"October 25 - Family and I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The food and drink was everywhere — you’re never short of options, and you certainly won’t go hungry. At times it felt almost relentless, with so much on offer, but that’s part of the experience. Like any buffet, things can start to feel a bit repetitive after a few days, but the outdoor barbecue, pizza oven, and chicken stations added a nice change of pace. They even bring out the cakes and ice-cream during the afternoon. The pools were spotless, the beach was clean and relaxing, and the facilities were exactly what you'd hope for. The staff were genuinely amazing — friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Mustapha in Guest Relations was excellent and we had many a conversation about the world and football. There are a few shops nearby, though they’re on the expensive side. Spa onsite is good and they have a beautiful Turkish Bath. Entertainment is good - was fortunate to stay for the Halloween party with amazing decor and snacks. Overall, it was a brilliant trip that left me feeling well looked after and thoroughly spoiled (and 4Kg heavier!)"

"Wow. Where do I start?! We have just returned from an incredible 2 week stay and we already can’t wait to return. I have visited this hotel with my family numerous times over the years and it never ever disappoints. The refurbishments and upgrades since my last visit in 2019 just made the hotel even more incredible. We booked for both the pool and pier cabanas during our stay and could not recommend them enough. The sea/mountain view from the pier cabana is truly so beautiful, I would highly recommend for during your stay! The Turkish and Italian a la carte restaurants were also incredible, the food and service amazing as always, and it was a lovely touch to have flowers and decorations on the tables for our honeymoon package stay. I cannot thank Mustafa enough for organising our stay so thoughtfully and beautifully, he organised our a la carte and cabana bookings, as well as requesting an upgrade for us to one of the honeymoon suites to make our stay even more memorable for our anniversary. We are truly so grateful for the lengths he went to in order to make our stay unforgettable. Every member of staff we walked past were so polite and couldn’t do more for you - whether it be the cleaners, entertainment team, waiters, or guest relation staff; you feel at home right from day 1. I’ve never visited a hotel with so much choice for an all inclusive buffet, with show cooking and freshly prepared fruit, salad, omelettes, and special dishes each night, the choice and variety is beyond amazing for all 3 meals of the day. We especially loved the pasta house and pizza tent for lunch. The new coffee shop by the pool is also a lovely touch, as well as the fridges constantly stocked with water bottles that you can just take as you go! Special shout out too to the waiter on roller skates around the pool delivering drinks right to you! For both kids and adults the entertainment has such a great variety, with activities all through the day and live music most evenings, there’s always so much to do. We also loved the quieter adults-only pool for the days we fancied a little bit of quiet/chill time. This will forever be my favourite hotel to visit and i genuinely couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you so much again to Mustafa for making our stay truly unforgettable and so perfect from start to finish. We will absolutely be returning again in the future."

"Liberty Lara The good: Short transfer time from Antalya airport - under 30 minutes by taxi. The friendly staff are brilliant - and great with kids. One did a drawing for our grandson and knew him by name. The beach is right in front of the large hotel pool areas. A mix of pools - for kids, mixed and adult only. Outside pools are not heated. Good sized indoor heated pool. Decent gym (very warm). Plenty watersports (extra charge). The food is exceptional - including very healthy and vegetarian options. Wide range of restaurants. The house wines - red, rosé and white are all very drinkable. Efes lager on tap. Other drinks are not well known international brands - despite international brand bottles behind the bars. The room, hotel and common areas were clean. Good selection of bathroom toiletries. Plenty pals for our 3 year old grandson. This hotel is aimed at families. The beds were very comfortable. Medium to firm. The air con worked well. Rooms comfy enough - not quite Premier Inn standard - maybe other more expensive bedrooms are better? Rooms have black out curtains. Free mini bar. Topped up daily. Plenty sports for young and old alike - including a mini football pitch. The not so good: Rooms are organised in rows like a prison, built around common reception area - so until midnight there's some noise from below. The hotel looks like it was built in the 1990s - so it is now a bit dated looking (outside and in) in certain areas. Bathroom bath had dirty grout. The beach either side of the hotel suffers from plastic pollution - the actual hotel beach is kept clean. If you are looking for clear blue sea with great visibility - look elsewhere - the water is murky. No mini disco on a Sunday evening disappoints an awful lot of children - who enjoy it and expect it. This is a big error! Easily fixed! I needed a cream for itchy mosquito bites. There is a 'nurse' onsite. She said I should consult the doctor at a fee of €145. I asked her where the nearest pharmacy was - she said she did not know! There are actually 3 pharmacies very near the hotel. Maybe she should learn this - otherwise what is the point of the 'nurse'? Onsite car rental was ok - a battered old Ford cargo van - only needed a simple car for half a day to visit the excellent Greco-Roman ruins at Aspendos (best preserved amphitheatre in the world) and the nearby Roman city ruins at Perge (around 15km east of Antalya city centre). If you have stayed in a real 5 star hotel - you will know this one is really a UK 3.5 star hotel. Service wise it is a 4 star. Staff are excellent. Food was excellent. Summary This is a well-oiled machine of an all-inclusive hotel. Very suited to families. The surrounding area is not at all pretty - much concrete - but there is no big reason to leave the resort."
