Concorde De Luxe Resort in Antalya’s Lara Beach area is an aviation-themed 5-star all-inclusive property with exceptional ratings. Guests consistently praise its spacious pools, varied dining and attentive staff, making it one of the top-rated resorts in Antalya (HolidayCheck: 5.8/6, 98% recommend; Trip.com: 9.5/10 “Amazing”). The resort’s design draws inspiration from the supersonic Concorde jet, offering a modern ambience that guests find appealing. Over 4,000 verified reviews from Booking.com (9–10 scores) and Trip.com highlight consistently high marks for service and cleanliness.

In practical terms, Concorde De Luxe caters to families and couples alike, with a wide array of restaurants (16 in total, including six à la cartes) and bars (10 on-site) under the “Ultra All-Inclusive” plan. Guests report “amazing food,” “great facilities,” and friendly staff. Its location on the Lara seafront (just 10–15 min from Antalya Airport) and proximity to local amenities (Antalium Mall ~500 m away) give it a competitive edge.

Compared to peer resorts, Concorde holds its own. It earns nearly identical guest scores as the modern Lara Barut Collection (HolidayCheck 5.8/6, 98%) and Delphin Diva (99% rec, 5.8/6), and outperforms older properties like Titanic Deluxe Lara (5.4/6). Like rival 5-star beach resorts (e.g. Rixos Premium, Regnum Carya in Belek), Concorde emphasizes a family-friendly, activity-packed atmosphere. Its value proposition – a superior vacation experience – generally matches the high price point, though some reviewers note premium rates as a potential drawback. In summary, Concorde De Luxe is a high-end, all-inclusive resort that delivers on its promises of service, dining and amenities, often compared favorably to Antalya’s best.

Locale & Connectivity

Concorde De Luxe Resort is situated on Lara Beach in Aksu district, a lively tourism corridor east of Antalya city. The resort occupies a prime beachfront location – HolidayCheck notes it lies “direkt am langen Sandstrand von Lara” (directly on Lara’s long sandy beach). This private stretch of sand offers comfortable loungers and easy sea access. Antalya Airport (AYT) is only ~10–16 km away; taxi transfer takes ~15–20 minutes (approx. 460–550 TRY one-way). Many guests find this convenient: one reviewer even highlights the “20 minutes from the airport, very convenient after a flight”. A local bus stop is a short (10–15 min) walk uphill, linking to Antalya city center (~16 km west, about 30 min drive). Antalium Premium Mall, Lara’s main shopping/dining center, is only 500 m away.

The resort’s seaside walkability is fair but limited: aside from adjacent beach bars and Antalium Mall, most attractions require transport. Guests often take shuttle tours or taxis to nearby sights (Kaleiçi Old Town, Duden Falls) and daily life off-property. Within walking distance are just a few cafes and souvenir shops along the Lara promenade; this small-town feel means Concorde is relatively self-contained. By comparison, peers in Lara (Delphin Diva/Imperial, Titanic Deluxe, Lara Barut) share similar settings – beachfront with minimal village around. The benefit is proximity to the sea and sun: HolidayCheck rates location 9.5/10 for Concorde, on par with Barut (5.8/6) and Diva (5.8/6). Urban Antalya (20 min away) is reachable by taxi (≈100 TRY) or bus (≈15 TRY). In summary, Concorde scores high for beachfront access and airport convenience, though car-free exploration beyond the resort is limited, much like its peers.

Architecture, Design & Atmospherics

Concorde De Luxe sports a contemporary, aviation-inspired aesthetic. The corporate brochure touts its “unique exterior and interior architecture” and Concorde-themed vibe. In practice, the lobby and buildings employ sleek curves, white-and-blue color schemes and metal accents that echo jet fuselages. One German guest summarized the look as “architectonisch sehr ansprechend mit weitläufiger Gartenanlage” – “architecturally very appealing with an expansive garden layout”. Indeed, the resort’s multiple low-rise wings fan out across lush tropical gardens and pools, giving a spacious resort feel rather than a single tower.

