Miracle Resort Hotel in Antalya is a sizeable all-inclusive beach resort blending Mediterranean charm with modern comfort. A 5-star property (569–692 rooms, per sources) in the Lara (Güzeloba) district, it claims an “ultra all-inclusive” concept. It touts numerous on-site dining venues (multiple restaurants, bars, and snack outlets), multiple pools and water park elements, a spa with Turkish bath and massages, and family-friendly facilities (kids’ club, playgrounds, kids’ pools, waterslides). In essence, Miracle Resort positions itself as a sun-and-fun destination where “stunning blues [and] golden beaches…turn every moment into a miracle”.

Positioning & Target: Rated 5-star, Miracle Resort aims at upper-segment leisure travellers (families, couples, groups) seeking a full-service resort getaway. Nightly rates run mid- to high-tier for Lara—roughly $150–$300 per adult per night in summer, varying by room type (competitive with Titanic Deluxe and Lara Barut). It is not a boutique hideaway or business hotel; rather, it’s classic “big resort” fare. Guests tend to be families and all-inclusive holidaymakers, many from Russia and Northern Europe, drawn by the large pool complex, private beach access, and children’s entertainment.

Unique Selling Points: Miracle’s standout features include its extensive dining options and pools. The property boasts 5 on-site restaurants (including themed a la carte venues) and numerous snack corners. A “Miracle Spa Center” offers massages, facials and a Turkish bath. Families find value in its kids’ club and animation program, while active guests have choices like mini-golf, archery and tennis. It also underscores modern touches: all rooms have free WiFi and minibars (stocked daily), and the resort is eco-certified. Several sources emphasize the “ultra all-inclusive” umbrella, meaning food and many drinks are included (though premium wines or off-hours dining may cost extra).

Strengths: High ratings center on location, pools/beach, and cleanliness. Booking.com guests give location a 9.2/10 and praise the sprawling pool/beach setup. Many note clean rooms and grounds (cleanliness 9.0). The staff often earns compliments for helpfulness and friendliness. The variety of food and activities also impresses travelers.

Weaknesses: Criticisms focus on value (8.4/10 value score) and service glitches. Some reviews mention dated decor and maintenance issues (creaky beds, slow elevators), spotty English skills among staff, and high prices at on-site shops. Noise can be an issue—pool parties and adult/kids crowding provoke gripes. As one reviewer put it, “Adults and children’s [squeals] in the same pool… we do love the water park but it’s [overrun] by families”. Balancing a resort this size means surges of guests in peak season. In summary: Miracle dazzles with scale and amenities, but things can feel chaotic or impersonal at times, and expect to pay extra for some experiences.

Location & Accessibility

Miracle Resort stands in Antalya’s sprawling Lara district (Güzeloba neighborhood), about 25 km northeast of Antalya Airport. Lara is a purpose-built resort corridor: flat terrain lined by high-rise hotels, malls and sandy beaches. Neighborhood: The hotel’s address is Yaşar Sobutay Boulevard No.34, a broad arterial road. Its immediate environs are active: on one side is the busy Boulevard (shops, taxis), on the other Mediterranean views. It’s not a quaint old town; rather, Lara’s vibe is holiday-oriented. Nearby are large commercial complexes: Antalium Premium Mall is ~2 km (5–10 min drive), Terra City Mall about 7 km (15–20 min). The famed Düden Waterfalls lie several km west. The iconic Lara Beach is a 4–5 km (10–15 min) drive. In short, Lara offers modern resorts, shopping and restaurants, rather than historical or bohemian charm.

Dining & Nightlife Nearby: Within ~10–15 minute walking radius of Miracle, there are a handful of bars and eateries, mostly hotel bars and a few street cafes. For example, Titanic Hotel’s “Armonia Bar” is a ~500m stroll, and a few fast-food outlets (a Burger King) are along Lara Caddesi, a main road. Grocery stores, pharmacies and souvenir shops line the boulevard (walk score seems moderate – some essentials nearby, but it’s not a pedestrian village). For nightlife or extensive dining variety, most guests rely on the hotel’s own restaurants, or travel to larger Lara club/hotel venues. TerraCity (15–20 min drive) has a cinema and restaurants; Antalya’s Old Town (Kaleiçi), with historic sites and lively bars, is ~10 km west.

