Calimera Sunpark Alanya - Former Sunpark Garden Hotel

Calimera has been renovated according to its slightly CGI type promotional images. You can tell it was once a dated hotel but its current aesthetic is modern, fun and clean. Our room was clean and surprisingly had a kitchenette with cupboards, sink and microwave. However on arrival there was no tea and coffee provisions and whilst we had plenty of pool towels provided in the room, we only had one set of white towels. I’m not sure if we and the housekeeping staff were on the same page throughout our stay. What we found a wonderful surprise was the new kids club which has been kitted out well. What was an immediate downside was that no kids were enrolling on the kids club each day so our daughter (who we chose the hotel for) could not enjoy herself at all. We felt sorry for the kids club staff as they clearly wanted to do stuff but couldn’t. We established that we were the only family there on an all inclusive and kids club was extra for everyone else so weren’t bothering when the pools and slides were such a pool. And they were great! Renovated splash pool was lovely, plenty of things going on in main pool and extra slide pool was a great place to spend the afternoon. It included pre school slides which meant our 5 year old could chose which level of slides she wanted to explore. We also chose this hotel due to the free beach shuttle service to their sister hotel. We didn’t realise until the day of going that this is an ADULT ONLY hotel where children were only allowed in certain areas. We were annoyed but happy to accept that, only when we got to the hotel and wanted lunch none of the staff told us the correct information regarding our child which meant that half way through lunch we were informed we were sitting where our daughter wasn’t allowed and after being directed to the toilet inside for her, my husband was promptly marched out and shown to go elsewhere. This did not make Daddy a happy holiday maker. He felt that information throughout the hotels was too hard to come by with any accuracy. However, Calimera staff on hearing our grievances were quick to respond in a helpful way. The Hamman was very traditional in that it was dominated by male staff and had the air of all being very casual. This did not sit well with Mummy! Mummy likes a happy kid in kids club whilst she relaxes in a spa. I had forgotten how unrelaxing Turkish hammans were. But if your after that closer to god body treatment then this hamman is for you. Also my male masseuse did do a great massage, I just perhaps hasn’t prepared my expectations well. Would we go back? I think I’d take a group of my girlfriends there with our kids knowing we could natter whilst they played together - but mumma and papa need to find a more relaxing hotel to stay at. Ps - poolside beds get saved fast.

The hotel is very nice thanks to every body , Golnush merve yasmin they are so lovely

Perfect location for exploring and experiencing Alanya.
Muhammad was amazing with the entertainment and all staff could not do enough for you.
There is always something going on through the day from water polo to water flumes.
Room are clean and beds are comfy. The hotel has a great atmosphere that make you feel relaxed and welcome.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking great family location.

Had a lovely time at Calimera, the hotel was nice and clean and the people were lovely. A good variety of food and swimming pools were clean with slides on one and kids pool with activities. Would defo recommend

We recently stayed at this hotel for 14 nights as a family of four (2 adults, a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old) and overall had a very enjoyable holiday. I would rate the experience 4/5 stars.

The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the staff, who deserve 5/5. Almost everyone we encountered was friendly, attentive, hardworking and genuinely seemed happy to help. The entertainment team, especially Aykan, Mohammed and Eysa, were fantastic. They worked tirelessly from morning until night and played a huge part in making our holiday fun and memorable. The only improvement I would suggest is expanding the entertainment team by at least three more staff members to allow for proper rotation of days off while ensuring there are always activities available for guests.

The bar staff, including Atalay, Ali, Abdullah, Adem and Bilal, were excellent throughout our stay. They kept service running quickly and efficiently, always with a positive and upbeat attitude despite being consistently busy.

One of our favourite memories from the holiday involved one of the servers, Hassan. One morning, while I was playing in the pool with my son and his water pistols, we accidentally sprayed Hassan as he was passing by. Rather than being annoyed, he returned a few moments later with another member of staff and water pistols of their own, and they joined in a water fight with my son. It was such a funny and unexpected moment that had everyone laughing. The fact that the staff took the time to create these special interactions is what made our stay so memorable and really highlights the friendly, family-focused atmosphere throughout the hotel.

Food quality was generally very good. The lunch and dinner buffets offered plenty of variety, with some meals better than others, but there was always something enjoyable to choose from. The BBQ experience was outstanding and absolutely worth the additional cost, creating a memorable evening for our family. The à la carte options were also excellent and provided a great alternative when we wanted something different from the buffet or were looking for food between buffet service times. Special mention should go to Chef Bozhkov and Apo, who were fantastic.
The main area where food fell short was breakfast. The selection was quite limited and repetitive, and many items were often not ready when breakfast service began. The children's breakfast buffet was particularly confusing, with options such as cooked green beans, broccoli, chips and chicken nuggets available at 7:30am, which were not appealing breakfast choices for our children. A wider range of traditional breakfast options for both adults and children would make a significant difference.