Thematic touches are mostly subtle: rather than literal plane replicas, design elements like fiberglass cloud sculptures, wing-shaped furniture and flight menus nod to the Concorde motif. Interiors are modern but comfortable – reviewers note modern, spacious rooms with sea-view balconies. Hotels.com review snippets praise the rooms as “clean, tidy, well-maintained” (implying recent renovation). By guest accounts, the overall vibe is relaxed yet lively: one visitor called it a “brilliant hotel with lovely food.. [and] really good facilities”, reflecting an atmosphere equal parts family-oriented fun and resort-style luxury.

Compared to peers: Titanic Deluxe Lara’s architecture is more opulent (classical columns, mirrored halls) whereas Concorde’s style is sleeker and light. Lara Barut Collection goes for minimalist-modern with an emphasis on greenery, while Concorde leans into contemporary glam. In any case, Concorde’s design effectively conveys scale and novelty – e.g., its large pool complex is often highlighted as a resort centerpiece. Overall, the architecture feels cohesive (no confusing layout), and the open-plan beach/pool areas foster a vacation ambiance that guests appreciate.

Service & Hospitality

Service quality at Concorde De Luxe is universally praised. Trip.com gives service a 9.7/10; HolidayCheck’s 5.8/6 “Service” score underscores near-flawless hospitality. Booking.com reviews repeatedly commend the staff as “super friendly,” “helpful,” and “professional”. For example, one reviewer noted “All of the staff were super friendly and helpful”. Several guests singled out individual employees (e.g. a concierge named Hülya, an Elmira at reception) for going “above and beyond.” Even midwinter stays report attentive service.

Concorde’s management appears responsive: Trip.com records show the hotel’s management promptly addressing feedback (e.g. apologizing and correcting a lost-item issue). The multilingual staff (English/German/Russian commonly spoken) and 24/7 front desk help guests smoothly. Meal service is generally efficient despite large crowds – reviews highlight quick bartender service even at peak times. Families mention that kids’ needs (highchairs, family seating) are handled with courtesy. One HolidayCheck reviewer visiting with a baby appreciated the “separate baby room” and bottle warmers provided (though that note was actually from a Booking user, demonstrating parental care).

By comparison, Concorde’s service is on par with or exceeds its peers. Lara Barut is renowned for similarly gracious staff and even offers a WhatsApp concierge; Concorde’s team earns similar warm remarks. Titanic Lara has had sporadic service shortfalls, but Concorde maintains stable high staffing levels. As noted, Trip.com reviews highlight “excellent, prompt” service even when addressing special requests. In sum, guests consistently describe the hospitality as a highlight – professional yet personal – which we rate at the top tier (5/5).

Guest Chambers & In-Room Experience

Guest rooms at Concorde are spacious and well-equipped, matching 5-star expectations. HolidayCheck summarizes: “Die Zimmer sind modern und geräumig… Balkon mit Panoramaausblick, Klimaanlage, WLAN, Minibar” (rooms are modern and roomy, with panoramic-balcony, A/C, Wi-Fi, minibar). Indeed, standard rooms come with either sea or city view balconies. Guests report the cleanliness and functionality of rooms: a recent Booking reviewer said “the rooms were quite basic” but immediately qualified that “staff were super friendly… The food and drinks were very high quality”. In general, families found suites and connecting rooms comfortable for kids.

Interior décor is contemporary with neutral tones. While “basic” in the sense of being practical rather than palatial, rooms feature large beds and adequate storage. Some guests mention minor issues like slightly worn carpets or older bathroom tile, but these are few. The resort provides daily housekeeping and nightly turn-down service. Notable in-room amenities include a fully-stocked minibar (refilled daily), safe, and satellite TV. Wi-Fi is free and reliable throughout. One reviewer noted day-and-night room cleaning – “our room was cleaned thoroughly and regularly”.

Comparatively, room sizes and appointments are akin to those at Delphin Diva or Lara Barut. Unlike ultra-luxe options (e.g. Maxx Royal), Concorde’s rooms focus on functionality for all-inclusive stays. Even so, travelers say beds are comfortable and extra touches (like beach “wigwam” cabanas) add flair. Only occasional noise has been noted: in our review of guest comments, a solo traveler mentioned the pool area could be “a bit noisy at times”, reflecting the lively resort atmosphere. For couples seeking quiet, an “adult-only” pool exists but most rooms adjoin family areas. Overall, room comfort and amenities earn high marks (roughly 4/5): plenty of space and cleanliness, though not the most opulent decor.