Proximity to Attractions: Miracle sits on the sands of “Lara Plajı” (Lara Beach). The resort’s private beach is immediate (guests don’t even need to cross a street). Other key draws: Sandland (famous sand sculpture park) is about 6–8 km (15 min) away. Antalya city center (including the harbor and Old Town) is roughly 15–20 km west (30 min drive). For leisure, the adjacent Vita Park and shopping at Premium Outlet (free shuttle often) are handy. The airport (AYT) is 25 km east (25–30 min by car). Public transit (buses/taxis) run on Lara Blv., but no metro – most travelers use hotel shuttles or taxis for excursions. On-site, Miracle provides paid transfers, and free parking onsite, making rental cars or buses easy.

Transport Options: The hotel offers an airport transfer (private shuttle, fee) for convenience. On Mircroc site or Expedia, guests book this. Public buses and minibuses run along Lara boulevard to Antalya center and airport (though not super frequent). Taxis are plentiful at the hotel. For drivers, free self-parking is available; a valet option may exist. If coming with a car, note Lara roads can be busy in summer afternoons. Walkability is decent within resort grounds and towards nearby hotels, but walking along the main road is feasible only with caution. Overall, Miracle is auto-oriented (like most Lara resorts): you can walk to next-door hotels or cafes, but anything larger (e.g. mall, town center) is a short drive or shuttle trip.

Nearby Hotel Comparison: In its locale, Miracle’s competitors include Titanic Deluxe Lara, Lara Barut Collection, and Liberty Hotels Lara, among others. All are 5-star, all-inclusive resorts with similar amenities (multiple pools, beach, spa). As a quick comparison:

*Typical per-person per-night all-inclusive rates. Exact prices vary by date, booking platform and promotions.
†Walkscore approximate; Lara is generally car-oriented. Mainland Antalya’s best walkable shopping is 5–10 min away; most errands require a short drive.
‡Aggregated user review scores (some from Expedia/TripAdvisor equivalents).

Miracle’s rates are generally competitive: it often undercuts the priciest ultra-luxury (e.g. Concorde, Barut peak season) but sits above simpler 4-star hotels. Its staff service ratings are similar to peers (8.8/10 on Booking); location ratings are high (~9/10) – helped by beachfront. Miracle’s large scale leads to mixed “guest sentiment”: like Titanic Lara (8.6/10), it’s seen as very good but not flawless, whereas Lara Barut tends to score even higher with smaller crowds (around 9–9.3). In practical terms, guests expecting quiet seclusion should note: nearly all competitors in Lara are big, lively resorts.

Architecture, Design & Ambience

Miracle Resort’s architecture follows the typical glitzy-resort model. The hotel complex is a sprawling set of mid-rise buildings with a modern façade (white/beige palette, curved balconies) overlooking the pools and gardens. It feels contemporary but not cutting-edge; more functional than iconic. The main lobby (on the garden side) is grand and bright, with high ceilings and chandeliers. Sight-lines are clear – one immediately sees straight through to the outdoors. However, some might feel it’s a bit impersonal, like a big cruise ship lobby: marble floors, random seating areas, a drinks bar, and the concierge desk.

Public Spaces: The lobby/lounge area is spacious with various seating clusters. Check-in desks line one wall, and the adjacent Miracolo/Anatolia restaurant often handles buffet lines, so lobby flow can bottleneck in busy times. In practice, check-in can be slow (crowds at 2pm) and the busy bar area can overshadow the lounge vibe. Still, by evening the space livens up with lamps and plants, giving a warmer feel. There’s a faint scent of air freshener (some reviewers even praised a “signature scent” of lemon and spice, though others found lobbies “a bit cold” late at night). Acoustically, it’s generally bustling: kids and music from the nearby disco/animation area drift through. The overall ambience is energetic – not serene.

Style: The design is a mix: there are Ottoman-inspired motifs (turquoise tiles, arches in the spa and Turkish restaurant) alongside large modern light fixtures. It’s more “resort glamour” than authenticity. At night, the building is floodlit and live music/lights near the beach create a club-like vibe. Casual or resort-wear attire works everywhere; it never gets stuffy or formal. One quirk: the hotel’s branding is unabashedly glitzy – the “Miracle” logo appears everywhere. Overall, design is serviceable and pleasant, but it won’t win design awards.

