Is Megasaray WestBeach Antalya a good choice for a family holiday with a 10-year-old?

The hotel can work for families if water slides are not a priority: there are no slides at the pool, and the children’s activity programme is relatively low-key rather than packed with games and attractions.

All-inclusive food is a strong point at Megasaray WestBeach: breakfast includes porridge, pancakes, eggs, cheese, vegetables and fruit, while lunch and dinner offer chicken, beef, turkey, fish and vegetable dishes. Look for the freshly baked simit and açma in the morning, and pide later in the day.

The private beach is across the road and very small: sunbeds are packed tightly together and were reportedly gone by 7:30 am in September, so arriving before about 7:00 am is advisable. The sea is easy to enter, with fine pebbles and usually no need for water shoes; when beach beds are unavailable, use the pool area or the public beach.

This is an urban Konyaaltı hotel rather than a large resort complex: rooms may look worn despite regular cleaning, and sea-view rooms can be affected by loud music from about 8:30 pm to 11 pm. Families with early-sleeping children should request a quieter room location.