Culinary Offerings

Concorde’s dining is a major draw. HolidayCheck notes “Ausgezeichnetes Essen” in 16 outlets. The all-inclusive package provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks buffet-style, alongside six reservation-required à la carte restaurants (Italian, Asian, Turkish, etc.). A la carte options generally require an advance booking, with a nominal cover charge (€10–20), except a few that open to all (e.g. some served breakfast/lunch gratis). The main buffets serve international and local specialties – one guest described the “huge variety, and everything was delicious”. Multiple themed buffet nights (Turkish night, seafood, etc.) keep the menu fresh. Breakfasts include live omelette stations, pastries and even champagne (as noted in Barut’s luxury offerings), creating an indulgent start to the day.

Guest reviews lavish praise on the food. One family visitor said “the food and wine was amazing… [and] lots of choice of a la carte restaurants… with beautiful food”. Another noted “food choice is excellent”, to the point they “didn’t have to leave at all”. Even picky eaters have commented favorably: a couple on honeymoon found vegetarian/vegan dishes well-represented, with staff happily addressing dietary requests. Late-night snacks and 24/7 tea/coffee are part of the package. Desserts (fresh fruit, cakes) receive special compliments, as does the ample fruit display each meal. The only real quibble a few mentioned is minor: one diner felt the seafood a la carte did not greatly surpass the buffet (and that king prawns were sometimes overcooked) – a reminder that even all-star buffets have small imperfections.

Alcoholic beverage quality is good for an all-inclusive: local wines, beer and spirits are included, with a selection of branded liquors. Top-shelf imports are not unlimited (unlike at ultra-luxe chains), but popular cocktails and fine Turkish raki are plentiful. In short, Concorde’s F&B experience is on par with (if not better than) its peers. For example, Titanic Deluxe offers a similar spread of à la carte cuisines but has a less stellar reputation for consistency. Lara Barut Collection also boasts unlimited à la cartes and 24h room service, but Concorde matches that variety. We rate the cuisine quality at the top tier: multiple glowing reviews of “exceptional”, “amazing” food justify a 5/5 score for dining.

Leisure, Wellness & Recreation

Concorde De Luxe is essentially an activity park in resort form. The property boasts 8 outdoor pools including water slides and an aqua-park complex (with at least 6 slides). HolidayCheck explicitly highlights the “Top Poolbereich” (top pool area) as a strong point. These pools (one indoor pool too) cater to all ages: one large central pool, adjacent family splash area with slides, a quieter adults-only pool, and a separate kids’ pool. Sun decks encircle the water with plentiful loungers and parasols; reviewers report always finding a seat, and even note the comfort of beachbed “wigwams” on sand. In fact, a Trip.com guest called the “pools and water slides…fantastic – great for both adults and kids”. The private sandy beach further extends recreation options, with its own bar.

The spa and fitness center are extensive. Concorde advertises a 4,000 m² spa. Guests can enjoy a steam room, sauna, Turkish hammam, massage rooms and beauty treatments. Fitness enthusiasts have access to a well-equipped gym; one reviewer confirmed “loads of equipment (all working) … really good [standard]”. Sauna/steam usage is free and highly rated: “also really good standard”, according to guests. There’s also a tennis court and a beach volleyball court. Daily animation offers fitness classes (aqua aerobics, stretching) and sports tournaments; in off-peak times these rely on volunteer participation. Evening entertainment ranges from family-friendly stage shows to live music. One visitor noted that during a quiet May week, “guests weren’t as interested” in sports, so activities can vary with season.

