"An Amazing Stay at Concorde De Luxe Resort – Even with an 8-Month-Old Baby!
When we booked our trip and looked at Concorde De Luxe Resort, we weren’t entirely sure whether it would be the right fit for us, as we were travelling with our 8-month-old baby. The hotel looks so elegant and luxurious in the pictures that we wondered whether it would be suitable for a family with a little one.
Before travelling, I had a LOT of practical questions, and the hotel was more than happy to answer every single one of them. And trust me, there were quite a few! 😅
We were able to reserve a baby cot well in advance, which was a great start. It was also reassuring to know that the hotel had the facilities we needed to prepare our son’s formula and bottles, that we were welcome to use the private cabanas with our baby, and that we could enjoy drinks with ice without worrying. Those are just a few examples of the things I wanted to clarify before our trip.
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel had also provided some additional baby essentials, including sheets, a pillow, a heavy blanket and baby bath products.
That said, if you’re anything like me and prefer to use specific products or simply bring your own baby’s things, I’d recommend packing them from home.
My point is that the hotel genuinely wants to make travelling with a baby as easy and stress-free as possible. And that really showed throughout our stay.
We had a room on the top floor, at one end of the hotel. This gave us some peace of mind, as we felt less worried about disturbing other guests if our baby became upset.
Although we booked a standard room rather than a large suite, there was still plenty of space for all our belongings, including our suitcases and stroller, as well as enough room for our son to play on the floor. The room also had wooden flooring, which we personally found more hygienic than carpet, especially with a baby crawling around. 🧼😉
One little tip for parents: keep your baby on the wooden floor rather than letting them crawl around the bathroom or balcony, as those areas have tiled floors. 😊
The restaurant and food
The restaurant had highchairs that were cleaned and prepared for the next little guest before each meal, which we really appreciated.
There was also a dedicated children’s section in the restaurant. So, if your baby isn’t particularly interested in eating the potato you carefully thought they would love, at least the entire restaurant doesn’t have to witness the drama! 😅
Even when the restaurant was really busy, the noise level was manageable, and we never had to wait in long queues for food. The staff were professional and incredibly efficient at keeping the food stocked, clearing tables and looking after guests, all at the same time.
There was a huge variety of food available. One thing worth mentioning for fellow European guests is that pork isn’t served, but there are plenty of other options and alternatives to choose from.
There seemed to be some porridge available for babies, but unfortunately, our son couldn’t have it due to his milk allergy, so we had to find alternatives. Luckily, the selection was so extensive that there was also a vegan and gluten-free section where we could find things for him to eat alongside his formula. 😊
A special mention goes to Tayfun, who works in both the main restaurant and the à la carte restaurants. He provided a level of service that went above and beyond anything we could have expected.
One evening, our son was awake and upset, and we didn’t want to disturb the other guests. Tayfun kindly arranged for our food to be delivered to our room instead.
It might sound like a small thing, but when you’re travelling with a baby, gestures like that make a HUGE difference.
Guest Relations – they really do go above and beyond!
Next up is the Guest Relations team in the lobby.
They really can help you with almost anything. Whether you need extra water delivered to your room to prepare formula bottles, advice on where to go in Antalya, or, most importantly for us, help with booking a cabana, they’re there to help.
A very special thank you to Gülendam from Guest Relations, who helped us on several occasions with all of the above, always making us feel welcome rather than as though we were being a nuisance.
Whenever something wasn’t quite as we had expected, she helped us find a solution. Her level of service was honestly unlike anything I’ve experienced at other hotels. She made us feel genuinely looked after, and we are so grateful for that. 😘
We’d also like to thank one of the regular members of the Beach Team, who helped us several times while we were relaxing with our son in the beach pavilions.
He was discreet, professional and always one step ahead. When we ran out of our favourite drinks, he replaced them without us even having to ask. When our son fell asleep, he made sure to keep things quiet.
Once again, these little details made the whole experience so much more relaxing as a family.
Our verdict
All in all, we had an amazing experience at Concorde De Luxe Resort in Antalya.
I’m honestly not sure we would receive the same level of service when travelling with a baby at other hotels. Every member of staff we encountered made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to help us, without ever making us feel troublesome or difficult.
That was actually one of the things we had been a little nervous about before travelling. We didn’t want to be that family with a baby who disturbed everyone or needed too much help. Instead, we felt genuinely welcome, and the staff made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our holiday together.
Pro tip: BOOK THE CABANAS!!!!
Seriously. Just factor them into your holiday budget right from the start. 🤩😁
They will become your and your baby’s best friends!
No slippery tiles around the pool, less noise, less stress, food and drinks delivered straight to you, and the freedom to stay close to your baby while keeping an eye on them.
There’s also space for your little one to crawl around, play, eat and sleep. And while your baby enjoys their own little space, mum and dad can relax in the shade or soak up the sun just outside.
What’s not to love?
For us, the cabanas made such a difference to how relaxed and enjoyable our holiday was. If you’re travelling with a baby, I honestly can’t recommend them enough.
A huge thank you to the entire team at Concorde De Luxe Resort for making our family holiday so special.
Big thanks from Denmark! 🇩🇰❤️
