- Hotel Turan Prince

This hotel is situated on the outskirts of the beautiful city of Antalya, Turkey. The hotel is by a private sandy beach, surrounded by lush gardens, with a modern and comfortable design. The city of Side with its many shopping and entertainment venues is 12 km from the hotel and it is 100 km to the nearest ski resort as well as 5 km to a selection of nightclubs. Antalya airport is 50 km away and links to the transport network are located directly in front of the hotel.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
It was great time, finally met my family again!!!
We are just coming up to our 2nd week , the hotel is amazing and the staff are fantastic , plenty to do varied entertainment and exceptional food!
My only gripe is some of the other guests of the hotel feel it’s acceptable to barge children out of the way at meal times , I have seen this with own children and nieces and many times will stood in the line to get my own food.
Said guests are also very rude and also feel that joining the Que is beyond them as they are entitled to just go straight to the front for their plate of fries!
Other that some entitled gusts it’s a fantastic place!
The hotel has everything that an all inclusive vacation needs. Everything we needed: delicious food, helpful staff, perfect location and great weather were there. I really liked the fact that there were unlimited ice lollies available. The hotel jetty makes a beach experience exceptional. On the end of the jetty you can jump into the sea and swim freely on deeper water which was really cool.
Had a fab time , evening guest relations are brilliant. We had issues with our transfers and they where more than happy to help .
I find myself being over critical at times and for the 7 days I tried to find out what was bad about this trip but in all honesty I couldn’t! Everything about the 7 days and nights me and my family spent in this resort was wonderful. Room - Well kept with up to date furnishings. Mini bar was a welcome plus and a bit of wine and a beer wouldn’t go amiss however having cold water and soft drinks was really welcome. Shower was a bit weak but it was wet enough to keep me clean and I had plenty of hot water if needed (it wasn’t as a cold shower every day was really needed). Pools - were wet and warm with a pool to suit every need and never a lack of beds (despite the best effort of the Germans 😉). Pools temp in the pools was a cool 33degrees C it said on the board which was cool enough to cool down from the 40 degree heat but warm enough not to go into shock like you would in a Spanish pool! The slide pools were colder but that was most likely due to them using constant running water. Bars - The service at all the bars was amazing and the bar staff were really helpful and accommodating. I taught them how to pull a Northern pint, not the European one they are trained for and the cocktails were great! Small queues at busy times but that was helped with a surge of extra staff when needed and the help of waiters asking for orders at the tables. Food - English people will never be fully pleased when away as our tastes differ from any other country and once you remind yourself of this and are happy to experiment with other cultures you will easily find yourself a good meal from the amazing choices that are there for all meals. I didn’t check out the Chinese, Mexican or Sea food restaurants as my kids wouldn’t eat in any of them but every meal we all had a good meal. I would say the options were quite focused on our Eastern “friends” (Russians) but that’s probably understandable giving that there was quite a few of them at the resort. Entertainments - The entertainment team was amazing and special shout outs to Hakan and Memhet who welcomed us on our first night and ensured we had a great time the whole stay and every night spent a few moments chatting to us and making sure we were enjoying our stay. Air rifle shooting, darts, bingo, aqua aerobics and water polo each day and beach volleyball of an evening (1.5hrs if it’s a tough match as it was for ours1) will keep you fully entertained. A different show on every night and the fireworks (Saturday night)and beach party (Wednesday night) were a particular highlight of our week. Our kids were 21 & 15 so didn’t check out the fair or stuff for the younger kids so I can’t comment on those parts. On site shops - There were priced as you would in a resort but comparable to the shops at the top of the street as was the goods although sadly not the same prices as the shops in the villages as we found out on a trip.
