Balmy Beach Resort Kemer

Our stay at The Balmy in Kemer was truly exceptional and easily one of the most relaxing and thoughtfully curated hotel experiences we’ve ever had. What immediately stands out is the incredible attention to detail that can be seen in every corner of the hotel. The love and care the team puts into everything shines through each and every day — whether it’s the delicious food, the calming atmosphere, the beautifully maintained grounds, or the genuine hospitality. One thing that made us especially happy was the care for the cats around the hotel. All of them are clearly well looked after, healthy, clipped, and very gentle in nature. You can instantly tell they are treated with kindness and love, which says a lot about the hotel itself. The staff truly deserves special recognition because their service is beyond exceptional. At the coffee station, Salihcan serves the most delicious iced caramel lattes, always accompanied by sweet treats like cakes and cookies. Everything is beautifully presented and always feels Instagram-worthy — he truly is a master of his station. Mevkiye is an absolute sweetheart and serves delicious ice cream with freshly made cones that smell and taste amazing. When entering the restaurant, you are always welcomed with warm smiles by Ömer and Betül. Ömer manages the restaurant team wonderfully, and the attentiveness of the entire staff is remarkable. A special mention goes to Hiçret, who had memorized our drink order by the third night and would always ask if we wanted “the usual.” Murat also deserves recognition for the enthusiasm and positivity with which he welcomes every guest. If you find yourself at the beach café, you can count yourself lucky if Tuğçe or Can are working their shift — the drinks will guaranteed be phenomenal. Returning to the room each evening was always a lovely surprise thanks to the beautiful towel arrangements created by Hatice. My personal favorite was a gorgeous swan arrangement that genuinely made our day. The food throughout our stay was consistently delicious, with various chefs preparing fresh dishes every day, which kept the dining experience exciting during our two-and-a-half-week stay. A special mention also goes to Head Chef Taylan Aksu — the evening dinners under his lead were especially outstanding. The food was immaculate, beautifully prepared, and truly elevated the dining experience. The only small downside during our otherwise perfect stay was the room location. While the mountain view was absolutely gorgeous, our room was located close to the main street, which could sometimes be a bit loud over the course of two and a half weeks. Other than that, we were genuinely very happy and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. German-speaking guests might also appreciate having Jasmine from guest relations available for assistance whenever needed. All in all, we would only recommend this hotel to our closest friends and family — that’s how highly we think of it. The Balmy is clean, gorgeous, peaceful, and filled with warmth. If you are looking for an oasis where you can truly relax and feel pampered, this is the place to be. - Amal & Ceren Mila

We honestly can’t say enough good things about Balmy Beach Hotel—it feels like a second home to us. Everything about this place is incredible and top class: the people, the facilities, the rooms, the food… and especially the cats! We fell so in love with one of them that we ended up bringing her back to the UK, and the hotel team were unbelievably kind and supportive in helping make it happen. It’s rare to find somewhere that leaves such a lasting impression, but this truly has. We’re already looking forward to planning our third visit! Special thanks go to Sevki, Burcu, Aykul as well as the incredible waiter Saban (who has the most incredible personality and memory! Such brilliant service and welcomes from him).

Hotel is very relaxing and just what we wanted for our baby moon. We also thought the staff were very helpful especially Saban who made us feel welcome as soon as we met him at our first breakfast. There is a great selection of food on offer. Perfect location if you want a quiet holiday.

Excellent hotel, booked through TUI for honeymoon. Incredible scenic views and access to beach. Couldn’t have had a happier time. Room was upgraded due to it being our honeymoon which was a lovely surprise. Drinks and cocktails kept flowing, they were able to make anything, even things not on the drinks menu. Food was lovely too, I would recommend the grills and the pizza, and the omelette station at breakfast. Only thing is there are cats, if you have issues with them - but as is the case in most of the hotels around I would imagine.

Cant recommend this hotel enough. Everything was so good from the location to the service. As soon as we arrived a staff member showed us our room and then pointed out where everything was. The food was great and cocktails were amazing. The staff were friendly and couldnt help us enough particularly the bar and waiting staff at the garden bar but they were great throughout the hotel. The hotel itself is stunning and the photos dont do it justice , first time ive gone somewhere and it looked better than it did on the website I booked it through. Have to mention the cleaning staff who made up our room each day even when we left quite late in afternoon. As it was my partners birthday we left her birthday card on the side and when we returned to room they had made it up like in the photo which was a really nice touch. We had the hot stone massage at the spa which was amazing. If you are looking for a holiday to just chill out at the pool/beach then this is the one. We went early April and was sunny every day except one so I can imagine how amazing it is between June /September. Was so happy we are considering booking again already which we never do. If you prefer to get out and about from hotel there are tour companies that can take you places but we didnt bother as were happy to stay around hotel.
