Delphin Palace Hotel, Antalya

This is an amazing hotel ! My boyriend, 6 yr old daughter and I stayed here for 2 weeks in September and we were spoilt rotten. This was by far the best holiday we have ever been on.
The lobby is absolutely breathtaking, with an enourmous chandelier forming the centerpiece. We spent many evenings sat here sipping champagne(yummy!),
Our room was a standard, but we were very impressed by the size- plenty of room for all 3 of us, including ...

This is an amazing hotel ! My boyriend, 6 yr old daughter and I stayed here for 2 weeks in September and we were spoilt rotten. This was by far the best holiday we have ever been on.
The lobby is absolutely breathtaking, with an enourmous chandelier forming the centerpiece. We spent many evenings sat here sipping champagne(yummy!),
Our room was a standard, but we were very impressed by the size- plenty of room for all 3 of us, including a proper bed for my daughter. Our minibar was restocked daily with water, beer, soft drinks peanuts and chocolate and we also had fresh fruit most days.Our balcony was an ample size and the air conditionong worked a treat!!
The main pool was huge-I think the hotel was full, but it often felt we were the only ones swimming ! There is one main pool, a relax pool, a childrens pool with slides and a pool for the big waterslides (which we all had great fun on).
The food was fantastic, the main buffet always had loads to choose from ,too much to list. Lunch was also seved in the outside turkish restaurant, which also had a good selection of food. We had some bread made in front of us which was delicious.Snacks were in abundance, they are served at various times of the day- the chefs come out and set up little stalls serving waffles, kebabs, jacket potatoes and there are also self service hot dogs, toasties, chicken wings and chips. We found the service in the reataurants to be mostly very good. Sometimes we were kept waiting for drinks , but only when it was obviously busy. We loved the option of the a la carte restaurants(we visited the French, Seafood and the Mezican and found them very good), although the evening meals in the buffet ,with themed evenings and show cooking ,were excellent.Please be warned you will not find bacon and sausages at breakfast, although there is such a huge choice we did not find this to be a problem.
Drinks really are all inclusive. fresh orange juice, spirits, beer, lager, wine( white, red and rose all v good), soft drinks, slush puppes, cocktails. I even has a cocktail in a melon on the Moonlight bar on the jetty which was amazing! There are men who go round the poolside serving ice cold drinks, even champagne,nd fresh watermelon and apples and carrots, which they peel and chop for you.
My daughter also really enjoyed the funfair, which comes on at night . there is a big wheel, train, bumper cars, a boat and also candyfloss and popcorn if you want.
We did not really take part in the activities ,but there was lots going on if you wanted it= pool games, aqua aerobics, step aerobics, diving, etc
My daughter enjoed thekids club,but ther were lots of German and Russian children so she felt a little outnumbered. This hotel is full of Germans and Russians, although this did not cause us any problems.
The beach was good, the water was like a warm bath and you had jetskis banana boats etc for a charge, which we enjoyed.
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday. we had read lots of reviews before we went and had very high expectations. I was worried that these would not be met, but they were by far exceeded, and I am not easily pleased !! We would return to this hotel in a flash.
