Bottom Line

The 457-room Royal Wings Hotel is an upscale, all-inclusive property featuring one of the largest swimming pools in Lara, a popular resort destination a 20-minute drive from Antalya Airport. With sleek contemporary architecture and well-presented gardens, it's one of the better looking hotels in the area, while also featuring a great range of facilities and entertainment for all ages, including a water park and a fun fair. Rooms are bright and spacious, with private balconies or terraces, though the free Wi-Fi is a bit spotty. While the all-inclusive rate covers most food and drinks at the array of on-site restaurants and bars, expect to pay for plenty of extras -- a more comprehensive plan can be found at the nearby Delphin Imperial Hotel.

Royal Wings Hotel

Scene

Sleek and creative architecture set on 18 acres of impressive gardens

A playful allusion to the hotel's name, visitors first pass under a winged front gate onto a palm-lined driveway that sits alongside a colorful on-site aqua park to arrive at the imposing facade of the Royal Wings Hotel. A crowned portico marks the main entrance under which a large revolving door ushers guests into the impressive reception area where smart contemporary furnishings are neatly arranged on polished wood and stone floors around a wing-shaped atrium that soars up to a dazzling skylight. An oval central atrium also bathed in natural light has sleek glass elevators that ferry guests to one of 10 floors. Opened in 2005, the property maintains sharp, 21st-century styling throughout while its smart modern architecture extends to a cleverly designed -- and enormous -- pool area that flows around 18 acres of gardens. These meticulously arranged landscaped grounds also lead directly to the hotel's private sandy beach overlooking the Mediterranean sea.

Location

Just east of Antalya and a 20-minute drive to the airport

The hotel is located in the district of Lara set between a long stretch of sandy beach and 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's not much in the way of restaurants and bars beyond those on-site. The location does makes for easy access to Antalya Airport, which can be reached in around 20 minutes by car, while downtown Antalya takes about a half-hour.

Rooms

Bright rooms open to furnished balconies, some with sea views

The hotel has 457 rooms, all of which are bright and modern with carpeted floors and sliding doors that open onto furnished terraces or balconies, some of which offer lovely sea views. Many have color palettes of teal, beige, and cream. All rooms are air-conditioned (though some complain the units are not strong enough) and come with minibars (restocked daily with soft drinks, beer, and water), flat-screen TVs with some satellite channels, and free Wi-Fi, though there are reports of poor service. Suites also come with living rooms and in-room whirlpool tubs, while Duplex Family Rooms are spread over two floors with two separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Some guests have complained about beds being too firm.

Features

Water-based facilities include huge swimming pool and on-site aqua park, plus plenty of restaurants and bars

The hotel's main central feature is the huge pool that winds through the hotel's gardens -- at over 40,000 square feet it's one of the largest in the region. Other impressive water-based facilities include an on-site aqua park with various slides and flumes, as well as a wave pool, kids' splash pools, and a lazy river (though most are closed during the winter). A heated indoor pool is open during the winter, while the spa -- offering Turkish bath, sauna, and a range of massage treatments -- is open all year. Child-friendly facilities include a mini-club and even a small fun fair with a ferris wheel and carousel.

Most of the dining takes place at the main buffet restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while there's also four a la carte eateries covering seafood, Asian, and Italian fare. There are a wide range of bars that include a healthy juice bar, disco bar, and beach bar. Day and nighttime entertainment is generally good quality and involves games, live music, and some cabaret.
