Balmy Foresta

Overall, I had a very good experience at Balmy Foresta Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful and surrounded by incredible nature. There is so much greenery, with palm trees and the Kemer mountains in the background, which creates a really peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. But some of the buildings and surroundings do feel a little older, and it seems like they have mainly been repainted and refreshed to make them look newer. The food was excellent, both in the main restaurants and at the snack bars. There was a good variety and the quality was very satisfying. I also really liked that they had refrigerators with cold water and soft drinks near the beach, which was very convenient. The beach toilets were clean, which I really appreciated. On our last day, when we had to check out and needed somewhere to shower and change, we used the spa facilities. The shower area in the spa was clean and convenient, which made the last day much easier. There were, however, a few things that I think could be improved: Almost all of the glasses and dishes were not washed properly and still had visible stains on them. This is something that should definitely be improved. There is no late dinner option. If you arrive late or miss dinner, there aren't many proper food options available afterward. Another issue was that the reception did not provide irons for guests, which was inconvenient when we needed to iron our clothes. The beach could have been cleaner and more organized, as it was a little messy. The patisserie is located inside the lobby, which makes it feel a little boring and doesn't really create a special atmosphere. I think it would be much nicer if the patisserie were located outside, perhaps in a more open and inviting area where guests could sit and enjoy their desserts and drinks. The receptionist with tattoos on his neck was not welcoming at all and was quite rude during our interaction. I think the reception staff should be more friendly and professional, as they are the first point of contact for guests.

I truly do not understand the negative reviews! Food - fabulous, all staff - amazing, facilities - spot on, environment - beautiful, cocktails - delicious. I'm fussy and fairly well travelled and this was a lovely holiday, thank you everyone at Balmy Foresta. 😊

Highly overrated... Beautiful views, and tasty food. And thats it... For this price not worth it. There are no ramps for strollers, and where they do exist, you have to take a long way around. Next to the kids pool there is no toilet, kids are not able to hold for "that long" especially when playing in water. A challenging playground that looked impressive, though a parent had to assist because it was quite dangerous, and parents want to have a break when kids are safetly playing... Food was tasty but only few dishes to choose from (very poor lunch - good that there was a'la carte restaurant). Drinks were made from local alcohols. You dont need shoes for water, easily accesible with bare foot. Rooms looked rather old inside... As said, highly overrated.

We had a wonderful stay at Balmy Foresta in Kemer and have really enjoyed our holiday! The pool area is absolutely lovely, and the food is good, although we would have appreciated a little more variety. However, one thing that really stood out was the cocktails – they were AMAZING! 🍹 We especially loved that the hotel uses well-known, quality alcohol brands. The bartenders actually take their time shaking the cocktails properly and decorating them beautifully. It feels very professional and makes such a big difference compared to many other all-inclusive hotels. This is definitely something other hotels could learn from! A special mention has to go to Ulaz, the bartender. He is extremely professional, provides excellent service, has a great sense of humor, and always takes the time to talk and joke with us. To us, this is exactly what a great bartender should be. Thank you, Ulaz! We also have to give a HUGE recommendation to Cengiz, who truly helped make our holiday unforgettable. He gives 120% when it comes to service! He is incredibly attentive in the restaurant, always notices what you need, talks and jokes with you, and regularly checks that everything is okay. He made us feel genuinely seen and taken care of throughout our stay. Balmy Foresta, please take good care of him – he is an absolute first-class waiter and a huge asset to your hotel! Finally, a big thank you to Ege, the lifeguard. He is so kind, funny and wonderful with the children. He creates a great atmosphere around the pool while also making sure everyone is safe. The kids absolutely loved him! Thank you to the entire team at Balmy Foresta for a fantastic and memorable holiday. ❤️ A special thank you once again to Ulaz, Cengiz and Ege – you really made our stay extra special, and we hope to see you again!

Myself and my family of five went to the bomb for Forster in August. It is not our first rodeo to Turkey we have been to the Rick sauce collection and too many hotels but I must say that the barmy Forester was an absolutely amazing experience. With some of the larger hotels you can often find yourself feeling a little bit lost sometimes out of place however the bomb me Forster it was absolutely stunning surrounded by this absolutely gorgeous forest and the sound of cicadas the crashing waves and it wasn’t overrun with people. It’s a smaller hotel you bump into people regularly so you know who’s on the grounds. One of the reasons I’m writing this review is that I have found the customer service to be absolutely exceptional from the bar staff and the waiting staff to senior management who we had some dealings with the owner walks around on a daily basis makes himself known and checks any issues talks with customers and is very personable the manager of the hotel. She is very personable very helpful and went out of her way to help. A special shout out to my friend or Bestie as I called her at the seafront snack bar Inez. The food was scrumptious, particularly the kebabs on the seafront with chips and chicken baskets absolutely delicious. Also I would say that the Gym facilities are probably one of the best that I’ve ever been to in terms of taught classes. I enjoyed the yoga and strength training classes all really great and push abilities. I know it some resorts. It can be a bit wishy-washy but the instructor was absolutely excellent. The entertainment was good. We particularly liked as a family the party that starts on the beachfront at 11 pm with the DJs we danced all night great bar excellent holiday beautiful memories thank you so much to the team. We aim to be back next year. we stayed in one of the small houses like filler type and they were amazing. Thanks latifa melyani you are an exceptional leader !
