Turkey AI HELP!!

Wildrose83 · 19/01/2026 11:16

I’m looking for some Turkey All inclusive Hotel recommendations please good people of Mumsnet!!
There are soooo many hotels that the rabbit hole is exhausting me!

We went to Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme last year and loved it, but fancy a change!! Something similar!
Criteria;
Dalaman or Antalya Airports only
Good 4 or 5* but not absolutely top end (£8-9k for 10nights budget).
Leafy, green, scenic resort (dislike high rise, super busy, hemmed in hotels!).
Very good nurturing kids club and ideally a teens club too.
On the beach.
Good slides and activities.
Decent local town for a touch of turkey knock offs shopping!

Thats it!!
Throw your best ever Turkey holiday at me, I’m ready!!
Thanks!!

Baia Lara in Antalya - amazing

jjjwgagy · 19/01/2026 15:24

I stayed at Aska Lara in Lara beach which was lovely it was one of the cheaper hotels but with your budget I would definitely look at Lara beach as some of the more expensive hotels look amazing.

Pegasus world Side?

QforCucumber · 19/01/2026 15:44

Pegasus World is good but nothing really around it without a bus journey.

Liberty Fabay or Signa, we've done Fabay twice and will be going back a 3rd time, nothing has come close for us.

We went to one last year that ticked all the boxes ,
but bodrum airport?
any reason why you won’t consider that ? I’ll try look up the name as it escapes me at the mo …

Pine Bay Resort, Kusadasi.

I'd recommend Club and Hotel Letoonia near Fethiye. I can't comment on the kids clubs beyond the fact that they exist as mine are much older, but it's a stunning setting for the hotel, there is loads to do included within the AI concept and the hotel boat runs across to Fethiye (or get a taxi) for your shopping fix.

Barut Hemera is gorgeous

I second this.

Fethiye also have the Lycian rock tombs, and a Roman amphitheatre, as well as the most amazing Turkish Hamam baths, in the Old Town (Paspatur).

Weekly market (stalls), plus also the Old Town market.

I really like the setting and scenery but the rooms and restaurants look a bit dated! Spending so much money, would like a little touch of luxury tbh without sounding snobby

Liberty Lykia in Fethiye (nearest airport is Dalaman) absolutely outstanding, private beach, amazing cocktails, nice swimming pools, stunningly beautiful surroundings. Great kids club and waterpark if needed but plenty of spaces for adults.

TokenGinger · 19/01/2026 21:56

Try the TUI Blue Tropical two doors down in Sarigerme. I went last summer and it was brilliant. Food was exceptional!

Or possibly the Holiday Village next door - that’s where I’m going this year. I’m not sure if it’s too young for teens, but they have plenty going on… high ropes course, football academy, a teen hangout etc.

wotsitallfor · 19/01/2026 21:57

Liberty Fabay was brill for us, meets all your criteria I think, not so sure about teens club.

Ohcrap082024 · 19/01/2026 21:58

Another vote for Liberty Lykia.

Hope24 · 19/01/2026 22:10

Nirvana Cosmopolitan - we had an amazing stay here!

labradorservant · 19/01/2026 22:17

Voyage belek. Try a local travel agent called Kaden. Can get the hotel at a much better price. I saved a few £k but that’s for a week in October.

Moen · 19/01/2026 22:19

Pegasos World in Side.

There are taxis right outside the hotel to go into Side old town for around 10 euro.

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 20/01/2026 08:18

Look at Lara Barut. Food was excellent. Lots for teens to do but I’m not sure if they have a teens activity club as such as it wasn’t something I needed
