My wife and I checked out of Robinson yesterday after having a 10 day long baby-moon there. Nestled in the lush greenery of Camuyva, Kemer, this hotel is a serene paradise that immediately stands out from the scorching surroundings. The landscape is rich with diverse tree species, creating shaded bowers that offer a cool, relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding from the heat. The stylish rooms and beautifully maintained grounds ensure a sense of luxury while being embraced by nature. The pebbly beach, though different from sandy shores, offers something truly special: crystal-clear waters that gently lap against the shore with breathtaking views of the Taurus mountains and the commanding Olympus peak. Swimming in the calm sea while gazing at the distant, rugged peaks is an experience like no other—tranquil, picturesque, and unforgettable. One of the unique aspects of this hotel is the strong presence of returning German guests, creating a welcoming, familiar atmosphere. Though we stood out as non-Germans, we were met with warmth and friendliness at every turn. The regulars here are clearly part of the hotel's charm, and it was a joy to be part of this community, even for a short while. The hotel staff deserves a special mention for making our stay extra memorable. Omer at the restaurant always greeted us with a smile and excellent service, while Stefan and Buket at the reception were ever helpful. Dudu and Gulsen made us feel right at home with their hospitality, and we owe special thanks to the entertainer, whose name we never got, but whose energy at the main bar was infectious. Emir, the former volleyball star, led the beach games with enthusiasm, and our chats with him were a highlight of the stay. If you’re a cat lover, you’ll be delighted by the many friendly, well-looked-after cats that roam the hotel grounds. One in particular, a 19-year-old orange cat who lounges near the shopping area, is living proof of how much care they receive—vaccinated and pampered by both staff and guests alike. The food is another standout, with a wide variety of delicious options and themed nights almost every day. From Glitter Nights to White Nights to the fun ‘80s-themed Retrowave Nights, there’s something special happening all the time. Pro tip: bring some sparkle for Glitter Nights, white outfits for White Nights, and your best retro vibe for Retrowave. For those who enjoy staying active, the hotel offers numerous opportunities to take part in water sports, archery, and more. The gym is also well-equipped, with a particularly good chest press machine. Though there’s no deadlifting platform, remember: this is a place to relax, not set new PRs! For those looking to explore, the ancient ruins of Olympus and Phaselis are a short trip away, offering a window into Turkey's rich history. And for the more adventurous, the hunt for the lost city of Idyros is a thrilling challenge to complete the Lycian troika. This hotel is a hidden gem, exceeding all of
