Located in the suburbs of Antalya, this hotel club benefits from a great location for lovers of cultural discoveries and excursions. It offers quality service in a charming setting, although it is not very well suited for seaside holidays.
On Lara Beach, in the suburb of Antalya, 7.5 miles from the town centre. Transfer time from the airport, located 5.5 miles away, is approximately 20 minutes.
In spite of the fairly old decor, the rooms are charming, with an alcove and floral balcony. Perpendicular to the beach, they do not directly overlook the sea, but they do offer a good level of comfort: satellite television, free safe, air-conditioning, direct telephone and minibar. The bathrooms, in turn, need renovating and do not have bathtubs.
Located on the seashore, the Club Hotel Sera has 243 rooms set within a main 4-storey buildiing, and some ten bungalows. The relaxation areas centre around the beach, a large exotic garden and the outdoor pool, which is unfortunately stuck between the old casino and the hotel and has few loungers. The hotel has a suberb hammam offering massages and shiatsu sessions.
The meals are served buffet style, with a large variety of international dishes, in the restaurant inside or, if the weather is good, in the open air restaurant. There are also regular themed evenings and children can have their own buffet. Fish lovers will love the Fish Restaurant on the beach, which offers a refreshing setting.
Separated from the hotel by the garden, the beach will disappoint you if you are looking for fine sand. The seashore is actually quite rocky. The relaxation areas include a small artificial creek with sand where most residents flock, a concrete seawall and an unattractive gravel beach. To make up for this problem, the hotel has original decor, inspired by the numerous Greek and Roman ruins scattered around the region.
Built in 1986, the Club Hotel Sera has built its reputation on a superb casino, which was transformed into a jewellery after casinos were banned in the country. The Mediterranean-style decor gives a certain charm, but the hotel is nevertheless old, and is being overtaken by the real estate frenzy taking over the suburbs of Antalya. Both hotel and holiday club, it offers good service and a summer entertainment programme for everyone in the family.

Oceanfront located, this hotel-club, recently built, offers a good compromise between the club package and the traditional hotel industry. It is particularly well suited to French clientele with its French speaking activities team.
This lively hotel, small in size, is directly on the seashore, along a very beautiful creek. Designed for families, it offers a pleasant setting for lively all-inclusive holidays.
Located in the heart of a beautiful pine forest, this club on a human scale offers many activities (French-speaking). The only downside: its beach, covered with pebbles and accesible only by road.
Built ten years ago, this lively hotel has a huge beach and a diving club which will please seaside holiday lovers. But its clients are usually exclusively Russian and German.
Guaranteed change of scene in this holiday club in the style of a pirate's hideaway, which offers numerous activities in an "all-inclusive" formula. An ideal place for families with children.
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. Having popped up just a few years ago, the tourist zone of Lara in effectively made up of huge hotel complexes all lined up one after the other.
Built like a real Ottoman palace, over a huge 25 miles domain, this hotel-club offers a satisfactory "all-inclusive" holiday concept. meals, drinks, sports, leisure and entertainment are actually available for free and in unlimited quantities.
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.

The 5-star Frame Residence hotel, near the Antalya Airport, is a small, narrow building with its own beach right at its front door. The hotel offers numerous activities and entertainment, as does the neighbouring hotel, all in a festive atmosphere. It is particularly recommended for families with children, and is not exactly designed for those for peace and quiet. However, guests can certainly enjoy a pleasant holiday at an attractive price here, with a good quality-price ratio.
The Alap Pasa will be chosen mainly for its authenticity and charm. This traditional hotel is ideally located for visiting Antalya.
Welcome to the wonderful and artificial world of the Amara Dolce Vita! A tourist complex that is vast, both in terms of its size and the number of activities on offer, this themed hotel complex set at the waterside in the middle of a park is perfect for holidaymakers who are happy to share their space with others.
Situated in the heart of Kaleici, the ancient historical part of Antalya, the Marina hotel is an exceptional place. It will suit those for whom access to the sea is not the most important thing, but who look rather for refined and genuine locations. Dream location for couples.

The Syllium is a lively hotel with new facilities where activities and entertainment are offered all day long.
The Alinda Beach Hotel deserves a mention for its large, albeit pebbly beach and family atmosphere. But it is lacking in terms of charm and comfort.
