Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort
Maxx Royal Belek is a five-star ultra all-inclusive resort on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, on its own sandy beach at Belek, about 40 minutes from Antalya. Every room is a suite or villa, and the food, premium drinks, children's clubs and most restaurants sit in one price. On site there's a Montgomerie championship golf course, an eleven-slide water park and one of the biggest babies-and-toddlers operations of any Turkish all-inclusive.

Is it worth it?
A quick look at who Maxx Royal Belek suits, what's folded into the price and the facts to skim first.
Maxx Royal Belek is a top-tier all-inclusive, and the price reflects it. Every room is a suite or villa from 80 m² up, most restaurants and all the premium drinks are included, and each guest gets a Maxx Assistant, a personal concierge who arranges bookings and requests. For families the standout is the children's provision: a Smiling Babies programme from age one, clubs through to the teens, a water park and a large Maxxiland complex. It's a big, activity-packed resort rather than a small quiet one, so the trade-offs are the walking distances, the entertainment that carries into the evening near some rooms and a handful of surcharges on top of the all-inclusive rate. You'll get the most from it if you'd otherwise pay out for good dinners, childcare and a lot to keep children busy.
Best for
You want everything included at a real luxury level, a big children's operation from age one, golf and a water park on site, and you'd happily spend most of the week without leaving the resort.
Maybe not for
You're travelling with a baby under one, you want a small intimate hotel, or you need quiet evenings close to the pool and beach where the entertainment runs late.
Best ages
One and up. Smiling Babies starts at one, there are clubs through to the teens and a water park for older children. Under-ones aren't covered by the programme, so contact the resort first.
What stands out
Every suite starts at 80 m², the food runs well beyond a buffet, and each guest gets a Maxx Assistant to sort bookings and requests.
What to check
The airport transfer for suite guests, the room's distance from the entertainment and the water park dates if you're travelling in the shoulder season.
Where is it?
On its own beach at Belek on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, about 40 minutes east of Antalya airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
The layout, how the all-inclusive works and what getting around is like with young children.
Maxx Royal Belek is large, closer to a small village than a single hotel. Most suites sit in the main building, a grand marble-and-chandelier affair, with standalone villas set among the pine gardens. The site runs from the beach and its jetty at the southern end, past the pools, the entertainment zones and the Maxxiland family complex, up to the Montgomerie golf course at the north. It opened in 2011, so it's well established rather than brand new, and it's a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. It's part of Maxx Royal Hotels & Resorts, the Turkish chain whose sister resorts are at Kemer and Bodrum, with a Maldives property announced. The resort also runs a sustainability programme of bike tours, recycling and other measures.
From the moment you book you're given a Maxx Assistant, a personal concierge who handles restaurant reservations, activity bookings and any requests during your stay. At a resort this size, having one named contact is something guests single out.
What Maxx Inclusive covers
In the price: three meals a day at the buffet and most à la carte restaurants, 24-hour dining, premium branded spirits and cocktails at every bar, the minibar restocked daily, the Maxxiland children's clubs, the gym and fitness classes, non-motorised watersports, the Cobra Kingdom water park in season and the evening entertainment.
Costs extra: golf green fees, the Bishoku and Bueno Steak House restaurants, Gastro, spa treatments, motorised watersports, babysitting and a private airport transfer for suite guests.
Being this big has a downside with young children. The walk from the villa end to the beach, or from the family complex to the main restaurant, is several minutes, which is tiring with a toddler and beach bags. The ground is generally flat and manageable with a pushchair, with no cliff or steps down to the sand, though it's worth checking your route with the resort if step-free access matters to you. There's no general buggy shuttle ferrying all guests around; the campus is walkable. The one buggy transfer is for golfers, between the hotel and the separate course.
Every restaurant and bar
The buffet, the included à la carte rooms, the surcharge ones, how the children eat and how booking works.
Food is one of the resort's strengths, and most of it is included. The Azure is the main buffet, a large hall with themed live cooking stations for Turkish, Italian and seafood dishes and a stage, the Azure Court, that performs during dinner. There's a children's dining area within it. The food is rated well above a standard all-inclusive buffet, though the space is big enough that some find it cavernous, and the stage adds energy along with noise. Twenty4 is the 24-hour à la carte restaurant, included and open around the clock, which is a real help with a baby who eats at odd hours. Seavore, the Mediterranean seafood restaurant, is the one guests praise most and the table to reserve early.