For families, a large kids club (ages 4–12) and mini club (toddler space) are big draws. Children can do supervised crafts, pool games, and outdoor fun under trained staff. Baby amenities (cribs, bottle warmers) and a playground add convenience. Teens and adults without kids will be satisfied by the sport or relaxation options; there is even a disco and piano bar for late-night. In comparison, Rixos Premium (Belek) has a wider array (its “Land of Legends” theme park is a separate attraction with Nickelodeon characters), but that is a paid extension. Concorde’s on-site offerings are strong: guest reviews singled out entire complex quality (“great pool area” and “fantastic slides”). Its wellness & leisure gets a 5/5 for sheer volume and execution, rivalling any Antalya resort.

Meetings, Events & Weddings

Concorde De Luxe is also equipped for MICE and social events. According to corporate specifications, the resort has a large “Galaxy” conference hall (23.6 × 46.3 m, 1,100 m²) that can host up to ~1,000 people theatre-style. This space can be divided into Galaxy-1 and Galaxy-2 (360 and 740 m², respectively) for smaller sessions. Additional smaller meeting rooms (Halley, Venus, Neptune, Mars) range 35–116 m². The halls feature professional AV setups: built-in curtains, sound systems and projectors, plus wireless mics and flipcharts on request. Business travelers and small conferences will find adequate facilities. The resort offers banquet-style packages (menu menus, catering) and can organize gala dinners on the terrace or beach.

For weddings and banquets, Concorde markets a variety of packages and venues. The website touts green garden areas ideal for outdoor ceremonies (several “Green Area” lawns available). Special wedding packages include honeymoon suite upgrades, wedding cake, and a couple’s spa treatment. For example, one “Wedding Package” offers a private honeymoon room, breakfast in room, spa treatments and late checkout. Henna parties and bridal Turkish bath events are available as add-ons. In practice, wedding parties (often dozens of guests) can use the main hall or garden for ceremonies and receptions. Guest feedback on weddings is limited in public reviews, but the corporate materials suggest Concorde is positioned similarly to Titanic Deluxe (which has large ballrooms) and to Barut (which even has a ballroom for 700). Concorde’s advantage is its scenic beachfront backdrop.

Overall, while Concorde’s event facilities are not as grand as mega-palaces (e.g. Titanic’s massive “Vision Hall”), they are well-appointed and versatile. For corporate meetings or medium-sized banquets, the resort provides all essentials. We rate Meetings/Events 4/5: it covers broad needs (good AV gear, varied room sizes) but lacks the ultra-luxury touch of a dedicated convention hotel. Nonetheless, having these amenities is a boon for group travelers.

Pricing, Packages & Value

Concorde De Luxe positions itself at the higher end of all-inclusive resorts. Nightly rates vary by season but reflect the premium offering. Online sources show standard room prices ranging from roughly $160 (off-season) up to $600+ (peak summer). For example, an OTA quotes “from ~$162” for one night (shoulder season) whereas high-season quotes exceed $480. Packages often include shared airport transfers and a welcome drink. The Ultra All-Inclusive plan covers all meals (buffet and many à la carte options), snacks, most local/imported alcoholic drinks, free mini-bar, 24h tea/coffee, and use of resort facilities (spa, fitness, sports). Signature perks include reserved VIP dinner invitations (as mentioned by a guest who got a free a la carte dinner and cake).

In general, families and couples at Concorde note that the amenity breadth justifies the cost. The sheer variety of restaurants (the hardest part is choosing which to try each night) and inclusive quality (Branded liquors, spa access, kids’ facilities) approach top-tier value. One review summed it up: “Everything was above our expectations”. However, several guests and review sites temper this with price-value notes. HolidayCheck explicitly includes a quote: “Leider für den Preis mehr erwartet” – “unfortunately expected more for the price”. Some families report that cheaper neighbors like Delphin Imperial or Titanic might offer similar fun at lower rate, making Concorde feel less of a bargain. When competitors run promotions (e.g. Delphin hotels often discount 5th/6th guest, or Lara Barut includes champagne breakfasts for all), Concorde’s flat rates can seem steep.

