Set on over 40 acres of beautiful forests and gardens, the 710-room Amara Dolce Vita is one of the most luxurious resorts in the Kemer area. This all-inclusive has all the basics expected of a high-end property, but most features feel a notch more exclusive than those found at neighboring hotels. Its beautiful outdoor spa, charming zoo, cute kids’ club, and fish a la carte restaurant with sweeping views are especially outstanding. Deluxe Rooms, suites and villas are elegant and upscale, with a soft color palette, plush rugs, free minibars, and spacious balconies, many with sea views. Club Rooms, though, are decorated in a more classic style and could use an update. The on-site beach is lovely and quiet, and offers free non-motorized water sports, waiter service, and a wooden pier with additional seating. The hotel’s location between the sea and the mountains is perfect for those looking to get away from it all, but it may feel a little too remote to some. 

Located on a long, pebbly beach south of Kemer, the 770-room Rixos Hotel Tekirova is an upscale all-inclusive resort with a beautiful setting between the Taurus Mountains and the sea, plus excellent amenities for families. The huge water park has a great area for children with dozens of water features and a lazy river, and the kids’ and teens’ clubs offer tons of fun activities for children of all ages. The pools are big and spotless. Some, however, find the main buffet a little disappointing, especially regarding variety. Suites and Villas are stylish and well-equipped, with furnished balconies, free minibars, and sleek bathrooms. Standard Rooms, however, are small and a tad dated for the price. In this same price range, sister property Rixos Premium Belek offers better value and is closer to the airport.
