Delphin Imperial

Overview

Enjoy the 24-hour all-inclusive (yep - the dream) and a sea-view terrace on every floor - perfect for that 'out of office' Insta post! There's an Irish bar open all night for Guinness around the clock and you can take is easy on the beach pier with sunbeds if you just can't get close enough to the sea. And we haven't forgotten about the little ones, who have a fun fair for the kids (and - get this - it's FREE!)

Location

• On the beach. Sorry. We had to. But it really is.

• 20 minutes from Antalya Airport (by car), so you'll be there in a jiffy

Rooms

• Superior Rooms - decked out with all the essentials (including wine on arrival...) and TWO double beds, so you can sprawl, snack and sleep to your heart's content.

• Family Rooms - two bedrooms - one for you, one for the kids. Easy! One of the rooms does have a slightly bigger wardrobe though, so we recommend stealing that one for yourself, obvs.

• Deluxe Family Room - all the perks of the Family Room, but with an epic sea-view balcony decked with sunbeds, a table and chairs and a Jacuzzi, just to top things off.

• Junior Suite - with an extra large balcony and panoramic sea views. Your Instagram will thank you for staying here.

• Each room at the Delphin Imperial is kitted out with:

  • Air con (of course)

  • Heaps of storage, including a wardrobe with a mirrored sliding door

  • Sofa and coffee table where you can make yourself at home

  • A hairdryer so you can save the luggage space to bring a bottle raki (or two)

  • Daily-refilled minibar with beer (Efes and Becks, of course), soft drinks, chocolates, pretzels and a bottle of red and white wine on arrival (fancy)

  • Tea and coffee facilities, because it's never too hot for a brew

  • An LCD TV to give the Turkish version of Eastenders a watch

  • A safe so no passports will go missing

Food & Drink

• Gusto Restaurant - huge buffet restaurant coming atcha... Hot food, seafood, fast food - it's got it all. There are even gluten-free and veggie options, along with a kid-friendly buffet for the tots and themed dining areas, including an adults-only zone if you don't fancy stepping on chicken nuggets on the way to your table.

• 10 a la carte restaurants* - FREE of charge on the all-inclusive concept, you just need to reserve a table

  • Tequila - it's not a bar, but it does serve super-tasty Mexican food!

  • Zuma - for a Far-Eastern menu that you won't forget

*A la carte restaurants are closed one day per week, and opening times might vary. The Teppanyaki restaurant and Steakhouse are an additional charge.

During the winter period, only two a'la carte restaurants are open.

Sports & Entertainment

• 5 whopping waterslides - if you're looking for a way to cool down, these twisting, turning slides will do the trick

• Main outdoor pool - this place is where all the activities happen, so whether you like to get involved or watch from the sidelines, bag yourself a spot here if you like the action

• Relax pool (age 16+) - open in summer with no kids in sight, this pool is ideal if you're looking to do a bit of breast-stroke without getting disturbed

• Kids' splash pools - decked out with slides and mini cabanas for the young ones (FREE of charge), the little ones will be entertained for hours

Pssst! Don't fancy getting up at the crack of dawn to bag yourself a sunbed? We feel you. Thankfully, sunbed-stealing is off the cards at this place, because the hotel has a strict no-towels-or-belongings-left-unattended-before-8am rule. Enjoy that lie-in.

• Cabanas - you can rent a cabana for the day at the pool or beach with comfy sunbeds, plus drinks and fruit service included in the price!

• Mini club (age 4-12 years) - round up the youngsters for games, cooking lessons, painting and all the rest. They'll even have their very own castle and play area to enjoy.

• Cinema - yep, you did read that right. Ask reception for the timetable to see what kind of movie nights are on the cards.

• Circus-themed games room (extra charge) - bowling lanes, pool tables, air hockey, arcade games (including shoot the hoop - a personal fave) - it's got it all

• Gym (age 15+) - open from 07:00 - 19:30 if you fancy working up a sweat

• Sports activities - oh, this place isn't done with the sports. There's a tennis court, table tennis, darts, bowling, aerobics and water activities

• Spa - it's time for a bit of R&R. You'll be able to soak the stress away in the bubbly Jacuzzi and Cleopatra milk bath, with a massage to finish (extra charge, but well worth it)

• Beach - oh come on. You knew we had to give it a mention. This one's got:

  • Its own pier - decked out with sunbeds and a bar, in case sprawling on the sand is a bit too basic for you

  • Beach bar - because seafront cocktails are always a must

  • All the essentials - including changing rooms, showers, toilets and ramps leading to all the facilities

• Huge entertainment area - from parties to shows, there's never a dull night here

For the New Year's Gala, if the children want to attend the gala hall, you can pay extra at the hotel.
