Swandor Hotels and Resorts Kemer

We have just returned from a great 10 nights at the Swandor. Positives - Beautifully clean everywhere, including beach toilets! Branded spirits used as standard Lovely modern, neutral decor 2 bed suite was excellent, spacious, good location. No fighting for sunbeds (some reserving but still plenty left) HUGE buffet Masses of tables, didn't struggle to get a table for meals at all Lovely staff who make the effort to remember you Huge pools which didn't feel overcrowded Jetty on the beach is really lovely, chilled, amazing clear blue sea with lots of access directly off the Jetty. Impressive entertainment, huge arena, great service but why plant trees right in view of the stage?!

Personal observations - This is a huge hotel which is brilliantly run but you have to be prepared for the sheer volume of guests, especially at meal times, it's pretty overwhelming! The buffet whilst huge was very repetitive for all meals and extremely lacking with hot vegetarian options. Narissa snack restaurant is really nice but limited choice For lunch & dinner, the main restaurant is only open 12.30-2 and 7-9pm which feels quite rushed particularly for dinner. Only one of the a la carte restaurants is included (turkish) and whilst service was great, food was very similar to main restaurant. It's really nice to have glasses not plastic by the pool but there were several breakages so please wear flip flops at all times! The tiles by the pool are very slippery, (I saw people slip and fall every day) wear flip flops and get water shoes for kids who can't not run! Signs say no reserving sunbeds but the number reserved for hours on the Jetty was ridiculous. There are no quieter pools to go to and the music, activities etc are pretty constant which is fine, but just in case you're looking for peace and quiet, it isn't here! Drains in bathrooms need some attention, our sink smelt really bad.

Fantastic hotel (this was our 11th holiday to Turkey in hotels of this standard and we were very impressed, but it is very big and busy (but also peak season).

In general, hotel looks really beautiful, renovated nicely. Pictures from internet corresponds what it is in reallity. Swimpools were super, especially for kids was very good. Evenings shows were really nice. Rooms were good, clean. Negative points: too much stuff from Kazakhstan who were very rude in communication (at first took your plate, then asked if you finished). Through evenings shows, from some tables took order, from next tables no… Food also could be more different, main restaurant quite big, but food everywhere repeating.
