We did a family trip within the scope of a spring holiday between 27th and 31th of March at Rixos premium Tekirova. It was a great holiday full of surprises and good moments which I will summarize them in categories below: One day prior to the arrival I was added to a whatsapp group by the guest relations office of the hotel. This was a surprise for me that the hotel cares my preparation and pre arrival issues for my trip and I could start already communication regarding our holiday with the guest relations office which was very valuable for me. After getting some useful info about the hotel we started our trip towards the hotel the next day. Rixos tekirova is located in an exceptional location of Antalya below Tahtalı Mountain which you can always feel the winter and see the peak of the mountain seems like to have a white hat and while looking at the snow at the top of the mountain you have the privilige to swim in the heated pool in the Middle of March. Hotel has a very warm and friendly atmosphere including guest from all around the world. I could guess that from several locations tourists have been gathered to enjoy their holiday. But I think the majority of the hotel guests were belonging to Russian speaking countries or Baltic Area. Before describing rooms quality lets talk about the first impression at the hotel which always belong to the front office. The hotel has a very helpful and friendly front office who try to do your check in within the shortest time with assistance of your guest relations staff. From the first minute they tried to do the procedure very quickly and easy. There is no need to rush to wait in the reception desk since you can have your tea or coffee at the lobby bar while front desk is arranging your room. We stayed in a family room which included two seperate rooms each including its toilet and Bathroom. Rooms were spacious and clean both having a nice balcony looking at the sea and the mountain in front of it. Room facilities were enough including tea and coffee machines specially for guests who love capsule coffees. Minibar of the hotel was filled with daily beverages including Efes Beer. There were enough towels at the room but we had to ask for two more bathrobes for the second room. Acoustic of the rooms were perfect and we did not hear any noise from the neighbors. Hotel area has a lot of amenities including several bars and coffee shops and pattiseries. There is a starbucks at the seaside of the hotel serving different kinds of cold and hot beverages but the problem with the starbucks is the long line and huge waiting time for a single cup of coffee or tea. Therefore from the second day I did not use it due to the waste of time. I think hotel management can help the speed of service at this area better. Bars of the hotel at several locations of the facility were perfect serving various types of local and import alchoholic and non alchoholic drinks. You can find almost all famous brands for your beverages there. Moreover the sweets or nuts coming with these beverages give another beautiful taste to their servings. Vista bar at the sea side is perfect also serving Turkish coffee and different beverages. Thanks for the F and B Manager, who I saw him a lot of times at the restaurant and public areas but I didnt read his name on the card. Restaurants of the hotel had a delicious food serving variety of food specially seafood and red meat which you can rarely find good ones in many hotels. We tried Fish A la carte restaurant in a rainy day which was located outside the main building. Firstly thanks to the buggy guys who took us in that rainy day to the restaurant with the buggy and later we had a great meal inside. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so friendly and lovely. Buggy guys helped us to go back to the hotel the same way we had gone due to the heavy rain. Fish was perfect and Mezes and appetizers were incredible. Thanks for the management of Mermaid restaurant. Spa of the hotel was perfect consisting of several parts. There were 2 different dry saunas with different heat degrees. One Steam room and a nice Turkish bath. Despite a lot of guests there you could find enough space and towels and facilities for your rest. The only negative thing about the SPA area was the swimming pool which had a heavy smell of CL for cleaning the water. I think that smell was more than enough despite this material is necessary for cleaning the pool water. From the entrance of the hotel you could feel this heavy smell. Lifeguards were very attentive and helpful. The hotel had a nice heated pool outside giving you the chance to be able to swim in the middle of March outside. The water was not cold and well adjusted having a very nice bar beside serving you beverages. Sports bar and lobby bar were the locations which you could spend time at nights. Specially there were nice live bands every night in the sports bar performing different types of music, at the same time bar team of the sports bar serving you by doing nice shows playing with bottles and try to entertain you. I think that entertainment team of the hotel needs to be more pro active. Except some dart games and some actions at the sports bar I did not feel their presence inside the hotel. This should be improved. Animation team can greet guests at the entrance of the main restaurant every night and try to introduce the night show to them and invite them to join the party. This did not happen at all. As the last point I want to express a very important sentence : I believe that the dream team for this hotel in many positions has been created. From the guest relations to the people working at the bars, from the F and B managers to the staff working in main restaurants, all and all are doing their best to make your holiday better and make you feel different. It is very difficult for hotels to have a dream team but Rixos Tekirova now has it. Special thanks to the guest relations office Ms Merve Çetin and Yağmur and Chief Çağrı. Special thanks to the great waitress Cansel with her beautiful smiling face for her drinks, F&B manager and finally hotel Manager. Regards, Arshiya Abadkon

“Good hotel apart from food quality.”

Let's start by saying we booked with Tui and was sure we had booked the Rixos in Belek , and once here Tui wanted another £3000 to change the hotel when the difference in holiday price was just £200!!

Let's start by saying we booked with Tui and was sure we had booked the Rixos in Belek , and once here Tui wanted another £3000 to change the hotel when the difference in holiday price was just £200!! Must have been my error as I had not realised there was 2 Rixos Premier in Antalya. The journey was a good hour and half and after an early flight (6am) we made it to the hotel at about 5pm. THE GOOD We had a family suite and the room had two bedrooms , 2 bathrooms and fantastic sea views. To be fair it was excellent and gave us and the children some privacy. The hotel itself is huge and has something for everyone , especially the children. The kids centre is new , with a play centre room, arts and crafts, climbing centre and outside is kids football pitches. Climbing walls and a water park (although this was closed at the beginning of April!) The service was excellent in the restaurants and the bars. They have a heated swimming pool both inside and outside , which was needed given the weather. They have a Starbucks, great ice cream parlour. Hairdressers, shops and so many different bars. The sunbeds around the pool are superb and really comfortable. THE BAD The quality of food ranged from being edible to being damn right awful. They have one restaurant which is called Turquoise and that is a buffet. Plenty of choice and variety, however, it was warm at best. You have to download the Lumi app to book the A la Carte. It opens daily at 10am and if you have not booked by 10.05 hard luck! We had a meal in the Italian and to say it was awful would be an understatement. Entrecote steak " it come as it comes no medium or rare!" It was so tough it was inedible so we left it and headed back to buffet. The food was at best an average 3 star definitely not 5 star. There was also a lot that was not open and there was a lot of work going on getting it ready for the summer season. I am sure that it will look awesome when it is all open. We went on a trip to Antalya with Tui , £10 and the guide was superb and it was a great experience. Summary Its a good hotel, never 5 star (mainly because of the food) but good nonetheless plenty for kids of all ages to do and during the summer I am sure it would be better still. Will we return ? Probably not! But we would give the Belek Rixos a try. Its clean and very well maintained.
