Antalya Beach Hotels

After our wedding, my husband and I were exhausted from the long flight and overnight bus travel. We were so touched and happy that the hotel upgraded our room and beautifully decorated our bedroom as a honeymoon service. Out of the three accommodations we stayed at in Turkey, this was the only one that decorated for our honeymoon. The staff were also very friendly. The all-inclusive package was absolutely worth every penny. However, the massages are expensive and not really worth the price. I had two massages, and the second one felt like an even bigger waste of money. The Hammam, in particular, isn't really worth getting. You could get a much higher quality and longer massage for the same price at a Korean bathhouse or a different massage parlor. Also, it was disappointing that they always cut the massage short by 5 minutes, especially considering it wasn't cheap. Aside from that, everything else was great! There are smoking areas scattered throughout, which is great for smokers but might be a bit uncomfortable for non-smokers.

An excellent hotel with lots of advantages such as great location (30min from the airport and also near the sea), great food variety (my child loved waffles and pancakes and cheesecakes, I was diving into vegetables and we both were happy!). Staff are very nice, starting from cleaners to technical maintenance people. Pools are great, just the aquapark is actually 2 slides and unfortunately they never start on time but later and always seem to be closing earlier than announced on the poster. (should be 10-12, 14-17). Room was clean and looked exactly like on the photos. The only thing is that if you are placed somewhere in the building B where there is a main restaurant and lots of green areas you may be woken up after 5am by the lawn mower and noises of cleaning and kitchen preps. Also, worth mentioning that the hotel is well maintained and there is work going on improvements every day. We needed to use medical services and the nurse was absolutely lovely. We had a mega swift transfer to the hospital and were well taken care for over there. Also, if you life cats you'll find at least 5 adult and couple of kittens running around but they are not agressive and not disturbing. They are absolutely cute and lovely. This is definitely important when you travel with kids!!! So all in all, a good place to stay with kids when you want to rest and enjoy your hols.

A wonderful hotel, everything was perfect - responsive staff, excellent breakfast, and an ideal location. I got a lovely room on the ground floor with its own terrace. Everything was simply wonderful! Thank you so much for a great stay.

Upon arrival, a valet promptly assisted us with our luggage, making the check-in process incredibly smooth. The young lady at the front desk was very welcoming and enthusiastic, assigning us a lovely sea-view room on the 7th floor. The ocean views were absolutely stunning! The hotel boasts five swimming pools, and you can even take an elevator directly down to the beach for snorkeling. There's also a spacious gym. The landscaping is beautifully done, and we just loved this hotel perched on a cliff along the Mediterranean coast. We booked a package that included breakfast and dinner, and the meals were incredibly generous – so much so that we couldn't even finish it all, which meant we ended up skipping lunch because breakfast was so filling! I found the restaurant staff to be very warm and friendly. Contrary to some online rumors about discrimination, I actually felt that Turkish people are very kind and hospitable towards Chinese visitors. If we ever return to Antalya, we'll definitely be staying at this hotel again.

We flew in for New Year's and stayed at Akra V across the street, but we used all the facilities of the Akra hotel. The indoor pool is fantastic, a comfortable 28 degrees, and you can swim under to the outdoor heated section. There's an excellent sauna and hammam, plus a huge gym. Towels are provided at the spa entrance. We brought robes from our room. Everything was very impressive.

This review is from a Turkish speaking Tourist : Things I didn’t like : 1. The BUFFET is not worth it at all for a 5 Star Hotel = honestly it is very underwhelming, there aren’t many Turkish specialities and the desserts are truly just filled with SUGAR. The Coffee was extremely disappointing, it was essentially just hot water with a small coffee earthy aftertaste. Very disappointing for a country known for its strong coffee ! The snack bars have slushy machines that are never cleaned and don’t taste good at all. The ice-creams served in the hotel are essentially RUBBER. As a Turkish man myself, I was very shocked because our country is known for such amazing delicacies. The only great food night was Wednesday night called “TURKISH NIGHT” at the buffet, which they have every Wednesday. The rest of the week is simply generic food. 2. The staff “helping” customers book day trips and taxis is fully SCAMMING foreign customers = I asked this man to help me book a boat trip to SULUADA and he said it would cost me 60€/person. Not knowing that I was Turkish myself, he looked at my face and just wrote 60€ per person on a piece of paper and looked at me🤣 I then told him that i saw tickets on the KLOOK app at 25€ per person and he lied to me saying that I would have to pay at the boat a supplement. I tried leaving and he stopped me and said he could go down to 38€ per person 😂 so I bought the tickets on KLOOK and had an amazing day without any scams haha please don’t believe the prices from the man next to the reception. 3. The spa, the outdoor swimming pool and the fitness center all close at 8 pm. There is essentially nothing to do at the hotel after 8 😅 4. The Hotel clients is essentially made up of 90% RUSSIAN speakers haha I have never seen more Russians in my life, that’s not a truly bad thing just preparing you that the hotel really is trying to accommodate the Russian clientele as much as possible 😅 GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE HOTEL : 1. Maybe because I was a Turkish speaker = the staff (beside the lying salesman haha) was very kind, very much the Turkish warmth and inviting culture. Very much appreciated. 2. For alcohol drinkers, the bar is unlimited if you book the all inclusive pass. 3. The outdoor pool is nice. 4. The check in and checkout process is very simple, but could be also because I speak turkish. 5. There are a few little supermarkets if you want snacks like ice creams, also beautiful walking roads along the beach.

