Akra Antalya

I had a wonderful stay at Akra, made even more special by the exceptional service from Ceren at Reception and Orhun from the Guest Experience team. Both were incredibly warm, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout my stay. When I decided to extend my stay at the very last minute, they went above and beyond to make the process effortless, handling everything with kindness and efficiency. Their dedication to guest satisfaction truly reflects the high standards of Akra. Thank you both for making me feel so welcomed and cared for. You are a real credit to the hotel, and I look forward to returning. Five-star service in every sense.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in: As a custom with hotels in Turkey, service is in the highest level: always smiling staff ready to help with anything at any time during the day. Breakfast was rich with variety and restaurants were some of the best in the city so lunch and dinners never were an issue. Hotel itself and area is very well taken care of: clean, beautiful scenery and green territory. It is calm space with no loud noises despite location being close to one of the busiest roads in the city. Loved our stay and would strongly recommend. Taxi is always nearby and in short walking distance there are bus stops so reaching anywhere in the city is not an issue from this hotel.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. For us, it’s really difficult to find a reason not to give 5 stars. Facilities, in house restaurants, staff, ambiance, decor… All fantastic. We were met each morning to a smile and hello from our lovely room cleaner. The room was spotless and very modern. The Jaz bar plays music till 12/1 in the morning, however we didn’t find this overly loud. There was always a great breakfast selection from fresh omelettes, cooked meats, traditional Turkish dishes and continental options. Never an issue getting a sun bed at the adults only pool (lifeguards were always switched to keep kids out). The pool views were out of this world. The gym was excellent, very spacious and all the equipment you can ask for. Spa was phenomenal and highly recommend the Balinese massage. Location wise, your a 10 min trip in a taxi to the old town (use local taxis and avoid Ubers, they will try and con you!). I’ve also read a few reviews to say there was a good selection of bars and restaurants near by - this is not the case, unless they refer to eating / drinking in other hotels. Your closest eating out places are fast food options. I will say that there is a handful of supermarkets and smaller markets to choose from within 5/10 min walk. Value for money, in my opinion - a bit on the expensive side but was certainly worth every penny. Thank you, Akra, for a wonderful stay.

Stayed here for three nights. The hotel is nicely located facing the Mediterranean Sea. This hotel has all the amenities one would require for a perfect beach holiday. However the hotel does not have a direct beach access and instead they have kept a stair for guests to walk down for a dip into the ocean. Near here there is a sundeck for people to sunbathe and relax. The sunset view from here is beautiful as the sun sets behind the Bey Mountains right across the hotel. The mountains form a dramatic backdrop across the Gulf of Antalya. My comments: • Check in was good. Our rooms were assigned but it took a good 10 minutes. Our bags were delivered to the room fast. • Room facing the ocean was wonderful. King size bed was excellent. • Bathroom was comfortable. Shower was good. • Complimentary bottles of water were very helpful. They kept on giving us complimentary bottles. Please note that not all things you see in the room are free. Do seek a clarification prior to using. . Central cooling system was excellent. . Swimming pools -they have about two or three were excellent. I swam here every single day I was there. • No insects in the room • Furniture was modern. In-room lighting was easy to control with nice curtains and black-out curtains. • Linen was clean including bed sheets and towels. • In- house telephone service was prompt. • Internet speed was good. • Staff were always friendly and prompt to assist. • Balcony provided a fine view of the ocean. • Breakfast was excellent and timings were flexible allowing gusts up to midday to eat. • Dinner was also excellent with a wide variety of choices including desserts, fruits, pastries and a wide choice on the buffet; • Gym is nice but I do recommend that this be kept open 24 hours. • Nice paddle court - this was busy throughout our stay. • Children and toddler room had a good variety of activities. There may be some other amenities that we did not use. However we very much enjoyed our stay and will be back here the next time we come to Antalya. I thank the hotel management for screening the World Cup quarter finals live on the big screen. We had fun over complimentary bottles of water. Munir Daya

Very Disappointing Experience – Not the Hotel It Used to Be; I honestly don’t know where to start. I’ve been staying at this hotel since 2024, and this was my fourth visit. In fact, I met my wife here, so this hotel has always held a special place for us. Unfortunately, our most recent stay was extremely disappointing. After getting married in Antalya, we chose to celebrate our honeymoon by staying here. We kindly requested a complimentary upgrade to a beach-view room with a balcony. The front desk told us there were no rooms available at the time but assured us they would upgrade us later if one became available. We stayed for 18 days, but no one ever followed up or honored that promise. Another frustrating experience was with the breakfast buffet. We paid 1,500 TL per person the first time we had breakfast there. About a week later, we went again and were told the price had increased to 1,750 TL per person. I was shocked by such a significant increase during our stay, and the explanation we received was simply that “the price increased.” Overall, the service was poor. The management team came across as rude, the staff seemed unhappy and unwelcoming, and the entire experience felt like the hotel cared more about making money than taking care of its guests. Sadly, this hotel is no longer the place I remembered. With so many excellent hotels along Lara Beach in Antalya, I cannot recommend staying here. I would encourage travelers to look elsewhere. Shame on the management for allowing the guest experience to decline so much. Ebubekir Tekdemir
