Caretta Beach Hotel

“First Time in Turkey, First Time Just Us Three — And It Was Epic! 🇹🇷☀️”

Our adventure at Caretta Beach Hotel in Alanya was everything I hoped for... and more! It was my first time in Turkey and my first solo trip with my boys.

Our adventure at Caretta Beach Hotel in Alanya was everything I hoped for... and more! It was my first time in Turkey and my first solo trip with my boys. From morning to night, we were splashing through pools, racing down water slides, dancing at mini disco, and enjoying every single show the hotel had lined up. The animation team deserves a standing ovation — they kept both kids and adults entertained with contests, workouts, and non-stop fun. Major shoutout to Recep Erdal the heart of the team! His energy is infectious and his humor lights up the stage. We also adored Fabio, the zumba master and Margarita, queen of aqua fitness. The kids club lady was simply magical. 💃 As for me? Aqua fitness, zumba, relaxing spa moments... total balance. I even won a free facial, which turned into an irresistible full-body massage with hot stones and face treatment. Ramazan, you’re a massage genius! And yes, prices are negotiable — good news for spa lovers. 🍴 Now let’s talk food. Turkish cuisine is delicious and there’s plenty to choose from — meat dishes (chicken, lamb, beef), fish, veggie meals, desserts, salads, fruit, and free drinks and wine. My picky eaters missed classic pizza and nuggets, though those were available at the beach snack bar at certain hours. Afternoon cookie breaks at the café became our daily ritual 😋 🏖️ The beach is rocky, but guess what? My little mineral fan loved it! We brought home a whole bucket of beautiful stones — and no extra luggage fees, thankfully! There's also a hotel photographer doing fun mini sessions for free — editing and prints only cost a few euros. 📶 Wifi is paid but worth it if you want access throughout your stay (multi-device option available). Just a heads-up: to grab the best poolside spot, you need to wake up early. As a mom with two boys, I skipped the evening parties — but sunrise by the sea, quiet meditation, and the comfiest sunbeds totally made up for it. Long story short? We came back sun-kissed and full of joy. We're still dancing to Tarkan’s hits from mini disco and dreaming of our next Turkish escape. Highly recommend Caretta Beach for families who want fun, relaxation, and a warm welcome!

“Relaxing Stay with Small Children”

We stayed at the hotel in June 2025 for 14 days. We were with our 4-year-old son and 20-month-old daughter. The room was nice. We had a great experience, and our vacation was wonderful.

We stayed at the hotel in June 2025 for 14 days. We were with our 4-year-old son and 20-month-old daughter. The room was nice. We had a great experience, and our vacation was wonderful. The hotel is older, but sufficient. Positives: Excellent animators, hats off to your kindness. We will remember you for a long time. Very nice general manager, who took care of everything. The best baklava we've ever eaten. Great room service, cleaned every day, very clean. Negatives: The children's playground could use some investment, it’s quite old. The same goes for the stairs leading to the large slides, I was a bit afraid to walk on them.

“Good hotel”

I consider my vacation a success. The location was very nice. The sea water was clean, the beach was a bit pebbly. There was a wide selection of food, but not much variety. There was seafood and Turkish Day. The best thing was the animators team. Big applause and respect for them for having a great time. They provided a lot of laughter and fun. They were very nice. The bartenders and staff were also very polite. The only downside was the hotel's cleanliness. The floors and bathrooms weren't very clean. The rooms on the first floor, facing the back, were awful, smelling of smoke and fumes. I think it's a great hotel by any standard. The weather and service made up for the inconvenience.

“Amazing staff and pool fun offset by dated facilities”

We had a mixed experience at this hotel. The property is quite old-fashioned and in need of a serious update—particularly the gym, which was unusable due to a strong chemical odor. Our initial room setup lacked proper bedding and the towels felt very worn. However, when I complained about the itchy linens, the staff did resolve it by providing a duvet. ​What truly saved the holiday was the staff. Osmen at reception is an absolute star—kind, experienced, and professional. The bar and waiting staff are leaders in service, and the animation crew created a fantastic, inclusive vibe. ​Pros: * Excellent gluten-free options (GF bread and plenty of fresh herbs/veggies). ​Fun pool and slides. ​Spacious, nicely decorated bedroom and lovely balcony. ​Cons: Very limited alcohol range ​Dated bathrooms and old linens. ​Inconsistent service—while most were great, one young staff member was very dismissive when we panicked over a missed transfer, telling us "it's not my problem." ​General "unbothered" attitude in the Alayna area unless they are selling something.
