Mukarnas Spa & Resort - All Inclusive

“Perfect place for your holiday”

A great place for a vacation with friends or family. Very good and polite staff. Very tasty food. And a great garden and nature 🌞 The many sports activities during the day as well as the evening program of the amphitheater are prerequisites for an amazing vacation... 🥳 I recommend 100 percent 😃

“Really good, shame about the area”

This review is based on my experience as a British family. .. Flew from Liverpool into Antalya which was straight forward and a good flight. I will always pay extra for liverpool instead of Manchester as its a much easier experience. .. Arrived at Mukarnas midday April 13th 2024, the checkin was a little frustrating. Instead off dealing with each customer they tried to deal with 5 different families in one go. The Concierge grabbed our wrists to put the all inclusive bands on us which we found aggressive. A calmer manner and a 'please can I put this on' would've made the first experience more friendly. We upgraded our rooms x2 for the sea view paying 250 euros extra for the upgrade. .. The room was clean and spacious with a free mini bar ( no alcohol ). This is topped up everyday, however on occasion we had to chase the maids to add additional water too the fridge even though we left the sign out for the room to be cleaned and replenished. The shower was brilliant however they politely remind you to not flush toilet roll or lady pads. .... The staff here apart from the hiccups are exceptional. From bar staff to restaurant, guest services and entertainment team are 5 star hands down. Yusuf, Osman, Serhat are fantastic and the hotel night shows are on point and some of the best we've seen. We loved Ahmet (pool bar) and Seyit (restaurant) these two are class and speak multiple languages. They literally went above and beyond and we as a family will never forget them. The food... Big one There is alot of choice, however for us Brits it becomes limited depending on how fussy you are. Although extensive some of the labelling is frustrating. One example is 'meat casserole' they do use leftovers into the next day on occasions including soups.. They also have a kids area but it is very repetitive - onion rings - chips - turkey burgers etc.. The deserts we found very greasy (deep fried) or buttery. Unfortunately there wasn't one desert we enjoyed. They do not serve bacon or normal sausages. As a Muslim country I guess that's normal but Marmaris do have these options so found it strange. Bear in mind the hotel is predominantly polish and central Europe with the odd brits about. I'm assuming their cuisine is tailored more towards these countries. .. The main pool is 1.45 metres so if you have a non swimmer it is deep too deep for our 11 year old daughter. They do have a baby pool and allow swimming in the slide pool which is 1.20m however I found it dangerous. If you don't move out of the way then your child could be hurt from the slide activity. .. The beach is all pebbles and the incline from beach too sea is quite deep. The sea is also quite rough so caution must be taken for poor swimmers and young children.. .. The bazaar inside the hotel is a rip off please avoid. They wanted 25 euros for a rubber ring. There is a shop just outside the hotel to the left which is more reasonable but still expensive. ... The area your in isn't Antayla or Alanya but Okurcalar. There isn't much to do in this area unless your willing to grab the local bus/ taxis outside to Alanya about 20 minutes or further still Antalya which is a good 1 hour away. There is a few markets one is a shopping center and further still (turn right from the hotel is the grand bazaar about 30 min walk. Now this is turkey, you will get harrased as soon as you enter. Every couple of yards they will be at you to enter their shops. The golden ticket at the very end is a Migros. This is were you would go for snacks and drinks as their prices are cheap (can of monster about 95p) I would suggest you bulk up for the hotel. .. A summary for our holiday is this. The hotel is lovely and clean the all inclusive is worth the money and the alcohol is spot on too. The food although a great choice can be repetitive depending on your eating habits. The staff are incredible and will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best time. We did enjoy our 2 week stay, however we will explore our options as we would love an area to explore, and unfortunately this hotel isn't in the best location. This is our experience and doesn't represent everyone else's expectations.. Thankyou Mukarnas x
