Service Tripadvisor named the winning hotels of its annual Travelers Choice awards in various categories and regions of the world for 2022, the winners of which are determined by the reviews of tourists. A dozen winners among Turkish hotels in the all-inclusive category have also been determined. We found out how much tours to these hotels from Russia cost, and whether they are available.
In total, according to the latest data, there are 18,142 hotels in Turkey with a total capacity of 2,006,151 beds. The country's seaside resorts have developed an all-inclusive system in various variations.
In the Best All Inclusive Hotels category of the annual Tripadvisor Awards, there is a separate selection for Turkey. Recall that the award is “people's”, that is, getting into prizes is determined not by the “rank” of the hotel as such, but by the reviews and ratings of the tourists themselves on Tripadvisor.
On the one hand, this is subjective (not everyone leaves reviews, especially on the English-language platform), on the other hand, objects that would otherwise be “overwritten” by more promoted competitors can suddenly break into such a rating. Therefore, in the top ten best hotels in Turkey with the all-inclusive system of the 2022 version, there were also surprises – hotels relatively little known to Russians, which are just very highly rated by “Western” tourists.
We note immediately some “one-sidedness” of the rating Western service: among the dozens of Turkish hotels with All Inclusive, six are on the Aegean coast, and only 4 are in the resorts of Antalya. Of course, this does not mean that “the best hotels are on the Aegean coast.” It's just that there are more often Western (English and German) tourists who leave reviews on Tripadivsor more often.
Unfortunately, some of the winners of the rating either did not sign contracts with Russian tour operators this season, or places in them were sold out for the whole autumn (tours could not be found), but the names are still worth remembering for the future. But we will not start with them, but with those available from our tour operators.

HOTELS TO LOOK AT NEXT SEASON
The five in Alanya (Injekum) – the Pegasos Royal 5* hotel, which is on the 6th place in the rating, does not work with Russian tour operators this year.
There are no prices for tours in September on the websites tour operators, nor on online aggregators. But in past seasons, the hotel was very popular, especially among family tourists (there is an excellent beach and aqua complex, quality food).
Let's hope it can be booked next year. In the meantime, it is not possible to find places in this hotel in September even on Western online hotel aggregators.
Tour operators have no tours in September this year and in a high-class hotel located on 7th place in the Tripadvisor rating – Robinson Sarigerme Park 5* (Sarigerme, Aegean coast of Turkey).
However, the Robinson network is historically focused on European tourists. The service here is of a high level, the territory is very beautiful, the food is excellent. On Western aggregators, however, you can find the price of accommodation (without a flight) for two from September 1 to September 10 – from 208,274 rubles. Strong>Monachus Hotel & Spa 4* (Side, Antalya coast). A very small “European” hotel on the first line, the beach is across the road, there are two swimming pools, a fan park (a water park, a joint territory with the Commodore Elite hotel). A typical tourist review: “Do not look that 4 *, the hotel is 5+.”
Monachus Hotel & Spa 4*
The hotel is in the catalogs of Russian tour operators, but not only there are no tour packages for September and October, you cannot buy a place in a hotel without a flight on online aggregators. But this hotel should not be too expensive.
Finally, the TUI MAGIC LIFE Sarigerme 5* hotel on the Aegean coast of Turkey closes the top ten best all-inclusive hotels in Turkey according to Tripadvisor users . A fairly well-known “five”, a “bungalow” type hotel with a large territory in a beautiful area, with an emphasis on various activities and sports.
