Scene
Modern upscale all-inclusive resort for families and couples
An upscale beachfront property that's part of the Paloma group hotels, the Renaissance Antalya Beach Resort & Spa was renovated in 2015. The concept is ultra all-inclusive, meaning there's something for everyone here, from a lively poolside bar to peaceful lawns and gardens. Designed with families and couples in mind, the property is also a good fit for any tourists who want to be close to the beach and city center of Antalya. The contemporary slate-gray building is surrounded by evergreen and leafy trees and tropical plants, while interiors are immaculate and glossy. The spacious lobby features polished gray marble floors, glitzy chandeliers, huge pieces of pottery, and low-lying leather sofas. Archways decorated with Turkish tile lend an authentic, upscale feeling that continues into the many restaurants and bars. Some areas feel more like a typical all-inclusive property (think: wicker furniture and wraparound marble buffets) but overall the hotel has an interesting look.

Features
Several all-inclusive restaurants and bars, beach with Jet Ski rentals, pools and full spa, and kids' clubs
The hotel draws most guests with its all-inclusive dining plan with a buffet of seasonal organic items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- plus free ice cream in the main restaurant.

Six a la carte restaurants include a steakhouse and Aegean cuisine. Seven bars include a beach bar with live music (sometimes it cost extra). However, not all a la carte restaurants are open each night, so it's a good idea to make reservations early in the morning to get a spot. A Kids' Chef prepares special nutritious meals for children.
