TL;DR
In one older Kemer hotel, guests say “renovation” mainly meant cosmetic updates: repainted walls and furniture, new faucets, and older but functioning equipment. The hammam area still looks worn, but the spa package was reported as good value at about $30 per adult.
The newest feedback says the hotel keeps its distinctive style, which is part of its appeal. A full redesign would make it feel like many standard resorts, so it may suit travelers who are fine with a more unusual look.
A review from the previous day notes that the hotel’s design is very specific, especially in the reception area and rooms, and not everyone will like it. If you prefer a neutral modern interior, it’s worth checking real guest photos before booking.
Guests describe the room “renovation” as mostly cosmetic: walls and old furniture were repainted on the outside, while the inside of wardrobes remained unchanged and visibly worn. Signs of age and minor damage are still noticeable.
Bathroom updates appear minimal, with the faucets being the main new element. Still, the plumbing was reported to work properly, so you shouldn’t expect a full bathroom overhaul, but there were no major complaints about functionality.
The room air conditioner was old and noisy, but staff fixed the issue quickly after it was reported. That suggests the equipment may be dated, yet reception is responsive and tries to resolve practical problems without much delay.
The main restaurant complaint was not about the food but about dish cleanliness: clean glassware was hard to find, so some guests used disposable cups instead. Plates and cutlery were said to be cleaner than the glasses.
The hammam area looks worn and apparently wasn’t really included in the renovation. However, the actual spa package was rated positively: the peeling, massage, and foam massage were done well, with no aggressive upselling.
A useful pricing detail: the hammam package cost $30 per adult. According to the review, children received a foam treatment and tea as a complimentary extra, and a staff member named Hussein was specifically recommended.