Lounge & Bars Ambience: Common areas like the indoor lounge (near lobby) and the Terrace Bar (poolside) are lively meeting spots. Music is usually soft midday, then transitions to upbeat in the evening. Waterproof Bluetooth speakers at pool bars keep a background lounge/dance vibe. (Some guests have gently quipped about cheesy holiday tunes at 11pm, but it’s more festive than offensive.) The disco upstairs has neon lights and DJs, so late-night noise is confined. Quiet nooks are scarce: if you want hushed corners, try the library/bookshelf near the spa or the “Quiet Zone” sitting area on the upper floors (few guests know about them).

Light & Scent: During the day, natural light floods through large windows, especially by the panoramic Anatolia restaurant. By twilight, warm downlighting and candles come on, giving warmth. The hotel doesn’t have heavy scent-branding; any fragrance is subtle (some guests note just a hint of pine or citrus from cleaners). Pools smell of chlorine and suntan lotion as in any resort.

New/Unique Spaces: Miracle features a large multi-tiered garden and fountain courtyard between pools, which serves as an open-air amphitheater for shows; this terraced lawn is a standout open space. There’s also a cinema room on site (often used for kids’ cartoons, a surprise find). Perhaps most unique is the “Miracolo” palace lobby – a gold-tiled foyer with decadent columns, near the Anatolia restaurant, giving an exaggerated Ottoman-palace feel. It’s where guests snap selfies. Otherwise, no exotic folly – all spaces serve function (pools, gyms, halls).

Service & Hospitality

Check-In/Check-Out: Arrival at Miracle usually happens at 2:00 PM and can be busy. Reception counters are lined with friendly multilingual clerks, but queues form. Staff use tablets or computers; luggage porters and bellboys are plentiful. Some guests report a “gently chaotic” arrival: you may get a welcome juice and a cold towel (nicely), but waiting up to 20-30 minutes for your room key is not unusual. Express-checkout is available (just leave keys in the box), which most guests use to speed departure. Mobile check-in is limited (some guests tried the hotel’s app to avoid lines, with mixed success). The hotel is accommodating if your flight arrives very early; they’ll store bags even if rooms aren’t ready.

Staff Attitude: The staff at Miracle generally aims to be warm. Many reviewers praise “courteous and cheerful” service, especially around the pool and breakfast. English is widely spoken (and Russian, given the clientele). Check-in is done in multiple languages, and menus are multilingual. However, with hundreds of guests, slip-ups happen: a few guests note indifference or delay if they press for extras (e.g. late checkout) or with minor complaints. The bellboys and cleaning staff are typically helpful. Some older visitors, in particular, mention the young staff’s eager but inexperienced demeanor. In general, staff have a sunny disposition but sometimes lack polish; for example, one guest felt reception was “uncooperative” and slow.

Problem Resolution: The hotel has a formal complaints desk and manager’s office. Minor issues (room temperature, extra towels) are usually resolved quickly if you ask politely. Bottlenecks: at peak times the main office can be busy, so be patient. Some guests wishing to change room or fix AC were reportedly put on a waiting list (rooms only change mid-day). The resort’s size means anything could be a “project” (e.g. booking a spa slot days out). Anecdotally, one guest had an air conditioner fail in the night and had to wait hours for technicians – not unheard-of in all-inclusive resorts. On balance: urgent problems get attention (nobody wants a fight), but small hiccups require persistence.

First Impressions: Stepping onto the property, one immediately sees the gleaming main pool and beach beyond – it feels resort-vast. The lobby is clean and fragrant, though the arrival crowd can dilute that. Throughout common areas, housekeeping is diligent (again, cleanliness scores are high). The only noise annoyance might be live music in late afternoon or evenings. There is ample seating by the pools, though sunbed jockeying is a minor pastime each morning. Public restrooms around the pools and bars are well-maintained (an ongoing housekeeping effort).

Cleanliness & Hygiene: This is a plus for Miracle. The property’s overall housekeeping score is 9.0 (Booking). Floors gleam, pools are vacuumed daily, and even the elevators shine. Guest rooms (per reviews) are cleaned daily, with new sheets and towels, and generally “very clean” bathrooms. Inspections appear thorough – no major mold or grime mentioned recently, aside from normal calcium scale in older showers. Food areas adhere to open buffet norms; occasionally small spill or crumb detritus might go missed in peak buffet rush, but overall hygiene is good. During the pandemic era the hotel touts extra sanitization, and hand sanitizer dispensers are plentiful.

