Calimera Sunpark Alanya - Former Sunpark Garden Hotel

✓Calimera has been renovated according to its slightly CGI type promotional images. You can tell it was once a dated hotel but its current aesthetic is modern, fun and clean. Our room was clean and surprisingly had a kitchenette with cupboards, sink and microwave. However on arrival there was no tea and coffee provisions and whilst we had plenty of pool towels provided in the room, we only had one set of white towels. I’m not sure if we and the housekeeping staff were on the same page throughout our stay. What we found a wonderful surprise was the new kids club which has been kitted out well. What was an immediate downside was that no kids were enrolling on the kids club each day so our daughter (who we chose the hotel for) could not enjoy herself at all. We felt sorry for the kids club staff as they clearly wanted to do stuff but couldn’t. We established that we were the only family there on an all inclusive and kids club was extra for everyone else so weren’t bothering when the pools and slides were such a pool. And they were great! Renovated splash pool was lovely, plenty of things going on in main pool and extra slide pool was a great place to spend the afternoon. It included pre school slides which meant our 5 year old could chose which level of slides she wanted to explore. We also chose this hotel due to the free beach shuttle service to their sister hotel. We didn’t realise until the day of going that this is an ADULT ONLY hotel where children were only allowed in certain areas. We were annoyed but happy to accept that, only when we got to the hotel and wanted lunch none of the staff told us the correct information regarding our child which meant that half way through lunch we were informed we were sitting where our daughter wasn’t allowed and after being directed to the toilet inside for her, my husband was promptly marched out and shown to go elsewhere. This did not make Daddy a happy holiday maker. He felt that information throughout the hotels was too hard to come by with any accuracy. However, Calimera staff on hearing our grievances were quick to respond in a helpful way. The Hamman was very traditional in that it was dominated by male staff and had the air of all being very casual. This did not sit well with Mummy! Mummy likes a happy kid in kids club whilst she relaxes in a spa. I had forgotten how unrelaxing Turkish hammans were. But if your after that closer to god body treatment then this hamman is for you. Also my male masseuse did do a great massage, I just perhaps hasn’t prepared my expectations well. Would we go back? I think I’d take a group of my girlfriends there with our kids knowing we could natter whilst they played together - but mumma and papa need to find a more relaxing hotel to stay at. Ps - poolside beds get saved fast.

✓The hotel is very nice thanks to every body , Golnush merve yasmin they are so lovely

✓Perfect location for exploring and experiencing Alanya. Muhammad was amazing with the entertainment and all staff could not do enough for you. There is always something going on through the day from water polo to water flumes. Room are clean and beds are comfy. The hotel has a great atmosphere that make you feel relaxed and welcome. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking great family location.