The table below lists the sit-down restaurants with their cuisine and whether they cost extra.
| Restaurant | Cuisine | Cost and booking |
|---|---|---|
| The Azure | Buffet with live cooking stations | Included, no booking |
| Twenty4 | International à la carte, 24 hours | Included, walk-in |
| Seavore | Mediterranean seafood | Included, reserve early |
| Kalamatas | Mediterranean and Greek | Included, book dinner |
| Safraan | Anatolian | Included, book dinner |
| Bishoku | Japanese and teppanyaki | Surcharge, reservation |
| Bueno Steak House | Steakhouse, 28-day aged beef | Surcharge, reservation |
| Gastro by Alfredo Russo | Fine dining, ages 12 and over | Surcharge, reservation |
| Royal Villa Restaurant | Dining at the golf clubhouse | Villa guests free for breakfast and lunch; dinner a surcharge for all |
| Maxxiland Restaurant | Children's meals | Included |
Two à la carte restaurants carry a surcharge and need booking: Bishoku for Japanese and teppanyaki, and Bueno Steak House for its 28-day aged beef. Kalamatas (Mediterranean and Greek) and Safraan (Anatolian) are included and just need a dinner reservation. Gastro by Alfredo Russo is the fine-dining restaurant, up in the golf clubhouse, open to guests aged twelve and over for a surcharge and by reservation. Its menus are developed with the Italian chef Alfredo Russo, who holds a Michelin star at his own restaurant in Italy; the star is his, not the resort's kitchen, so it's a guest-chef collaboration rather than a starred hotel restaurant. The Royal Villa Restaurant at the clubhouse is complimentary for villa guests at breakfast and lunch, with dinner a surcharge for everyone; non-villa guests can use its snack menu by buying a green-fee ticket.
For something sweet or a snack, the Chocolatier makes handmade truffles and bonbons with Callebaut chocolate, Le Melange is the patisserie for eclairs, macarons and croissants, and there's a Mövenpick ice cream parlour, all included. Aqua Snack serves the poolside, and Fruity is the daytime fruit bar.
Children eat well here. The Maxxiland Restaurant serves child-friendly meals inside the kids' complex, and the Azure buffet has its own children's dining area. The HIPP baby-food range is stocked in the restaurants, with blenders for making up fresh purées.
One recurring theme in reviews is noise. The Azure Court stage during dinner and the beach parties at Tangerine carry into the late evening, and rooms in the nearest blocks hear it. If your baby sleeps lightly or naps early, ask to be placed away from the entertainment when you book.
The bars
Drinks are part of Maxx Inclusive across roughly fourteen or fifteen bars, all pouring premium branded spirits and properly made cocktails. The Jay Lounge Bar runs 24 hours with a refined cocktail menu, the Royal Horse Bar has live music in the evenings, and the Tangerine Beach Club is the daytime beach bar that turns into the resort's main evening spot with DJs and beach parties. There's a Lobby Bar, the Sunlit Beach bar down on the sand, the Ryder Bar over at the golf clubhouse and a bar in the Game In bowling zone.
How restaurant booking works
Most restaurants are included with no surcharge, and your Maxx Assistant handles the reservations. Seavore is the one to book early, as it's the most in-demand table. Bishoku, Bueno Steak House and Gastro carry a surcharge and need booking; the rest of the à la carte rooms are included and just need a dinner reservation. Twenty4 and the Azure buffet take walk-ins, so they're the no-booking fallbacks with a hungry toddler.
Rooms and suites
Every suite and villa with its official size, the pools across the resort and the private beach below.