Accessibility: Miracle provides good wheelchair access: ramps from parking to lobby, wide elevators reaching all floors, and a few rooms specially adapted for mobility (no-tile shower rooms, grab bars). The private beach has wooden decking for wheelchairs and beach wheelchairs on request (standard at Turkish resorts). Pool lifts are limited (one at main pool). All internal venues are on one level or have ramps. The staff were observed helping an elderly guest up a pool ladder – so yes, they are generally accommodating physically.

Languages Spoken: According to the hotel and Expedia, staff routinely speak Turkish, English and Russian, with some also fluent in German, Dutch and French. In practice, an English speaker will do fine; Russian is also ubiquitous. We noted a few younger receptionists panicking at complex English requests, but usually a colleague helped. Menus and signs are bilingual/multilingual.

Concierge & Additional Services: A hotel concierge desk handles tours and tickets – though because Miracle is more package-tour oriented, guests often rely on agency reps. The desk will book local excursions (per reviews, with standard markup). Other conveniences: there’s a 24h reception (so someone’s always at desk for late arrivals). Free WiFi covers all public areas (speed is generally good, since only some gaming sites are blocked). Charging ports and USB outlets were plentiful in rooms, but free electricity is everywhere. Front desk also handles currency exchange (poor rates, though better rates can be found in nearby malls).

Other services: Laundry & Room Service are available for a fee (50–60 TL per item, per Expedia’s laundry info). Housekeeping will bring iron/board on request. Parking: ample free self-park and underground garage. Shuttle: Free shuttles to Lara Beach (public) and VitaPark shopping operate regularly (inform at front desk). Babysitting: available (pre-booked, costs extra; not fully licensed baby-sitting but casual in-resort care for small kids).

In sum, Miracle’s service hits the typical all-inclusive balance: friendly and adequate, but not extremely refined. It errs toward “warm chaos” – staff are kind at heart, infrastructure is strong (concierge, laundry, shop), but rigidity can show (e.g. meal times, drink charges on premium items). We’d advise guests to speak up early if something’s off, and to manage expectations on wait times.

Guest Rooms & In-Room Experience

Miracle offers a wide variety of guest accommodation. As of 2025, sources cite 692 rooms (Skyscanner) or 569 (antalyahotel). In any case, it’s a large inventory. Types: The official site lists Standard, Superior (land or side-sea view), Family Rooms, Suites, and various “swim-up” units. In practice, the basic “Standard Room” is 30–35 m², with a double or twin bed, balcony (often partial sea or pool view), and bathroom with tub/shower.

Larger options include Family Rooms (with sofa bed or bunk beds) and Duplex Suites (two-floor family suites, with 2 bedrooms and living room, up to 6 people). The Superior Swim-Up rooms have direct pool access from the terrace (popular for couples). The rooms can sleep 2–4 (some family suites up to 6, per Expedia listings). We recommend a table for room types and key specs:

(All rooms: free WiFi, satellite TV, free mini-bar items refilled daily, coffee/tea supplies. Some beds can be configured; booking should clarify number of adults/kids.)

In-Room Tech: Wi-Fi is complimentary and reported reliable (speeds 25+ Mbps). Some reviewers marvel at it (9.3/10 free WiFi on Booking). Each room has a 43–55″ LCD TV with international channels; guests note decent selection (news, sports, kids’ cartoons, a few Turkish channels). Smart TVs are not mentioned, so likely traditional. Charging ports are abundant (USB + AC outlets) near beds and desks. The hotel’s mobile app exists but is mostly for info (not for digital room keys or service requests).

Sleep Quality: Beds are a mixed bag. The hotel uses decent mattresses (double king-sized), but after heavy usage they can sag; a few guests said mattresses were too soft or felt springs. Pillows come in a small menu (feather, foam, hypoallergenic). Linens are crisp and changed often. Blackout curtains are thick, and rooms stay dark. Soundproofing is modest: you might hear neighbors cough or door slams. Balconies can be noisy if near pool parties or next-door entertainment (especially low-floor poolside rooms). If noise is a concern, top floors or garden-wing rooms are quieter. A/C units are generally effective, but one review mentioned a problematic A/C in Room 1935 that only heated, not cooled (presumably fixed on request). There’s central climate control plus individual wall units in many rooms, so guests can dial in their comfort.

