The Hilton at Turkbuku is the upscale family option on the northern peninsula, a big 490-room resort cascading down landscaped terraces to a sheltered, shallow bay that is genuinely good for young children. It pairs polish, four outdoor pools including one with water slides and a strong kids club with a family buffet section and a quieter adults area. Golturkbuku is chic and calm, a smarter, gentler alternative to the busier southern resorts.
Our verdict
The pick for families who want a smarter, calmer resort with a genuinely safe shallow bay, and will pay for polish. Great with babies and young children if you do not mind the terraces.
The rooms
Smart, spacious rooms and suites terraced down a green hillside to the sea, most with a balcony and sea view. Family rooms and connecting options sleep four, and the calmer upper terraces suit families with a baby.

Parents also ask
Is the bay really safe for young children?
Yes, it is sheltered and shallow with wooden entry terraces, one of the gentler spots on the peninsula for first swims.
Are the terraces hard work with a pram?
The resort is built down a steep hillside with steps and lifts. Request a lower terrace room to shorten the walk to the beach and pools.
Is there an adults-only area?
There is a quieter adults section alongside the family areas and a family buffet, so you get both calm and kid-friendly spaces.
