Armas Kaplan Paradise in Tekirova

We had a wonderful stay at the Armas Kaplan Paradise Hotel:

We were very satisfied with our experience.
The group transfer from the airport took about two hours; we recommend opting for an individual one (faster option).
Check-in was quick, reception staff did a great job.
Our room with balcony was excellent.
Night soup, chicken-and-veggie buns served until six in the morning were particularly enjoyable.
An amazing double bed with a large blanket provided ultimate comfort.
Fridge stocked with drinks such as Pepsi Cola, Mirinda, 7up, mineral water, regular water.
Daily cleaning service without request, towels and amenities regularly replaced.
Bathroom impeccable, no leaks or issues anywhere.
Breakfasts varied daily with fresh pastries, pancakes, omelets, fried eggs (both sides cooked upon request), churros, various sweet and nutty spreads, honey.
Beach walk takes only five minutes through shady pine trees with pleasant aroma.
Ground coffee available everywhere including on the beach.
Plenty of friendly cats and kittens roaming around creating a contact zoo-like atmosphere that we fed fish leftovers to their delight.
Drinks offered starting at ten AM on the beach: water, beer, wine, coffee—timely availability fit perfectly into our schedule.
The beach itself is covered with small pebbles about the size of rice grains. As you move towards the entrance into the sea, the pebbles grow slightly larger, resembling beans in size. Once you enter the water, they become even bigger, but after just 1-2 meters, you're able to dive in and swim freely.
Between breakfast and lunch, shawarma, French fries, chicken nuggets are served.
Fish (mainly trout) is featured every day during lunch/dinner.
Vegetables and fruits plentiful along with pasta dishes and sauces like Bolognese.
Quality alcoholic beverages include wines, Aperol, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, cocktails, good quality beer.
Meals included meat daily: lamb kebabs, turkey, beef, veal.
Entertainment includes beach games (Bocce ball, volleyball), darts competition, archery (beginners welcome with targets set at five meters), evening children's programs followed by shows and disco bar open till two AM.
Hotel grounds lush with greenery, numerous swings and exercise equipment available.
Tennis court and billiards area present (presumably paid, didn't check it out).
SPA facilities offer sauna, Turkish hammam, separate cool pool, massage services for additional cost.
Pharmacy nearby and within walking distance (5-10 min.) supermarkets: Sok, Carrefour, Migros Jet, slightly further away BIM, A101.
Water sports rentals accessible near the beach at affordable prices.
Aquapark equipped with three slides (not used).
Nearby historic site Fazelis (Lycian and Roman ruins, beautiful coves and beaches).
Possible excursions to nearby city Kemer.
Excursion tours also available to other cities and attractions, e.g., Kesh.

Booked last minute as a family of four with 2 children under 14 and we have constantly mentioned how great the place is. The staff, food and location have been fantastic throughout with special mention to Onur in the restaurant who is an absolute gentleman and looked out for and after us throughout the holiday, also special mention goes to Ibrahim the grill chef who's tasty treats we looked forward to every night, He is a master at his art and he is backed up by the rest of the food experience which has been top class with something for everyone. During the days the entertainment team are always engaging and really know how to get everyone involved, special mention here goes to Yunus who was always super friendly, helpful and polite, the whole ENTS team work so hard every day to build a fantastic vibe and my hat goes off to them. There is a great market shop and Turkish cafe attached that also provide a great service, special mention goes to Albert in the Cafe for looking after me especially. The rooms are well air conditioned and served their purpose although one of our single beds for the kids was really a chaise longue(our only issue). The clientele of the hotel tended to be mostly eastern European however everyone is made welcome and didnt detract from the experience. The surroundings are fantastic, close to the beach and areas of natural beauty, and includes some lovely wooded areas that provide some great shaded spots around the hotel complex. Would definitely return to this resort. Thanks again to Onur, Ibrahim, Yunus and Albert although the whole team, bar staff, restaurant staff, cleaners etc were also fantastic! Cheers, see you next time!

Wonderful hotel, wonderful place, wonderful service. Everything at the highest level. The hotel is run by people with passion, animators, bartenders, cooks. It was sad to leave and tears rolled down my cheeks. I hope to visit this place again as soon as possible.

Hotel price/quality. If you can afford to pay extra for a real five-star hotel. Pay extra. If you're strapped for cash / this is the perfect option

We just got back from this unique and beautiful place. The hotel has a beautiful location, good food, clean rooms and really great people who work there. And especially the entire animation team. It is the people who are the heart of this hotel. But the greatest people that we will miss the most are Liza, Luda and Ahmed because they gave us the most joy, fun and heart.
Liza ❤️ - thank you for your smile that welcome us every day, for your good heart and the joy you gave us every day while playing darts and enjoying the evening show.
Luda ❤️ - thank you for your good energy and joy not only when playing water polo but all the time, every day.
And last but not least, Ahmed ❤️ - thank you for your great joy, kindness and smile every day. We already miss your aqua gym and your truly wonderful Zumba time.
We already miss you very much. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful time. We recommend this hotel to everyone. It was an unforgettable time.

Excellent service, special thanks to Sersan, Lyudmila, Yunus and Orhan for good evenings and interesting entertainment program! The hotel also provides massage services, Emre is a real professional. The food is delicious and fresh, the rooms are clean. 5/5??
