Gloria Golf Resort

Honestly the best hotel that we have ever been, we have been here for 8 times and never gonna change it! Everything on high level, especially animation team! Personally wanted to thank Batyrkhan from teenage club! Thanks to GOGI management for organizing this club! Also thanks to Alpamys! Keep it up Gloria! We will definitely come back!

We had a great time in Gloria golf. The resort is lovely and big with plenty of restaurants and bars. The pros: *The a la cartes are very good and the steak restaurant and asian restaurants in the Serenity are excellent. Well worth the supplement. *The pools are great and the kids loved the water slides. *Plenty of activities and we played padel, bowling and went to the free golf lesson The cons: * the main buffet was awful. The food selection was small and there were flies all over the food. We avoided it most of the time we were there and paid extra for dinners. The lunch options outside the buffet to be fair are excellent. * the flies in general around the resort were a problem and needs to be looked at * our interconnecting garden rooms were fine but outside these rooms looked like a motel and there was a cleaning trolley parked outside our room the whole time. It basically looked like staff quarters. *Golf was expensive to play here so we ended up booking a round of golf in the Kempinski hotel on a beautiful course for far less than it would have cost to play on the (empty) gloria golf course. I would just note as well for European travelers, the resort guests are mainly Russian so it felt a bit like being in Russia at times! Also the Serenity resort is a lot nicer than the Golf resort. If I was ever going again I would stay there. It is beautiful over there. Despite the cons though we had a great holiday and staff all over the resort were excellent

This is our 3rd time to Gloria Golf and we love it! We have been coming to Antalya, Turkey for the past 6 years and stayed in various hotels but this is our favourite. Would recommend it for families, groups of friends and large gatherings as all ages are catered for and kept entertained. Rooms The family suites are brilliant and we have 2 sons (10 & 13) so separate bathroom is now an essential. Surprisingly it is hard to find family suites with 2 bed and 2 bathrooms! The rooms are modern and well equipped with good selection of drinks and snacks too. Only slight gripes were being in the ground floor rooms, there were some bugs in the rooms each day but housekeeping gave us plug ins with repellent and cleaned them out. The climate can be humid and we felt this in the rooms too as the beds felt slightly clammy even with aircon on. Note to management: the pillows are very uncomfortable and either flat or far too high. Family suites are in a mini complex with own bar/restaurant and pool. This is nice when you want breakfast nearby and also a quieter pool near rooms. Facilities We used all pools, water park, spa and paddle tennis. All are great and well maintained. All areas felt very safe and tidy too. There are lots of activities running for both kids and adults including water polo, darts, exercise classes in the pool and yoga/pilates/stretching in the wellness area. I wanted to do more but ran out of time! The kids did a cocktail making class one day which was fantastic. The fun jungle is a huge indoor softplay but also with gaming stations so keeps kids of all ages occupied and nice place to get out the sun when very hot. Restaurants The buffet has a good selection of food each day and lots of veggie options. There are several different cuisine stations outside too so something for everyone. Special thanks to the Indian chef Vimal who looked after us fantastically well with special dishes sent to our table each day and fresh naan. We remembered him from last year when there was a much bigger group of us and one of the reasons why we re-booked this year! We had lunch at Gloria pub each day and again lots of interesting veggie and no -veg options and helpful staff including Saban who looked after us well. Quality of the food we all agreed was excellent. Beach We hired a cabana for half a day and it was a fantastic experience. Great if you are doing water sports or just want to enjoy the sea and cool breeze. Included is regular visits from staff bringing snacks and cocktails. Entertainment We enjoyed seeing the show in the amphitheatre most nights and the setting is lovely. Some of the circus/acrobat shows in particular were very impressive. After that we would play cards and have drinks in the bar near reception which had a good atmosphere and live music too on the Friday night. There are very few places like this where you can get 5 star all inclusive for a much more reasonable price compared with standard European beach destinations.
