Some hotels are chosen for their location, others for their formula. The Aydinbey Gold Dreams ticks both boxes at once. Sitting on the turquoise coastline of Alanya with 345 rooms renovated in 2021, this resort exudes a warm and relaxed atmosphere, the kind that makes you want to never leave. From the 24-hour reception onward, the warm tones of the common areas set the mood: this is a place to unwind, soak up the sun, eat well, and do it all over again. The sea is within sight, and a private beach is within easy reach via a convenient underpass.

Arrival

Rooms are standard, measuring 22 m², but thoughtfully arranged. Laminate flooring adds warmth, the décor leans into sandy and honey tones, and every room comes with a balcony to catch the morning sea air. Each room sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children, making them a solid base for families and couples alike. The mini-bar is restocked daily with bottled water, a safe keeps your valuables secure, air conditioning keeps the heat at bay, and in-room wifi is included at no extra charge. A return transfer between Antalya International Airport and the hotel is included in the package. On arrival, a French-speaking representative holds an information meeting that covers the hotel's facilities, services, and local activities. It's a genuinely useful briefing and worth attending, especially for first-time visitors to the area.

Dining, all included

The Ultra All-Inclusive formula at Aydinbey Gold Dreams is structured around a generous rhythm. Breakfast runs from 7:00 to 11:00, with a late breakfast slot for slow starters. Lunch buffet is served from 12:30 to 14:30, followed by an ice cream service from 14:30 to 16:30. The main dinner buffet runs from 19:00 to 21:00, and for night owls, a late-night buffet is available from 23:30 to 01:00. No one goes to bed hungry. Between main meals, two snack restaurants, the Beach Snack Restaurant and the Kingdom Snack Restaurant, operate from 12:00 to 16:00. Five bars cover the resort: the Wonder Lobby Bar, Pool Bar, Beach Bar, Dream Lobby Bar, and the Kingdom Bar, which stays open around the clock. Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus select imported brands, are included in the formula. Fresh fruit juices and certain specific beverages fall outside the inclusion, which is worth keeping in mind. From June 1st to September 15th, three à la carte restaurants open in the evenings by reservation, from 19:00 to 21:00: Fish A'la Carte for seafood specialities, BBQ A'la Carte for grilled meats, and Italian A'la Carte for a Mediterranean touch. One à la carte dinner is complimentary per stay, with additional visits charged as a supplement. We recommend verifying the exact inclusions of your all-inclusive offer directly with the hotel or your booking agent, as details may vary by period and room type.

Days by the water

Six pools, including one indoor pool and two dedicated children's pools, give the Aydinbey Gold Dreams a strong aquatic backbone. Water slides add a reliable source of excitement for younger guests, while organised pool games keep the afternoons lively for those who want to join in. Sun loungers, parasols, and beach towels are provided, so mornings start with minimal fuss. Note that the indoor pool is only heated during winter months, so summer guests will naturally gravitate toward the outdoor basins. The private beach is reached through an underpass beneath the road, a simple and safe arrangement that makes the most of the hotel's seafront position. The Beach Bar keeps refreshments flowing until 17:00. On the activity front, table tennis, darts, gymnastics, and aerobics are all available throughout the day. Water sports are accessible at the resort but come at an additional cost.

Evening vibes

As the sun drops over the bay, the resort shifts gear. The amphitheatre hosts nightly shows, ranging from dance performances to themed evenings depending on the programme. The lobby bars carry the atmosphere well into the night in a more relaxed setting, and the Kingdom Bar, open around the clock, is there for those who aren't ready to call it a night. The late-night buffet from 23:30 to 01:00 is a genuine bonus for guests who like to make the most of their evenings.

Who is it for?

The Aydinbey Gold Dreams is built with families in mind. The mini club welcomes children aged 4 to 12, with both indoor and outdoor dedicated pools plus a play area. Parents can carve out time at the spa, between the sauna, hammam, and fitness room, while children are kept entertained and supervised. Spa treatments and massages are available at an additional cost. Couples and seniors will also feel at home, thanks to the variety of spaces that prevent any sense of overcrowding. The location, 20 km from Alanya city centre and 100 km from Antalya Airport, suits those who prefer to stay within the resort as much as those who want to venture out. Car rental is available on site at an additional charge for day trips into the region.
