Club Med Palmiye, Antalya, Turkey

This trip was all about quality and fun with my friends. As a Club Med Specialist, I was rewarded with a trip out to Turkey along with 2 friends of my choice. And what a choice I made - my best friend and my sister. And we had a blast without the kids!

Set against the backdrop of Mount Taurus, right by Antalya, this holiday resort has everything from watersports activities to spa sessions to quiet walks along a spectacular expanse of beach. This is an ideal family destination with something for everyone from 4 months old!

The bungalows sit in the shade of a pine grove and the hotel looks out onto the Mediterranean. There is also the Zen Adult-Only areas - two complementary atmospheres for this great resort.

How do they manage to please so many people? From single adults in the Zen areas, to families in the kids play zones, there really is a place for everyone and every mood. They have thought of everything too, even having a baby room so that if your little one is upset in the night, you can go to the room and make some food or play.

As an adult you can party on into the night if you choose. Fantastic! And the food...we ate all day! Breakfast then on to coffee and cakes, lunch, pancakes and tea then an evening meal that lasted for hours.

You don't have to worry about all of the food you're eating as you have a gym, exercise classes, paddle boarding, archery, sailing, circus skills and lots more! I did it all but you could quite as easily sit yourself in one of two Zen pools and relax.

I was so impressed by Palmiye and the standard of the resort, and I highly recommend the Club Med concept to everyone, you will never call anywhere else 'all-inclusive' again!
