Labranda Alantur Resort

Fantastic atmosphere and clean rooms and the staffs are friendly, the evening shows are amazing but the buffet is not good that what I expected same food and dessert everyday.

Stayed here 2 weeks as part of a package holiday with Jet2. The hotel itself is beautiful and has lots of activities throughout the day, along with amazing access to the beach front. Hotel rooms were clean and well put together. Very good hotel for pickup for activities in the local area, of which there is so much to do. Food was good but did get somewhat repetitive after 2 weeks. Bars are open from morning to evening and have a wide selection of drinks. When I stayed it didn't seem to crowded and there was plenty of availability for sunbeds and few queues for food. Only drawback I did face was that the majority of the staff do not speak English and cater to Russian/German, if you are a native English speaker be prepared to use German to speak to the staff however those that did were super reliable and kind to be around

Labranda hotel, Alanya, Very nice hotel, good location, right on the beach with beautiful views of Alanya city and the mountains. The grounds were beautiful, trees, ponds, fountains, flowers. The hotel room was basic but comfortable. We had a ground floor, garden bungalow room. It was great and I recommend these rooms. We were seconds from everything, the pools, the restaurant, the beach. We had a nice patio and were able to use the patio door to access the room which was very convenient. The facilities were good, lovely pools, the water slides were fun. We used the gym which is fairly well equipped. There is a doctor on site, we did visit the doctor. It was 250euro. He was very nice and helpful. There were a few shops selling clothes, souvenirs, snacks, shoes, bags etc I had a lovely massage and treatment in the spa, however I was pressured to purchase a further package of massages while still on the massage table. This was not appreciated and actually put me off getting another massage, which I had been considering. However the ladies who provided the massage and treatment were amazing. The food was only ok. There was always a lot of variety but nothing very tasty. If you missed the restaurant opening times then you were out of luck. There were periods of time when no food was available. We had a nice Turkish meal in the A la carte restaurant on our last night. There were lots of activities going on throughout the day. We didn’t have children with us but there were lots of families staying at the hotel and there seemed to be lots of activities for children. We watched the night time entertainment a couple of times and it was ok. We were there from 20-30 June and our observation was that the hotel was definitely not full. It seemed quiet compared to other all inclusive places we’ve stayed. The guests were a mixture of families and adult groups. People seemed to be mainly from Turkey, Russia, and Britain. I believe tourism is suffering in Turkey due to the uncertainly in the middle east. This is a pity because Turkey is a beautiful country. We’ve visited several times and would definitely return. . Overall we really liked the Labranda hotel.

We have just got home from our 10 night holiday in Türkiye at Labranda Alantur. I wanted to write an honest review as it was our first all inclusive experience as a married couple. The hotel/grounds/beach front/pools are beautiful, very clean, well kept and all areas are nicely presented. We booked a bungalow room, which was clean, well laid out and had all the amenities we would need for our stay. The cleaners also did a fabulous job of our room every day. And if you leave a little tip for their hard work they go above and beyond and leave you a little surprise in your room daily. Which was very sweet. You are likely to be blessed and see the stray cats and kittens roaming around the hotel. Very adorable and they are well looked after by the hotel. At one point we even saw a vet there attending to a sick cat. As an animal lover this was good to see. The staff at the bars were always very attentive, leaving their station to come and ask if you’d like a refill, whether you were at the pool or the beach seating area. Osman from Neptune Pool Bar & Deniz from Poseidon Pool Bar are great. Welcoming, fun and speak good English. The Cocktails, iced coffees & pool bar snacks are fantastic. Which include things like burgers, chips, chicken nuggets, salad, pasta, pizza, hotdogs, fruit & delicious watermelon slices. (At times these were very much needed I’ll explain more about this later in my review) Daily there is also a lady who makes delicious cheese Turkish gozleme breads by the main pool. They are also a great added bonus. Now I’ll get on to the main restaurant. Firstly, it’s best to take no notice of the boards outside the main restaurant that tell you there is a themed cuisine night. For example, we had Italian night, Turkish night, Seafood night & Mexican night advertised on their boards whilst we were there. Also there was international night (which I presume is all cuisines available) on the alternate nights. There was never much of a change to what we had every night. Italian had 1 extra pasta dish, however pasta is every night. Seafood night they advertised langoustines, sushi & lobster on their Facebook page on the day. This wasn’t true. There was no seafood. Which really disappointed us. Mexican night had no Mexican food. No fahitas or tacos. Just the same available as every single night. The waiting staff were also clueless as to why it was advertised on the boards and on Facebook but not available in the restaurant. Unfortunately the main restaurant lets the whole resort down in our eyes. For a 5 star resort we were expecting more from it. Other guests also expressed the same to us saying they’d stayed in 3 star resorts all inclusive and had better food than what was available at Labranda Alantur. The point of doing all inclusive really is about the food and drink that’s available to you. So it was a real disappointment. We ventured out a few nights to restaurants nearby to eat as we couldn’t stomach the same food every night. It’s a big shame. As I’ve said before the rest of the resort is great, and enjoyable. The adult only pool is perfect for couples without children wanting a more peaceful experience. However please be aware you will be hassled daily to buy a tattoo or a massage. Again quite frustrating. Especially at what they call a relaxation pool. But you get past that once you’ve mastered your best technique at saying no forcefully. The hotel is situated quite far away from the airport so if you are getting a shuttle be prepared for a 4 hour plus journey. You drop off everyone along the way and you are the last drop off. Usually very late at night (if flying from the UK/europe) and the only food available after 11pm is soup. We were also told that room service even though advertised as 24hr is Infact not available after 11pm. So after a long travel day food is extremely limited. If you book any excursions they are also very long travel to the excursion from the hotel. Making an excursion that is advertised at 3 hours a 6-7 hour excursion due to the travel. All in all we had a great time. But sadly the food did let us down and we were thankful for burgers, chips and chicken nuggets from the pool bar. Not sure if that should be the case at a 5 star resort, and has left a bad taste in our mouths. Excuse the pun.

Its a nice sized hotel and some of the staff have been very helpful. The location is right on the beach which is very nice and the pools are nice for the kids. The animation team were good and Beyza was very nice
