Rose Resort Hotel

The only reason this hotel got 1 star was due to the weather. On arrival late at nite we were given our room and omg it was awful. It was the smallest room I've ever seen. The shower was pathetic. The balcony was soo small. At reception we were told this was an upgraded room, and as it was so late we would be able to see our economy room the next day, but we're told the economy rooms were not as nice as upgraded room and they were smokey - this was from reception man. So the next day we went bk to reception and we went to view our economy room, expecting it to be awful but no it was perfect. Nice size, great balcony with a great shower. Not any smell of smoke at all. So we were more than happy with our economy room. It's wrong that reception try and get you to upgrade when there's no need. The food - hmm the food was the worst food I've ever had. I'm not picky but I can in all honesty say I've never eaten any food as bad as this. The outside food bar was a nice touch - we lived on salad (there was a lot of salad lol) and chips. The pool area was nice and the pool was amazing... This was cleaned regularly. The staff were all great I wouldn't return here, don't waste your money find a better quality hotel

My wife and I (Both 47 years old) have just come back from 10 nights in Kemer which is our second visit to Turkey as we did Side last year. I will give an honest review as I can. So lets start with the Pros of the hotel. Close to the beach with own private beach (5 minutes walk max) don't serve Alcohol for free at the beach but soft drinks are free. Two pools although the small second one takes a bit of finding as its hidden at the rear. Separate Patisserie that does nice cakes from 10am till 5pm and amazing ice cream between 15:00-17:00 , the lady working in there is one of the only members of staff that smiles. Cocktails are good (all inclusive) Mini fridge and kettle in your room Safe was free Sun beds have nice padding at the pools and on the beach. Room was basic but clean and cleaned daily Outside seating was good and plenty of it, also nice to be able to eat inside or outside. Free water all over the hotel so once you buy your first bottle from the shop next door just top up. So now for the cons Breakfast is poor if you are English as its all geared around Russians so if you like salad for breakfast you will love it! Only show cooking is at the snack bar and that's very basic and if you don't read this review you wont even know they are cooking as no one tells you. They keep running out of plates and cutlery at meal times The main evening meal time is from 18:30-20:30 but they don't replace the food when it goes so if you get there at say 19:15 you get the left overs. food is 80% salads and 20% meat and is the same day after day. The bar in the restaurant has one staff and you cant help yourself to any soft drinks so the queue is always long Once the desserts are gone they are not often replaced The main entrance door into the hotel didn't work. The staff don't smile and its the first hotel we have stayed in with such miserable staff that we did not tip them! only the lady working in the Patisserie smiled and was nice. The hotel location is close to the beach but not close to any kind of nightlife or even just a few shops and bars. 20 minute walk to Kemer centre and a bit further to the marina. we got a taxi to the marina for 5 Euros which was worth it. The bar ran out of rum, red wine and tonic while we were there, A joke on an all inclusive holiday to be honest. What kind of bar runs out of tonic water!! Other than the bar in the restaurant that's only open at meal times there is only one other bar which is the outside pool bar. Bar kept running out of glasses so I had red wine in every glass including plastic that you can think of. Alcohol stopped at 23:00 (not that it bothered us but most are midnight) snacks once cooked at the snack bar went stone cold, they did not keep anything warm. (although their chips were nice when hot) WIFI not free and to be honest it was not the best signal when sat near the pool (20 euro for 10 nights) Orhan the tour rep is a con man. He says he needs to see you to discuss your transfer home pick

The DG Rose Resort Hotel in Kemer offers a pleasant and relaxing stay, ideal for both adult families and couples. The hotel boasts a beautiful location, with picturesque views of the Taurus Mountains. The rooms are basic yet clean and comfortable. The staff at the DG Rose Resort are friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The manager, Tekin, is always present around the hotel. He and his staff are very contentious. The area is more popular with Eastern Europeans than currently with British travellers. However, don’t let that put you off. The hotel welcomes British travellers with open arms and are currently in the process of unveiling a more British friendly menu. The all-inclusive dining options provide a variety of Turkish and international dishes, catering to different tastes. If you’re expecting chicken nuggets and a full English breakfast, you’ll be disappointed. Please remember you’re in a more traditional part of Turkey not Marmaris or Bodrum or even the UK! Your limited palate and the propensity to only be surrounded by British holiday-makers is a YOU problem and not the hotels. The hotel features a lovely pool area boasting comfortable sun loungers and easy access to a private beach, making it perfect for those looking to relax by the pool or the sea. Entertainment and activities are well-organised, with something for everyone. The entertainment is not intrusive and still yields to a chilled out atmosphere. Overall, the DG Rose Resort Hotel delivers a relaxing and enjoyable experience, with good value for money. Please note, regrettably, there is a particular type of British visitor especially to this hotel who seems to focus on finding any aspect of fault they can, rather than concentrating on enjoying their holiday.
