Antalya Airport to Royal Alhambra Palace Hotel by private car
Once you are through to arrivals at Antalya Airport, the journey to Royal Alhambra Palace Hotel is a single private drive to Çolaklı. The hotel is about 65 km away, and the drive normally takes 55 to 70 minutes. A driver holding your name on a board is waiting as you come out, and the car carries only the people in your booking. There is no transfer desk to queue at and no coach to wait for, just the drive to the hotel.
Before pickup we agree the price with you on WhatsApp, and it is fixed for the vehicle, not the headcount. The Mercedes Vito, for up to six passengers, is from €55, and larger parties can book the eight-seat minivan at €60. There is no prepayment, and you give the driver cash in EUR, USD or TRY when you arrive at the hotel. Should your plans change, the booking can be cancelled at no cost up to 4 hours before pickup.
Royal Alhambra Palace Hotel has pools and an aquapark, plus an amusement park. If you are travelling with children, just tell us each child's age when you book and free child seats will be fitted. Families of up to six travel in the Mercedes Vito, and the eight-seat minivan at €60 is there for bigger parties. The fare stays the same however many seats you fill.
Your flight is tracked from the number you give us, so the pickup moves if the arrival time does. You also get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing for passport checks and luggage. Whatever time you land, the fare stays the same 24/7, with no night surcharge. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and takes you to the car.
Royal Alhambra Palace Hotel has à la carte restaurants for Italian, Mexican, Far Eastern, Turkish and fish cuisine, which are chargeable and need a reservation. Its spa has a Turkish bath, sauna and jacuzzi that are free for guests, with an age limit for the Turkish bath and sauna. For the return to Antalya Airport, message us on WhatsApp and we set a pickup at the hotel for the same fixed fare, paid in cash as before. A transfer to Land of Legends in Kadriye can be quoted in the same chat.
Meeting the driver inside the arrivals hall
Your driver is inside the arrivals hall with a board showing your name, so there is no searching along the kerb. Delays are handled through flight tracking, and 60 minutes of waiting after landing come free. From the hall you go to the car and then on to Çolaklı. WhatsApp is open 24/7 if you need to tell us about a change.
Vito or minivan for a Çolaklı stay
For a group of up to six, the Mercedes Vito from €55 is the vehicle to book. The eight-seat minivan, at €60, is for larger groups. You pay once for the vehicle, so extra passengers do not raise the fare. Mention your luggage and any child seats when you book, and we will confirm everything on WhatsApp.
After a late flight
A late landing is no reason to worry about the cost, because the price is identical at any hour. Your driver is still in the arrivals hall when a flight lands in the small hours, and the 60 minutes of free waiting apply as usual. Payment is in cash when you reach the hotel, with nothing taken beforehand. Should your trip change, you can cancel for free up to 4 hours before pickup.
