We thought we’d look for something extra special today in the latest of our features on the best hotels with waterpark access – so we’ve elected to go for some 5* luxury with a family theme…
The Gloria Golf Resort sits on a private beach near to the resort of Belek, less than an hour away from the airport in the popular Antalya region.
The hotel provides guests with the option of a wide range of different accommodation, from traditional hotel rooms through to suites and villas that can sleep up to five people in style.
The All Inclusive Plus resort offers dining at a range of different restaurants, which include the main buffet and a selection of special a la carte options – including one that specialises in Italian cuisine. There is also a Sushi Bar.
There is also a snack bar for grabbing a quick bite to eat during the day, as well as a range of bars in which you can grab a drink until late into the evening.
When it comes to relaxing by the pool, you’ll be somewhat spoiled for choice with no fewer than five outdoor pools and three indoor pools – with options also available for children.
The outdoor pools are surrounded by plenty of space in which to relax under the sun whist there is fun for all the family provided by the on-site waterpark – with a variety of slides to cater for all ages.
There is access to three golf courses as well as a fully-equipped gym amongst a wide selection of sporting facilities that are offered – some of which incur an extra charge.
Entertainment is available through the day and into the evening, with plenty to keep children busy thanks to kid’s clubs for those aged from four right through to 17.
Indoor and outdoor play areas are provided.
A stylish spa provides an alternative for those who want to be pampered whilst enjoying their time away in the sun.
