Ozkaymak Marina Hotel - All Inclusive

Background information: three of us went with friends, 25 years old, first independent vacation outside of Russia. We flew from Ufa, 75 thousand per person for 7 days. Tour operator Fan San. There is an assumption that they could have flown cheaper or to a better hotel (as it ended up being 5 full days, not 7 - the arrival was delayed by 5 hours, and the flight back was at 02:30). Check-in We arrived at the hotel around 12 o'clock at night, took chocolates with us (it turned out that everyone checked into our hotel with such gifts). We quickly filled out the documents and checked into a distant building, although initially we had booked a standard room in the main building without a sea view. In the far building we spent 1 night in an old room (a slightly torn door, a dirty floor, etc., there was no bed for a third person - only a folding bed). By the way, the folding bed was very comfortable, and our mood didn’t deteriorate a bit because of it. We immediately went for the night soup (not a particularly tasty soup, but there were a lot of cheeses, vegetables and sausages - it’s not for everyone). Until 01:00 there was also a bar near the pool with slides. Room In the morning we moved to the main building and were given a room with a sea view without any additional payment on the 4th floor. The furnishings in the room were a little tired, but overall everything looked neat (with the current prices, we didn’t particularly aspire to some kind of megalux). They later brought more wine and fruit to the room as an apology 🤣 The room was clean, cleaning was done every day or every other day. Towels and bed linen were changed, the mini bar was replenished (water, juice), and the trash was thrown out. I can’t say anything about shampoos, etc., because I had all the accessories with me. They give out beach towels, a $10 deposit, they return them at the end of the vacation, we didn’t change the beach towels (we just didn’t approach this issue, there was no need) Food (I’m telling you only about what I eat myself!) The first 2 days we came for breakfast, lunch and dinner 1.5 hours after the start, there wasn’t much food left. Then they started to come to the beginning - there were already cherry tomatoes, and interesting desserts, and even some other grilled dishes. For breakfast there were always eggs, scrambled eggs, omelet, vegetables, cereal, yogurt, etc. For lunch - chicken (or turkey ), fish, various side dishes and also vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs). A couple of times I had my favorite lentil soup (I haven’t tried other soups). For dinner, almost everything was the same as for lunch, sometimes some grilled dishes were added, but still mostly chicken or fish (maybe there was beef, but I didn’t look for it, because I don’t eat it) After breakfast, they fried amazing flatbreads, also before lunch there was an area with snacks (burgers, fries, something like pasta) I wasn’t hungry at all, but to each his own (I watched calories and didn’t overeat) There is an ala carte restaurant, but it wasn’t open in general Alcohol is poured into plastic glasses 0.5, but it seems that this is even more convenient. Water, soda, juices, etc. are always available. Alcohol - the beer is light and tastes good, we haven’t tried wine, you can mix the cocktails you want (gin and vodka are poured from small closed 50 ml bottles

Impressions from the stay: the hotel itself is very old, tired, in need of renovation, it was uncomfortable to be there. There are obviously not enough staff, the impression is that they are acting disorganized. Cleaning is average. The Swedish food is very mediocre and lacks variety, and due to the fact that there are few staff, mountains of dirty plates are left on the tables and they are not cleaned. Therefore, sometimes it took a very long time to find a clean corner.