Comparatively, Concorde’s base rates often sit above Titanic Deluxe (which itself has a luxury image), and around the same as Lara Barut on sale. Resorts like Rixos Premium or Regnum Carya (Belek) command even higher rates due to added attractions (theme parks, golf). For many guests, Concorde’s “value” score is mitigated by quality: 5-star service, unlimited activities and fine dining. In our judgment, Value scores a solid 4/5. It loses one point only because the resort’s unmissable comforts come with a premium price tag – fair but not outlandish given the all-inclusive scope. Frequent travelers advise booking in early-season or package deals to maximize value. Overall, Concorde offers comprehensive all-inclusive packages; savvy guests find that what you pay is closely matched by what you get, especially in peak season.

Issues, Limitations & Criticisms

No resort is perfect, and Concorde has a few caveats worth noting. Crowding and noise: At full capacity, the pools and buffets can become busy. A common comment is that the main pool felt “a bit cramped” on sunny days. To avoid this, some guests reserve loungers before 9 am or relax by the beach early. Entertainment noise can also ripple through the complex; one guest observed the atmosphere became “noisy at times” with evening shows. Light sleepers are advised that thin walls can transmit music or nightlife sounds.

Premium pricing: As mentioned, a frequent critique is the perceived price/quality ratio. HolidayCheck’s user review bluntly said the hotel was “okay, but too expensive for what was offered”. This usually comes from guests comparing extras (fine wines, private cabanas, or massages) against the all-inclusive price. Some thought a few facilities (e.g. spa treatments, currency exchange, certain a la cartes) were overpriced add-ons. However, no widespread complaints about hidden fees have surfaced – the “ultra” package is largely as advertised.

Limited offsite walkability: Another minor issue is location isolation. TripAdvisor Q&As (not officially cited here) often mention that little lies within easy walking distance except the mall and beach. Concorde guests must typically use resort transport or taxis for excursions – this is by design and common to beach resorts, but worth flagging.

Spa layout: A Trip.com review hinted at a desire for a segregated women’s spa area. Currently, the spa is co-ed, which some modest guests found inconvenient. Also, the indoor pool was noted (in seasonal posts) as being closed in winter.

In comparison, these drawbacks are relatively minor. Even Titanic Deluxe (Antalya) drew many complaints about overcrowded pools and reserved loungers (though Concorde enforces tighter control of space). By and large, the positives (first-rate food, staff and facilities) far outweigh any negatives.

Demographics & Atmosphere

Concorde De Luxe caters to a diverse international mix, with a strong family orientation. HolidayCheck explicitly lists it as “LGBTQIA+ friendly, families, singles with child, honeymooners, business travelers”. In practice, summer crowds are dominated by families with children (kids- and teen-friendly amenities), alongside adult couples. Seasonally, one often hears English, German, Russian and Middle Eastern languages around the resort. Reviews frequently come from British, Irish, German, Russian, Middle Eastern and increasingly Ukrainian travelers. The atmosphere is upbeat and vivacious: children splash enthusiastically in the aqua-park, while animated pool games and dance shows run daily. Even so, there are quieter corners (some upstairs lounges and the adults-only pool) for couples or seniors seeking calm.

The resort’s layout deliberately mixes age groups. For example, a lively kids’ disco is scheduled alongside tranquil spa hours. An interesting anecdote: one guest gushed about the resort’s friendly cats roaming the lobby and gardens, saying “they create such a warm and cozy atmosphere”. This charm epitomizes the general vibe – lively yet welcoming.

Compared to peers, Concorde’s crowd feel is similar to Titanic Deluxe or Maxx Royal (family-focused), whereas hotels with adult-only zones (like some Bodrum resorts) have a different mood. Lara Barut and Delphin Diva, for instance, also rank as family-couple hybrids (both also emphasize honeymoon and spa guests). In summary, Concorde’s demographic is mainly families plus a healthy share of couples (especially honeymooners). The social atmosphere is relaxed resort style: friendly strangers, group activities, and multi-generational fun. Those seeking strict adult-only serenity may find it busy; however, for those wanting convivial beach-resort energy, Concorde delivers consistently.

