When I booked the Innvista Hotels Belek, I went looking for an honest, independent review and couldn’t find a single one. So I wrote one. We paid for this stay ourselves, and we spent 11 nights there in late October and early November with our two-year-old son.

Short version: great value, lovely staff, better food than I expected, and one of the easiest holidays we’ve had with a toddler. The details, including the stuff I’d change, are below.

Why We Chose Innvista Hotels Belek

We’d only just decided to go on holiday, and when I searched for Belek for 11 days between October and November, the Innvista popped up heavily discounted. At £1,281 for 11 nights, it worked out at about £116 a night, which for fully all inclusive was hard to ignore.

It’s fully all inclusive, with every meal and every drink (alcohol included) covered, and there are several places to eat multiple times a day. It’s also very close to Land of Legends, one of the area’s main kids’ attractions. We later learned our son was too small for the rides, but the shopping mall was a bonus, only a 10-minute walk away.

The kids’ facilities were the other big draw. Our son was only 2, so he couldn’t be left alone in the kids’ club (it starts at 4), but it looked like fun for us to do things with him there, and the facilities looked really good.

It also had 8.6 out of 10 from almost 700 guest reviews when I booked, from a mix of countries with plenty of UK guests, so I decided to give it a chance.

Arriving at Innvista: Transfer, Check-In and a Room Change

We flew into Antalya Airport and booked a private (not shared) transfer with Sun Transfers. It was the cheapest I could find, at about €36.77.

We got to the hotel at around 10pm, hungry, and discovered the main restaurant opens at 11pm for a “late night” snack. There was fish, rice and actual proper food at that hour, which was great. Check-in took about two seconds.

Around midway through our stay we had to move rooms because of a water issue in one section of the hotel, which was a hassle with 6 nights ahead of us and everything already unpacked. They apologised properly, though. We got the best room they had, a bottle of wine and a fruit platter, and they let us play pool for free.

The Rooms

We ended up in two rooms, and both had a separate kids’ bedroom with two single beds, plus a balcony. The second was a suite, with a bigger bathroom (a shower and an over-bath shower) and a living room.

Both were comfy and clean with plenty of storage. The beds were on the firm side but fine, and the bedrooms weren’t noisy at all. There’s a free minibar with soft drinks and water, which came in handy, and shower gel and shampoo are provided. There’s a place to hang clothes on the balcony, and a switch to indicate whether you want the room cleaned or not. They also gave us milk cartons on demand for our son, who has milk before bed.

Cots are provided, but we didn’t use one. At 2, our son already sleeps in a normal bed as long as it’s not too narrow, so we simply pushed the two single beds together so he couldn’t fall out.

The Food at Innvista

I’d call the food mid-range in quality, but properly nice, and after 11 nights I can say we loved it. The main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a huge variety: cheeses, hot dishes, veggies, cold food and tons of desserts. There’s also a snack bar by the pool (wraps, burgers, chips, some veggies and ice cream) and a patisserie for tea, coffee, cookies, croissants and cakes.

Breakfast

Variety was the highlight. Our son loved the pancakes, and my husband was very happy with the omelettes made to order. What’s missing is bacon. Pork was rarely served, which I’m guessing is cultural, and while there were some sausages that may have been pork, there was no fresh bacon, which was slightly disappointing. The scrambled eggs weren’t great, but the fried and boiled eggs were, so it wasn’t an issue. The coffee was ok, as was everything else. There is Turkish delight served at breakfast too!

The only real miss was the orange juice. It tasted super artificial and watered down, yet somehow still had pulp.

Lunch and Dinner

Lunch and dinner were pretty similar, and the stars were the meats. There was a lot of turkey prepared in different ways (fajita style, entrecote, stews) and it was delicious, as was the chicken, sometimes on skewers, grilled or in sauces. Beef was great when it was available, though less common. But the top highlight was the fish, which always tasted so, so fresh.

