Turkey AI hotel for 15 year old? Extra points for one with a water park!

[WimbleOfWombledon]

Can anyone please recommend a decent AI hotel in Turkey for oct half term that will have teens there? I’ve seen lots that look good for little kids (little kids clubs and tiny slides!) but DS will want to hang out with kids his own age.

Bonus points if it has a decent water park on-site or v nearby and edible food!

thanks x

Teenagers of 15, dont really make friends in a hotel imo
Can you bring a friend instead?

Disagree. My Son is an only and he always makes friends on holiday.

Join best hotels in Turkey OP.

Delphins have great waterparks in Turkey.
You want to look at Lara beach, Belek are or Side.

Look for hotels that advertise teen programmes, some TUI ones do

I’ve been to Lara Beach a few times and there’s loads of hotels along there with waterparks. I’ve stayed at Delphin palace and imperial and they have great parks and entertainment. Ramada is more budget friendly which I’ve been to and they have a few slides for both baby and bigger kids!

We stayed at delphin be grand with 2 teens. All of us loved the water park and the food was amazing.

Mine does! He’s super social and likes meeting new kids

These all look great, thanks. Will check them out now.

Check out the Eftalia group of hotels in Antalya there’s quite a few. Currently at Eftalia Splash and it’s been amazing for my lot. They also give you access to Eftalia Island with more slides and you can use the all inclusive there in addition to the hotel.

We are currently at the Liberty Signa. Food is amazing. Has a water park, organised activities etc Ours love the swim up room we have.

These all look great, thanks!

The problem you have with Turkey is that not much outside the actual hotel. So you can’t really walk 10 mins to a bar etc. We have been to a few and Delphin be grand and a couple more around there. DBG is like a death trap by the slides it’s super slippy my daughter feel over, I nearly did and my husband was as worried walking around as it has a slight down hill slope with no mats on the floor just water and wet non grip tiles. My 15 year old now wouldn’t be overly impressed by it if I was to take him now. The evening entertainment is ok. Food areas are crazy / lots of people packed in a small area within the hotels.

Depends what vibe you are looking for. The price verses the size of the water parks are good but outside of the hotels not much happening.

Cyprus is good (better than Turkey I’d say) for multiple things to see and you don’t get hounded to buy fake goods once you get within 10 metres from their shop once you leave the hotel.

Spice hotel, Antalya. Absolutely fabulous.

We just returned last night from AQI Pegasos Resort in Incekum, it's situated in the middle of two sister hotels and you can use the facilities in all three (except the restaurants I think). Has onsite slides, big enough to keep the kids and adults in our group happy (not massive ones though) and the food was really, really good. We could have eaten at one of the a la cartes but didn't bother as the food in the main restaurant was so good. It's right on the beach, which has parasailing, jet skis and an inflatable assault course. The AQI Pegasos Royal next door has four bowling lanes, snooker table & archery. The AQI Pegasos Club is on the other side. Only downside is it's a long transfer.

Some great ideas on here, thanks x

Arum Barut, Side has slides but not a full water park, but it does have a fabulous pier that our teens spent hours diving and flipping off into the sea which us a lively temperature at that time of year.

Get a residence room so your DS has his own space.

it also has a good gym if your DS is into that.

It ticked all the boxes for our DS at that age.