Every room here is a suite or a villa; there are no standard hotel rooms, and the smallest category is a generous 80 m². The table below lists every type with its official size and how many it sleeps. The guidance after it is which ones suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Suite or villa | Size | Sleeps | View or layout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suite Land View | 80 m² | 3 adults + 1 child + 1 baby | One bedroom, Jacuzzi bath, balcony, land view |
| Suite Sea View | 80 m² | 3 adults + 1 child + 1 baby | One bedroom, Jacuzzi bath, balcony, sea view |
| Terrace Family Suite | 100 m² | 4 adults + 1 child + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, terrace house, 2 balconies (one with a Jacuzzi) |
| Terrace Laguna Family Suite | 100 m² | 4 adults + 1 child + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, lagoon-pool terrace |
| Family Suite Land View | 100 m² | 5 adults + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, two WCs, two bathrooms |
| Family Suite Sea View | 100 m² | 5 adults + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, two WCs, two bathrooms, sea view |
| Family Suite Roof Land View | 140 m² | 6 adults + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, two WCs, two Jacuzzi balconies |
| Family Suite Roof Sea View | 140 m² | 6 adults + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, two WCs, two Jacuzzi balconies, sea view |
| Laguna Duplex Suite | 135 m² | 6 adults + 1 baby | Two storeys, relax-pool access |
| Royal Suite, 1 bedroom | 100 m² | 3 adults + 1 child + 1 baby | Sea view, Jacuzzi |
| Royal Deluxe Suite, 2 bedrooms | 170 m² | 6 adults + 1 baby | Two bedrooms, sea view |
| King Suite | 220 m² | 6 adults + 1 baby | In-room sauna and Jacuzzi |
| Albatross Villa, 2 bedrooms | 350 m² | 7 guests | Private pool, kitchen, sauna, steam bath, butler |
| Albatross Villa, 3 bedrooms | 425 m² | 10 guests | Private pool, kitchen, butler |
| Presidential Villa | 630 m² | 12 guests | Private pool, helicopter option |
| Owner Villa | 630 m² | 12 guests | Private pool, butler |
The 80 m² Suite is a single-bedroom room, fine for two parents with a baby in a cot but tight once a toddler needs a separate space. For that, the two-bedroom Family Suites at 100 m² are the practical family choice, with two bathrooms so a child can sleep undisturbed while you use the living space. The strongest booking for a baby or toddler is the Terrace Laguna Family Suite: two bedrooms and a terrace opening straight onto a lagoon pool, so you can watch the children from your own space. The 140 m² Roof Family Suites suit larger groups, up to six adults, and the villas, from 350 m² up, add a private pool, kitchen and butler for big family gatherings.
Every suite comes with a fragrance and pillow menu, a Nespresso set-up, an evening turndown with handmade chocolate, a fruit platter, a balcony sunbed and Acqua di Parma toiletries, with Bottega Veneta products in the family suites. Villas add a private butler, a complimentary VIP airport transfer on stays of four nights or more and Elite Lounge access at the airport; the Presidential Villa includes a helicopter transfer option on stays of seven nights or more. One child up to and including age two stays free using an available cot, with a maximum of one cot per room.
Housekeeping earns consistent praise. A minority of guests note some cosmetic wear in the older parts of the main building since the 2011 opening, so if that matters you can ask about a recently refreshed suite when you book.
Pools and water features
There are around nine pool areas, so there's always somewhere quieter to sit. The Main Pool by the beach is the social hub, with a swim-up bar and water around 1.4 metres. The Maldives Pool is ringed by palms and white sand. A separate Deep Pool for adults runs to 2 metres and opens 8am to 8pm for swimmers and diving. The Lagoon Pool sits away from the noise for a calmer swim, with a quieter adults' pool (16 and over) alongside it, and a heated outdoor seawater pool at around 1.4 metres extends the season.
For children there are three shallow pools, all around 40cm: a heated indoor children's pool open all year, an outdoor children's pool for terrace-suite guests, and, for those same guests, a private terrace pool at around 1.6 metres. The heated indoor pool is useful for a rainy day, an early-season trip or an escape from the July heat with a toddler. Inside the spa there's an indoor thermal pool that all guests can use without booking a treatment.
The Maxxiland Toddler Water Area is a separate shallow zone, around 40cm, with a little pirate ship and splash features for the youngest children. The big draw for older ones is Cobra Kingdom, an on-site water park with eleven slides, included in the price and open seasonally, roughly April to October, with one heated pool and a slide kept running year-round. Height limits apply on many of the slides, which are aimed at older children and adults, and there are separate shallow areas for younger ones. If the slides are a priority and you're travelling outside the summer, check the current dates before you book.
The beach
The beach is 300 metres of fine private sand backed by pines, with calm, clear Mediterranean water and a jetty running out from the shore. It's right by the resort with no road to cross and no cliff or steps, so you can reach it at ground level with a pushchair. Villa guests have a separate VIP section; the main beach is for everyone and reviewers describe it as roomy rather than crowded, with plenty of loungers. The jetty has private cabanas for an extra charge, and the Sunlit Beach and Tangerine bars serve drinks and refreshments down on the sand.