The hotel has two main swimming pool areas, both with attached baby pools, which is great for families. However, there was only one lifeguard covering all pool areas. While he was excellent and worked very hard, it is unrealistic to expect one person to supervise multiple pools, maintain safety standards and still have adequate breaks. Additional lifeguards should be employed as a priority.
The reception team, particularly Kubra and Omar, were warm, welcoming and wonderful with children. Our oldest son loved spending time in the reception area because of the calm atmosphere and air conditioning, and the staff always made him feel welcome.
The restaurant staff, cleaners and grounds maintenance team also deserve recognition. They were consistently cheerful, polite and hardworking, helping to keep the hotel clean and running smoothly.

The on-site spa was another highlight of our stay. We booked the Turkish bath experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities were clean, relaxing and well maintained, and the spa staff were incredibly friendly, professional and welcoming throughout. It was a wonderful way to unwind and added an extra touch of luxury to our holiday. I would definitely recommend it to other guests looking to treat themselves during their stay.

The most important improvement would be installing a secure keypad or card-access gate at the hotel entrance. During our stay, we witnessed several occasions where people who did not appear to be hotel guests were able to enter the grounds without being challenged. We also frequently saw children wandering or running towards the road outside, which is quite busy even though it is a side street. For a family-focused hotel, this presents both a security and safety concern. Improving access control at the entrance would help guests feel more secure and provide parents with greater peace of mind.

Around the pools, loose tiles should be repaired and, as mentioned, more lifeguards should be employed.

Finally, it would be beneficial to create an air-conditioned space specifically for children and families during the evenings. While the lobby is comfortable and welcoming, it is not really suitable for larger groups of children and is located close to guest rooms, which may disturb other visitors.

Overall, we had a wonderful family holiday thanks to the incredible staff, good food and drink options and family-friendly atmosphere. With some improvements to safety, breakfast offerings and family facilities, this hotel could easily become a 5-star experience.

After having bad experience at another hotel, we came to Calimer an and were greeted by the staff politely and very welcoming. Our stay here was exceptional and enjoyable. The staff were lovely and welcoming and always there to help out. Food was lovely and plenty of things for the kids to do. Merve and the other animation staff were the best we have seen so far than any other hotel. Will come back and defo recommend

Its a nice hotel. Muhammed is very good person . Eren is a good guy

The hotel is beautiful they have 2 amazing pool there is a night show really awesome for kids the workers are really great and friendly Merve has helped us a lot she’s always have a smile on her face

We really enjoyed our visit. The hotel is clean, the staff is helpful. It’s located in walking distance from the city and the beach. We will be back next year.

Great hotel with friendly staff. Good with children. I would have liked to have more traditional turkish food been offered at dinner. Had a great time with the family! Definitely a place to go back to!Thank you everyone for the great stay!#calimerasunpark

Hotel is lovely because of Muhammed actually he is best fun guy also helpful he’s animation star we love him

We stayed at this lovely hotel for a week in July, the rooms were lovely clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Our room had an amazing view of the mountains and lots of greenery. We celebrated a birthday whilst there and without asking the hotel provided a lovely happy birthday poster on the door. The cleaner also left a lovely birthday display and went above and beyond with our room each day leaving us lovely towel displays, compliments to our cleaner and a big thank you. Also, compliments to the very lovely Golnush who showed is around the facilities and where to find the gym slides etc. Golnush checked in with us everyday and ensured that we had everything we needed, she was so lovely and welcoming which made us feel very comfortable thank you for this. The food in this hotel was very nice 👌 compliments to the amazing chefs they also cook something on the grill each evening the kebabs were definately our favourite, lunch and dinner were very nice with lots of choice, from home made vegetables, different meats each day, salad, to pizza and chips for any fussy eaters. The service and hospitality in this hotel is the best we have exeprienced and is definately 5star! Thanks also to Hasan who was there getting us a drink the minute we sat down to eat. The only down side to this hotel is the lack of entertainment in the evenings however, we ventured out into Alanya where there is plenty to see and do. Thankyou for a lovely experience, I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and would love to stay at this hotel again.

Morgenmaden var overordnet god, man skulle dog komme i den første halvdel af tidsperioden for at være sikker på at have alle valgmuligheder.
Personalet var super hjælpsomme og imødekommende.

