The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel
The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel sits inside its own theme and water park at Kadriye, near Belek on Turkey's Antalya coast. It's a themed, family-first hotel where a stay includes unlimited walk-in access to the whole park, so the rides, the Aqua Land slides and the Masha and the Bear characters are all a few steps from your room. Families come for that direct park access, the brightly themed rooms and an all-in board that folds the park entrance into the price.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who it suits, what the price includes and the facts to weigh first.
The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel is built for families who want a theme-park holiday rather than a beach one. Its defining feature is that guests walk straight into the whole Land of Legends park, unlimited and included, throughout the stay, where every other hotel in the complex shuttles guests in. That comes with a trade-off: it's a large, spread-out site, with real walking distances between the hotel building and the park's pools and food points, and there's no beach of its own. Beach access is a privilege rather than a standard inclusion, open to stays of three nights or more via a shuttle to the group's Rixos Premium Belek, booked a day ahead.
Reviews are strong, with a 9.3 out of 10 on Booking.com and repeated, specific praise for staff who go out of their way with children. The gaps worth knowing are around the very youngest: there's no baby-equipment loan scheme, so it reads as a hotel for the theme-park age range more than a baby specialist.
Best for
You want a theme park and water park on the doorstep with no shuttle, brightly themed family rooms and an all-in board with the park entrance included.
Maybe not for
You want a beach holiday, since there's no beach here, or flat, short distances with a pushchair across the site.
Best ages
Toddlers upwards who can enjoy the splash zones and smaller rides. Most water slides need a child to be 120 cm or taller.
What stands out
Walk-in access to the whole park throughout the stay, included, with no shuttle to catch.
What to check
The second-child charge at booking, and the kids' club age range and hours, which aren't listed.
Where is it?
Inland at Kadriye near Belek, on Turkey's Antalya coast, around 20 to 35 minutes from Antalya airport.
Quick facts for families
What the hotel is like
Where it sits, how the site is laid out and what the direct park access means for getting around.
Kingdom Hotel sits at Kadriye, part of Belek's purpose-built belt of golf and resort hotels on Antalya's coastal plain, inland rather than on the coast. What sets it apart from every other hotel in the group's Antalya portfolio is where it's built: directly inside the Land of Legends theme park, so guests walk straight from the hotel into the park with no shuttle.
This is a large, spread-out site, and the hotel's own eating and drinking is split between venues inside the building and six further kiosks dotted around the park itself, so there are real walking distances to cover between the hotel and the park's pools and food points. Families with very young children mention the same thing: it can be a fair walk back to the room for lunch or a nap and out to the action again. It's the direct trade-off for having the whole park included and on the doorstep.
The hotel has 401 rooms. The standard Deluxe rooms come in two colour-coded themes, Blue and Pink, chosen to suit families with children; you can guarantee a theme for an extra nightly fee, otherwise it's assigned on availability. The suites are theme-independent, in a plainer modern style. The building runs to at least a lower level, Floor B, where the main restaurant sits, with the guest floors above.
Corporately the hotel is part of the Rixos group and can be booked through rixos.com, now within Accor's All Inclusive Collection and its ALL loyalty programme, though it's marketed under the Land of Legends name rather than the Rixos one. For the wider region, its beaches and seasons, see our Turkish Riviera guide.
Every restaurant and bar
The hotel's own venues, the free kiosks around the park and the paid restaurants beyond the board.
The hotel's All-In board covers an unusual spread: two proper restaurants and two bars inside the hotel, plus six free food-and-drink kiosks dotted around the theme park for Kingdom Hotel guests. Beyond that, six paid à la carte restaurants sit elsewhere in the complex, open to guests here for a charge.
Eternia is the main restaurant, on the lower Floor B, an open buffet of world and Turkish dishes with dedicated vegan and vegetarian sections. It runs year-round, and it's the venue that covers lunch through the winter when the park's own buffet is closed. Breakfast is served from 07:00, with lunch, an afternoon patisserie and dinner from 19:00.
Mungo is the second buffet, inside the park at Tropic Lagoon opposite the Turtle Coaster, open in summer only for lunch between 12:30 and 16:00. In winter Eternia takes over lunch.
Nyssa Bar is inside the hotel near reception, with a PlayStation area for children alongside, open 08:00 to midnight. The Legends Pub, also inside the hotel, is French in style with sports on the screens and live music at set times, and it's open around the clock.
