Went to Hemera with Wife,Son,Daughter-in-law and Grandson,for two weeks all inclusive basis,can not rate hotel highly enough,arrived early morning,tired after long flight, as soon as we where dropped at hotel staff could not have been more helpful,bags where taken straight to rooms which where spotless,as was the Hotel.
During are two weeks holiday we did not see any rubbish or mess.
The food in the many places to eat was very well presented,more than enough varity, mostly cooked fresh.
Hotel is located 10 minuets stroll from shops and eating places,and right on the beach which was too hot for us to stay on.
Hotel staff without exception were friendly,helpful and always polite.
Entertainment team worked tirelessly and kept most people entertained,if you did not want to join in they did not push.
We have already booked for next year.

Just been back to the Hemera after only a few weeks back in May where we took our adult children. So me and my wife went back for a weeks peace and quiet from the 10th to the 17th June.

I can add anything to the other review only that me and my wife tried the seafood restaurant and it was very good just as good or better than the other 2 free al a cartes. Also a beach party was on the last Saturday before we left which was also great fun with a foam party on the beach added in. I will be back in September

This was my second year at the Hemera I will be going again it is without doubt the best all inclusive hotel I have stayed in. This year I took my children and their partners the enjoyed every minute of it.

The hotel has changed a lot from last year, brand new apartment and hotel rooms.

The restaurant layout has changed for the better, new a la carte restaurant, also a pattisserie where ice cream cakes etc throughout the day not at set times like last year.

The pool has completely been reshaped, a couple of water slides, the lobby bar has changed. A new games room with internet access.

The animation team are amazing as usual. Scooby, Robin , Ali, Turgay etc.

What more can I say about this hotel that hasn't already been said other than to say can't wait for my next holiday there.

Just returned yesterday and rebooked for next year a fantastic holiday and hotel so well run very friendly very clean.

Food excellent for all inclusive it had some very nice touches everything was of good quality it is the only hotel I have ever been to where so many people have been returning year after year and returning next year I cannot fault the hotel.

The effort that went into the gala night was quite breath taking everybody dressed up even the animation the setting was perfect. we travelled with friends they enjoyed as much as us in our party there was our 2 sons 14,15 and our daughter 10y also our friends daughter 10y the boys it is a perfect place for it gave them enough freedom without worry.

The animation team were great fun, very helpful and good company if you just fancied a chat a big thank you to Ali, Robin Scooby, all the mini club ladies whom the girls enjoyed and the rest of the animation team who helped make our holiday such great fun thank you Hemera.

You want the truth well here it comes

Hotel was spot on, rooms were cleaned everyday by friendly staff.

The food just kept coming, from breakfast 7 till 10 to dinner 12.30 till 2 or you could stroll down to the beach bar and have a snack till 5. Then at the pool bar buffet style sandwich till 6, and then ice cream time. 3 ice cream stations round the hotel, then evening meal 7 till 9, if you don

This Hotel is absolutely amazing!!! We have been going there for the past...5 YEARS!!!! Its amazing!!

Its clean, they clean and change your towels and sheets when ever you need it, they clean your bed stuff every day!!! The gardens are immaculate!!!

The location is beautiful only a few miles away from towns and theres some shops just across the road.

The food is amazing you'll never go hungry!!! The sofra is amazing!!! Not a fan of fish so the fish restaurant didnt really take my fancy and didn't get a chance to use the barbeque. But other wise a really huge variety of food for adults and for kids.

The hotel staff are lovely... the waiters flirt abit too much some times but they know how to make you smile. I have been there a couple of times when it was my birthday and they decorated the table and even brought me champagne!!

The entertainment is excellent Tai and all the team do ebery thing they can to make the day and night as fun as possible for adults and children!!! Its excellent!! some times the acts that come in aren't very good but that gives you a chance to sit with your family and just talk which is really nice way to bond!!! Or have an early night and be ready or another busy day ahead...

And I think the best thing about 2 weeks at Hemera Hotel is that it seems like a life time of luxury!!!

Oh yes and the Massages are to die for they are amazing though be prepared for the stone one they do burn a little but its soooo good!!!

This was our first time in Turkey but it will not be our last! our best holiday ever! The hotel is spotless, maid service excellent and mini fridge stocked up daily! All hotel staff are superb.

The food was varied, always cooked to perfection and always hot. Chefs serve the hot buffet but there is no limit to how much you can have. Gala night is brilliant, all the staff (kitchen, entertainment, bar, even management) work extremely hard to serve the evening meal in the beautiful grounds of the hotel.

There are regular beach parties, the entertainment staff provide a night of non-stop fun. Entertainment is day & night, with excellent evening shows, well performed but also funny!

The entertainment staff give 100% at all times, more like friends than hotel staff! must give a special mention to scooby (we love you baby), also Robin and Ali, they made our holiday so special, as well as being fantastic dancers!

Plus the hotel is a 2min walk up the hotel driveway to all the shops and bars!

Best holiday ever! Brilliant hotel, super staff, excellent entertainment! Canoes, pedaloes & pool tables all free of charge, fun-packed entertainment day & night (a special hello & thank you to Scooby, Robin and Ali, thanks for all the fun times)!

The hotel is clean, welcoming and efficiently run, with excellent maid service and a mini fridge stocked up daily! water coolers and hot drinks machines are around the hotel and available 24/7.

Large pool, private beach & loads of sunbeds. Regular evening paries on the beach and outdoor dining in the hotel grounds, with gala nights and do-it-yourself bbq's! There is also a Turkish restaurant and a fish restaurant as an alternative to the main restaurant, all included in the all inclusive!

The hemera is set in beautiful surroundings and a 2min walk from the shops and bars! first class hotel!
