Golden Lotus Hotel

This hotel is situated in a great location on the beach and within walking distance to the centre of Kemer. It is very clean and the staff on reception are very helpful. Ample toiletries were provided in the bathroom. There was a good selection of food at at breakfast and dinner. On the negative side the beach is narrow so the sunbeds are packed in very closely together. Also found the person who runs the Spa area downstairs quite unhelpful.

Pro’s Originally, we booked and paid extra for a sea view room, but this was through Loveholidays and not the GL hotel direct. We were given a room in the central core of the hotel with no window but a sliding patio door onto the passage way with people walking past. Emilie on the front desk was able to change the room but only half way through our stay. We viewed that room with the window but no sea view which was smaller and decided to stay in what we had as it had an excellent wet room for the bathroom. The room was very clean and tidy with towels being changed every day and the room made up very nicely. The air conditioning is very discreet and worked well. The rest of the hotel is kept clean throughout all day long. It must be said, Emilie was really helpful throughout our stay. So, the hotel is OK, it has a certain calmness about it, the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times although hardly any English is spoken. We only met two other English people in our whole week. It was predominantly Russian and German guests, so we saw no smiling faces whatsoever! The beach and the jetty, the sea, the sunbeds, and the hotel’s swimming pools are small but adequate. Both pools are of a reasonable size for the hotel but no good for lengths. The sea water pool in the Spa area is great. There was entertainment on one night only which was in fact excellent. Con’s Being all inclusive, we expected our food and drink to be edible and drinkable, but this was definitely not the case unfortunately. All food was served lukewarm unless you had a fried egg or omelette in the morning or took food from the griddle station in the evening or lunchtime, but you needed to wait whilst it was cooked and took it immediately otherwise it went into a bay Marie and either stewed or dried up. Not one hot meal the entire week. Unfortunately, the house wines were really something not to be laid down but to be avoided! Cocktails or mixed drinks were basically revolting (sorry, but it's true). The Tuborg lager and local cognac were OK. Everything else was avoided once tried. So, it’s a nice hotel, great location on the beach and 5 minute walk from the noisy and brash high street. Breakfast & lunch palatable (but only just) which forced us to eat & drink outside the hotel after the first night.

Hotel is clean and is in a walkable distance to town's main attractions. Everything else is just bad. Ran down rooms with AC that barely works. There is no beach just giant rocks, pool is colder than the sea, terrible WiFi and repetitive food that lacks any flavor.

We have been here as a family with a small child, it is a very nice hotel that radiates tranquility, the employees are all very friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and variable, the hotel and rooms are clean, the location is really great on the beach and within walking distance of the shops / restaurants, I can also highly recommend the spa in the hotel, very knowledgeable people who know exactly what they are doing, I was massaged by Dilan, a real winner in her profession, but the male masseurs are also very good from what I have heard from ladies who have been massaged by them, we will definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend it.

A/C of the room was constantly out of service during our stay. Bathroom had worn out shower curtain. There is not enough space at the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful to guests. Food was perfect except the dessert buffet.

If you prefer a place for your summer holiday which is not too big, basically at the city center, with direct access to its own beach, very well maintained, clean with helpful, kind but not intrusive staff, this is the place to go. I have been travelling around the world and good hotels can be found everywhere. So what specifically makes this hotel among the good ones?! I already mentioned some of the traits in my first sentence. Still, it is worth highlighting that this hotel is maintained daily. This means, people are fixing thing continuously. That is rare. It is very clean and the staff makes it stays clean throughout day. Another pretty amazing thing was a smooth operation and management of hotel staff specially the one in the kitchen and dinning hall. The moment you turn your had the table behind is cleaned and ready to be used by another guest. The waiters and supervisors are there if you need them. Otherwise they are absolutely kind and noninvasive. The supervisors quietly monitor the process, help where needed and give orders almost without being noticed. The food was excellent if you like lots of Turkish dishes, lots of fresh vegetables, salads, fruits like we did. Every nigh, the hotel offers a special meal prepared in addition to the regular offer. It may also be decisive for you to know that English is spoken in this hotel, guest are from different countries (not only Russia) and music is variety of local an international pop.