Around the park itself are six Kingdom Point kiosks, free for Kingdom Hotel guests only and open roughly 10:00 to 17:00 depending on the season: Ice Point Cafe at the Adventure Land entrance, La Plancha Bar by the Aqua Land activity pool, Shaky Cool at the South Gates, the Terrace Bar in Tropic Lagoon, the Tropical Bar by the wave pool and the Vista Cafe by the Typhoon Coaster. Several serve local beer, wine by the glass and spirits, not just soft drinks.
Six paid à la carte restaurants, the complex's shared Fine Dine venues, sit in Shopping Avenue: Nemo, Asil, Piazzetta Italiana, Mykorini, Ava and Ala Akşam, spanning Asian and European, Middle Eastern mezze, Italian, Greek, Latin American and charcoal-grilled meats. They're open to Kingdom Hotel guests for a charge rather than as part of the All-In board, and each is booked by phone.
How the board works
The All-In board includes entrance to the Land of Legends theme park. Paid extras inside the park, from Fast Track to the dolphin experiences and shopping, are billed separately during the stay rather than added automatically. The minibar is refilled daily with soft drinks and snacks, with a same-day extra refill chargeable. There are dedicated vegan and vegetarian buffet sections but no separate gluten-free or lactose-free buffet area; Guest Relations records allergies at check-in and uses separately prepared special orders to avoid cross-contamination.
The rooms, every type
Every room category with its official size, the hotel's single pool, the park's Aqua Land and the beach that isn't there.
There are eight room and suite categories, plus a named accessible room. Most guests stay in a Deluxe room; the suites offer more space and different layouts, up to the two-bedroom Kingdom Suite. The table below is the full line-up with the official sizes; the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Room | Size | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room, Double Bed | 38 m² | Up to 3 |
| Deluxe Room with Two Kids | 38 m² | Up to 4 |
| Deluxe Connecting Rooms | 156 m² (two 78 m² rooms) | Up to 6 |
| Junior Suite | 79 m² | Up to 5 |
| Family Suite | 83 m² | Up to 5 |
| Grand Suite | 108 m² | Up to 4 |
| Terrace Suite | 130 m² | Up to 4 |
| Kingdom Suite | 283 m² | Up to 6 |
| Deluxe Room, Accessible | 38 m² | Not published |
Every room has a balcony. The standard rooms are the Deluxe categories, all 38 m². The Deluxe Room, Double Bed sleeps up to three, with a dual TV that shows two channels at once, a PlayStation, free WiFi and free access to Aqua Land, and connecting rooms can be requested if you want two joined together. The Deluxe Room with Two Kids is the same footprint bedded for a family and sleeps up to four. Neither has a separate sleeping area, which is worth weighing against a toddler's nap routine. For a door you can close on a sleeping baby without stepping up to a full suite, the separate Deluxe Connecting Rooms category gives two rooms already linked, 156 m² combined, sleeping up to six, with a king plus two singles, child-friendly furniture and a projector for the PlayStation.
The suites range from the Junior Suite and Family Suite, at 79 and 83 m², through the Grand Suite, 108 m² with a separate living area, balcony, dual TV and PlayStation, and the Terrace Suite, 130 m² with the same separate living area and balcony, up to the 283 m² Kingdom Suite, the only category with two full bedrooms and the one that suits a larger group or grandparents travelling along.
Rooms come in the two colour-coded themes, Blue and Pink, both boldly done rather than subdued. Cots and extra beds are available on request and need to be confirmed by the hotel. There's no named baby-equipment loan scheme for a steriliser, bottle warmer, baby bath or the like, which several of Belek's family resorts do offer, so a family that relies on borrowed kit should plan to bring or hire it.
One thing to confirm at booking is the children's charge, since three official statements don't fully line up. The Deluxe room category's own terms allow one child aged up to 11.99 and one infant up to 2.99 to stay free alongside two adults. The hotel's general terms say much the same elsewhere: a first child under 12 stays free on existing bedding, with a second child aged 3 to 12 charged 25% a night for an extra bed. The Deluxe Room with Two Kids, though, is marketed with two free children up to age 12 and no charge mentioned. The first two statements read consistently together; the third, on the room built for a two-child family, promises more than the general terms suggest. Confirm the actual second-child charge with the hotel or your agent when you book, rather than assuming either reading. Quoted prices include the 10% VAT and 2% accommodation tax.
Pools and water features
The hotel names a single pool of its own: an indoor pool, heated year-round, free to use and suitable for adults and children. In practice most pool time happens in the theme park's water park, Aqua Land, included free through the hotel's park access, so this isn't a resort with its own spread of outdoor pools.