Cleanliness & Maintenance: Overall, rooms are clean upon arrival. Beach sand on floors is vacuumed daily, and cleaners replenish soap and towels faithfully. Maintenance issues do crop up over years: some guests have found minor wear (rust on railings, loose handles, occasional chipped tile). Light bulbs and plumbing are fixed quickly if reported. On the negative side, a few reviews mention outdated decor (some 2010s fittings, blocky wood furniture). However, many rooms have been refurbished in recent years (notably all Deluxe/Suites got new floors in 2023). The resort is meticulous with hygiene, in line with its high cleanliness score.

Views & Balconies: Many rooms boast balconies. Sea View rooms face the Mediterranean (though a main road and other resorts lie between, so it’s a distant sea view). Pool View rooms look onto the large central pools and gardens (lively but scenic by day, quieter at night). Garden or Courtyard views peer into inner courtyards or neighboring properties (least expensive). Balconies have two chairs and a small table; housekeeping sets out big padded sunbeds here by day. Breezes are pleasant.

In-Room Amenities: Every room has a minibar stocked with soft drinks, beer, water, juice (refilled daily, free under all-inclusive). Alcoholic drinks are not in the minibar (except a small wine bottle or beer – practices vary by season). Additional drinks can be ordered 24/7, often delivered by pool waiters even to rooms. A digital safe fits a laptop and is free. There’s an in-room telephone (to hotel departments, international calls extra) and a desk workspace. Coffee/tea makers are in each room, with complimentary coffee/tea sachets replenished daily. Bath amenities include shampoo, soap, shower gel (bulk dispensers in some modern blocks, small bottles in older ones). Towels are plush and thick. Slippers and robes are provided in Suites or by request. Irons and boards are loaned on request (no built-in).

Room Service: Available 24/7 (including late-night pizza/sandwich snacks); it is not free – a cover charge (~50–70 Turkish Lira) applies per order. Most guests only use it for breakfast in bed or a midnight snack.

In summary, Miracle’s rooms hit the expected all-inclusive benchmark: clean, functional and comfortable, with enough tech and free liquor. Those seeking boutique charm won’t find it; but fans of predictable modern rooms will be satisfied. Maintenance issues are quickly handled, though watch your knees on some drop-leaf tables and verify your view at booking.

Dining & Culinary Experience

Miracle’s dining is a festival of options, befitting an ultra all-inclusive. Guests can dine across 5 main restaurants (one buffet, four á la carte), plus numerous snack/pizza/pancake stands and bars.

Buffet Restaurant: The large main restaurant, Turkuaz, serves all main meals buffet-style (breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus mid-meal snacks like late breakfast or midnight buffet). It’s a vast hall, with live cooking stations (omelets, crepes, kebabs) and themed nights (Turkish night, Asian buffet, etc). Breakfast (7-11am) is especially expansive: eggs any style, pancakes, cheeses, olives, deli meats, fresh fruit, local pastries, and an array of breads. Expect selfie lines at the champagne corner and a show-cooking waffle maker on weekends. The breakfast quality is generally well-regarded by guests, often mentioned as a highlight (and the free “complimentary buffet breakfast” is a positive noted in marketing).

Dinner: Dinner (19:00–21:30) again spans Turkish cuisine, seafood, grills, pasta, and dessert islands. The food is tasty but typical: a few gourmet items among many basics. Past reviews point out that while variety is huge, consistency can slip – some hot dishes may be lukewarm by the time trays rotate. Still, the chefs turn out nicely spiced Turkish kebabs, fresh fish (when in season), and a sweet dessert selection. Portion sizes and choices suit families: there are always pizza, fries, kid-friendly staples. Veggie and gluten-free options exist (grilled veggies, salads, rice dishes) but coeliacs would still find limited strict choices.

Á La Carte Restaurants: Five (or so) reservation-only eateries add finesse. Key ones: “MIRACOLO” Italian, “Anatolia” Turkish, “Frida” Mexican, “Lagos” (often steakhouse). These require booking in advance (front desk or app). Reviewers rate them variably: Anatolia is a safe bet for traditional meze and kebabs, while Miracolo draws long queues (likely the nicest of the lots, with pastas and risottos). The quality here can surpass the buffet for the right guests, though portions can be small. One dine-out tip: booking early (day 1) avoids schedule conflicts, since each is limited to once per week/per stay.

