Our stay in rixos downtown antalya was short but it was good. The rooms are spacious, clean, and with a nice view. I was a bit disappointed as i booked a room with a bath tub but didn t have one in the room.
The facilities and recreation are amazing, the pools, the restaurant and lounges are very elegant. The spa is top!
The hospitality is not great to be honest, and the food can definitely be better as this hotel is rated on of the 10 best properties in town.
The food at the breakfast was very rich however the a la carte lunch was not impressive. The shrimps pasta came with literally one piece of shrimp, while the chicken sandwich plate was tasty.
The fruit selections, and nibbles on buffet were good. I believe people on all inclusive benefit from a generous variety.
The bar cocktails are a little basic, and bar food as well. (Outdoors)
The animator on the pool was really cool and helpful and he is the only person from the team that i would rate as 5 stars. While the reception team was weak - from a hospitality point of view, from being uncertain, to no being able to accommodate our request of a late check while half the rooms were unoccupied. We had a very late flight but the person at the reception didn t seam bothered to hear us.
The pool is great, but it closes very early, this should be considered during summer time as the weather allow for longer use, and all holiday stayer would enjoy it after the sunset.
The pool area, being nice, clean and well lay-off didn t have enough chaise-long and umbrellas to cater everyone at around noon time. Noting that many families went to land of legends earlier and the hotel wasn t at full occupancy.
We had a great holiday in Antalya and Rixos is one of beautiful placed we stayed in, but the price we paid was higher (1.5x) what the rooms were offered at the time of arrival, with much more benefits. So felt that the value of money was a bit lower than what it should be.
