Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek Antalya

Amazing, great hospitality, great food

I spent a week at this hotel, between June 30 and July 6. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay, with a few shortcomings that I will mention. The hotel is not very large, according to what a bartender told us, the maximum accommodation capacity is 500 people (including the villas), during the period when we were there were around 350 tourists accommodated. This was the reason why we had peace, there was no crowd at the table, at the bar, at the pool or on the beach. Indeed, if you wanted to sit at the pool in a certain place or under one of the large umbrellas, you had to wake up earlier in the morning, so you could reserve the sunbeds. But you could always find free places at the pool or on the beach, regardless of the time. It is possible that when the hotel is occupied at full capacity it is more problematic to find free sunbeds at the pool or on the beach. On the pontoon you could sit on sun loungers if you made a reservation and paid (25 euros/day, I think). But everything was cramped there, and you had to walk a long way to the toilet. There are also bungalows for rent, by the pool and on the beach, but the high price asked means that they remain almost unoccupied. I had a room on the 2nd floor, with a partial view of the sea, partial at golf area, facing the Kaya Palazzo hotel and the tennis courts; the disadvantage is that early in the morning the garbage truck comes to the Kaya hotel, and it is quite noisy when the bins are emptied. This room was very large, bigger than at others hotels, the only minuses were pillows too soft for us and the extensible bed is very hard, the canopy from balcony was more comfortable. Maybe adding a topper to extensible bed will solve the problem? It's good to know that room have iron and ironing board. Towels were changed twice a day, sheets at every 2 days, all were very clean and in good shape. Sometimes the person responsible with refill minibar forget to replace all consumed products. Coffee (capsules) was very bad, no taste, no strength. It doesn't seem normal to me that teaspoons and coffee cups are washed in the sink from bathroom (because one day they forgot the cups in bathroom, other day - teaspoons - that's how I found out), I expected them to be replaced with clean ones from the bar or restaurant. Big minus for that ! Because many peoples complain that the air conditioning is noisy, the secret is to choose the “night” operating mode, with the lowest speed, and set the temperature to a value close to that in the room (for example, if the room is 24.5 degrees shown on the display, choose 24 degrees for the air conditioning). If you set a much lower temperature, even if you choose the lowest speed, the air conditioner starts working at maximum speed after a few minutes, hence the noise produced. A small disadvantage: the bathroom has a bathtub with a shower and a separate walk-in shower. The washing products - shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, are in containers fixed to the wall, in the walk-in sh
