Labada Beach Hotel

The weather was perfect even for September. A good variety of food, mainly turkish and a bit of russian cuisine. Sweets and fruits were plenty to choose from. Beautiful view from the balcony (had a sea view from our room). Friendly reception manager, and one of the few people that spoke a bit of english. Clean room and lovely reception and bar area. Spa facilities quite diverse with prices starting from $5. We had the turkish bath package (costs €25 per person ) which included the hamam (turkish bath) a full body masaj and a face mask with green tea. Free access to sauna and to their small gym.

Most of the staff spoke mainly turkish and russian. You would strugle to comunicate in english with the majority. The hotel is not in Kemer but in Camuvya which is about 5 km away from Kemer. While Kemer is very lively with shops and discos and lovely terraces and bars Camuvya is a bit more quiet, i would say perfect for those that just want to relax and enjoy the sun. The room was quite big, but although I chose a room for 3 people with one double bed and a single bed, we were moved in a room with a double bed and a small couch. Rooms could use a new coat of paint and a bit of a make over. Another thing that left a bit of a sour taste was that if you wanted to use their internet you had to pay $4 for 1 day, $9 for 3 days and $14 for 7 days, which was not per room but per device used. The quality of the internet was very poor in the rooms and outside the hotel. Better signal near reception area. No free wi-fi or hotspots. Hotel is at 65 km from Antalya and the airport so you need to arrange transport on your own or ask the hotel to arrange it for you. Either way you will need to pay for it, unless you have bought the package from a travel agency and this was provided by them as well. Airport transport by car price wise starts from $25 if you book it independently, while the hotel car rental asks $40 minimum. You can try and negociate with them or book independently.
