Optimum Luxury Hotel & Spa

It’s under the flight path into Antalya airport, though the windows are well insulated and the plane noise wasn’t too intrusive. The area is otherwise quiet. It’s well placed for both town and coast, with a food court offering lots of cuisines and a convenience store less than a 5-minute walk away.

We’ve stayed here twice. The rooms are decent, and breakfast has a fair choice. The big letdown is the shower drain: it’s so poor that water pools across the whole bathroom. In peak season the pool area is large enough, and there’s also a spa, indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and Turkish hamam massage option.

The reception team were especially helpful, even printing my flight ticket, and I want to thank them. The staff overall were friendly, and we’ll definitely come back. Our room was very clean, with cleaning available on request until 16:00. There are indoor and outdoor pools, and the restaurant food was delicious. We used the spa for free, and it stayed open until 21:30. There are several massage options at reasonable prices, though we didn’t have time to try one because we were there for dental treatment. We’ll do that next time.

The pool area and spa are lovely, and guests can use the Turkish bath and sauna for free. Breakfast has a huge selection, though it’s not an English fry-up. The staff were kind and really helpful. Quite a few dental tourists stay here, which is handy if that’s why you’re visiting. Some rooms are very small, but they do the job.