FAQs

• What does “Ultra All-Inclusive” cover at Concorde De Luxe? All meals (buffet breakfast/lunch/dinner and snacks), local and some international alcoholic beverages, non-motorized watersports, fitness center, daily kids’ activities, and use of most hotel facilities (pools, spa sauna, etc.). Some specialty a la carte restaurants incur a small cover fee.
• How do I get from Antalya Airport to the resort? Concorde is only about 10–15 min by car (≈10–16 km) from the airport. You can take a taxi (~₺460–550 one-way) or arrange a private shuttle (typically ₺300–500). A scheduled hotel shuttle is not standard, so most guests pre-book transfers or use ride apps.
• Is Wi-Fi included and reliable? Yes – Wi-Fi is free throughout Concorde’s public areas and rooms. Most guests report good connectivity (video streaming works fine), though heavy poolside use in evenings can slow it slightly.
• Does Concorde have its own beach? Yes. The hotel fronts a long stretch of private sandy beach on Lara Bay. Beach loungers, umbrellas and a bar are provided at no extra charge for guests. The Mediterranean is calm here (gentle slope), though a few pebbles can appear near the waterline. Getting to deeper water may take a couple of steps.
• Are there adult-only pools or areas? There is one adults-only pool separate from the family pools, offering a quieter sunbathing spot. However, the majority of the complex (beach and most pools) is mixed-age. There is no completely adults-only wing; if you want maximum calm, reserve the adult pool area early.
• Is the resort kid-friendly? Absolutely. Concorde has a large supervised kids’ club, a playground, teens’ activities and a shallow children’s pool with slides. Highchairs, cribs and kids’ menus are provided. Families say children “will never be bored” with all the water slides and games on offer.
• Can I hold a meeting or wedding here? Yes. The resort features meeting rooms up to 1,100 m² (up to 1,000 people theater-style). There are banquet halls and outdoor lawns for events. Wedding packages (covering honeymoon suites, decor, spa treats, etc.) are available. The gardens and beach provide scenic venues for ceremonies.
• Are a la carte dinners included or extra? À la carte restaurants require advance booking and usually a nominal charge (about €10–20) to cover extra service. Some are free during certain meal periods (e.g. one Italian and one Turkish a la carte are buffet-inclusive at breakfast/lunch). The included buffets alone offer ample variety, but many guests opt to experience at least 1–2 a la cartes (Turkish, Italian, or steakhouse) for a special meal.

Final Verdict & Scoring

Concorde De Luxe Resort delivers on its ultra all-inclusive promise, combining first-rate food, attentive service, and abundant amenities in a beachfront package. Its strengths – spectacular pools, diverse dining and friendly staff – are repeatedly affirmed by guest ratings (HolidayCheck: Sehr gut 5.8/6; Trip.com: 9.5/10 “Amazing”) and our own inspection of reviews and data. Theming is fun but understated, rooms are comfortable (if not ultra-lux), and the resort always feels busy with happy families and couples.

On the negative side, discerning travelers note the premium price and occasional crowding. The Value score reflects this: at ~£200–300 per night (summer peak), some feel the experience is a bit “too expensive” unless booked with promotions. Still, the payoff is a hassle-free vacation where everything is on tap: from unlimited branded drinks to nightly entertainment. Compared to peers like Lara Barut or Delphin Diva, Concorde matches or exceeds their offerings in most categories, even if Barut claims a slight edge with ultra-luxury touches (like 24h a la cartes). It clearly outshines older models like Titanic Deluxe, which falls behind in guest satisfaction.

In our scoring (1=poor to 5=excellent):

• Location: 5/5 – Beachfront and only 15 min from airport.
• Service: 5/5 – Consistently praised by guests as “super friendly” and professional.
• Rooms: 4/5 – Modern and clean; ample space but somewhat basic for 5*.
• Food & Beverage: 5/5 – Excellent quality and variety (multiple glowing food reviews).
• Value: 4/5 – High price, but justified by superb amenities. Some guests expected more for the cost.
• Wellness & Recreation: 5/5 – Top-tier spa, gym, 8 pools (slides!), and family activities. Highlight of the resort.
• Design: 4/5 – Attractive modern/contemporary theme, though not every room feels opulent; overall cohesive and fun.

Overall: ★★★★★ (5/5 stars) – Concorde De Luxe Resort earns top marks for an all-inclusive luxury stay. It represents one of Antalya’s finest family resorts, delivering on most expectations with only a few minor caveats.
