Eftalia Splash Resort Turkey – An Honest Family Review 2025

If you’re searching for a family-friendly hotel in Turkey, you’ve probably come across the Eftalia hotels in the Alanya region. The group has several resorts known for brilliant pool areas and water slides, making them ideal for families and groups with children of all ages.

We spent seven nights at Eftalia Splash Hotel in July with seven adults and four children (aged 2–9) for a surprise birthday trip. With water slides, all-inclusive dining, and access to the popular Eftalia Island beach complex, it’s often recommended for families. Here’s our honest review of Eftalia Splash Resort Turkey, including what we loved, what could be improved, and helpful tips for your stay.

Eftalia Island Beach Complex

The highlight of our holiday was the free access to Eftalia Island, just a short shuttle ride or ten-minute walk from the hotel. The beachfront complex offers plenty of activities for thrill-seekers.

The water park includes 14 huge adult slides such as Boomerang, Kamikaze and Black Hole, plus two children’s pools with different themes and a lazy river. Even though we visited in the afternoon, we still found sun loungers and the area didn’t feel overcrowded.

You can also return in the evening for entertainment, including a foam party. As part of the all-inclusive package, selected bars and the main food hall offer free food and drinks. There are also extra bars, restaurants, and even a Starbucks available to purchase from.

Things To Do Near Eftalia Splash Resort Alanya

Although lounging by the pool is tempting, the Alanya region is stunning and well worth exploring. Travelling from Eftalia Splash to Alanya Centre takes around 20–30 minutes. You can hop on the local bus near Eftalia Island for less than £1 per person, or take a taxi for £30–40.

Here are my top three things to do:

1. Alanya Cable Car

The cable car starts near Damlataş Beach and ends high above Alanya Castle, offering incredible coastal views. A round-trip ticket costs around 200 TL.

2. Jeep Safari Adventure

This was a brilliant day out. You set off from your hotel and travel by 4×4 into the Taurus Mountains, passing waterfalls, rivers, and small villages. Tours usually cost €20–€25 for adults, with lower prices for children.

3. Dinner With a View

Panoramic restaurants overlook the city, both day and night. We visited Kale Panoramic Restaurant and loved both the setting and food. Although it’s slightly more expensive, it cost about the same as dining near the hotel.

Top Tip: Many restaurants in the centre offer free pick-up and drop-off if you book a meal. Always ask — it’s a comfortable and cost-free way to travel.

Where Can I book Eftalia Hotel Resort Alanya?

I recommend checking several providers to compare prices. We booked through EasyJet for around £800pp for a seven-night all-inclusive stay. There are multiple Eftalia Resorts in the area, all of which have good reviews, you can check them out below. Since multiple Eftalia resorts sit near each other, make sure you know the exact name of your hotel when booking taxis.
