Some hotels simply tick the boxes. The Grand Ring does more than that. Spread across 20,000 sqm of grounds between pine trees and turquoise water in Beldibi, this Turkish five-star takes its all-inclusive promise seriously: meals around the clock, local alcoholic drinks until 2 AM, four pools, and a private beach reached through an underground tunnel. Antalya airport is 45 km away and Kemer is 10 km, but once you settle in, leaving feels less necessary than you might expect.

Arrival

Your transfer from Antalya International Airport is included in your package, so you step into the lobby without haggling over a taxi fare. The front desk runs 24 hours a day, and a French-speaking representative is on site to welcome you, including at a dedicated information meeting we strongly recommend attending. That is where you learn how the hotel actually works, what to do in the area, and how to make the most of your stay. The 301 rooms are split between the five-floor main building and an annex. Standard rooms measure 28 sqm and come with a double bed or twin beds, a sofa bed for up to three adults and one child, a balcony, central air conditioning, a satellite LCD TV, a safe, and a shower bathroom with hairdryer. Wi-Fi is free throughout the room. The minibar and direct phone line are available at an extra cost. Three accessible rooms are available on request, subject to availability.

Dining, all included

The main restaurant serves Turkish and international cuisine in buffet format. Breakfast runs from 7:30 AM, with a late breakfast slot until 10:30 AM. Lunch is served from 12:30 to 2:30 PM, dinner from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. In between, a snack service runs from noon to 11:30 PM, ice cream and pastries are available from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and a night snack is served from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Hunger at any hour of the day or night is genuinely hard to achieve here. The all-inclusive formula covers local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM across five outlets: the lobby bar (10:00 AM to 2:00 AM), the pool bar (10:00 AM to midnight), the beach bar (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM), the disco bar (11:30 PM to 2:00 AM), and the vitamin bar (9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, soft drinks only within the base formula). Fresh fruit juices, imported beverages, some cocktails, and bottled drinks are not included. An à la carte restaurant is available at an extra charge and by reservation, offering Mexican cuisine or fish depending on the day, as scheduled by the hotel. We invite you to verify the exact all-inclusive inclusions directly with the Grand Ring Hotel, as details may vary by season and room type.

Days by the water

Water is genuinely everywhere at the Grand Ring. Outside, two pools are available, one of which features three water slides, plus two dedicated children's pools. Indoors, two more pools keep you swimming regardless of the weather, including one for children. Sun loungers, parasols, and beach towels are provided. The private beach is accessed through a tunnel, which means no road crossing with children and a quietly adventurous feeling on the way down. A beach bar stays open until 5:00 PM. Activities on offer include gymnastics, aerobics, step, table tennis, darts, archery, and water and land games, all supervised by an international animation team. The international mini-club welcomes children aged 4 to 12 from 10:00 AM to noon and from 2:00 to 6:00 PM, giving parents two proper windows of free time each day. The spa centre offers a sauna, hammam, and whirlpool baths. A fitness room is also on site. Massages and treatments are available at an additional cost.

Evening vibes

As the sun drops over the Antalya coastline, the Grand Ring shifts gear. The international animation team runs evening entertainment, before the disco bar takes over from 11:30 PM until 2:00 AM for those who want to keep going. The lobby bar also stays open until 2:00 AM, making it easy to end the night with a quiet local drink without watching the bill.

Who is it for?

The Grand Ring is built for families who want everything sorted in advance. Children have dedicated pools, a mini-club, and water slides clearly designed with them in mind. Couples and groups of friends are equally well served by the generous bar hours, the disco, and the range of daytime sports activities. Seniors will appreciate the on-call doctor, the baby-sitting service available on request, the outdoor parking, and the overall level of organisation that leaves little room for unpleasant surprises. The French-speaking representative on site is a genuine comfort for travellers who prefer not to navigate a foreign destination entirely on their own.
