The Hotel Sherwood Exclusive Kemer is simply amazing ,We booked here as a family (Two Adults and One Child ) as a half term getaway as our summer holiday plans fell through. We had a superb time. Transfer Time - 50 mins from Antalya airport by private transfer Food and Drink - Several places to eat around the hotel including a la carte and buffet .The choice and quality meant there was something delicious every day .The pic for me was honeycomb in the morning for breakfast with fresh orange juice and steak sandwich for lunch with the most varied and amazing salads . My wife loves her Baclava so was in her element .Bottled premium beer was on tap as well as in bottles and as you would expect in turkey, there was coffee available and Turkish tea all the time .By the pool the drinks were even ordered and brought to you by a waiter on roller skates ! Having a separate waffle bar and ice cream parlour were nice touches and visited everyday by our daughter ! Activities - Swimming in the sea was lovely as the Temp was warm .The pools looked divine but only one was heated and i would say another heated pool would be useful but as the hotel wasn't packed at this time of year, there was still plenty of room .As a family we played darts , boccia and my wife did aqua gym and I went to pilates. All the instructors were great and the classes lasted approx 30 mins each . Waterpark- Amazing slides where you go down in inflatable rings either single or double or just slide .We spent a bit of time in here every day , no ques , crystal clear water and great exhilarating fun .It worked for us to do an hr max here then go back to the pool or do other activities . Staff - All staff were friendly and helpful . A few struggled with English but any communication issues were quickly overcome and many had excellent English .The staff were a mix of Nationalities but mainly from Turkey ,Our Standout out member of staff was Lucia the guest service manager .We had an issue with our room which was not the hotels fault, but on been informed she quickly grasped the problem and moved us rooms in fact we went up a level at no extra cost and she came back to us the next day which she didn't need to do to ensure we were ok and to see how are holiday was going .She is simply so welcoming and helpful . Guests - Other guests seemed to be mainly English, German, Russian and everyone got on really well Entertainment - Dance Troop , Tribute Act , Bingo , Karoake , Band .All really good Weather - At this time of the year 28 degrees max which is hot .The sun sets very late afternoon and the evenings are dark .Temp 18 degrees .Shorts T shirt and a little jumper are required to sit outside in the evening . Get up early is our tip to maximise the sunny weather . Rooms - There are so many rooms available here all our catered for but for the three of us the Standard Superior Deluxe Double was perfect been large and well appointed .I asked for a proper single bed for our daughter instead of a sofa bed which wasn't a problem atall . Overall a great holiday in a great place that ticks all the boxes and we would return at the drop of a hat ..THANKYOU Kemer Sherwood Exclusive

“A Very Enjoyable Two-Week Stay”

We recently spent two weeks at this hotel and had a lovely holiday. From start to finish, we felt comfortable, well taken care of, and entertained, with plenty to do both in and around the hotel. Arrival and First Impressions We arrived around midnight, and despite the late hour, check-in was quick and easy. After settling in, we enjoyed a delicious meal at the 24-hour bistro, followed by a nightcap at Gilbert’s, the 24-hour bar. It was a warm and welcoming way to kick off our holiday. Staff and Guest Relations The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, helpful, and attentive. While some staff had limited English, communication was never an issue. The Guest Relations team was especially supportive, readily answering any questions we had, and making us feel truly valued as guests. They even sent a basket of fruit and some macarons with a get well message when my wife was ill with a bad cold. Rooms Our room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the extra-large bed and the balcony overlooking one of the pools. Dining Options: Bars, Snack Bars, and Main Restaurant There were many bars and snack bars around the hotel, so we were never far from food or drinks. The quality was consistently high, and we enjoyed fresh, tasty snacks throughout the day. A highlight was the Pranzo bar, where we could order a range of dishes, from burgers to Turkish kebabs. The main restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, with a particularly great selection of fish and grilled meats. Although it could get a bit crowded indoors, we found a lovely table on the terrace, which made every meal feel more like a special “dining out” experience. A La Carte Restaurants Since it was the end of the season, only two of the four a la carte restaurants were available, but the food and service were excellent at both. Pools and Waterparks We spent most of our time at the quiet pool near our room, where there was always an abundance of sunbeds and umbrellas. The nearby Lagoon Bar was conveniently staffed until just before we left, and it added to the peaceful atmosphere. Although we didn’t use the main pool, we could see it from the Pranzo bar, and it looked like a lively hub with music and activities. Similarly, we didn’t use the waterparks, but they looked well-designed and perfect for families with children. Beach Area While we didn’t spend much time on the beach, we enjoyed a few pleasant strolls along the shoreline and short pier. The area was equipped with various bars and snack stands, including a surprising sushi stall and some places serving authentic local snacks. Entertainment There was nightly entertainment at the Aquapark stage. Also evening activities near the Pranzo bar and pool with bands, karaoke, bingo etc. Though we didn’t join in every night, the shows we watched were impressive, with high-quality performances. Exploring Göynük and Beyond Göynük, which is a 30-minute walk from the hotel, was a lovely outing. There is a nice parade of shops. There are also market days in the town itself. The Göynük canyon, about an hour's strenuous stroll away, was a very good walking adventure. If you walk there and back it is about a 4.5 hour round trip with some lovely views. Entry to the gorge was affordable (5 Euros each), and there were activities like zip-lining and boat rides for those interested (at an extra cost). For those wanting to explore further, the local bus system made it easy and economical to visit nearby resorts like Kemer. Note that it is not possible to walk between the resorts as there is no suitable footpath. The bus fare is 35TL from Göynük to Kemer. You can flag the buses down; you pay on exit and the drivers have plenty of change. Overall Experience In summary, we had a great time at this hotel and would happily return. The combination of friendly staff, diverse dining options, relaxing pools, and beautiful surroundings made this a truly memorable holiday. Recommended for a relaxing, well-rounded holiday experience.

“Loved it”

First impressions of the hotel weren't quite as we had hoped. The standard room had maintenance and cleanliness issues. Mini bar was only restocked once in 9 nights. Grounds are so beautiful. Main pool was warm enough to swim in which is a blessing for October, the other pools were very cold. Enjoyed some lovely food some. It did get repetitive and felt variety was declining towards the end of our stay though. Restaurant staff were lovely and hard working but they were clearly understaffed. Few clean tables available. Had to search for cutlery many times. Get own drinks. A La Carte was disastrous. Raised our concern with management but complaint was disappointingly not followed up. Pranzo restaurant was very good. Beach bar by Aqua park closed earlier than stated time. Guest relations were lovely. Tried to play tennis but procedures in place made this hard work as people took their own racquets and selfishly took ownership . Kids club didn't quite entice my 10 year old to return. Lifeguards were very nice and reassuring. The staff at the main pool bar and Gilbert's were really so lovely, despite the language barrier. Entertainment was great some nights. Only saw aqua aerobics twice during our stay. Overall its not 5 star but we had an amazing holiday and would return if the price was right. If you're not expecting 5 stars I'd highly recommend a holiday here.
