Sherwood Breezes
Resort is a stylish and upscale all-inclusive hotel set on extensive and immaculate grounds in
Antalya's upmarket Lara district. A 2014 makeover is still very much in evidence, and there are chic, polished interiors throughout. Rooms are bright and attractive, with furnished balconies -- some with sea views -- though some overlook a wall. Facilities for all ages are
superb -- highlights include an on-site water park and long sandy beach with
butler-service cabins. Rates compare favorably to similar hotels,
though for properties with a little more glitz and sparkle -- at a slightly higher price tag -- take a look at the
Delphin hotels.

Scene
Smart, contemporary resort hotel set on spacious, immaculate grounds
Though one of the
less flamboyant-looking hotels in the area, Sherwood Breezes Resort occupies a
smart and stylish building with a cool natural stone and shimmering glass
facade. Stepping inside, the bright and lofty lobby area soars up all nine
floors of the property while shiny stone floors, wingback chairs, and splashes of contemporary art tastefully blend traditional and modern elements. Although
built in 2005, the hotel benefitted from a 2014 revamp, which lent the interiors a
genuinely polished, 21st-century feel that has been maintained since.
While fronted by its own water park, to the rear stretch immaculate gardens of
spacious manicured lawns and innumerable palm trees that extend down to the
long sandy beach. While mostly popular with vacationing families, the vibe is
also chic enough for couples looking for somewhere with a bit of class.
Location
Overlooking the Mediterranean and 15 minutes from Antalya Airport
The hotel is
located in the district of Lara set between a long stretch of sandy beach and a main coastal highway that connects to the popular Turkish resort destination of Antalya.
Set overlooking the Mediterranean on Turkey's south coast, the property is
surrounded by similar hotels, shopping malls, and souvenir shops, though there is not
much in the way of restaurants and bars beyond those on-site. The location does
make for easy access to Antalya Airport -- 15 minutes away by car -- while
downtown Antalya takes about a half-hour.
Rooms
Bright rooms open to furnished balconies -- some with sea views
Sherwood Breezes
Resort has just shy off 500 rooms, all of which received a major makeover in
2014 and it shows in the attractive hardwood floors, fresh contemporary styling,
and chic modern furnishings. While some Standard Rooms can feel a bit small, all rooms open to furnished terraces or balconies, many with
views over the Mediterranean (though a few rooms overlook a wall). Minibars
are restocked daily and flat-screen TVs have satellite channels, though guests complain of poor Wi-Fi service. Smart polished bathrooms have walk-in
showers and wall-mounted toiletries and hairdryers, while suites also include
jetted tubs.
Features
Long sandy beach with butler-service cabins and beach parties, plus several restaurants and bars
The Woodland
Restaurant is the hotel's main eatery that provides breakfast, lunch, and
dinner buffet-style with a wide range of international favorites and a terrace
overlooking the sea. There are also three a la carte restaurants -- Italian,
Turkish, and Asian -- while a selection of bars and two patisseries provide
drinks and snacks. Pools include a large free-form pool with three whirlpools, a
children's splash pool, indoor pool, and infinity-edge pool made for
relaxation, while over 500 feet of sandy beach is exclusive for guests' use
(beach cabins with private butler service are an added touch of luxury). Kids
are also well catered for with an on-site water park, mini-club, and football
club for children of all ages. There's even a spa with hot tubs, saunas, and a traditional Turkish bath, while evening entertainment includes a
late-night disco and beach parties.
All-Inclusive / Food
Some international-brand drinks and midnight buffet
The hotel's
all-inclusive plan covers buffet-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the main
buffet restaurant as well as one a la carte meal per stay. Snacks including ice cream are also provided at select times between meals, together with a choice of
cakes at the patisserie and a daily midnight buffet. A range of mostly locally produced
alcoholic and soft drinks are also included, as well as some international
brands -- all available 24 hours via room service.
