We came to rixos in oct for 1 week holiday, the hotel was very nice and very clean, the pool was nice ,there was even a little section for over 16s to swim and relax which was good as ive never stayed in a hotel with a seperate area like that, The hotel offered waiter service round the pool areas which the waiters was on rollerblades,and the drinks was carried on a tray, u didn't have to take up this offer you can just go to the bar urself to get drinks, but when your all relaxed soaking up the sun take advantage of using the service We had a waiter called talip, he was a happy man and happy to bring us our drinks, some days he brought nuts with our drinks, he looked after us all with his professional ways,always greeted us with a smile and said hello/ good morning 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ talip The beach wasnt to my liking as i dont like pebbly beaches so we only visited the beach one morning We even hired the bikes which are free to use, we rode all along the beach front The location for me was too quiet as i like the local shops and maybe outside bars We even took the visit to land of legands which is free when staying at rixos with free transport, the drive was around 45 mins,we did the day time teip to the warerpark/themepark and even a dolphin show , then we did a night trip to the shopping centre

During my stay at the Rixos Hotel, I had the pleasure of being served by Talip, a talented and passionate bartender who aspires to become a mixologist. Talip’s enthusiasm for his craft was evident in every drink he prepared. His creativity shone through, as he personalized each cocktail, taking the time to understand my preferences and suggesting unique flavors I hadn’t considered before. He also shared interesting details about the ingredients and techniques he used, demonstrating both knowledge and a deep interest in mixology. Talip’s warm personality and dedication to his work added a wonderful touch to my experience at the bar. It’s clear he’s committed to honing his skills and achieving his goal of becoming a mixologist. I have no doubt that with his passion and dedication, he’ll reach great heights in his career. If you’re at the Rixos Hotel, I highly recommend visiting Talip at the bar—you won’t be disappointed!

“Downtown Rixos Hotel Antalya does not deserve a 5-star rating”

The grounds of the hotel were beautifully kept and staff were great, but management decisions made our 2 week holiday very disappointing. Air conditioning was switched off midway through our holiday in October 2024, despite high temperatures outside and our west facing bedroom being 28 degrees: we got sun all afternoon and very uncomfortable. (Their website continued stating air con' was available. New arrivals were very angry at finding switched off.) Hotel management gave us a a fan as a resolution, which blew hot air around the room. Ferral cats in the grounds were prolific and continually approached tables when we were dining. There were cats in the main ground level restaurant with staff stepping around them, clearly used to them. When I complained about cats inside the restaurant; it fell on the deaf ears of both the food manager and duty hotel manager. 2 nights later we were in the bar on the second level, where cats were roaming. One went into the adjoining Meat Restaurant where it pounced onto the lap of a boy of around 8 years old, who jumped up in fright. His parents were shocked, but tried to reassure their son. Staff put it through sliding doors into the outside area, but the cat soon was roaming freely again. Having a phobia and allergy of cats myself, their freedom in and out of the hotel meant being on tenterhooks continually, thereby at odds with being on holiday. Food was not as we expected in a 5-star hotel, due to food being mundane, repetative and extremely overcooked; it was very disappointing and was not 4-star, let alone 5-star, in our opinion. During our 2 weeks there, we were allowed to chose one of 4 specialist restaurants. We chose the Mediteranean one, which was fantastic and food seemed to be cooked onsite. We later paid for the Japanese restaurant and enjoyed that also. Dress code in the main restaurant for dinner was disappointingly very casual, with men in beachware, sleeveless vests, sliders, etc. Not at all dressed appropriately for a 5-star hotel, or according to the website. Loud trance dance music, continually playing around the pool from 10am until late was extremely frustrating, especially as the young people at whom it was aimed, usually had their ear-buds, or head-phones in and listening to their own music. The hotel room was functional, but not as expected in a 5-star hotel. Overall, a disappointing and frustrating holiday. We are experienced travellers who have enjoyed holidays all over the world and could not believe how poor the hotel was.