This isn't my first time at this hotel, and we absolutely love coming back here. I think this might be the only hotel in Antalya with its own private sandy beach! And I mean truly private! At other hotels, even if they claim 'private,' you often end up on a public beach or there's no sand at all (just cliffs leading straight into the sea with ladders). This hotel, however, has both sand and its own piers, plus convenient ladders for getting into the water. The heated pools are comfortable for swimming (I'm a southerner and I love warmth). In the mornings, there are group sessions for stretching and yoga. The food is delicious EVERYWHERE, and it's all included in the All-Inclusive package. Missed breakfast? No problem. You can grab pide, gözleme, or even ice cream near the beach. I particularly love the mini coffee shop by the red pool; the staff there make excellent coffee and various refreshing smoothies and cocktails. After lunch, there are lovely afternoon snacks with cakes, waffles, and delicious tea available in the same area, near the red pool. Dinners here are simply superb – the variety of dishes is incredible. On Wednesdays, they even served sushi. There are live performances by local artists during dinner, so in the evening, you can enjoy your meal and a glass of wine to harmonious music. After dinner, you can head to a full concert on the local stage – dancers, singers, cover bands, DJs (the hotel's website always lists who's performing and at what time, and it generally has a well-organized daily program). And if it suddenly rains and you feel cold, you can warm up in the steam room (which is quite good), sauna, or hammam. There's a pianist who plays periodically in the lobby during the day. I adore neoclassical music, so I was completely captivated and sat there listening to him. Guests here come from all sorts of countries and continents: Africa, Australia, the UK, Europe, all former USSR countries, and Middle Eastern countries. It's a shame I didn't see any guests from Asia; they were definitely missed in this friendly international atmosphere. It's truly interesting to chat with vacationers from such diverse cultures. Now, for the downsides (because nothing's perfect): The hotel rooms are showing their age. In our room, things would periodically fall off: light switches, power outlets, the bidet faucet. The sink was often clogged, so we had to call for it to be cleaned. The window seals could use replacing too, as they no longer block out street noise effectively. This next point might be neutral for some and a con for others: Not all staff speak German, Russian, or even English. We spoke one of the three, and most of the time we were understood and received a reply in one of those languages. However, there were instances where housekeepers only spoke Turkish and didn't understand any English. We had to use a translator for Turkish to communicate. The outdoor pools are closed from early October to the end of April (inclusive), with only the indoor pool operating. From May to the end of September, only the outdoor pools are open. Conclusion: I'd rate this hotel an 8/10. All the pros outweigh the cons.

I've stayed at many Rixos hotels in different countries. Some of their hotels have the 'Premium' designation. However, this Rixos Downtown Antalya is NOT Premium. So, I don't understand some of the demanding reviews. The hotel doesn't hide the fact that it's an older, standard 5-star property, but with good service. Basically, if you don't expect premium when it's not advertised, everything will be fine. The grounds are very compact, but they have everything you need for a small, comfortable vacation. No, there's no salmon for breakfast, but the food is quite varied and high-quality; Rixos stays true to itself in this regard. The room was good (we had a Comfort room with a sea view), and everything was in working order, including the bathroom. No dirt, mold, or other common issues with older hotels were noticed. Housekeeping was done daily. I only noted one downside: the double bed had two single mattresses covered by one sheet. By morning, they would separate, so one of us would wake up in the gap between the mattresses. The pillows were also uncomfortable, and there was no pillow menu. Otherwise, everything was great. The heated pool was 29-30 degrees Celsius, there's a spa, hammam, Russian steam room, and Finnish sauna. The landscape is picturesque, and they have good bicycles (free of charge) for rides along the sea.

Located in the heart of the old town's commercial district, driving into the area is quite difficult due to the very narrow roads. Upon arrival, you can park in the passageway in front of the hotel. The hotel rooms are large and beautiful, quiet at night, and the breakfast is delicious. The owners are a very friendly family, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended for accommodation in Antalya!

Not very satisfied with the room size and other services. I booked my room inclusive of breakfast and dinner. Set breakfast with minimum spread. Dinner was also set with only three options to choose from.