Dear moderators! Please don't delete my review. I stayed in this hotel for the third time and now I need to write the same thing every time about what kind of food they provide for breakfast, lunch and dinner? What is the quality of cleaning, etc.? If I like everything, and I have already written about all this before, then list it all again and again? Tophotels moderators published this review of mine because these are words of gratitude to all the hotel staff! Good day, dear tourists! And every time I like the hotel more and more. I vacationed in July 2022, July 2023 and September 2023. Yes Yes! All in the same hotel. Perhaps, when I visited the hotel for the first time, I was a little disappointed in small things, but having drawn conclusions, I have already returned to this hotel twice, plus in September 2022 I was on vacation in Antalya with the OZKAYMAK hotel chain - FALEZ HOTEL 5*. I literally like everything about OZKAYMAK MARINA HOTEL 5*. Excellent location of the hotel, large and beautiful area, good quality food, and most importantly, what is very important is the hotel STAFF! It’s very nice to return to a place where you are recognized and very welcome. We were greeted at the reception with a smile, it was very pleasant. There was no crowd when I arrived, so I was able to exchange greetings and talk with the wonderful girls at the reception desk. When there is a big race, it is clear that everyone is tugging at them and they cannot pay attention to everyone at once. Check-in went quickly. Bell boy, as always, helped with things and escorted us to the room. YOU know, very often the first impression, as a rule, is wrong in relation to the people and places that we visit, including vacation spots. There are times when you are delighted from the first second, but... then you don’t want to communicate with the people you like, or return to those places that made you dizzy. And vice versa. So, it’s not just that I come to this hotel for the umpteenth time. Upon returning home, there was a lot of time to weigh: all the pros and cons. For myself, I decided that there was no better option for my vacation. I repeat once again that I like the area with these wonderful palm trees that are many years old, the clean well-groomed area, the cleanliness of which is regularly maintained by the hotel workers (alas, we don’t notice this hard work on vacation), high-quality and tasty food, I don’t like it. I've never heard of anyone being poisoned. By the way, also note that the cooks are trying very hard. People see only food, run around like mad and see nothing around them except food. And the staff works nights and days to make it delicious for us, but we don’t appreciate it. And it is always amazing, year after year, that people complain about the lack of any food and monotony in their diet. What else is missing, dear tourists? There is everything! And one more unpleasant moment that, apparently, will never be eradicated is greed! Where do you get so much food if you don’t eat it? This is a shame. The waiters also work with dignity, they try very hard, there are no complaints about them. Many of them are old

The concept of the hotel is “Everything is Off” No and again no! The first time I had such a desire was to leave the hotel quickly. I didn’t even want to leave the troika. And from this supposedly 5* as quickly as possible and without looking back. The reception is almost always empty. At least shout “ow”. Upon arrival, Russian-speaking guests are greeted by a girl who can only clap her eyes in Russian. The meeting of guests is reminiscent of the chorus: Oh, you weren’t expecting us, but we showed up. The concept includes welcome lemonade and Turkish delight. In fact, “smoke bamboo.” A hotel with a convenient location and quite affordable. Directly across the road, there is a stone bay - a port where yachts, yachts, pleasure boats, divers' boats, party longboats with three decks are moored. A monumental building with 4 floors, not counting the underground one in which there is a sauna, a steam room, yes, with real steam, a hammam, a massage area, the room cannot be called anything else, because... the three of us are already cramped, with dumbbells and a barbell, with a constantly closed mysterious room with glass doors, above which there is an inscription: “Night disco bar” (it has never opened) The hotel area is beautifully planted with palm trees. It’s like something out of an advertising brochure: identical in height and width, well-groomed and so…. Just wow, wow!. From a certain angle you can see the dolphin show. Test topic))) 3 pools with different depths, the deepest 1.4 meters; this is not counting 2 small swimming pools for children. There are two slides... But the pools are filled with ice water and heavily diluted chlorine. This mixture is called “Tear out your eye.” The rooms did not excite any of the Russian-speaking guests. We were apparently “lucky”: the room was neat, with a hairdryer, shower, bathroom, bath, light - everything was there and working, the water pressure in the shower was so good that there was no need to go for any massages. Cleaning a room - you need to learn this by example: I look at the dust under the table, I think, give it to me, and I’ll lie down! While you are standing over this woman, who, for a moment, receives a salary for this, she will clean up. And when he looks into the room with a question: you don’t have to do the cleaning!? A separate story is the air conditioner, you won’t be able to figure it out without a fortune teller, will you deign to please at least a little cooler or will it just blow warm air. Its settings are very sensitive, not counting the fact that if the cleaning lady came into the room, then the temperature regulator is set to 100% in the “+” zone. Well, or the air conditioner apparently just takes energy straight from the sun and fries the room as best it can. Food for the first day - we got breakfast, a variety of vegetables, dressings, a bunch of muffins, cakes, syrups, even warm rice porridge. It’s more difficult with fruits: like at a traffic light there are only three colors: red apples, orange oranges, green apples. Watermelons and melons are apparently a delicacy for this hotel. We managed to try guzleme flatbreads, we actually managed to, because... “Someone” decided that there was no need to bake them anymore. With each subsequent day, the variety of food began to decline. The breakfast porridge is cold. The number of warm ones is two, three - heating or something