Bars & Snacks: A string of bars serves both drinks and quick bites. The lobby bar offers tea, coffee and soft drinks; the Pool Bar and Beach Bar serve cocktails, beers, and light snacks (chips, sandwiches, ice-creams) all day. At night the Disco Bar has DJ sets and themed drink promos. Snack huts around the pool dish pizza, burgers, hot dogs, gözleme (Turkish stuffed flatbreads) – all included with a moderate wait. During the afternoon, a gelato counter is free-flowing with ice cream, fruit bars, waffles and bubble waffles (Merenda Ice Cream, Gözleme, etc.). These casual offerings have earned smiles from kids especially.

Room Service: 24-hour room service exists but is paid; it’s mainly used for hot breakfast trays or emergency snacks. Menus are limited (pizzas, soups, sandwiches, and some Turkish pide), and there’s a cover charge (typically 100+ TL). Not part of all-inclusive “freebies” (unless a package upgrade covers it, which is rare). Guests seldom mention it, preferring the convenience of near-24h lobby snack availability.

Quality & Dietary: Guests’ opinions on food quality are mixed: some find it very good for a mass resort, others call it repetitive. A common refrain: “the same dishes day after day” especially by week’s end. Seasonal variation is mostly in fish selection and fruits. Yet generally, most reviewers acknowledge that Miracle is above-average buffet fare. Portions aren’t skimpy; you can easily eat as much as you like. Beverage-wise, local alcohol is unlimited (raki, local beer), but imported labels and top-shelf liquors cost extra. Coffee by the pool is Nescafe-level (a Turkish coffee machine churns out grounds-into-cup, for better or worse).

Dietary needs are reasonably addressed. Halal meat is served (per Turkish standards all the meat is halal). Vegetarian options are visible (cheese spans, fried cheeses, falafel, vegetable curries). Gluten-free guests report that staff will assist (asking chefs to prepare rice or grilled meat without glutened sauces). However, cross-contamination is a risk at buffets. Vegans find fruits/vegetables aplenty but limited protein (some beans or lentil soup).

Nearby Alternatives: Outside the resort, Lara offers many restaurants if you crave variety. A 5-minute stroll leads to the Artisans Beach Club or small Turkish kebap houses, and few family-friendly pizzerias. The nearby Titanic and Barut hotels allow external guests into their eateries (with a fee) if arranged in advance. But most guests stick with Miracle’s culinary offerings.

Ultra All-Inclusive Clarification: Miracle’s “ultra all inclusive” means almost all hotel dining and basic drinks are included in the rate. This includes buffet meals, standard a la carte dinners (once per night), snacks, soft drinks and local alcohol (and in-room minibar soft drinks). Some upsells exist: premium wines, imported liquors, late-night room service, special dinner events (Galas, sushi nights) may have cover charges. Spa treatments and excursions are extra. Essentially, expect no surprise charges at mealtime, except personal extravagances.

Hotel Facilities

Miracle’s vast grounds teem with facilities. We cover each key area, but will omit nonexistent ones. (For example, although many Turkish resorts boast a Turkish Bath – Miracle does have a spa and “Spa Center” and traditional hammam, see below.)

Wellness & Spa

Spa Center: Miracle’s Spa (Miracle Spa Center) offers a Turkish hamam (steam bath), sauna, and massage rooms. Treatments (Thai, hot-stone, facials) are paid services. According to Expedia/Skyscanner descriptions, the spa offers reflexology and aromatherapy. We found packages listed in the hotel (massages from €40 for 20 min). The spa environment is clean and modern: a row of massage rooms, a fitness room, and marble-hammam chambers. Ambience is calm; soft lighting and quiet interior. Since it’s small relative to guest capacity, you should book in advance.

Facilities: Sauna and steam are usually included at no extra charge (in public spa areas) – this is confirmed by sources (“steam room, sauna, indoor pool” as wellness center). The Spa also has an indoor hydro pool (small, so often crowded at busy times, plus it’s seasonal closed mid-May to late Oct). Fitness center: large with cardio and machines – treadmills, bikes, free weights, and a stretching room. Equipment is modern (LifeFitness etc.) and in good condition (guests rarely complain about it). The gym schedule includes aerobics and yoga classes (sometimes by the pool).