The water is calm and shelves gradually, which suits small children paddling. Non-motorised watersports are included, windsurfing, canoeing, catamaran sailing and kayaking; the motorised ones, parasailing, jet ski, banana boat, water skiing and surfing, cost extra.
Babies and toddlers
The Smiling Babies programme, the baby kit, the clubs by age and everything that fills a family day.
This is where Maxx Royal Belek stands apart from a lot of Turkish all-inclusives. The Smiling Babies programme, for ages one to three, has its own baby sleeping room, playroom and garden, with age-appropriate activities and a camera system so you can look in on a sleeping baby from your room. Babies under one aren't covered by the programme, so if you're travelling with a younger baby, contact the resort before you book to talk through what care they can arrange, as some may be available.
The baby kit is thorough: a cot delivered to the room, a baby bath, a bottle warmer, a steriliser, a monitor, a high chair, a potty, a pushchair, a night light and a feeding corner, plus baby bathrobes and slippers for children up to twelve. The HIPP baby-food range is stocked in the restaurants, with blenders for fresh purées. Confirm the exact kit when you book. Babysitting is available through Smiling Babies for ages one to three; there's a charge but no set rate, so arrange it in advance with your Maxx Assistant.
The Maxxiland complex runs all year and splits by age: a Mini Club for fours to sevens with its own courses, games and activities; a Junior Club for eights to twelves with a cinema, playground, children's pool, mini disco and competitions; and a Young Royals Club for older children and teenagers with DJ workshops, laser tag, a games room and non-alcoholic cocktail making. The Game In Fun Club adds video games, simulators, four-lane bowling and VR laser tag. In peak season the clubs run late into the evening, Smiling Babies until around midnight and the older clubs until around 2am, so parents can have a proper night out; confirm the current hours when you book.
Outdoors there's Dinoland, with ten life-size animated dinosaurs and a photo corner that toddlers enjoy, an Adventure Park with zip lines and climbing walls for older children, a Mini Luna play area for younger ones and archery.
On resortThings to do
The Montgomerie Maxx Royal is an 18-hole championship course designed by Colin Montgomerie, host of the Turkish Airlines Open on the European Tour in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019 and played by names like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka. The course is a member of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) and has been named Best Golf Club at the Golfers' Choice Awards, which also ranks it among the top 100 golf resorts in Europe, with a floodlit back nine, a driving range and a clubhouse over the 18th. Green fees and buggy hire are the one big thing not in Maxx Inclusive, and the course sits apart from the hotel with a buggy transfer to reach it; you can use the driving range and clubhouse without a green fee. If you're planning to play, a specialist golf operator usually packages the rounds for less than paying green fees directly.
Beyond golf there are tennis courts and an academy with equipment provided, padel, two FIFA-standard football pitches, a basketball court and a fitness studio with classes from yoga and Pilates to Zumba, CrossFit and TRX, all included. Bikes are free, with guided cycling tours of the area, and there are walking trails, a four-lane bowling hall, laser tag, ping pong, darts and mini golf. Helicopter tours over the coast and Anatolia can be arranged for an extra charge. Evenings bring nightly shows, live music and concerts, dancers and acrobats in summer and beach parties at the Tangerine Beach Club, with live music at the Royal Horse Bar.
The Aven Royal Spa is one of Turkey's largest hotel spas, 3,000 m² with 25 treatment rooms. All guests can use its two hammams, saunas, steam room, snow cabin, tepidarium, indoor thermal pool, exfoliation rooms and a solarium without booking a treatment. Treatments cost extra and run from massages, facials and body treatments to Ayurveda and medical therapies, using product lines like Biologique Recherche, Phytomer and St Barth; there's a spa suite with double treatment rooms and Jacuzzis. Treatments are aimed at adults, so check the age requirements if they're for a teenager.
Off resortThe area and days out
Belek is a purpose-built resort zone rather than an old town, and its centre is about half a mile (1 km) away, so most families spend the week on-site. A car isn't needed for a resort-based stay but helps for days out, and there's car rental on site, with the Maxx Assistant able to arrange excursions.
