Nestled in the middle of the pines, the Club Festival Tekirova is a small structure that was bought 6 years ago by the tour operator, Pacha Tours, and fully renovated. There are daily activities, during the day and evening, led by a 100% French-speaking team, and excursions with guides are organized regularly. In summer, a mini-club looks after children aged 4 to 12. The hotel is nevertheless inconveniently located far from the beach.

Built in 1989, the Aspen is a quiet, charming little hotel with traditional, well-preserved decor, located on the shaded and semi-pedestrian streets of the old town of Antalya.

As you might have guessed from its name, the Titanic is an upmarket theme hotel entirely devoted to the famous shipwreck. You'll find nautical references all over the place, right down to the very last detail, such as the sailor suits worn by the staff and even the porthole-style windows. The site covers some 23.5 acres, so this isn't the place to come if you're not a fan of walking! It is a great place for families though, as there are lots of facilities for children, whilst those who like to party will be pleased to know there is plenty of nightlife to be enjoyed. In fact, the only ones who might be disappointed with this place are those looking to experience the charm and authenticity of the real Turkey.

This immense luxury hotel built in 2005 occupies a 33 acre site, and what really sticks to mind is the outrageous scale of its facilities. As a result, the distances between different parts of the establishment are immense. There is no arguing with the level of service, and the quality of the facilities will please even the most demanding of guests, whether you are bringing the whole family or visiting as a couple. The only blot on the copybook is the tourist area of Lara, which is significantly lacking in charm. Hotels now cluster one on top of the other, having sprung up almost overnight 5 years ago.
