Housed in a historic building, the upper-middle-range Mediterra Art Hotel sits in the historical center of Antalya. Its 33 rooms have elegant, old-fashioned decor that reflects a sense of place. They're outfitted with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning, though no coffee- and tea-making facilities. In terms of features, highlights here include a pool, Turkish restaurants with some alfresco seating, and free Wi-Fi and parking. Unfortunately, the hotel's breakfast gets mixed reviews and the coffee is panned. Travelers might want to compare rates at the nearby Alp Pasa Hotel, which has three restaurants and rooms with coffee-making facilities.

The four-pearl Akra Barut is a big, upscale resort with everything needed for a great waterside vacation: several pools, a spa, restaurants, kids’ activities, water sports, and more. The location near Antalya’s old town makes it more central than some of the farther-flung resorts of the region. However, while Akra Barut does have sea access, it does not have a sandy beach -- instead it sits above rocky cliffs. The 471 rooms have beautiful balconies -- many with incredible sea views -- plus amenities like free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Note some are located in a separate building and noise between rooms can be a problem. By comparison, the nearby Delphin Diva Premiere has a sandy beach as well as all-inclusive packages that are great for families and groups.

The upscale 70-room Puding Marina Residence is a historic old town property about a five-minute walk to Antalya Harbor and Mermerli Beach. Rooms are simple but contemporary, and some have balconies with exceptional sea views, but noise can be an issue. A delightful outdoor pool, and the on-site restaurants and bars are highlights. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. Be aware that children must be at least 11 years old to stay here, and that narrow roads can make the hotel difficult to reach by car. Travelers with young children might want to consider the Ramada Plaza Antalya, although its rates are higher.

Alp Pasa Hotel is a pleasant three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel with 50 rooms spread over several historic mansions. The hotel’s central location in the heart of Antalya’s Old Town, plus antiques and artifacts in the hotel’s unique open-air museum, make this a great spot for history buffs. A small courtyard pool is a plus for previous guests, and three charming -- though expensive -- restaurants are on-site. Rooms are generally spacious and the three-bedroom villa is great for groups, but be warned that spotty Wi-Fi is only available in the hotel's common areas and Alp Pasa is stingy about free bottled water. Travelers who need Wi-Fi in their rooms might check out the nearby Mediterra Art Hotel instead.

The 429-room Green Palace is an upscale beachfront resort offering good value in a quiet area a half-hour drive from central Antalya. Two things make this hotel particularly attractive: the excellent food and large pools with separate areas for quiet relaxation and activities. The spa is pleasant and clean, and features a few thatched open pavilions over a pond, as well as a sauna and hammam that guests can use free of charge. Rooms are contemporary and well-equipped, with free Wi-Fi, free minibars, and balconies, many of which offer pretty sea views. The kids’ club keeps children of all ages busy during the day, while adults can relax by the pool or at the beach, or join the activities organized by the entertainment team.

The 441-room Limak Lara De Luxe is a large, upscale all-inclusive resort with huge pools and access to a sandy beach, complete with a two-tier pier, many loungers, serviced cabanas (for a fee), and a playground. Rooms at this family-friendly hotel are spacious and well-equipped, with Japanese-inspired decor, free minibars, free Wi-Fi, and electric kettles. Food generally gets good reviews, but some guests have complained that the staff seems overwhelmed during peak season, which can result in sloppy service. Kids and adults are kept busy during the day with a wide array of activities and games, and there are quality shows and live music every evening. Couples seeking something a little quieter may prefer the IC Hotels Green Palace.

The Delphin Diva Premiere is a family-friendly luxury hotel set in the resort area of Lara, a district to the east of Antalya and 15 minutes from the airport. The hotel extends to a sandy beach overlooking the Mediterranean while lots of its 390 rooms provide sea views from furnished balconies (though also get some noise from on-site entertainment). Leisure, eating, and drinking facilities are extensive, including a great range of pools and restaurants -- food quality can be inconsistent however. Expect to pay -- and get -- a little more at other Delphin hotels nearby, though some prefer the Diva for its smaller size and fewer crowds.

Despite its urban location, the Rixos Downtown Antalya is a high-end chain hotel surrounded by lush tropical gardens with most of the facilities you'd expect from a large four-and-a-half-pearl resort. It offers an impressive range of dining options, two outdoor pools, an extensive spa, and kid-friendly facilities. It's within walking distance of a pebbled city beach and several events venues, but getting to Old Town requires a short drive. While some are dated and showing signs of age, many of its 360 spacious guest rooms offer superb sea views, and all have 32-inch flat-screen TVs, well-stocked minibars, kettles, robes, slippers, and free Wi-Fi. Travelers looking for a sandy beach still within easy reach of the city might prefer the all-inclusive Club Hotel Sera at the start of Lara Beach.

The 604-room Royal Holiday Palace is an upscale all-inclusive with opulent interiors and massive pools. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, with flat-screen TVs, minibars stocked with beer and soft drinks (replenished daily free of charge), and electric kettles, and most have at least partial sea views. The active entertainment program and kids’ club keep guests of all ages busy during the day with pool games, evening shows, live music, and weekly pier parties, but the atmosphere may be a little too loud for some. The expansive spa is the only quiet spot in this bustling, family-friendly resort. Food gets good reviews, and most guests find the a la carte eateries worth the extra charge. Travelers seeking something mellower may want to compare rates at the neighboring Liberty Hotels Lara.

Located across the promenade from famous Konyaalti Beach, the upper-middle-range, 294-room Hotel SU offers all the amenities of a beachfront resort in an urban setting near the city center. The atmosphere is generally quiet and relaxing, especially around the beautiful outdoor pool, which has a large wooden deck lined with thick daybeds and wicker umbrellas. The rooftop restaurant is a popular spot for a romantic dinner or drinks, while the kids’ club is a great perk for families. Guests also get free access to the adjacent water park. Comfortable, spacious rooms feature free Wi-Fi, LCD TVs, fully stocked minibars, and balconies -- some with sea views -- but their bold, all-white design may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Couples seeking something with a more traditional style may prefer Tuvana Hotel, which is located in the heart of the Old Town.