Aqua Land has 41 slides. The park's outdoor pools aren't heated, so outside peak summer they can be hard for children to enjoy, and the hotel's heated indoor pool is the only warm-water option. The park's pools carry official depths: the Wave Shock Pool runs from nothing to 200 cm, the sea-water Infinity Pool is 140 cm, the Activity Pool nothing to 140 cm and the Wave Ball Pool in Tropic Lagoon nothing to 160 cm, with the Float Rider and Jacuzzi at 50 cm and the Wild River and Lazy Floats at 110 cm. Sea water is used in the Infinity Pool and the marine-animal habitats; the general pools are freshwater.
For the youngest, Adventure Land's Toddler ball pool has a stated height rule of 130 cm to use alone or 85 cm with a parent, and Aqua Land's Kids Play is a young children's slide area. Swim nappies are required in the children's pools and can be bought on-site; life jackets are available, and rafts and mats are provided free at the slides that need them.
The beach
Kingdom Hotel has no beach of its own. It sits inland at Kadriye, and beach time is a privilege tied to the length of your stay rather than a standard inclusion. A stay of three nights or more unlocks complimentary access to the beach and sea facilities of the group's Rixos Premium Belek, a private Blue Flag beach, reached by a complimentary shuttle that must be booked at least a day ahead. A shorter stay carries no confirmed beach access through any official channel, and it's a short shuttle ride rather than a walk-out, spontaneous beach visit.
Belek's wider beaches form one of the Mediterranean's most important loggerhead turtle nesting stretches, with protected beaches closed at night, roughly 20:00 to 08:00, from May to September.
Babies and toddlers
The kids' club, the in-room Masha visit and the practical baby gaps.
Kingdom Club is the hotel's kids' club, for children staying at Kingdom Hotel only. It's described as fully supervised, with daily activities and a set of named spaces including a Baby Room, a slide playground, art, woodworking and ceramics workshops and a Lego corner. Its age range and opening hours aren't listed, so if you need to know the ages it takes or when it runs, contact the hotel directly. A Baby Room is among those named spaces, though without any detail on the ages it serves or its staffing.
A useful touch for a family with a toddler is the Masha and the Bear Meet & Greet, which takes place in your own room on Tuesdays and Fridays, once per stay and booked a day ahead, in one of two ten-minute slots between 18:00 and 18:30. It avoids queuing with a tired toddler at the end of the day. A Character Breakfast is also named among the hotel's activities.
Babysitting is available on request, with no age range, hours or cost listed, so confirm those when you arrange it. Weaning food isn't something the hotel confirms, so check directly before you travel if it matters, and be ready to bring your own. Baby-care and nappy-changing rooms are dotted through the park and in the Shopping Avenue toilets, reachable via park access, though none inside the hotel building itself.
There's no pram rental anywhere in the complex, so families bring their own; an independent service, Babonbo, delivers baby kit around the Belek and Antalya area if you'd rather not. For a grandparent or older relative joining on a day ticket, the park counts a child under 4 as an infant, free of charge, with a free Baby Card available at the ticket office for ages 0 to 3. Any under-18 travelling without a parent or guardian needs a notarised consent form.
In the park and at the hotelThings to do
The whole theme park comes with the stay. Its lands are Adventure Land, Aqua Land, Tropic Lagoon, the Masha and the Bear Land of Laughter, Nickelodeon Land (open since March 2025, with PAW Patrol, SpongeBob and a 5D cinema) and Dolphin Land, and one park pass through your stay covers all of them and the shows.
On age fit, be realistic: most of the water slides need a child to be 120 cm or taller, and parents of three-to-five-year-olds report there's little for a true toddler beyond the splash zones. What does work for younger children is the Kids Play and Toddler ball pool splash zones, the Masha and the Bear land and Nickelodeon Land's smaller rides. The big rides, named ones like the Turtle Coaster, Hyper Coaster and Typhoon Coaster, are for older children; Fast Track, a paid queue-priority wristband and free in some stay packages, is explicitly not recommended for children under 120 cm.
Dolphin Land has a free dolphin show with park access, plus a paid Dolphin Meet & Greet and Dolphin Paddle and Swim for ages 8 and over. The published age rule for the Meet & Greet starts at 4, with 4-to-7s accompanied by a parent and 8s and over able to attend alone. Dolphinarium welfare is a long-standing concern well beyond this park, worth being aware of when you decide whether to take it in.
