In Antalya hotels, is half board worth it, or is it better to book breakfast only or all inclusive?

For an all-inclusive stay, the hotel is reported to offer a broad food selection, with different cuisines in the main restaurant and by the beach. The package may include one à la carte restaurant visit; the Turkish restaurant is especially recommended for authentic dishes and service. Gözleme is made near the beach at lunchtime, though queues are usually long.

In some Antalya hotels, themed dining is limited to a Turkish night and one fish dinner per week. There are usually no daily chef’s specials, and the restaurant tends to get special decoration mainly during Turkish public holidays.

A common tip for Antalya is to skip half board, because hotel dinners often aren’t anything special. It’s usually more practical to have breakfast at the hotel and eat dinner in local cafes or canteens without being tied to hotel dining hours.

If you don’t need full board, travelers more often recommend booking breakfast only. It gives you flexibility and means you don’t have to rush back to the hotel for dinner while exploring Antalya.
