All round winner
Wonderful hotel, with magnificent lobby (8 floor high atrium). We wanted to just relax for our one week - which we did in real comfort at this hotel. We only booked a month before and got rooms with the larger balconies - which was a bonus. Plenty of variety at the restaurant. From 7:30 through to midnight there was always somewhere where you could be fed. Pleasantly surprised by the evening entertainment - we didn't attend the Animation team shows in the Ampitheatre, but there was live music for three nights in the Sunset bar. Wonderful pools and amazingly (for September) not too much difficulty with grabbing a sun lounger. Only minus re the hotel is its location - there isn't much to do outside of the hotel. There are a handful of shops at the resort, including a boutique and leather shop. The prices here were rather expensive and in Euros (we'd taken Turkish Lira). I think this is possibly because they have a captive audience and consequently the prices are more expensive that if yo...Read more

Fantastic holiday!
My family and I were so impressed with everything about this hotel that we have already booked to return next year. The hotel is well designed, clean and very spacious. Although we visited at the peak of the holiday season, it covers a huge area, so is never crowded or noisey. The food is delicious, every palate catered for. The facilities and activities are extensive (10 & 12 year old never had time to be bored!)The staff are brilliant! They work very long hours but are always cheerful, friendly and helpful. The entertainers are amazing, putting on a good variety of shows. Outside entertainment is brought in about twice a week, and is also of a high standard. This hotel really deserves it's 5 stars!

Lovely stylish modern hotel,exceptionally clean, staff courteous, friendly and very helpful nice relaxed atmosphere, great for children entertainment team a gem. Great food plenty of choice luxurious gardens and pool areas, Germans hog all the sunbeds . However, there is plenty but they take more than needed if a late riser and want a sunbed then you will have to involve guest relations, but they will solve the problem now for location probally will be a great resort in the next 5 years no where to go outside the hotel spare untidy land both sides, a shopping mall approx 2 miles up the road great views of other 5 star hotels not authentic turkey. No sound from any mosque none in the area. But dont let this put you off the hotel deserves its 5 star and well worth a visit Antalya easy to each and lots of reasonably priced trips via thomson and most include lunch. Dont forget to make reservations for the italian and turkish restaurants well worth the visit.

Clean, Posh, but repetitive Nosh!
Nice clean, modern hotel, only second season. Staff friendly, helpful, but mainly German speaking, as guests are mainly German. Thomson Representative very helpful. Food in main restaurant, huge selection, but the same every night. BEWARE staff in restaurant empty the unfinished bottles of wine to make up full ones for the following evening, so ask for a fresh one, and watch the waiter remove the cork with a corkscrew otherwise you get someone elses slops, or a dead fly! Entertainment not very good. Pools lovely and clean, but distinct lack of sunbeds, and the usual towel reserving very early in the mornings! The hotel grounds are well kept, and nice for a stroll in the evenings. The hotel deserves its 5 star rating, and is well worth a visit. Don't forget to book for the Italian and Greek restaurants, they are well worth a visit.
