George: “Very large and striking in its magnificent view. The staff are friendly and speak a few languages well, but not all. I especially want to note the food. A lot of seafood, meat, fruits, than not every hotel is ready to pamper its guests. The only thing I didn’t like was the poor housekeeping. And so in general I advise everyone to fly here!”

Diana: “I rested in KAMELYA CLUB with my husband. Very beautiful and well-groomed beach, warm sea even in rainy weather. The staff is very courteous. The reception staff speak several languages very well, and responded to all my requests. The main restaurant with a rich menu, my husband and I were constantly eating to the hilt. However we had a Family Room and it was very disappointing. The TV did not work, and the air conditioning practically did not cool the room. The feeling after the rest remained mixed.”

Gulmira: “Rest in the hotel caused ambiguous impressions. On the one hand, I was pleasantly pleased with a huge big territory of the hotel, buffet, beach with the sea, and masseur’s services. On the other hand, poor room cleaning, and a poor entertainment programme. I would probably not recommend to visit Kamelya K Club.
Eugene: “I have been on holiday in Turkey for the 7th time now. Some complexes frankly annoyed me to the extent that I was ready to forget about rest in this country forever. However, Kamelya K Club pleasantly surprised me. Entertainment programme at a high level. The food pampering its variety. Maids so well cleaned up that I even left a tip of $10 regularly.