The rice was also really good, which seems silly to say, but I’ve had bad rice before. The bread and veggies were fresh too, so I had no complaints at all. For fussy eaters there were nuggets, chips and onion rings at every meal (including breakfast!).

Desserts

This is where I found the weak point. There are A LOT of desserts, very colourful and crazy-looking, but I’d say the more colourful and crazy-looking they were, the less good they tasted. A lot of them tasted very artificial and all the same.

The best ones were the traditional Turkish desserts (baklava, honey cakes), the cheesecake and the occasional lucky hit, but you’d have to try a lot to find one. I’d generally steer clear and stick to fruit or the ice cream at the snack bar, which was very nice.

À La Carte Restaurants

There are four à la carte restaurants: a fish one (Fish Inn), an Italian, a Chinese and a traditional Turkish (Anatolian) one. I assumed they were all included, but only one, sometimes two, are included in the stay, and the others cost a small fee per person. We went to the Mediterranean one, the Italian, which was included, and it was lovely. We would really recommend it!

The Beach Buffet

At the beach there’s a basic buffet with one choice of meat, pasta, rice, salad, chips, veggies and fruit. It’s not as good as the main restaurant, but it’s perfectly fine given it’s on the beach, and drinks are available there too. It was a pleasure to be able to have lunch at the beach.

Drinks and Bars

Drinks are included. For soft drinks there are some local ones, Pepsi, juices and more. For alcohol, the beer is Efes (the local lager), and there are local, cheaper spirits and wines, which are great. The cocktails were nice we loved the Almond Sour and the Passionette! Some lovely mocktails too, if you’d prefer not to drink.

Water comes in plastic bottles instead of refill stations, which isn’t very sustainable but was convenient.

Kids’ Club and Entertainment

This was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel, and it didn’t disappoint. The mini club is open from 10am to 10pm with breaks in between, and the facilities are great: a soft play area with slides, a trampoline, and rooms with toys, TV and video games.

There’s an activity every hour, like pizza making, T-shirt decorating, handcrafts and games. Every day at 8:30pm there’s also a mini disco, which is a dance class. Berrin and Madina, who run it every day, were so lovely, and the kids loved them. We spent hours on end in the mini club and can strongly vouch for it.

Pools and Water Slides

There are 7 pools across two areas. Four are on the relax side, and three are on the kids’ side where the slides are: one with the bigger slides, one with the smaller slides, and a shallow kids’ pool with a mushroom-type thing. The outdoor pools aren’t heated, which was a pity, though I imagine it would take a huge amount of electricity. There’s also a heated indoor pool at around 27 to 28 degrees.

And the slides, there are tons of them! The bigger, more adult slides in their own pool were closed when we visited in late October and November, but the four kid-friendly slides were open and great. My son couldn’t go on his own, so I went with him. It was a bit cold (23 to 24 degrees outside), but we got in almost every day, except when the temperature dropped to 18 to 19 degrees.

Toddler Practicalities

The main restaurant has a dedicated kids’ room with small chairs and low tables, all painted in bright colours, with a chess board in the ceiling! And that’s where the high chairs can be found too. Kids’ food was mainly nuggets and chips, plus pancakes and croissants at breakfast.

The hotel was pushchair friendly, with ramps almost everywhere or flat ground. I didn’t find anywhere to warm milk, but there’s a dedicated Wi-Fi network for baby monitors. We brought our own and connected it to the main Wi-Fi, but I understand you can ask reception for the baby monitor network, and they may even lend you a monitor.

The Hotel Cats

The hotel has loads of cats. You’ll find them outside the main restaurant, between the relax pool area and the kids’ area, and there’s even a cat house for them. There were cute kittens too, and it was an activity in itself. A few of the cats also sit on the sofas in the patisserie, which serves sweet stuff, coffee and tea.

Gym and Spa

The gym was fantastic, one of the best I’ve seen: really well equipped with machines, bars, a squat rack and dumbbells, like any traditional gym.