Practical park rules worth knowing: no outside food or drink; payment inside runs on a wristband top-up; there's a lost-child wristband scheme; lockers are paid; WiFi, sunbeds and umbrellas are free, and so are towels for hotel guests; glasses need a strap and aren't allowed on slides; pregnant guests are advised off the rides. Zone hours vary and shift by season, with Nickelodeon Land tending to stay open late, to around 22:00, and Adventure Land closing earlier, around 19:00.
At the hotel itself there's a fitness centre, an arcade and PlayStation and Xbox zone, and a hair salon doing cuts, styling, manicures and waxing. Anjana Spa is the hotel's own smaller spa, with massages, a Turkish hammam, sauna, steam room, hairdressing, skin and body care treatments and women-only and mixed hammam sessions, all chargeable; a Little Legends Package is named among its services without further detail. A teen club is listed as a facility, again without a published age range or hours.
In Shopping Avenue, open 10:00 to midnight in summer and to 22:00 in winter, two shows are free and suit all ages: the Chimera Fountain Show, roughly three minutes, on the hour through the evening, and the Musical Boat Parade at 22:00, about 45 minutes on the canal. Guests of Kingdom Hotel get 5 to 20% off more than 40 named brands in the Land of Legends Mall via a personal code given at check-in, and a Hands Free Shopping service holds the day's purchases at a pickup point for Kingdom Hotel guests to collect together, with room delivery also available. Some perks are bundled into stay-length packages booked only through the app or the Land of Legends site: the Legendary Stay 4 Nights (Fast Track, the Masha Meet & Greet, a photo shoot and the Rixos Premium Belek beach privilege), the 5 Nights version (adding a Dolphin Meet & Greet and a canal tour) and a Legendary Birthday package.
The area and days out
Kadriye sits in Belek's belt of resort hotels, with pine forest behind and the livelier package towns further along the coast. Belek town centre, with a Tuesday bazaar, is about 4 miles (7 km) away, and Antalya city is roughly 21 miles (33 to 35 km), 45 to 60 minutes by road.
For a day out, the area has plenty for families: the Antalya Aquarium at Konyaaltı, with its long tunnel and a Snow World novelty, Sandland's sand sculptures at Lara, the flat and free Lower Düden Waterfall, Antalya's old town of Kaleiçi and Aktur Park, a traditional pay-per-ride funfair. For the wider region see our Turkish Riviera guide.
Loves and gripes
What guests rate and what frustrated them, how it stacks up against its neighbours, the journey in and the weather by month.
Booking.com scores the hotel 9.3 out of 10, with high marks for cleanliness, comfort, facilities, location and staff, and value a little lower at 8.8. The review picture is family-heavy and largely warm.
What families love
- Staff named repeatedly and specifically by reviewers for going out of their way with children, among them Tenzile, Halil, Ceylan and Hayrettin.
- The children's provision, singled out again and again.
- Room size and the themed decor, with twice-daily housekeeping and a daily minibar refill.
- The included park access, especially valued off-peak when queues are short.
- A fast WhatsApp guest-service channel.
- Cleanliness across the rooms and public areas.
Common gripes
- The buffet turning repetitive on stays of five nights or more.
- The park's outdoor pools being unheated outside peak summer.
- Real walking distances across the site.
- Practical logistics poorly communicated, from the beach shuttle to the wristband system and show times.
- Occasional crowding at breakfast and dinner.
- A handful of single-stay complaints: a pricey pre-arranged airport transfer, one reviewer's experience of staff with limited English, one mention of construction noise and one of broken sockets, none confirmed as an ongoing pattern.
- For a family travelling with a baby, the absent extras: no baby-kit loan scheme, no listed kids'-club ages or hours and no beach of its own.
How it compares
Against Rixos Premium Belek, the same group's beachfront hotel: Rixos Premium has its own 700 m Blue Flag beach, an ultra all-inclusive board and a fully documented kids' club, the Rixy Kids Club for ages 4 to 12, but no park on-site, so it shuttles guests in. Kingdom Hotel is inland with no beach but walk-out park access. For a beach holiday Rixos Premium is the stronger fit; for the theme park itself Kingdom Hotel's direct access is unique in the complex. Our Rixos Premium Belek guide covers it in full.
Against Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya, a sister hotel in the same complex with the same walk-in park access: it's themed around Nickelodeon characters and runs a Fullboard+ board, where Kingdom Hotel has its Masha-flavoured theme and All-In board. The choice between the two is largely theme and board rather than location.
