Delphin Deluxe

On the last evening, we had to put up with music that was way too loud during the gala evening. And during our stay, we were bothered by a merchant. The outside pools were cold. From the food point of view: The pasta was overcooked. The quality of the food varied. This hotel is far from the airport. Pros: The choice of food is great. Most employees do their best. The bedding is comfortable and the room very clean. In short, this hotel is not up to its category.

Firstly my children have coeliac disease and I couldn’t find any reviews to see if they cater for it so I was really worried but they gave me a note to give to the staff when we went in the restaurant . Most staff didn’t have a clue what was gluten free and said different things to others . I quickly learnt that I needed to ask for the head chef whenever I wanted to know what was gluten free. The gluten free section was rubbish and the kids never had anything from there but there was always plenty of meat that was available that was gluten free. Chicken, turkey , beef , donner meat and they always cooked some chips for the kids. They also made them pasta. The head chef took me round and showed me all the things they could have. There was only one dessert that was gluten free that they would go and get for them , like a frozen brownie type thing. My daughter at it as it came and said it was like a brownie ice cream and my son preferred to wait for it to go a bit warmer. The ice cream wasn’t gluten free unfortunately and when I asked at the ice cream hut near the pool they said none were gluten free but I used a translator to translate the ingredients and did some google research and found out the twister ocean ice lolly is gluten free so the kids were happy. The hotel itself was lovely - very clean , big variety of lovely food. Entertainment was really good, always something going on , sometimes 2 things at once. Candyland , the man in the pool on the thing that goes in the air and foam party were big highlights Photos - I’d recommend a photo shoot by the beach with the hotel photographer, he was lovely and reasonable prices (will budge on prices) - the pictures were amazing , memories to treasure! Hope to return to this hotel at some point in the future

I would like to thank the hotel staff, manager Svetlana and guest relation chef Emir for resolving problems very quickly and professionally. To the maids, for their smiles and perfect cleanliness in the room. To the restaurant waiters for the quick service. To the bartenders for the delicious drinks. To the photographer for his professionalism and very beautiful photos To the singers for the fun evenings and beautiful voices! And to all the hotel staff for their smiles! See you soon! ❤️

A really fabulous experience here at the Delphin Deluxe. We travelled as a family of 8 from England, 3 generations and kids aged 7 & 5, and all agree it is almost a faultless hotel. We came at the end of the season and found it to be a much quieter experience than in the height of summer - the final day, all the hotel guests were outnumbered by staff which actually was a great experience! The weather was excellent this time of year (Oct half term) and the pools and sea were plenty warm enough. There is also an outdoor heated pool and very large indoor pool which our children preferred. The kids slides and the older kids/adult slides were fantastic, a really great addition. The beach and beach bar have a very cool vibe, we would agree with many comments saying bring beach shoes as it is stoney, but easily accessible and has a pontoon to walk in from/jump off. The food was really exceptional for an all inclusive, so much on offer and really high quality. One of our party had food intolerances and yet still had lots of options. So many chefs walking round and people to assist when needed. The food has been a real highlight. Worth noting as well how many bars and kiosks are dotted around for you to get drinks & snacks. Certainly stands out. The entertainment has been of a very high standard, especially during the evening which we took advantage of most nights. Great for families of wide ranging ages. Plenty happening during the day by the pool too, including shows in the middle of the afternoon, but equally easy to have a relaxing time away from the noise. The rooms were of a good quality and mini bar re-stocked daily. We noted certain comments about dated decor, but actually found the interior design to be extremely clean and high quality. Would recommend upgrading to a sea view, you get a beautiful sunset and further away from the main road. A few tips: The hotel runs a free shuttle service to Alanya and Side, and we would recommend the latter. Side which was a much more authentic and historical experience of Turkey with excellent shops. The transfer from the airport takes quite some time, so upgrade to a private transfer which are good value for money. If English is your first language, you are by far in the minority here. Brits are perhaps spoiled by European destinations speaking English, so be aware that communication is a little trickier. That being said, it was never a real problem, and nice to experience something different. Overall, a really fab experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to people in the future. A very impressive hotel & great holiday.

I’ve got to say, it’s pretty awesome. Very clean, waiting staff so polite and helpful, kids club just amazing, the lovely staff there would come by the pool to see if our children wanted to do art etc. they weren’t in there long but loved it when they did. Room was a little noisy as had a road view but I still slept. The Al La Carte was delicious, food choices at buffet amazing. Pools so clean. Beach is stones, take beach shoes. The only annoyance is the wine for me was undrinkable, the White, Rose and Red in my opinion all tasted of vinegar, would be great if they could source some nice dry wine, the G&T is better on the beach and lobby bar, not sure if they use different spirits? Sunbeds a plenty, entertainment was great, delicious food and good quality. Honestly cannot fault it. A great hotel and we see why everyone loves it. I’m usually very cynical but this place is pretty great.
