Kemer
Resembling a large, 4-floor villa, this pleasant hotel is backed by pine forests and overlooks the calm, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea from a tranquil residential area on the outskirts of the lively resort town of Kemer. The nearest beach is only a short walk from the hotel and Kemer Marina is just under two kilometres away, while centre of the town can be reached in only a two-minute drive, offering a range of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs. Additionally, a public transport stop can be found just outside the hotel. The hotel features modern décor, an outdoor pool, a restaurant and spa facilities. It is an ideal spot for those who prefer to be close to the resort's amenities but in a quieter location.

A nice,little hotel
This is a little hotel,only 28 rooms if i'm not mistaken,mostly filled with german tourists. The rooms are very clean and well mentained. I've been in so-called 4/5 stars hotels with broken balkony doors and furniture from ice age,so this hotel was very surprising. All rooms have AC free of charge,hair dryier,even free slippers. The pool area seemed a bit small and not enaugh sun beds around (but the fact that i went there in late october might be an explanation for the lack of sun beds). Staff is very friendly and nice and they make efforts to make you feel comfortable. On the bad side,i must mention that the hotel is not so great positionated,a bit far from the city center (15-20 min walking on some creepy streets) and not so easy to find. I'm not sure where the nearest beach is located. The food was ok for the price we paid, obviouslly doing their best to cut the costs- so only 1 type of food containing meat in the evening (usually chicken). Plenty of vegetable-based dishes like salads..and more salads. In the morning we had the typical turkish breakfast: 2 types fo cheese,vegetables,olives,jem,butter,dry fruits,some types of cereals and so on. Only 1 type of hot dish,usually eggs cooked in different forms.
Just a little advice for those visiting antalya: rent a car!-there are so many amazing places to visit around,it is really worth it!

Kind Hospitality and Perfect Location
My husband and I stayed at Forest Par hotel in May 2015 and found it to be one of the best hotel experiences we have had yet. The staff were more than friendly, going out of their way to be helpful and kind. We were treated like family! The location was great for us because we wanted calm and quietness, away from the party hotels. It is really lovely having the forest surrounds and mountains behind. We even had the pool to ourselves on most days and the rooms were kept clean and well presented. The Hammam and massage was professional and a really relaxing experience. Also, we enjoyed the 20 minute stroll to Moonlight beach and center of town. But most of all, the local people in Kemer were so nice and friendly that we would definitely go back again.

Cheap but clean
We stayed there for one week, location was very good, room 210 is good as it has a big balcony. The room was very clean and comfortable. The beach is near by and you can walk to it in15 minutes but they have a free service that takes you there and back. You get a ticket from the hotel which allows you a sun bed free. The Internet and wifi was good and free for the first three days then we couldn't get it in our room any more!! And only available in the lobby. We didn't eat in the hotel but the breakfast was basic and OK, nothing to look forward to. For a budget holiday it is very good, the price was right and can go there again. The staff were very helpful,polite and friendly.
Peaceful and relaxing!!!
The hotel is situated next to a lovely forest, but be warned attract lots of mosquito's so bring stuff for that with you. Our room was small, but I think most of the rooms are like that. A lot of hotels in the area and are noisy but this did not affect us as the rooms are really insulated. The room did have a hair dryer, shower is good but did brake but was fixed immediately. We had a lovely view from our room, the pool and mountain and not forgetting the enchanted forest. I have to say the breakfast was ok, limited but enough for breakfast 2 hot choices, cereal, bread, coffee, tea and a selection of herbal teas. Dinner on the other hand was not satisfactory, when we went down at about 8pm or before the hot dishes were cold and nearly finished and we had to ask for it to be replenished. The bar area was nice, however when I asked for a glass of wine they seemed to have run out and a member of staff had to go and get a bottle from the shop ended up waiting for 15mins. I went down 10mins before breakfast time and was told that breakfast is at 8am, nobody communicated this with me, and all information is in German and Russian so how would we know? I felt uncomfortable and left my breakfast on the table, and went back to it later.
Pool area was nice, but bring a swimming towel with you as they do not provide this. You can use the bathroom towel but I bought 1 which costs about 20TLira.
Their is free WIFI but very bad connection.
We went into Kemer by foot every day, its about 15min walk to town and beaches. The hotel liaise with Qualista Beach, you will need a ticket for this otherwise the staff on the beach will charge you. Beaches did get busy, but its still worth going to see it. Loads of shops selling the same things really but nice all the same!! We ate out a couple of times, Qualista restaurant by the marina was really nice but a little pricey but so worth it!!!
The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, except on that one occasion regarding breakfast.
Hope to go again, but so many other places I want to visit!!! :)

The hotel where you feel like at home and don't want to leave
Mostly we liked is the atmosphere, which the staff created for us. Apart the thing that staff is lovely and you feel like at home, they are also very helpful and resonsive - everyone!!! We have arrived to the hotel at 8:30am, because of early flight. Check in 14:00. Hotel offered complimentary breakfast on arrival and as soon as we finished our breakfast, one of our rooms was ready and then in 20 min second room was ready without any additional charges for early check im. Hotel is located near the coniferous forest, in very quite place. Free shuttle to the beach on request, but if you are not afraid to walk for 15 min, then you can walk to Moonlight beach easly. The same with city center - 15 min walk and you are in the city center. We booked rooms with B&B option, but also for additional (very reasonable) cost you can have dinner in the hotel: either in the dinner room or outside in the lovely bar with view on pool and forest - your choice ) Pool is big enough and very clean with sun beds and umbrellas. During our staying hotel surprised us with complimentary plates of fruits, cakes. It is small things, but when it's done with open heart as they were doing it, then it cost a lot. Thanks a lot for genue holiday to Songul, Ozlem, Fatih and the rest people in the hotel - you did our holiday special. With sincere love, Vechtomov family
