The hotel can be visited on an “all-inclusive Plus” basis, which includes your daily buffet-style breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks from the main restaurant.
Snacks are available every day from 12pm to 4am, while you can get drinks between 9am and 11pm.
You’ll also receive one à la carte dinner, and the mini bar is refilled daily with beer, soft drinks, and water.
Although the beach is only a mile away and has a free shuttle service to take you there, the hotel also has three artificial beaches.

The artificial beaches have also been modelled after some of the most famous hotspots in the world.
“Miami Beach” has its wave pool, while “Palm Beach” is designed to be all about the kids, and “Maldive Beach” is an adult-only paradise.
But the main attraction at Granada Luxury Belek is the pool area, as it boasts seven outdoor pools, two for adults and two for kids.
The “Wonderland” waterpark is set over a massive freshwater pool with slides, lazy rivers, family rafting and kamikaze.

If that’s too much, there’s also a splash park for younger kids, which features a wave pool, water jets, tipping buckets, and sprinklers.
The adult-only sections have a freshwater pool with inflatables and a nearby bar.
