Barcelo - accommodation in Antalya

The Art of Hospitality, Perfected in Antalya As part of my world tour, I chose to rest in Antalya one of the few places with perfect weather alongside Cape Town and Dubai. It turned out to be one of my greatest travel discoveries. Akra Hotel, recently renovated from top to bottom, is simply outstanding. The owner deserves deep respect generous, refined, and truly ethical. He treats his team with dignity, and it shows. The atmosphere is calm yet alive, and the staff reflect a rare harmony of professionalism and joy. The main kitchen is another masterpiece. Nothing is spared I’ve seen ingredients worth over $100 per kilo served effortlessly. Every dinner feels like a celebration, prepared by world-class chefs. And the view… just magnificent. You gaze over the Mediterranean and the Taurus Mountains, even on cloudy days it’s breathtaking. The air is clean, fresh, full of life. Special thanks to Murat and Mehmet at the front desk kind, helpful, sincere. Guest relations is dynamic and growing stronger by the day. The fitness center is clearly the result it’s a beautifully designed and fully equipped space. However, cleanliness could be improved to match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. I would also like to extend my special thank to Tarik :) In my eyes, this is a boutique 5-star hotel that deserves at least a 9.6 rating. A place of elegance, soul, and substance. I’m deeply grateful I found it — and I’m staying longer to truly enjoy it

This was our second visit to Swandor, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations! We had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish and are already looking forward to returning again. The kids absolutely loved it — the entertainment and facilities were outstanding, with so much on offer that it’s impossible to name everything. A special thank you to Demircan, Fatima, Elen, Laura, the amazing staff at Rino, the hardworking cleaners, and so many others who made our stay so comfortable and memorable. Their warmth, support, and outstanding service truly made us feel at home. Swandor continues to be a perfect family getaway for us, and we can’t wait for our next visit!

Excellent facility, wonderfull beach area, nice breakfast, attentive staff. The only small issue is that room cleaning was leaving dust on the gloor
