In the heart of Kemer marina, a fishing village 28 miles from Antalya. Transfer time from the airport, located 34 miles away, is approximately 45 min.
Spacious and carefully decorated, all the rooms have satellite television, adjustable air-conditioning, direct telephone, mini-bar, a safe for a fee, and a balcony. The bathrooms are small but stunning, with bathtubs and hair dryers. Request, if possible, to stay in the rooms on the sea side: the view over the marina and the village of Kemer is stunning, especially at sunset. Room service is available 24 hours a day.
The Turkiz is formed of a large 3-storey building, located in front of Kemer marina, with 164 rooms, two restaurants, several shops, a fitness centre and a superb thalassatherapy centre. An outdoor pool with loungers in teak can be accessed by the lifts, but it is surrounded by the boundary walls of the hotel and has no greenery. Three tennis courts are also available for free.
The hotel has a main restaurant for the buffets, which is tastefully decorated. It offers delicious international cuisine with many starters, main courses and varied desserts. The "a la carte" restaurant, meanwhile, offers a magnificent view of the marina from the terrace. An ideal setting for a romantic candlelit dinner. As for foodies, the hotel also has a pâtisserie selling excellent Eastern pastries.
The hotel has a small well-equipped beach just beyond it, as well as a large sandy beach 985 ft away, where there are several sports activities on offer. The only disadvantage is their location nearby the marina: the water is less clear than in the rest of the bay.
Completely renovated recently, the hotel Turkiz is a luxurious place offering a very charming, discreet and refined setting. Exposed stone, teak and wrought-iron furnishing, and warm, bright colours combine in perfect harmony. The hotel also boasts a brand new thalassatherapy centre, designed and managed by a French man. On the other hand, it has few sports and entertainment facilities, and does not offer other activities.

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.

In one word: white. The Hillside Su of Antalya has opted for white throughout the entire establishment (from the ceilings and floors to the furniture). Needless to explain that this choice has made it a very trendy hotel primarily suited for couples.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
