I have been to Turkey with my family 6 times now. Three being at this hotel. I can't fault it. The turkish are friendly and kind. The hotel is for all ages and all kinds of people. Food is catered for all and the weather is glorious all year nearly. I have also been in winter time, (for xmas) and even though the weather wasnt sunshine all the time, it was still an enjoyable holiday. The hotel is close to all things needed, the beach, shopping, entertainment etc so you cannot go wrong there. The people who work there, are amazing. Always have a smile on there face even after a hard days work (normally around 14 hours for them). Animation team are wonderful, make everyone feel at home. Say hi to my Askim, Musti. Also say hello to Chloe!! Who I am actually going back with in December on my own. If you are unsure whether to go to Hemera, I hope I have answered your question. GO! you will love it.

This was our first visit to Turkey, and after reading the reviews on this and another site about how good this hotel was and how a lot of people have revisited we could not wait to get there to find out for ourselves. I can say, we were not disappointed. On a value for money basis it was excellent. We travelled with Thomas Cook and so managed to get a child price for our 16 year old son, which are hard to come by. We had a family room for the four of us which was very roomy (one of our sons went in with the nans). The maid who was very friendly, came in every day and the mini bar was re-stocked everyday with water and soft drinks. The hotel is set in beautifull gardens and the pool area is lovely. Ice cream was only served between 5pm and 6pm but it was worth waiting for as it was the best and really filling along with the cakes they put out at this time. The snack bar area down by the beach bar was great and all the serving staff were really friendly if you take time to be friendly to them (say hello to Memmet ). My husband had a few words to say to one of the bar men down at the beach bar because he seemed to be ignoring him but after that everything was fine. The photographer on site takes lovely photos so give him a try. The animation team work really hard, they do their stints in the day ie, darts, kids club, volley ball etc, and then they do the entertainment at night, I could not believe it one day when we went for our lunch at the snack bar and they were painting all the props and scenery for the nights entertainment! , say hello to Scooby, Robbie, Sarken and all the others who we did not get to learn their names. I am a vegetarian who is prepared to try pretty much anything that does not contain meat, and I found the food fantastic (I put on a stone), but my husband who does not like to try different things struggled a bit on the evening meals. The drinks were pretty good measures too and good quality. They put on a garden party one night which took so much effort and time it was fantastic. And a beach party which we really enjoyed. All in all we really did have our monies worth out of this hotel and would recommend it to anyone else. I could write so much more about this hotel and Side which is lovely with its ruins, but why not find out for yourself, in my opinion you will not be disappointed.

This is a great hotel, set in beautiful lust grounds and on the beach. Good value for money, food was excellent (first holiday we’ve had where none of us have a tummy bug). Staff are friendly and helpful except the bar staff if you’re not a young women, blond or a man it may take you some time to get served. We stayed in a ground floor apartment, the accommodation was great, so clean and spacious the only down side to this is that nearly all apartments are on the main road and apartment numbers 20 – 28 are opposite and restaurant/disco that play music until two or three o’clock in the morning and the road starts to getting busy from 5am. Overall this is a lovely hotel.

As an ex-rep you wont find a better hotel in the area for your money, this all inclusive hotel offer more than you can expect. Two minutes from the Med and a private beach where secuirty is always present during the day.

Watersports (non-hotel) are available.

Better try the Turkish Bath within the hotel and say Steve sent you :) It is one of the best in the area and you will not be disappointed.

Anyone going here on holiday will make new friends and loads of memories - have a good one!!