The spa is decorated in a Turkish/Oriental style. It’s a little tired, but still absolutely fine. There’s a dry sauna, a wet sauna (not working when I was there) and a Turkish hammam. Treatments are affordable, and you can haggle a little depending on whether it’s busy or low season. In low season they discounted a package for me quite a bit: package number two, which was a traditional Turkish scrub, a cacao scrub, a wash, a 60-minute hot stone massage and a facial. It was really good, and the masseuse, who was from Bali, was very good and very strong.

Shops

There are two shops in the hotel. The smaller one on the ground floor sells drugstore items and snacks (ice creams, gum and so on), plus toys and balls. There are a lot of toys sold in the hotel! The other is on the lower ground floor (level -1) and sells similar things, plus bigger floaties and nappies, in case you forgot any baby essentials.

Right next to the hotel, a 5-minute walk away, there are more shops selling Turkish delight, souvenirs, magnets and other tourist bits.

The Beach

The beach is about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute drive away, with transfers every half hour. I’d say it’s a pro rather than a con that the beach isn’t at the hotel, because it makes going feel like a little excursion!

It’s a nice beach, though not a paradise one: the water was greenish and the sand on the darker side. But having a buffet and drinks on hand was a major plus, and there are toilets and changing booths. Sunbeds were really easy to get, but I visited in low season and it was barely busy, so it might be very different in peak season.

Entertainment for Adults, Wi-Fi and Decor

We visited in low season, but there were activities for adults almost every hour too, like aqua gym, air rifle shooting and archery. We were focused on the kids’ activities, so I didn’t pay much attention to the grown-up ones. At times there were live bands in the bar area, and there’s a disco which I believe opens later. None of it was noisy from the bedrooms.

The Wi-Fi worked throughout the hotel and generally well. The signal was sometimes a bit weaker in the rooms, but it was good enough for streaming and fine for our baby monitor.

There’s also a pool/snooker table for €5 an hour, and ping pong in the kids’ pool area.

The decor is traditional and elegant. It’s not trendy or modern, I’d say it’s just classic, timeless hotel decor, especially in the rooms, and the hotel was clean and well kept.

The Staff

All the staff were so lovely, friendly and kind, from reception to the guest relations team who’d check in with you, to the cleaners at the pool and the attendants in the restaurants. It was a major highlight. Everyone seemed happy to work there! Berrin and Madina from Mini Club were two angels, so hard working.

Who Stays at Innvista Hotels Belek

We went in low season (late October to early November), so there was a mix of guests, including a few families, maybe 5 to 10 at a time. During our stay the Ironman race was on, and about 90% of the guests were taking part, because the race started from the hotel’s beach. After a few very quiet days, an artificial intelligence conference filled the hotel again, with a different crowd of corporate guests and teenagers.

English speakers were the minority. Most guests were Russian, then Turkish, then German, then English speakers, plus some from Arabic-speaking countries. It was sometimes hard to find English-speaking kids, but my son still managed to play with lots of different children.

Weather and When to Visit

For most of our stay it was around 23 to 24 degrees, then it dropped to 18 to 19, and that’s when we had to stop using the pools. I’d say September to October is the sweet spot for price and weather; I’d imagine August would be rammed and slightly too busy. That said, November is definitely already too cold.

Things to Do Around Innvista Hotels Belek

The hotel is a short walk from the Land of Legends complex, which makes it an easy base for a few low-effort outings, and none of them needs a tour bus. Here’s what I’d do.

Visit the Land of Legends Theme Park

Land of Legends is one of Turkey’s biggest theme park resorts, and it’s very close to the hotel. It’s split into themed areas: Adventure Land has the big thrill rides, including the Hyper Coaster and the Typhoon Coaster, Aqua Land is a huge water park with more than 40 slides, and Tropic Lagoon is gentler water fun. There’s also Nickelodeon Land, Masha and The Bear Land of Laughter, a dolphin show and a newer area called Waterfly. You can book entry tickets in advance, and it’s worth knowing that Aqua Land closes for the winter season, so check what’s open on your dates.