Where do we even begin? From the moment we arrived at Calimera Sun Park until the heartbreaking moment we had to leave, every single day was filled with genuine kindness, exceptional service and unforgettable memories. We have travelled to many hotels over the years, but this has honestly been one of the most incredible holidays our family has ever experienced.

After arriving at the hotel at around 3am, we were warmly welcomed by Artem, who immediately made us feel at home. Despite the early hours, he greeted us with a smile, checked us in quickly and personally carried our luggage to our room. After a long journey, this level of care meant so much and set the tone for what would become an unforgettable holiday.

The next day we met the wonderful Golnush, who introduced herself and personally showed us around the hotel. This wasn’t just a quick walk around—it was a thoughtful and detailed tour explaining everything the hotel had to offer, from the spa and gym to the pools, water slides, entertainment programme and family activities. It was such a personal touch that instantly made us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking.

The food throughout our stay was absolutely exceptional. Every meal was fresh, beautifully prepared and full of flavour. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner, there was always an amazing selection, and you could really see the pride and passion the chefs put into every dish.

We would especially like to thank İnan Bulut, who noticed that, as English guests, we enjoy toast with breakfast and happily prepared it for us every morning with a smile. It’s these small acts of kindness that transform a great holiday into a truly memorable one.

A huge thank you also goes to Ece, whose kindness towards our youngest daughter touched us deeply. Whenever our daughter wasn’t keen on something from the buffet, Ece would happily prepare chicken nuggets especially for her without ever making it feel like an inconvenience. As parents, these thoughtful gestures mean the world, and they are something we will never forget.

Every member of the kitchen team was friendly, professional and genuinely passionate about making guests happy.

The bar service was equally outstanding. Bilal, the Bar Manager, is an incredible ambassador for the hotel. He was always visible, always smiling and clearly leads his team with professionalism and pride. Alongside Ali and Hüseyin, every drink was served with warmth, efficiency and genuine hospitality.

The restaurant team also deserves enormous recognition. Kubilay, Hüseyin, Erva and Süleyman consistently went above and beyond every single day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made our children feel so comfortable, welcome and special. Their kindness, energy and constant smiles became one of the highlights of our holiday.

The reception team were exceptional from beginning to end. Every question was answered with patience, every request dealt with quickly and every interaction was warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the names of the two lovely ladies who were usually on reception, but they were absolutely fantastic and are a real credit to the hotel.

The entertainment team, especially Aykan and Eysar, worked tirelessly from morning until night to create an atmosphere full of fun, laughter and happiness. Whether it was activities around the pool or evening entertainment, they made sure both adults and children were involved and enjoying themselves. Their enthusiasm was infectious.

Housekeeping was simply outstanding. Our room was immaculate every single day, and the entire hotel was spotless from morning until night. A very special thank you to Ayşe Aydın, whose attention to detail was absolutely second to none. Her hard work did not go unnoticed, and she deserves huge recognition.

One thing that impressed us more than anything else was the leadership throughout the hotel. We regularly saw the General Manager, Samet, walking around the hotel, speaking with guests, helping his staff and leading by example. It was obvious that this isn’t just a workplace—it’s a family. Every member of staff seemed genuinely happy, proud of what they do and committed to giving guests the best possible holiday. That culture starts from the top, and it truly shows.

The hotel itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean and perfectly maintained. The swimming pools were fantastic, with vigilant lifeguards always ensuring everyone could enjoy themselves safely. The central location is another huge advantage, with Alanya’s historical sites, shops and attractions all within easy walking distance.

One of the best surprises was having access to the sister hotel on Cleopatra Beach. The free shuttle service, complimentary food and drinks, and included sun loungers made for an incredible beach day and added even more value to an already amazing all-inclusive experience.

What makes Calimera Sun Park so special isn’t just the facilities, the food or the location—it’s the people. Every single member of staff, regardless of their role, greeted us with warmth, kindness and genuine smiles every single day. They don’t just do their jobs—they create memories that families will treasure forever.

It is incredibly rare to finish a holiday and genuinely say you have absolutely no complaints whatsoever, but that is exactly how we feel. Every expectation was exceeded, and every member of staff played a part in making our family holiday unforgettable.

To every single member of the Calimera Sun Park team—thank you. You should all be incredibly proud of what you have created. You didn’t just give us a holiday; you gave our family memories that will last a lifetime.

We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will most certainly be returning. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. This hotel truly deserves every one of its five stars.

Gode faciliteter, venligt og imødekommende personale (og rigeligt af det). Gåafstand til centrum, fri transport til stranden inkl. liggestole. Alt i alt god værdi for pengene.