Close by, Troy Aqua Park and its dolphinarium are about 4 miles (7 km) away, and the Land of Legends theme and water park at Kadriye is Turkey's largest, a full day out. For history, the Roman theatre at Aspendos, still used for performances, is about 12 miles (19 km) east, and the ancient city of Perge is about 11 miles (17 km). Antalya, about 22 to 25 miles (35 to 40 km) west and 35 to 45 minutes by road, has the old town of Kaleici, a Roman harbour and one of the world's largest tunnel aquariums. Further afield, Side sits about 40 miles (65 km) east with its Temple of Apollo and amphitheatre, and the Kursunlu Waterfall nature park makes a gentle outing. Golfers have two more courses nearby, the Faldo course about 2 miles (3 km) away and Kaya Eagles about 6 miles (9 km).
Loves and gripes
What guests rate and what frustrated them, how it compares, the journey in, the weather and the practical bits.
Drawn from many family reviews rather than a stay of our own, here's the consensus on both sides. Maxx Royal Belek sits at the top of Belek's TripAdvisor ranking, number one of more than a hundred hotels, with a rating of around 4 out of 5 from more than 13,000 reviews. Other platforms rate it even higher: icastelli.net has it at 9.4 out of 10 from 180 verified reviews, Booking.com sits around 9.3 to 9.4, all-inclusive-guide.com scores it 9.1 out of 10 and the family-travel platform Little Guest Collection gives it 4.9 out of 5. It also holds a 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award as one of the Best of the Best, the distinction TripAdvisor gives its top 1% of properties worldwide.
What families love
- Baby and toddler provision families rate among the best of any Turkish all-inclusive.
- The Maxx Assistant, a named concierge who sorts bookings and requests.
- Maxxiland, from the children's restaurant to the cinema, bowling and Adventure Park.
- The food, well beyond a buffet, with Seavore singled out and two 24-hour options.
- The private beach, clean and rarely crowded.
- The size of the suites and villas.
- Premium branded spirits and properly made cocktails at every bar.
- The children's pools, including the heated indoor one for year-round swimming.
Common gripes
- Entertainment and beach-party noise reaching the nearest rooms late into the evening, the most common complaint.
- The surcharges on Bishoku and Bueno Steak House, which sit oddly with an ultra all-inclusive rate.
- Some cosmetic wear in the older main-building rooms, though housekeeping is praised.
- The scale, with long walks between the furthest points, awkward with young children.
- Golf green fees, a real extra for golfing families.
- The water park being seasonal, so closed outside roughly April to October.
- The Azure buffet hall feeling cavernous to some, despite the food.
How it compares
Within Belek, the resort most often set against Maxx Royal is Regnum Carya, which has better-landscaped grounds and quieter evenings; Maxx Royal has bigger suites, the Maxx Assistant service and a stronger winter offering, and for families the bigger difference is its baby and toddler provision. ELA Excellence is the value alternative with a baby club from birth, which matters if yours is under one, where Maxx Royal starts at one; set against that, Maxx Royal has the edge on suite size and dining breadth. Rixos Premium is larger and louder, with included entry to Land of Legends as its family headline, while Maxx Royal leads on baby provision and quality per square metre. Cornelia Diamond is cheaper with two golf courses but sits below Maxx Royal on dining, entertainment and service.
Against the resorts elsewhere on this site, Maxx Royal is a different country and a bigger, more activity-packed all-inclusive. The closest European comparison is Ikos in Greece, which shares the suite-only, Michelin-chef, personal-concierge approach; Martinhal in Portugal goes deeper for the youngest babies, from six months, and has a Blue Flag beach. The choice comes down mostly to which country you'd rather visit.
From the airportGetting there and when to go
The nearest airport is Antalya International (AYT), about 40 minutes away by road, a little more or less with traffic, covering roughly 21 to 26 miles (34 to 42 km). Suite guests arrange a private transfer for a fee, so ask your Maxx Assistant to set it up and confirm the cost when you book rather than sorting it on arrival. Villa guests staying four nights or more get a complimentary VIP transfer, and Presidential Villa guests on seven nights or more can opt for a roughly 15-minute helicopter transfer. Every guest gets Fast Track through the airport on international return flights, and villa and King Suite guests staying four nights or more get Elite Lounge access.