Now the honest bit for parents of little ones. Our son was too small for the rides, which, from what I can find, is true for most toddlers. The big coasters start at 130 to 135 cm, most of the family rides need 105 to 120 cm, and a ride-height database lists just one ride that takes children under 100 cm (a toddler ride at 85 cm) and one more at 100 cm. Some of the water play areas have no listed minimum, but those are seasonal. So if you have a toddler, it’s probably not worth the ticket. If your kids are 120 cm or taller, it’s a different story. Check the park’s website for the current height rules before you buy, as they can change.

Walk Around the Land of Legends Mall

The Land of Legends Mall is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and it’s very nice and really well taken care of. There’s a canal running through the middle, and you can take a boat along it. You can also rent a trolley shaped like a car for around £8 an hour and pop your kid inside. My son really enjoyed that. There are some fun shops too, including a Land of Legends store where you can buy kids’ things, and a candy shop called CandyCandy. The fountains put on a show every hour, which only lasts about 3 minutes, but it’s worth catching if you’re there.

Visit Nemo Restaurant

Nemo is an aquarium restaurant at the Land of Legends, themed around Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The whole point is the big aquarium windows, with sharks, rays and fish swimming past while you have a drink or dinner. The menu leans towards seafood and sushi, and it’s very, very expensive. So we just had a drink, which came to around £15 per person, and I’d suggest doing the same if you want to see the aquarium without the dinner bill.

Tours To do From the Hotel

We only did one tour, because we were wary of putting a toddler on a bus for too long, and most tours involve quite a drive. Here’s the one we did, plus a few others that offer pickup from Belek or Antalya. Pickup areas vary by tour, so check that your hotel’s area is covered when you book.

Suluada: Relax at The Maldives of Turkey

The one we did was the Suluada Island boat tour, and I’d really recommend it. It seems to run almost all year round.

Suluada is supposed to be the Maldives of Turkey, and it’s true: the sea was very clear and turquoise. The water was also quite a bit warmer than at the beach near the hotel, so it would be great for snorkelling (bring your own or rent one on the boat). Even though it wasn’t the hottest day, it was very comfortable to get in.

Antalya: Marvel at the Düden Waterfalls and Explore the Old Town

If you’d rather see Antalya itself, this full-day tour combines the Düden Waterfalls, the old town of Kaleiçi with its Roman Hadrian’s Gate, and a boat cruise, with lunch included. It’s around 8.5 hours, with pickup from Belek among the options.

Ancient Turkey in a Day: Perge, Aspendos and Side

This day trip is the classic ancient history route: the ruins of Perge, the Roman theatre at Aspendos and the coastal town of Side, usually with a waterfall stop and lunch. Expect a 9 to 10 hour day, and double-check that Belek pickup is offered for your date, because listings for this route aren’t consistent about it.

Köprülü Canyon: Paddle Through the Rapids

For something more active, this family rafting tour at Köprülü Canyon includes lunch and hotel transfer, with Belek among the pickup areas. It’s a full day out, and reviewers mention the water is cold, so take something warm for afterwards.

Taurus Mountains: Jeep Through the Hills to a Waterfall

This jeep tour is based in Belek, with pickup from Belek, Serik and Kadriye, so it’s the closest match for this hotel. It’s around 8 hours, with a swim stop at Uçansu Waterfall and lunch. Some reviewers mention long minibus transfers to and from the jeep base, so it isn’t a quick day out.

If you’re building a longer Turkey trip, my Istanbul Bucket List has plenty more to add.

My Verdict: Would I Stay at Innvista Hotels Belek Again?

Yes, absolutely! We had such an amazing time. It met and even exceeded our expectations, and it was extremely affordable for what it provided. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I’d happily go back, but since Belek has so many all-inclusives, I’d probably try a different one next time just to compare. If you’re someone who likes returning to the same place, though, I’d definitely say come back, because it’s great value.
