Just to say that we actually viewed this hotel at Easter when we stayed at the Barut Lara down the road. It is a beautiful hotel and they were just putting the finishing touches to the pier, they have a bar on it and bean bag type seating. The indoor pool is great and has a refeshments bar in with nice seating. The amusement park is good for younger kids and the slides looked superb! Easter is earlier next year but we had some great weather when we stayed this year, but also one heck of a huge thunder storm, but for families worried about the heat in turkey in summer this is a great time to go.
We got the guest services at the barut to ring for us and they allowed us to view it because we had already booked for easter next year. we booked or son has an adult cos it worked out cheaper by a couple of 100 pounds! We prefer Thomas cook for turkey and have been with them about 10 times to Turkey and we always enjoy our staya. We did use first choice last year though to go to turkey and had no problems in august.

The delphin palace is near to several jlovely hotels but the concorde nearby looks just like a plane in the distance- abit strange at first. Our hotel was near the titanic which looks like a ship and one day when a sea mist came over it looked really eerie!!
The whole area was a building site but did not spoi[ our holiday and we can not wait to see the finished results next year/ There is a really nice newly opened shopping center right near the delphin palace and shops across the road. They were building many apartments in the area and a new auto route. The short journey from the airport is great and you can see the plane coming and going.

Finally for anyone pondering we can fully recommend the Barut Lara it is a true 5 star hotel and to be honest we were spoilt and considered changing to go there next year but because we went and saw the palace we decided to give it a try! it is over the top luxury from the impressive lifts to the magnificent entrance and really grand. Hopre this helps!

thanks violet, any information is really helpful, its sounds fabulous.

Can anyone give me the first choice brochure code for this hotel, trying to get it to come up on the first choice website, but not having much luck.

Thanks

julie

Thanks for info, Violet

Thanks Julie, you're a star.

>>>>>>>>>>>. runs off to first choice website

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh its not working All I'm getting is

Sorry, but we can't find a match for that accommodation code. Please check and try again.

Has anyone managed to get this hotel up on first choice or eclipse, i've only managed to find it on Thomas Cook.

There are a couple of reviews and customer photos on tripadviser for the delphin palace and on the delphin web site there is s review page!

Hi Catherine

We booked on line, try typing in the dates you want to go and put Turkey the med coast, also put all inclusive and premier, if no joy with that send me the dates and airport you want to go from and i will try to get it up on pc.

Good luck julie

Thank you Julie, I don't know why on earth it wasn't coming up before.

Yup, definitely considering this one for our fortnight in May next year, looks lovely.

I know what was wrong, for some really bizarre reason its coming up with First Choice and not with Eclipse, now I am confused

hi catherine

glad you got it sorted, first choice and eclipse owned by the same company.

hope you will do a review when you get back.

happy hols

julie

Thanks Julie, I know they're the same, thats why I'm confused, because it will come up on FC website but not on Eclipse, hmmmmmmmmm.

Its cheaper with Thomas Cook anyway! lol Just normally you can get quite a good discount on Eclipse compared to Fc and I wanted to compare it. Nothing should surprise me about Fc anymore mind you

Right so now I'm stuck between this hotel and whether or not to go to Florida next year. Must decide soon though before the free child places go!

Thanks for all your help.

Ok peeps

Time to find out who and when everyone is going to to this five star 24hr all inclusive hotel (including branded drinks)!

I have been watching this site and Tripadvisor since last year when we first booked. Trip members give this hotel No 1 in Antalya. It is the first year (as far as I know) that UK travel agencies have had this hotel on their books, and have been trying to find out what % of rooms they have acquired. I have done both AI in the Carib and EU before and to be truthful the EU were rubbish(plastic glasses and 23:00 you then have to pay). Hopefully these new wave of 24hr AI will soon be up to the standard of the ultra AI of the Carib.

Hi,

We are off to the delphin on 14th September for 2 weeks, i have also been looking at the great reviews on trip advisor. Last month we had a week at the Titanic , we met a couple on the coach as we picked up at the Delphin who had had a fab time, they said the a la cartes were good, drinks included cocktails and there was a bar on the hotel pier, can't wait. there are some really good photo's on holidaycheck website. look forward to your review!

Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Delphin Palace Hotel is now the number one rated hotel in Turkey.
As voted by Trip Advisor members.

Well done to everybody that is going to this gem this year.
