All Inclusive needed in Turkey - where to go

[emmywoo]

Hi All, Hubby, I and 2.5dd are looking to go to Turkey in either June or September. I have been recommended Lykia World but some reviews although sound very good, it is very pricy as not everything is "all inclusive". Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go. Thanks in advance. xx

Lykia World is really great. It is pretty much all inclusive as you get wine and beer with meals. You just have to pay for bar drinks but you could always go to into the town instead. Unless you are planning on drinking lots of spirits in the bar then LW would be fine. btw the wine that comes with the meals comes by the litre - even if you just ask for a glass! My DH doesn't drink so I my DS1 and me shared a litre every night. We saw plenty of people who drink a litre each! Beer is just self service. Would love to go back this year but as there are four of us just can't afford it.

Hi Have booked to go to Side in Turkey to a hotel called Pegasos world it is with Thompson holidays. We are going first week in may.
We were also looking at Lykia world but far too expensive.
There are 4 of us going me, husband 5 year old and 20 month old. It was a good price £1500 all inclusive for 2 weeks will have to let you know what it is like when we get back. Couldn't find many reviews for the hotel as it is new with Thompson this year.

Have a look at the First Choice Turkey Holiday Village, we had a fabulous time there and have been twice.

Try Club Med Palmiye. It may seem expensive at first glance, but it is truely all included, and just great. Fab food, good childcare if you want it, masses of sports and high standard of accomodation. We went last year and will try and go back next year.

i can also second the holiday village. have also been a few times and it was great.

I am looking into this at the moment and wondered if anyone had any updates?

First choice holiday village has had some very bad reviews about cases of food poisoning the last few years, especially during June and July. To be honest I wouldn't take a chance on taking my child there.

Have you looked at the discussions, hotel reviews and photos etc on Tripadvisor? Just reading through the numerous posts on the Antalya Province discussion forum will give you loads of information, or you could post your own question as I am sure you will get lots of advice.

I have been to Turkey six times (including to Lykia World twice) and we are returning to the Antalya/Belek region in July and again in October. Personally I think the AI hotels in Turkey represent great value and the DCs love the waterslides and kids facilities and 'free' food. DH and I enjoy happy DCs and 'free' cocktails

I've done a lot of research on the hotels on the Med Coast but obviously it comes down to personal preference versus cost etc. Last year we stayed in the Rixos Premium Hotel in Belek and this year we have booked the Gloria Golf Resort and the Susesi Deluxe Hotel both in Belek. The Gloria Golf is the cheapest of the three - it was refurbished 2/3 years ago and we are staying in a family suite which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Other hotels which get fab reviews for kids facilities are the Royal Wings Hotel in Lara, Royal Dragon Hotel near Side, Cornelia Diamond Hotel in Belek, the Barut Lara, the Limak Lara and the Letoonia Golf Resort. These hotels are all still fairly expensive (although cheaper than Lykia World). There is also a new Lykia World in Antalya which does offer an AI option but like Lykia World in Olu Deniz it is expensive. There are plenty of good cheaper AI options which I haven't listed (Titanic Hotel, Concorde deluxe, Arcadia Hotels, Voyage Belek ... many many more).

In order to get an idea of cost have a look on the Teletext Holidays website or Travel Republic website or, if you prefer, a smaller Travel Agent like Fleetway Travel and check out what is available for your travel dates and the size of your party. Then read the reviews on Tripadvisor and on the Holiday Check website.

We booked through your holidays dot com, 2 weeks all inclusive in August in Kusadasi. My sister also booked a week in Antalya AI for next week. They have really good deals and you can check the hotels agains trip advisor. Went to Mallorca through them last year and it was fab!

I am a bit concerned this year as we are going in August- hope it isn't unbearably hot!
