Spa Hotels in Antalya

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.

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.

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.

Facilities all great, clean and maintained well - spa has a relaxed vibe and sauna/steam room worked perfectly - I suggest keeping it open till later however. Gym has top tier machines/equipment and is open 24/7. Cliff side swimming area was the highlight of our stay. We chose the ‘standard king room’, and although I see a lot of reviews saying the room size was small, I disagree - the room size was slightly small but similar to most basic room options from hotels I have stayed in. Smart TV, was very big - perfect for when it was too hot outside and needed a break. Room amenities such as shampoo, body soap, lotion, etc. felt high quality. Breakfast tasty, and 30euro might seem expensive but I do think it’s worth it for what they offer. What did bother me however, was being asked to pay for breakfast (twice) whilst still eating, on top of that, when I asked for the price before we ate, the staff didn’t seem to know what the price was - not professional at all. Pool towels have to be taken from downstairs in the spa and not by the pool which I thought was unusual and tedious. When we asked the pool-bar staff where to get towels, again, no idea and seemed clueless, we had to ask a different member of staff at the very bottom by the cliffside to get an answer. No bringing food/drink from outside - the hotel felt like you were being watched all the time, making sure you don’t break their ridiculous rule! I tried refilling my complementary bottle from the water dispenser downstairs, but I was told this was not allowed… seems like a way for you to instead pay for their glass bottled water. Never experience this from any hotel in my life. Overall, a hotel with exceptional facilities and amenities ruined by an unfriendly atmosphere and unusual hotel rules. Sadly, this made us feel unwelcome at times and I probably would not stay here again.

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.

Stayed for 5 days in early May. We were looking forward to a warm hammam and a heated pool in the basement. The sea, as expected, was cool, and the hammam was a lifesaver, but the basement pool was a letdown. The water was around 20-21 degrees Celsius, despite being advertised as 26 degrees. The rooms were clean, and housekeeping was daily! The hotel isn't brand new but is well-maintained. We had no complaints about the food, except for one day when crayfish were served (they were really on the verge of spoiling in terms of smell and taste), but otherwise, the food was varied and of good quality. Besides the three main meals, there was a snack bar, a cafeteria, a lobby bar, an outdoor pool bar, and a beach bar, which was a nice bonus. The hotel also has its own tunnel under the boulevard, providing direct access from the outdoor pools to the beach.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of May. I'd give the hotel a solid four stars! The pros are the location, service, and the attentiveness of the staff. They let us check in at 9 AM without an extra charge. The breakfast was perfectly adequate; nothing fancy but you definitely won't go hungry. There's a bus stop right by the hotel, and shops and cafes are nearby. The old city walls are a 10-minute walk away. The main downside is that the rooms are a bit tired; at least our room on the 3rd floor showed its age and needs a cosmetic renovation and furniture replacement. However, for a 2-3 day stay, it's perfectly fine.

The City Live Hotel is in front of the large shopping centre Terracity, super for one night and a shopping mall in Antalya. The taxi stand is in front of the hotel and there is a restaurant, a exchange office is located right on the side street. Breakfast is in the form of a buffet and in summer you can even go to the pool and sun. The staff are friendly and helpful. In the room there is a sofa and enough room for 3 people, as there is still one single bed and a double bed available. The windows are just kippable and there is no balcony except in the Junior Suite. However, you can book a smoking room. A air conditioning is also in the room and the beds and kittens are comfortable. What was hard was that you had to wait very long for the lifts, although there are two. This hotel is ideal for a short trip, it would recommend if you have no big ideas and want it clean and comfortable and is only for shopping 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.
