements with a tourist infrastructure. To see Turkey from the unsightly side, it is enough to leave the hotel’s territory and move away to the village - rubbish on the streets, barefooted and dirty children, poor sanitation and not the kindest views of the local population. A huge number of homeless cats and dogs. They are not aggressive in principle, but anything can happen.

Earn on tourists in Kemer is the sacred duty of every self-respecting Turk. Therefore, the tip, do not hesitate, and ask the bartenders, and taxi drivers, and even the janitors, if on the street to ask them how to go somewhere. All these nuances are generously compensated by the resort’s gorgeous nature - it’s sunny almost all year round, very humid and mild air, an abundance of flowering orange and tangerine gardens, banana palm trees, pomegranate trees.

Beaches in Kemer at the height of the tourist season are usually crowded, because the rest here can be called quite a budget. Most of the bathing places are pebbly and sandy-pebbly, but with a child you usually really want to lie on the soft sand heated by the sun. With sandy beaches at this resort did not work out. And therefore the enterprising Turks, who manage the affairs in the coastal five-star hotels, "helped" a little to nature and self-handled sand on the pebble coast.

Thus, many beaches belonging to hotels with 5 stars in the name have conditionally sandy beaches, however sand, naturally, ends where the water begins, and therefore it is necessary to go into the sea all the same. It is not too pleasant for delicate children's feet, but because parents should take care to purchase special beach shoes in which you can walk on land and swim in water.

The most popular beaches: city, Moonlight, beaches of Garden Resort Bergamot Hotel 4 *, RIXOS SUNGATE 5 *, Fame Residence Goynuk 4 *.

The most clean and well-groomed beaches, according to tourists, are located in the Kemer village of Tekirova, Goynuk.

Beach culture, infrastructure and cleanliness are usually rated at the Blue Flag International Award. A number of Kemer beaches have such an award, which is indicated by symbolic flags placed on them. Umbrellas and chaise lounges are free for hotel guests who own a bathing place, for everyone else - for rent for a fee, but it is small - about 1-2 dollars.

• Gural Premier Tekirova 5 *. This hotel is located in the village of Tekirova and is famous for its well-thought-out "children's policy".

In the third club waits for teenagers - from 10 to 12 years, and in the fourth - welcome guests from 12 to 18 years.

• Akka Antedon Hotel 5 *. Excellent family holidays can be organized at this hotel, which is located in the village of Beldibi. Its water parks are not here, but there are several children's pools in water slides, designed for different age guests, and a baby carriage, a bed in the room and a high chair in the restaurant are completely free. The kids club at the hotel is one, but it is considered the largest in all of Kemer. An unforgettable leisure awaits the child in it.

Animators on the beach teach children and teens to water sports, and in the pool every day there are classes for children's groups in aqua aerobics.

• Amara Dolce Vita Luxury 5 *. An ideal hotel for families with children, far from the center of Kemer with its youth clubs and nightlife for as much as 20 kilometers. It is offered to families in villas, and each has its own small heated swimming pool - this slightly compensates for the narrowness of its own beach, on which lovers can sleep longer places can not be found. The hotel has a children's club, animators work, every evening for children - a separate entertainment program with a disco, contests, games and the real prizes.

All Kemer hotels are working on the "all inclusive" system, the vast majority have the prefix "ultra" (adults will understand!). When choosing a hotel, it is not enough to know that everyone included in the accommodation, you must make sure that this very concept included a children's table, a children's buffet (after all, the child sometimes asks to eat more often 3 times a day). It is also worth finding out what attractions and sports facilities you can visit here for free.

All questions can be asked by calling the reservation department. By the way, it is better to leave a reservation in advance. If you choose and book a room for the summer in the winter, you will certainly get a good discount: it can reach 20-25%.

In order not to regret the money spent and the time spent in vain, with children it is best to stay in five-star hotels - there really is everything provided for children's leisure. In extreme cases - 4 stars.In hotels with a troika in the title, the children have nothing special to do, sometimes there is not a single water slide, and you can also forget about the children's menu.

If the hotel has little entertainment, and is tired of lying on the beach, then with a child in Kemer there is where to go. Here is just an incomplete list of places that you can and should visit if you got into Kemer:

• water park Dolu Su;
• Kemer's Dolphinarium;
• trampoline park "Moonlight";
• dinopark-dinosaur owner in real magnitude;
• Ethnographic Museum in the center of Kemer;
• "Ulupinar" - a trout farm - a great place for family fishing;
• excursion to the mountain Tahtaly;
• a trip to Antalya - there you will find a huge number of water parks, amusement parks, attractions and a large aquarium;
• ruins of the ancient city of Phaselis.

Recently in the Turkish resorts in the summer often registered cases of infection of children with the Coxsackie virus. Be careful and do not let your child swallow water from the pool and the sea. There is no vaccine for Koksaki. However, before leaving for Kemer, in any clinic, all family members can be vaccinated against rotavirus, which is also a fairly common “tourist” diagnosis in Turkey.

Do not let your child drink water from the tap at the hotel, always water it with bottled purchased water, because Kemer water networks are very old and no one is responsible for the quality of the water.
