5-Star Hotels in Antalya

The location is fantastic! The views from the balcony and the breakfast room are absolutely stunning! On a clear day, you can even see the snow-capped mountains across the bay! Although the hotel is a bit old, the rooms are exceptionally spacious, and the whole place is clean and comfortable. The breakfast spread is also very rich and generous!

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.

Considering the March rate was reasonable – 2.5 times lower than it will be in August 2026 – this is simply a wonderful option. The main plus is the food. High-quality fresh greens, a small assortment of fruits and vegetables, fish and meat (fish only for dinner), plenty of pastries, drinks – all quite edible and tasty. Special thanks to the restaurant staff – they meticulously wiped tables and changed (not just wiped) napkins and tablecloths. On a Saturday, even in March, we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to clear (most likely, this is a common scene in summer) (this didn't happen on other days). Dinner was more interesting than lunch and breakfast. A downside: the soups were spicy; they were tasty but spicy (I wanted to try local cuisine and I love cream soups, but the spiciness made it impossible). Naturally, this is definitely not suitable for children. However, it's worth noting there was a separate small table for children, perhaps with non-spicy soup, but I didn't check. The bar staff were very pleasant and quick. Entertainment: I don't know about summer, but in March, it consisted of very cheap performers and shows. Internet: Excellent. A peculiarity: using the Yandex Go app is convenient, but to call a taxi in the city center, you need local Wi-Fi; using foreign mobile data is hit or miss. Rooms: Family room, very small balcony, with a side view of the sea. Sitting on the balcony isn't very comfortable as you'll be face-to-face with neighbors. Problem: Lighting. Half of the ceiling lights were not working. In the bathroom, the ventilation didn't work at all, and after a shower, condensation dripped directly onto my head from the ceiling. We constantly kept the bathroom door open (an uncomfortable option, but there was no other choice). I don't know where one would dry towels in the summer, considering the small dryer on the tiny balcony only has space for 3 swimsuits. The shampoos, conditioners, gels, toothpaste, and toothbrushes were of very low quality. The beds were decent, but the pillows were old, with lumpy fillings inside. You have to ask for bathrobes at reception, and they weren't in pristine condition. The bedroom door was completely broken and didn't close properly (room 440). We didn't check the air conditioning. Upon check-in, only water was available at the bar; the advertised cola, Fanta, etc., were missing (see screenshot with information). The reception promised to bring them, but never did during our 3-night stay. However, considering there was plenty at the bar and restaurant, we didn't bother reminding them again. The hammam, sauna, and indoor pool in the spa were average. The pool water was cool. The spa area is inconveniently located – you have to walk past all the guests at reception and the bar in your robes and slippers. There's a cafeteria from 11 am to 6 pm where you can have tea and pastries, with a very pleasant Russian-speaking staff member named Ira. Also, there's a panoramic terrace on the 6th floor, which we discovered by chance. The hotel has its own access to the sea via a tunnel, but there's very little space – a narrow beach, more for a quick dip before returning to the hotel grounds for sun loungers (see photo from the beach, where the closed tunnel gates are visible). Considering all the points mentioned above, I would not agree to pay 45,000 rubles per night for a family room for four in August.

Aska Lara Resort & Spa is truly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at, especially for families with children. The facilities and activities are fantastic, but what made this hotel unforgettable was the incredible kindness of the staff. I have a five-year-old son with autism, and travelling isn’t always easy for us. From the moment we arrived, the Guest Relations team and every member of staff made us feel welcome, supported, and genuinely cared for. They went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, and it meant more to us than words can express. I chose Aska Lara to celebrate both my son’s birthday and my engagement with my boyfriend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. We felt at home throughout our stay. Everyone—from reception and Guest Relations to the restaurants, shops, and housekeeping—was so warm, friendly, and caring. This wasn’t just a hotel stay; it was a beautiful memory that we will always treasure. Aska Lara Resort & Spa is the only hotel I would happily return to, and whenever I visit Antalya, this will always be my first choice. Thank you for making our holiday so special. We can’t wait to come back.

Mardan palas is a beautiful hotel. Rest and soul and body, staff are as warning and benign as possible! Rooms are clean, daily cleaning at excellent level, filling mini bar and hygiene facilities is permanent. Alcohol is excellent, food is perfect. Visited a la card fish restaurant, very enjoyed the kitchen and staff. Thank you to all hotel staff for the holiday!

Everything's great! This isn't my first time staying here. There are pros and cons, but I like it. Last time, my impression was spoiled by some very loud German-speaking women who quieted down after 11 PM. I thought that's what German upbringing is all about, but alas, they showed up out of nowhere at 2 AM, screaming terribly! I had to knock on the wall.

Hotel and rooms are bit old but clean n well maintained Waterpark slides are fun for a few hrs specially for kids Amenities are enjoyable Drinks are good, food is average Overall a good experience

Amazing hotel with great service! We stayed one night before a flight and it was everything we wanted. The gym is incredible with an outdoor and indoor pool. We left super early in the morning to catch our flight and they gave us breakfast to go. Definitely recommend this hotel if you want to be near the airport. We took a taxi to the old town and cost us about 500 TL

The hotel grounds were very nice, and my room was comfortable and a good size, with a balcony. I found the bathroom a bit small, but it was clean and perfectly adequate for me. However, I must criticize the service in the restaurant. The food tasted good, and there was a good selection. What I didn't like, though, was that the waitstaff barely paid attention to the guests. Either I wasn't asked what I wanted to drink at all, or when I finally had something to drink and wanted to get a second plate, my glass, even though it was still full, had already been cleared away. The service managers were also frequently busy with their cell phones instead of paying attention to the guests. They certainly didn't give a friendly or motivated impression. Why a receptionist was standing in front of the restaurant, even though she neither greeted me nor asked for my room number, remained a mystery to me. In short: good hotel, good food, but service with surprisingly little interest in guests. 🥂

My husband and I were on holiday, celebrating our wedding anniversary. The location is great, the sea is nearby. The hotel grounds are green, but we were there out of season. Towels and bed linen are constantly changed in the rooms, everything is white. Water is brought every day. The Russian-speaking girl at the reception (we didn't remember her name) was very friendly and helped with all questions. And others at the reception helped with everything. The hotel brought a compliment of fruit and wine, very nice for the attention. Turkish breakfasts: olives, greens, vegetables and fruits, yogurt and eggs, etc. We liked it, of course, not five stars
