One of the countries with the best developed tourism business today is Turkey. Ulusoy Kemer Holiday Club is one of its prestigious fashionable 5-star hotels. He hospitably opened his doors almost 40 years ago, in the already distant 1989. During this time, reconstruction was carried out here many times. The latter ended just recently, in 2014, so everything shines like new in the hotel. We invite you to take a short virtual walk through it to get acquainted with the conditions of living and recreation.
Location, how to get there
Ulusoy Kemer Holiday Club 5 * HV is located in the relatively quiet resort village of Goynuk, we can say on its outskirts, from the city of Kemer. It is a little over 7 km along an excellent asphalt highway, and 45 km to the airport in Antalya. The place where the hotel was built was chosen to be unusually beautiful - among the tall pines that fill the air with miraculous phytoncides, and at the same time on the coast itself. Just a few steps to the guests of the sea. A mixture of aromas of pine needles and the sea provides passive therapeutic treatment and prevention of pulmonary diseases for each guest. And if you add to this mixture of odors the aromas of flowers, which are unusually plentiful here, you get a unique aromatherapy. It is able to relieve fatigue in just a few days, stabilize the nervous system, remove all anxieties, establish harmony in the soul and raise the mood.
Getting to the Ulusoy Kemer Holiday Club is easy. It will take an air flight to Antalya. Unexpected delays can happen only at the Turkish airport due to the long wait for the suitcases. Then everything goes smoothly. The transfer of the travel agency, in which the tickets were purchased, takes their passengers to the hotel in about 1 hour, and there they are met by the reception staff.
Tourists traveling here on their own from the airport can get to Goynuk by bus (a stop literally opposite the hotel) or by taxi.
Territory
Ulusoy Kemer Holiday Club spreads over an area of 43 thousand square meters. Tourists in their reviews note that this is not much, the territory of the hotel seemed rather compact to them. However, the modest size does not in any way affect its beauty. Century-old pines grow everywhere here, in whose branches lively pichugs chirp in every way. There are no multi-story buildings in the hotel, only cozy cottages, which are cute two-story houses with multi-colored walls, generously twined with ivy garlands.
The hotel’s landscape design is made in the form of a Turkish village - houses are located on the streets laid along the territory, each with its own color. They are called so: Blue Street, Pink, Purple. Everyone in the reviews admire how many flowers and beautiful shrubs are on these streets. It seems as if I’m in a fairyland, and that now you will meet an elf or a gnome.
In addition to aesthetic grace, the territory of Ulusoy Kemer Holiday Club HV has sufficient functionality. There is a large swimming pool, many sports fields, an amphitheater, several bars, restaurants and cafes, a shop, a free parking lot and even your own tiny zoo, which is an aviary with parrots and other birds. All objects are located close to each other, it takes tourists minutes to get to any of them from their cottage. At the same time, infrastructure facilities are located so as not to interfere with guests enjoying their vacation.

Beach
The Kemer Holiday Club has its own beach. We can say that it is a continuation of the hotel, so some cottages are located so close to it. The beach is sandy, with small pebbles. There are always enough sun loungers here to be enough for everyone. The sea on this piece of the sea coast is clean, the entrance to it is smooth, but at the bottom there are slippery stones, painfully injuring his legs. Therefore, special shoes are needed here. The beach is noteworthy in that a pier is built on it and chalets are installed, adding romance to the rest. Chalets are paid, the price depends on the season.
On the beach, you can safely lie and sunbathe, and you can actively have fun. To do this, there are plenty of attractions - banana, jet skis, catamarans, canoes. If you wish, you can even parachute, water ski, and if you are lucky with the weather, windsurf under the guidance of experienced trainers.
The climatic conditions in the Goynuk area are excellent. Since April, warm similar days have been set here, the sun shines generously, gradually warming the land and sea. At this time, the whole village is immersed in the aromas of flowering orange gardens. These gentle exciting smells give rest a special romantic color. However, in the evenings at the beginning of the tourist season it is still cool, so a warm blouse or sweater will not hurt. Hotel guests can swim in the sea only in June, when the water warms up to acceptable temperatures of + 20-22 degrees. By August, it becomes even warmer, approximately + 24-25 degrees, and remains at these levels until mid-September, and then the sea gradually cools. The beach season ends here in October.

- individual rooms are too small, there is no way to comfortably place their things, install a crib;

- food at the beginning and at the end of the season does not correspond to the UAl concept (there is no variety of dishes, cafes are closed, and only one of the bars works);

- Hotel workers do not clean the beach well enough (debris, plastic cups, butts can get caught underfoot);
- central air conditioning at the beginning of the season, when the weather is not stable, turn on for heating only for a limited time, which is why the rooms are damp (especially for cottages located in the thick shade of trees).
