Latest Reviews for Antalya Peninsula

Excellent location, staff very friendly, but because you can go all inclusive you get alot of Germans and Swedish people there. We felt it was like spot the English family there. We went self catering and there are plenty of little supermarkets close - by. The rooms were cleaned everyday which we didnt expect, but if all you want is a base then this is it. The pool was very clean no bits floating around or dead flies like some places have. Wouldnt reccommend you going all inclusive food looked the same everyday. There are pleny of restaurants along the beach road Big Ben and Istanbul where they serve a good steak. We travelled by dolmus to the nearby Cleopatra Beach which is absolutely gorgeous, pure sand, no rocks, very clean. Would go back to this area again

belek does not have much to see in centre,but antalya is gorgeous,very old town,harbour, mix of new and very old buildings,very clean,but very hilly lots of steps

Being ALL INCL. you would expect to wander out during the day. Shopping etc. But to have to go out to eat, says it all. By the way, forget Lira, eveything at the shops is charged in EURO and Dollars.

With all the amenities, this is 5*. But, the food is great if you are Russian or German. The eating areas are clean if you get there early and put yourselves at risk to the crush. The broken or chipped plates and cups put you off, but get over that with a few glasses of wine, which is not bad. We were there low season and assumed that they were winding down, as facilaties were sparse. We found the evening entertainment quite good, once you accept the amount of time spent on explaining the show in various National tongues. Then the show envaribly being performed in English and everyon joining in. STRANGE. The room was basic and if like us you like to wind down before dinner with a bit of telly. Forget it. One BBC channel of repeats, thats it with 32 channels.

Always stayed in Old Side, have not been to the new Side where there are large all inclusive and half board hotels. The people in old Side are very friendly and will look after you. Stayaway from the harbourside where the staff in the restaurants and shops are very pushy and everything is overpriced.

A small 20 bedroom hotel situated in Old Side approx 50 meters from the town beach. This hotel is set within its own quiet garden complete with a small swimming pool. All rooms have air conditioning included in the price. Rooms are quite small and basic but are clean and bedding and towels changed every other day. The majority of guests are from the Netherlands but the staff speak English and we were made welcome.Those who know Old Side will know that there are numerous restaurants in the area catering for all tastes.

Only went in once so you'll have to see other reviews!

Paloma Perissia

We stayed at the Paloma Perissia for two weeks and had a fantastic time. We have stayed in five star all inclusive hotels in the caribean and this hotel is just about on par with them.

The food in the buffet was probably the most varied I have ever had in an all inclusive and pretty much ever night I had no problems picking something to eat (things such as lasagna, half roast chicken, chicken chow mein, kebabs etc). Breakfast are the usual affair with cereals, toast, fried eggs, omlettes etc). There are also four a la carte restaurants, we tried them all apart from the fish restaurant and had excellent food in them all. Most days we had our lunch at the restaurant over looking the sea which was very nice. There is a lady who sits near the pool during the day making fresh crepes (chocolate, sugar, cheese and parsley, & meat fillings) to order if you’re feeling a bit peckish. You can also get ice creams between 3 and 4 in the afternoon and if you’re still hungry after all that there is the patisserie on the 3rd floor where you can get cakes in an afternoon. There is a large terrace on the third floor so you can take your cake out there and sit over looking the pool and beach. We did one day after going for a walk and it felt so relaxing.

The staff in hotel are genuinely very friendly and not just because they want a tip.

The grounds are exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are three swimming pools, one of which has a very shallow end which starts at about 1cm high which was great for my one year old son. We never had any problems getting sun beds as we were normally up early but looking round during the day there always seemed to be some beds free. There is also a fourth pool with two slides going into it, this opens twice a day as there has to be a life guard on duty. The slides are great fun even for grown ups.

The night time entertainment was slightly disappointing. We would normally watch a little bit of it and then go up to the bar for a few drinks. There was never any queuing for drinks although the cocktails didn’t seem too strong as there are prepared in advance.

The rooms are more like a four star hotel and a lot of them only have French balcony’s unless you pay extra for a proper one. There’s satellite TV in the room which has 3 or 4 english channels. Your fridge is stocked daily with water, coke and cartons of juice.

if you want to know more email me but put the hotel name in subject line.

Its a dump & full of perverts.

We stayed here on the 28th oct 08 till 5th nov 08. iv never been to a hotel where there is nothing to do and is surrounded by a war zone. The whole area looked like the yanks had dropped bombs on iraq. The food is cold, The whole complex is full of perverts, and i mean the staff not the ppl staying there. Every bar staff and restaurant staff tried it on with my girlfriend and her sister. Even after being told several times to stay away they don't give in. I reported it all to the manager. She said no no no, my staff are good, nothing like that happens here. I can not tell you how much this site is derelict. There is nothing but 3 little shops that sell sweets (well there is your kids entertainment). The only fun we had here is when a few of us got together and threw many staff fully clothed into the pool. That was the highlight of the holiday. all you can do is sit by a pool, or have so many perverts trying it on with your partners. DON'T USE THIS HOTEL. Also we went to Alanya, what can i say, What a bunch of tossers they are. We were conned, robbed and harassed so much we had to run back to the bus stop and go back to the hole of a hotel. I had 2 daughters with me, 10 and 13. They felt so unsafe around the Turks. They are horrible people who do not like us in their country. Oh yes also don't book excursions, we we conned by the rep of 225 lira and told we will get it back at the airport, ye right. More chance of the manager sacking the staff at the hotel. Look at my pics, you will see for yourself. happy holidays if you risk it there. P.S it wont let me upload pics, but if you want them email me

It was a shame the resort was not a little nearer the hotel as it would have been nice to be able to walk into the resort.

This hotel definately deserves its 5*. It was absolutely lovely. The rooms are large and clean.The staff cannot do enough for you. A good choice of food with good service. We had a wonderful time for a week of winter sun. It is a shame that it is a little of the beaten track as it would have been nice to have a walk in the evenings, but the entertainment was very good.

Side is ancient (pre-roman) Lots of ruins (all that marble lying about can make the place look untidy). Lots of shops in town centre (try saying 'nine danke' and they might leave you alone a bit more!) Lovely beaches (turtles swim off 1 of them). Try the Red Lion (300m from hotel) Family friendly, good food and lots of premiership football; Adem is a real gem.

Was supposed to be 55 C in high summer. In oct, was high 20's a good 10C higher than anywhere else in Turkey (this is not a guarantee!)

Clean, tidy, spacious. Food-good turkish, wide choice. Large pool with water slide.

Good english by staff. They were very helpful

A quiet word; the owner loves cats so they'll be with you throughout your meal!