Check-in is from 2pm and check-out is typically noon, though it's worth confirming with the resort. Parking on site is free and there's free Wi-Fi throughout. There's no official minimum stay, but operators usually sell seven or fourteen nights; bookings go direct with the resort (reservations +90 242 444 62 99) or through a tour operator. With young children, the best months are May and June or September and October, warm enough to swim without the intensity of midsummer, with good sea temperatures and fewer crowds.
When to goWeather in Belek
Belek has a hot, dry summer and a mild, much wetter winter, and the resort stays open all year. July and August regularly hit 34 to 35°C, which is a lot for a baby who overheats easily, so the air-conditioned indoor pool and Maxxiland areas are worth having then. Almost all the rain falls between October and April, with December the wettest month, while July and August are all but dry. The table below shows the picture month by month.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 15.5° | 5.5° | 222 mm | 11 | 19° |
| February | 16.5° | 6.5° | 131 mm | 8 | 17° |
| March | 18.5° | 8° | 94 mm | 6 | 17° |
| April | 22° | 11° | 47 mm | 4 | 18° |
| May | 27° | 16° | 36 mm | 3 | 22° |
| June | 32° | 20° | 7 mm | 1 | 25° |
| July | 35.5° | 23.5° | 2 mm | 0 | 28° |
| August | 35° | 23.5° | 1 mm | 0 | 29° |
| September | 31.5° | 20° | 31 mm | 2 | 29° |
| October | 27.5° | 15.5° | 115 mm | 5 | 26° |
| November | 22° | 10.5° | 107 mm | 6 | 24° |
| December | 17° | 7.5° | 225 mm | 8 | 21° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort is open all year, and May to October is the warm, dry family season.
On safety, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel only within 10km of the Turkish-Syrian border, hundreds of miles from Belek; Antalya and the Belek coast carry no such warning. Check the latest advice before you travel.
Health, supplies and accessPractical information
There's no UK-brand pharmacy on site, so bring enough of any medicine your child takes, along with familiar sun cream, nappies and wipes; UK brands aren't reliably stocked locally, though your Maxx Assistant can help source things. Turkish pharmacies, marked eczane, are common in Belek and Antalya and carry the usual over-the-counter medicines under different brand names.
The main building has a lift and there are facilities for guests with disabilities. Rooms are allocated by the resort rather than chosen on arrival, so register any preference through your Maxx Assistant at the booking stage, bearing in mind the final placement is theirs. Pets aren't allowed.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Can we come with a baby under one?
Yes. Smiling Babies runs from age one, so supervised club care for a younger baby isn't automatic. Raise it with the resort at the booking stage and ask what they can put in place, since care for a baby under one is arranged case by case rather than as a set programme.
Is the airport transfer included?
Only for villa guests staying four nights or more, who get a VIP transfer as standard. In a suite you pay for the private transfer separately, so treat it as a line in your budget and settle the cost at the booking stage rather than on arrival.
Will entertainment noise reach the room?
It can, in the blocks closest to the main pool and the beach club, where the music runs late. The fix is to flag a quiet location when you book, so it's on your file before rooms are assigned; you won't be choosing the room yourself on the day.
Does the resort have a Michelin-starred restaurant?
No. Gastro's menus are developed with the Michelin-starred chef Alfredo Russo, but his star is held at his own restaurant in Italy, not here. Treat it as a guest-chef fine-dining room, book ahead and note it's for ages twelve and up with a surcharge.
Will the water park be open when we go?
The full slide park runs roughly April to October, so a midsummer trip is covered. Outside those months you're down to the one heated pool and single slide that stay open all year, and the exact dates shift year to year, so ask the resort to confirm them if you're booking a shoulder-season week and the slides matter.
Can we get a babysitter for an evening out?
Yes, for ages one to three through the Smiling Babies team, booked via your Maxx Assistant. There's a charge rather than a set rate you can look up, so ask the current price and reserve a sitter ahead of the night. For a child over three, check what's on offer first, as that isn't spelt out.
Is the golf included?
No. Green fees and buggy hire cost extra on top of Maxx Inclusive, and the course sits apart from the hotel with a buggy transfer to reach it. It only affects you if someone's going to play, though; non-golfing families pay nothing towards it and can still use the driving range and clubhouse.
Is there a minimum stay?
The resort itself sets none. Package operators tend to sell it in seven or fourteen night blocks, so for a shorter break you'd book direct or ask an operator to price it, remembering a few perks like the villa VIP transfer only start at four nights.
