Kemer is an amazing resort. Sandwiched between the Mediterranean Sea and the Taurus Mountains, it delights the tourist with amazing landscapes. A holy place, as they say, is never empty. Gradually, the town of Kemer was overgrown with satellite villages. One of them is Goynuk, whose name translates as "fertile valley in the place of heavenly radiance." Here the glitter of the sea and the azure sky penetrated by the sun's rays really merge. Pleasant Mediterranean climate, mountain air filled with the scent of coniferous forests and pomegranate gardens, a huge number of historical and natural attractions in the vicinity - what else is needed for a cloudless holiday? Literally for every taste and wallet size, hotels are presented in Goynuk (Kemer, Turkey). Grand Lukullus Hotel is one of them. We will consider its advantages and possible disadvantages in this article.
Location of the complex
The hotel is located in the very center of the resort village. This means that shops, souvenir shops, as well as the main promenade - all this in five minutes. Also near the hotel stop Dalmushi - local minibuses and intercity buses. If you will independently get from the airport of Antalya, then the trip will take you an hour. Eight kilometers from the village of Goynuk there is a small but ancient town of Kemer. Grand Lukullus Hotel 4 is located on the second line. A road separates it from the sea. To the pebble beach - about 600 meters, to the sandy beach, where free minibuses run from the hotel, a little more. Taking advantage of the central location in the village, the hotel administration headed for the organization of a relaxing family vacation. Do you want a drive? Around the corner begins the main resort boulevard with numerous entertainment venues. On the territory of the hotel there is peace and comfort.
Rooms
Grand Lukullus Hotel 4 Kemer used to be called Lucullus. It was built in 1996. But do not be afraid of unrepaired walls and old furniture. The last reconstruction took place in 2008. The hotel belongs to the so-called "urban" type, that is, its homestead territory is quite small. The hotel complex consists of two buildings - three and four floors (all of them have elevators). Between them are pools. In principle, the quiet, almost family atmosphere in the hotel allows you to create the fact that there are only 84 rooms. Two of them are fully adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. All guest rooms are equipped with balconies. Each of them easily accommodates a table and two chairs, so you can enjoy the views of the mountains or watch the children splashing in the pool without leaving your room.