We vacationed with my husband and 2 children (4 years, 4 months) from September 30 to October 13, 2023, we were happy with our vacation, we chose this hotel because of its excellent location, I booked a room with a sea view in advance 😊 The first thing that pleased us was that we arrived early in the morning and We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, we were checked in immediately) Secondly, the Wi-Fi reception in the room is excellent! Which happens very rarely in Kemer, but we have been vacationing for more than 10 years in different hotels. The rooms correspond to the photos on the website, but of course they require renovation, but we knew that and were ready for it. If you compare the price of 5 kU where there are rooms with good repairs and furniture, the price will be much higher! And the location of this hotel is excellent, we had a view from the window of the sea, mountains and pool, we came to the sea and not to sit in the room) in general, everything worked in the room, just tired furniture and doors. The food was varied, we didn’t go hungry, and there were always apples and oranges for fruit. There were always 3 types of ice cream: white, strawberry and chocolate, served in waffle cones. The animation is great! In the morning, Pilates, aqua aerobics, children's animation, in the evening an entertainment program, a magician, belly dancing, Turkish dancing, live music, competitions held by animators and a mini-disco, which we did not miss 😂. As for drinks, everything is the same as in other hotels: rum, whiskey, tequila, raki, vodka, white and red wine, beer, all locally produced. There are many pools, the slides worked, minus the cold water, but we didn’t swim in the pools, we spent time at sea. The hotel has its own beach, walk 200 meters. I had a birthday, the hotel delivered fruit and a bottle of wine to my room) on the minus first floor there is a hammam, a gym, I went for a massage, I was satisfied, in general we were happy with our vacation 👍 we arrived happy and tanned 😊

We vacationed in September. I really liked it. A solid A in all categories. The room is excellent, the service is excellent. The beach is clean, the water is clear. Food for every taste. The wine is excellent, the beer is non-alcoholic. Other drinks are for everyone. Animation... Granddaughter is happy. If you really want to, you can find flaws. But this is for those who like to search.

I stayed in this hotel for 5 days. Not a bad place, right next to the sea. Also very beautiful views of the mountains and palm trees :) The staff does not speak English very well, it’s a pity, but they understand Russian. The buffet is delicious, there is fish and meat, a lot of cheeses, the dishes are constantly changing. Desserts are a little monotonous (mostly consist of cream), but there is fruit. The dishes are very old and chipped at the edges, replace them!! Can’t you see, it’s unpleasant to eat from something like this? The room is clean and normal, but the furniture is also a bit old and very shabby in places. There is nothing in the new building, but in the old one it is completely dark. In the morning there is aqua aerobics and a show program. I liked the spa complex and its employee Ronaldo is great, he tries to put me in a good mood, create a great mood, and gave me a 20-minute massage for free. Thank you Nice big hammam, also a hammam with steam. Finnish sauna at its best. The hotel is declared as “ultra-all-inclusive”, but in fact, there is nothing ultra-inclusive, all additional services are paid. There are no snacks between meals either, the transfer is paid... Regular all-inclusive, as for me. The security guard at the checkpoint is not very kind, he asks for his first and last name rather rudely, he should work in the police. Only I’m on vacation, not at an interrogation. Thank you for your attention to my review! All the best.

Overall, I had positive impressions of the vacation. Pros: + the location of the hotel is good, the beach is nearby, there is a nice bay, so the water is warmer. + the animator Emre is charismatic, cheerful, and will always cheer you up. + the food is tasty, but monotonous. Overall, we didn't go hungry. + hammam in the hotel, ideal massage therapists, I highly recommend going on the first day. + the weather in the region is ideal even at the end of the season, +28. Cons: - the hotel does not have a free iron, to iron one thing, you need to hand it over to them and pay 3 euros. - old furniture in the rooms, there is mold in the bathroom. - alcohol in the hotel is local, there is no choice of cocktails, but the wine and beer are good.

☀️☀️☀️ Large area, excellent location. Delicious food. Positive, smiling staff, great animators 💎 Special love for the morning Pilates, which Julia conducted, by the end of the holiday you will definitely become a toned beauty. A big boost of positivity from water aerobics and evening children's activities. The a**osphere is great 😍 I didn’t want to leave at all! We'll definitely be back!
