Royal Holiday Palace

A dated hotel with great staff but poor chefs and DJ. The rooms are comfortable and large but like most of the hotel, dated. It has a very firm mattress that will leave you a little stiff in the morning and a TV that's so old it might as well not work. That being said the rooms are well air conditioned with a very quiet unit and the rooms are well noise insulated with us being completely unaware if we had neighbors or not. The shower is also fantastic. The all inclusive experience is let down by the fact that the food is really poor. There are some exceptions like the lunchtime kebabs but on the whole you will be disappointed. It's bad enough that we was put off paying for the option extra restaurants because we didn't want to pay extra for what seemed like inevitable poor food, even though they should really be included like at other all inclusive resorts. The pools is nice but utterly ruined by the constant obnoxiously loud music, the place is massive but you cannot escape the noise even on the far side. It is so loud that even with noise canceling headphones you are still bothered by it, having a conversation with your partner in the sun lounger next to you is almost impossible. The waterslides are good fun but the other hotels in the surrounding area seem to have larger versions. The seas a little murky and not very inviting however they do a good job in providing shade on the beachfront. I must add that all of the staff (including entertainment team screaming over the poolside mic) are very welcoming and friendly. Great customer service, especially highlighted by being given towels and shower access after checking out but with a late airport departure. A mention should be made for the ground and cleaning staff. The place is immaculate, the cleanliness or the whole complex is fantastic. We paid a fraction of the advertised price as we booked last minute and slightly off season with the hotel maybe half full from our guess. We felt like we just about got our money's worth at this reduced price but would be very disappointed if we had paid the full amount. We are lucky to have stayed in hotels all over the world and unfortunately this one was short of our expectations especially as a supposed 5 star resort. We wouldn't return and would advise others to try slightly more modern looking hotels in the same area if they are set on Antalya.

Firstly I would like to say that the hotel is really lovely. The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you, in fact they work so hard and are very proud of their hotel. Sadly I had a really bad experience in terms of dealing with a German guest/ family. Before I go a head I would like to express this is not a complaint about all the German guests, and this is an isolated incident to one particular family. My son is nine years old and autistic, due to him being extremely vulnerable I still take him in the female toilet because he is scared to go alone in the men’s. When I say he comes in with me, I would to stress that if the toilet is full we would check first it’s ok for him to enter, or we would more than happily wait outside until it’s empty. Sadly on this occasion we entered the toilet and the German lady and her daughter started screaming in my sons face you shouldn’t be in here!! Now the English wasn’t good, but good enough to insult us and scare the hell out of him. This vile lady then went to go outside in the seating area to tell all her family who then all felt the need to point and GLARE at him. My son was traumatised!! And thank god it didn’t cause a massive autistic meltdown! We didn’t intentionally go in there and are always respectful of anyone in there toilet! To some this might sound very trivial, but I would never shout at anyone’s children, and anyone with a child with additional needs will totally feel how upsetting this. What was really sad was even at breakfast and dinner the same family continued to point and stare at my son, which lead me to going to guest relations. Guest relations were absolutely fantastic and extremely kind and understanding. I don’t know her name but she was in the office at the back with dark hair, she really understood autism and how hard it is to be away from home. She really was lovely!! I don’t know the reception team names but they was really good too. Turkey really love children and I appreciate the kindness they showed. I enjoyed the holiday, and the hotel was absolutely stunning, but sadly I wouldn’t return because I think travelling with a child with additional needs, it would be easier to find a hotel more British based clientele due to them understanding probably more.

Going home tomorrow from a wonderful time at this fabulous hotel. The hotel itself is stunning, the public rooms are gorgeous with the biggest chandeliers I've ever seen! Food is plentiful and excellent. What really makes things special is the attentive service from the staff at this hotel. They truly looked after us the whole stay. We have had a lovely holiday and hope to come back soon. Thankyou to all the wonderful staff at this gorgeous hotel. You deserve a great review!

5 stars does not do this hotel enough justice. Incredible hotel and holiday made all the better by the incredible and welcoming staff. They could not have done more for me and my family. They have truly looked after us and made our stay and our short Easter break something to remember forever. Special mention to Recep and ‘Speedy’. 2 amazing people who really made our holiday for our 2 young children (6 & 9). I would book this hotel again. No hesitation. We’ll be back!
