Royal Dragon Hotel

I loved this hotel. It was so beautiful and the decor was amazing. Side note: (We went Aug 2023 not Sept. Wrote review late and Aug 2023 was not showing for me to select). The pool was great. It was like a curvy lagoon shape all throughout. There are plenty of sunbeds and plenty on the beach when you get to the top. A waterpark and fairground on site. Our kids loved this. Ages 4, 13, and 18. We did not use kids' clubs, our choice. We never do going abroad. There was also music, pool arobics which I really enjoyed, one day there was a huge party with a dj and a white party which was on a Wednesday. This I read in someone's elses review, which I'm glad I did otherwise I would not have known. The white part was amazing. They went all out. The setup was pretty cool. The lunchtime buffet had a good variety, and the evening food was so well presented and lots to choose from. Mcdonlads was a walk down the road, lots of shops and little bars, etc. We booked a pirate adventure cruise when we were out in the evening. Little stands with booklets to choose what you want to do. On the cruise, we had food included. You do have to pay for drinks and ice cream. They came around with a beautiful, kind parrot and took pics of us all. We bought them all and on printed plates too. Music throughout and a foam party, too. I think they were very entertaining. We did stop off at a sandy area where you can jetski, £20 pp for half hr. You could ride a camel, too. The hotel was offering jetski experience at £90 pp for half hr. We definitely got our moneys worth doing this trip. You go past the side ruins, than you park up, and you can jump off in the sea and swim. If you want to see a little video of the hotel see my tiktok page: sj_mummamoo

Lovely hotel. The grounds and the hotel were kept spotless from the very busy, attentive staff. The food was really nice every day, plentiful, fresh, great quality and always hot with lots of choice. The beach was stunning and the sea was lovely to swim in. The entertainment was really good. White Party/Pool Party were great! The reps spoke in many languages during the entertainment, but never in English which I found disappointing. If you spoke to any reps, they were always very friendly and spoke back to you in English, but I guess the entertainment was geared towards the majority of the clientele at the time of our visit. Perhaps there weren't many English there when we went on the 2nd September. Alcohol: My partner and I are not big drinkers, so after several cocktails, a few beers and a couple of Proseccos, I really should have been legless. But it didn't touch me. The drinks tasted really nice, but I am not sure it had much alcohol contents. Not a problem for me - just a comment. There is a lovely beach bar at the hotel, where you can watch the world go by, very relaxing. We walked down the beach everyday, it would have been nice to stop off at other bars for a drink/rest - but this wasn't an option as all the hotels up and down the beach have their own private area - not open to non residents. We jumped on a bus to go to the local market, this was good fun and we came back with some bargains. TIP: On our last day we found the sea turtles. Breakfast time - go out of the hotel at the rear, turn to your right, walk to the bridge and there they are. OMG I was delighted. Enjoy your holiday whenever you go!

Basically this is a very average Turkish hotel, have stayed in many in the Antalya area this is the worst.. 1: Drinks are terrible apart from the beer which is Effes can't go wrong with that, if you like a good vodka, Gin, jack Daniels etc bring your own as these are cheap and not cheerful. 2: Staff generally grumpy or do not understand what you want, ask for red wine get white, ask for vodka tonic get sprite etc... 3: pools are too crowded, feels very crammed with sunbeds, get up early if you want to claim one as people were up at 6 am claiming them which is annoying but you can deal with it. Tiles are so slippery and boiling hot ridiculous choice for around the pool. 4: Food is pretty good but it is literally the same thing everyday but all inclusive so expect that. Al la carte are empty as they charge far too much so never bothered. 5: Beware of very rude Russians the hotel is full of them, what a horrible nation they are yet to meet a decent one!!!! Would not return here and would definitely not recommend. Plus side the slides are good, beach is pretty good plenty of loungers beware of the hottest sand in the world though

Very clean hotel would definitely come again just would come in summer as outside pools were closed so limited to what could do but still a great hotel Indoor pool s nice and good selection of food I wasn’t that keen on the breakfasts but there is a lot of choice and everyone’s different

The hotel itself was very well presented, the public rooms and the guest rooms were clean and tidy, and in a well kept state. The hotel is not really geared up for British Travellers, with the bias on German and Turkish guests approx 90 percent to 10 percent British. The food was of good quality, but again of strange mixtures for example, at breakfast there was a cauliflower saute, brussell sprouts floating in some form of liquid, mashed potatoes. It appears that these strange items are very popular with people other than Brits. We were there over Christmas, which was a non event. The tables were dressed Christmas eve, but the food was a repetition of the days previously with the highlight being lamb chops, which were very good, but not a Christmas favourite. Being a Muslim country and apparantly hotel no bacon or real sausages were served, there were eggs cooked to order and also ommlettes, which again were edible. I can only say there was always something to eat, but it wasn't something to get overjoyed about. The drinks were varied with a few imported makes except if you are a Gin drinker, then you have yo put up with Turkish gin, the beer was ok as it was Effes. The staff ere very friendly and attentive. The 2 A'lacarte restaurants we tried the Asian and the Italian were very good and reasonable at 20 euros per person. The location is so so, but there are regular Domus services into Side, for a couple of euros. If you are looking for a nice hotel but not worried about the food served to you, then this hotel would be ideal
