Driver's note on Sun Star Resort Hotel: An all-inclusive resort in Kestel, east of Alanya, with outdoor pools, water slides and a private tunnel running under the coast road to its sand-and-shingle beach.
The ride from Sun Star Resort Hotel
A park day from Kestel is a proper expedition rather than a quick hop, and it is worth planning as such. The car comes to the hotel entrance on the highway side, the bags go straight into the boot, and the road runs west past Alanya and along the coast towards Serik before the Kadriye turn for The Land of Legends. That is 105 km and 95 to 115 minutes each way, so a family leaving after breakfast is at the gates in good time and still has the whole day in front of them.
Distance is also why a fixed fare matters here more than it would from a Belek hotel. Ours is agreed before the car leaves Kestel and does not move afterwards: from €120 for a Mercedes Vito carrying up to six, €150 for an eight-seat minivan, priced for the vehicle rather than by the head, and identical on the way home. There is no meter running while you queue for the coaster, no surcharge for a late finish, and you hand the driver cash in euros, dollars or lira at the end of the day.
Sun Star Resort has outdoor pools, water slides, a children's pool and an indoor pool, and its beach sits across the coast road through a private tunnel, so the park's aquapark will not come as a surprise. Swim things, towels and reef shoes are worth bringing, and the Vito has room for a buggy, a cool bag and everything damp on the return leg. Seats and boosters for children cost nothing and go in before the car turns off the coast road at Kestel, so send the ages over on WhatsApp; a drive of this length is no place for a child on a lap.
Where the car waits at Sun Star Resort
The driver turns off the coast road into the entrance on the landward side and holds a name-board there, not down on the sand, which guests reach through the tunnel beneath the highway. Give your room name when you book and send a WhatsApp message as you finish breakfast so the car is in place by the time you reach the lobby. Bags can be loaded under the canopy, so nobody carries a cool bag out to the highway and nobody crosses the road with children.
Making the distance from Kestel worth it
From this end of the coast the park is a full day out, not an afternoon, so treat it that way. Leaving after breakfast puts you at the turnstiles with the morning ahead of you, and staying for the free evening show on Shopping Avenue turns the drive into a day rather than a dash. Inside the gates the Hyper Coaster and the rides carry the morning, and the aquapark opens for the warm months. Take water and a hat, since the queues are in the open.
The run home along the coast
The drive back to Kestel is the same 105 km and 95 to 115 minutes, mostly after dark if you stay for the finale, and children usually sleep through the last stretch of it. That is a good reason to have the child seats properly fitted rather than improvised at the gate. The car is air-conditioned and the fare was agreed before you left, so a slow stretch through Alanya costs nothing extra. Keep a jumper and the wet swim bag somewhere findable, and let the driver know on WhatsApp if you want a stop on the way.
Night-show tip: Shopping Avenue is free to walk, and the parade, the dancing fountains and the castle finale all take place there without a park ticket, so a family can leave the hotel later in the day and still see the evening. Send a WhatsApp as the finale ends; the wait costs nothing, and about 15 minutes later, once the crowd has thinned, the car is at the gate for the long coastal run back to Kestel.
Pickup: At Sun Star Resort the driver waits at the main entrance on the coast road side, name-board in hand, not on the beach through the tunnel. Wait in the lobby and come out when the driver messages you.
A typical Land of Legends day from Sun Star Resort Hotel
- Breakfast at Sun Star Resort, then a WhatsApp message to the driver
- The car waits at the entrance on the coast road side; load the swim bags
- West past Alanya and along the coast towards the Kadriye turn
- Arrive at The Land of Legends and start with the rides before the queues build
- Lunch, then the aquapark through the afternoon
- Dinner on Shopping Avenue, the night show, then WhatsApp the driver for the run back to Kestel
Practical tips
- Leave after breakfast, as the 105 km from Kestel means an early car buys you the whole morning at the park.
- Pack swim things and a change of clothes, as the aquapark is part of the day in the warm months.
- Shopping Avenue and its night show are free to walk, so the evening costs nothing beyond dinner.
- Bring notes in euros, dollars or lira for the driver, since the car carries no card machine and hunting for an ATM wastes park time.
- Give the children's ages on WhatsApp so the right seats and boosters are in the car before it reaches Kestel.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Sun Star Resort to The Land of Legends?
The fare is fixed for the vehicle, not by the head: from €120 for a Mercedes Vito taking up to six and €150 for a minivan taking up to eight. The return to Kestel is the same, paid to the driver in cash in euros, dollars or lira, with no meter and no evening supplement.
How far is The Land of Legends from Kestel, and how long does it take?
The run is 105 km, and 95 to 115 minutes each way. The car leaves the coast road at Kestel, runs west past Alanya and on towards Serik before turning off for Kadriye. Summer traffic can stretch the drive, which is another reason the fare is agreed before you set out rather than clocked up on the road.
Can we have child seats for the drive from Sun Star Resort?
Yes, at no charge. Baby seats, child seats and boosters all go in before the car turns into the hotel entrance, so tell us how old the children are at the time of booking. On a run of this length the seats matter, and a Vito or minivan still leaves space for a buggy, a cool bag and wet swim things from the aquapark.
Is a park ticket needed for the evening show?
No. The parade, the dancing fountains and the castle finale all take place on Shopping Avenue, which is free to walk, so you can see the evening without buying entry to the rides. A ticket is only needed to go through the turnstiles for the coasters and the aquapark inside the park itself.
Does the driver stay on while we watch the finale?
Yes, and the wait costs nothing extra. There is no finish time to fix in advance either: send a WhatsApp message when the show ends and the car pulls up about 15 minutes later, once the gates have cleared, for the drive back to Kestel. We work 24/7, so a late finish is routine.