Against the wider Belek luxury-family tier, the likes of Maxx Royal, ELA, Lara Barut and Calista: those hotels publish named baby-kit loan schemes and age-banded baby clubs with staff ratios. Kingdom Hotel is a strongly reviewed hotel that families rate highly for the theme-park age range, but it isn't positioned as a baby specialist the way those neighbours are.
From the airportGetting there and when to go
Antalya airport is the nearest, around 20 to 35 minutes away by road depending on traffic, roughly 17 miles (27 km). There's no hotel airport shuttle, so transport is arranged separately, and the hotel's reservations team is the contact for setting it up. Parking on-site is free, and the wider complex has a car-wash service and EV charging points, shared across all the hotels rather than exclusive to Kingdom Hotel. Check-in is at 14:00, check-out at 12:00.
There's no blanket minimum stay, but the length of your stay unlocks perks rather than being a booking rule: three nights or more for the Rixos Premium Belek beach privilege, four for the Legendary Stay package, five or more to add the Dolphin Meet & Greet and canal tour.
The hotel and park appear to run year-round, with the outdoor water park and some outdoor food venues closing or scaling back over winter while the heated indoor pool and the spa stay open. For families, June and September are the pick of the season: warm without the extreme heat, a comfortable sea and lower rainfall than the months either side. July and August are very hot here, in the mid-30s by day, so air conditioning is essential and midday shade a must.
For UK passport holders, Turkey needs no visa for tourism stays of up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport valid at least 150 days beyond arrival and a blank page. Current FCDO advice affects only a strip within 10 km of the Turkey-Syria border, hundreds of kilometres from the Antalya coast. The EHIC and GHIC aren't valid in Turkey, as there's no UK-Turkey reciprocal healthcare deal, so travel insurance is effectively essential.
When to goWeather
The figures below are long-term averages for this coast and cover the main season. Winter, from December to March, is meaningfully cooler and wetter, with December the wettest month, which is when families rely on the heated indoor pool and Anjana Spa.
| 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.
Accessibility and getting around
The hotel confirms a named accessible room category, the Deluxe Room, Accessible at 38 m². The count, the floors they're on and their in-room fittings aren't listed, so confirm the detail you need with the hotel before booking.
The theme park is better documented. Its pathways are described as designed for wheelchair and buggy access, and specially designed wheelchairs are free for some activities. An Accessible Adventure programme offers ticket discounts on a disability ID, route planning and an accessibility map.
What isn't documented is whether the hotel's own grounds are flat and step-free. Given the real walking distances across the site, it's worth confirming the terrain directly, or checking recent photos, if you're travelling with a heavy travel system.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Are two children really free in the Deluxe Room with Two Kids?
The room is marketed that way, but the hotel’s general terms charge a second child aged 3 to 12, and the two don’t reconcile. Get the actual second-child charge confirmed by the hotel or your agent before you book, rather than assuming the free reading.
Is there any beach access on a short stay?
Only from three nights. A stay of two nights or fewer has no confirmed beach access, so if the beach matters, book at least three nights, or look at the group’s beachfront Rixos Premium Belek instead.
Can we book babysitting for an evening out?
Yes, it’s available on request, so arrange it through Guest Relations once you’re there or ask before you travel. Its ages and cost aren’t listed, so pin both down when you book it rather than assuming a young baby is covered.
What ages does the kids’ club take?
Kingdom Club’s admission ages and hours aren’t listed, so treat them as an unknown at booking and get them in writing if childcare is part of your plan. Don’t read the accommodation age bands used for pricing, a child under 12 and an infant under 3, as the club’s ages; those are a billing category, not who it admits.
How do we get from the airport?
There’s no hotel shuttle and no rep meeting you at arrivals, so book a private transfer or taxi ahead, or hire a car since on-site parking is free. It’s around 20 to 35 minutes from Antalya airport depending on traffic.
When’s the best time to go with young children?
June and September, for warmth without July and August’s heat and a comfortable sea. If you’re going in winter, come for the heated indoor pool and spa rather than the outdoor water park, which scales back.
Can they cater for a baby who’s weaning?
Weaning food isn’t something the hotel confirms, so don’t count on it. Check directly before you travel, and consider bringing your own or hiring kit from a local delivery service if it’s essential.
Is there enough for a toddler in the park?
For a child under 120 cm the park is really the splash zones, the Toddler and Kids Play areas, the Masha land and Nickelodeon Land; parents of three-to-five-year-olds report there’s little beyond those. If all your children are under that height, weigh whether the park alone justifies the trip or whether you’d spend as much of the week on the beach privilege and days out.