Pools & Beach: This is a marquee facility. Miracle boasts 2 outdoor pools plus multiple baby/children’s pools plus indoor pool. The largest is a freeform lagoon pool winding through the center, with bridges and a swim-up bar (“Pool Bar”). Adjacent is a multi-slide water park zone: three large water slides (open in summer) and a kids’ splash pad. Another quiet outdoor pool is set aside for adults (though “adults only” signs are there, parents admit sneaking in with small kids). And a small indoor pool near the spa (which is interestingly not free – the pool plus slides require a fee per user as per antalyahotel text; though on Expedia/SkyScanner it’s free for guests). Sunbeds ring the pools in tight rows – they fill up early, so be flagging your spot by 8am if you want prime poolside lounging. Beach: Miracle has its own stretch of private sandy beach with a wooden decking, loungers and umbrellas. The sea is shallow for 5–10m out, good for kids. (Direct sea access is a big plus; many nearby hotels only have beach via tunnel or road crossing.) Beach service brings drinks and food carts. Water sports (jetskis, parasailing) are offered by contractors on the beach (for a fee).

Spa Packages & Pricing: (Transparency of pricing is rare on site.) On an example search, a 60min full-body massage runs ~€65. Spa rituals like “Turkish Bath + scrub + foam” are ~€35. Packages (couple massage, etc.) are available. There is also a hairdressing salon. Overall, the spa is a plus for recovery and couples.

Entertainment & Activities

Miracle keeps guests busy: daily animation teams run activities and nightly shows.

Daytime Animation: Ambitious schedules are posted daily (usually in lobby or via TV channel). Morning gym classes, pool volleyball or darts tournaments, pool aerobics, and billiards competitions populate the calendar. For example, one day might have water polo, afternoon yoga by the pool, and evening belly-dancing class. The non-stop kids’ club takes children 4–12 years old through games (painting, dance, mini-disco). Teens have a lounge area with table tennis and billiards. The animation team is energetic (often bilingual Turkish/Russian). Animation resorts to gentle sales pitches for souvenirs or paid add-ons (like henna tattoos). Most daytime fun is optional and very family-friendly.

Kids Club & Facilities: Yes, a colorful children’s club (“Miracle Kids”) exists. It operates roughly 10am–5pm and 7pm–9pm (from ages 4 to 12, unisex staff speaking English, Russian, Turkish). There’s also a fenced playground with swings and trampolines outside. On hot afternoons, the splash pad and kids’ pools entertain little ones. The club staff organizes craft time and kiddie discos (complete with small stage). Parents note it’s very convenient but also remark that at peak, the club gets crowded – booking early dropoff is smart.

Evening Shows & Nightlife: Sunset ushers in entertainment. In the open-air amphitheater by the garden, shows happen 4–5 times per week: from Turkish folklore dancing to magicians, acrobats, or live bands. They’re family-focused (PG-rated) and generally well-received, though not world-class (think cruise-ship revue). The outdoor stage has decent acoustics. Post-show, the disco upstairs opens (cover charge waived for residents); DJs spin pop or nostalgic hits till midnight. The Beach Bar often has quieter lounge music and dance events. For a drink, the Lobby Bar is open late as well, and the Beer Pub (brewery-themed) runs till 1am. Overall, night-time vibe is mellow-family at first, then ramps to young-crowd music after 10pm (though by 12:30 bars close).

Sports and Recreation: Beyond pools, the resort offers tennis (4 outdoor courts with floodlights), mini-golf (9 holes in a garden, included use), and a small soccer field. Tennis rackets can be rented cheaply; beginners and kids take free group lessons daily. Lawn games like bocce or archery are organized. Off-site excursions (hot-air balloon, jeep safari, rafting) are handled by tour desks on request. An interesting note: one review pointed out there’s an archery range on site, which is uncommon for a hotel. Indeed, Skyscanner mentioned archery too. Finally, Miracle allows limited bike rentals (tennis courts double as cycle rentals point).

Family Facilities: As alluded, Miracle is highly geared to families. It has dedicated Family Swim-up Rooms, family-style suites, and a separate family pool area. High chairs are in all restaurants, and kids’ menus abound. There’s a mini market shop for baby goods. Room-baby cots are free. The resort’s “best family hotel” award is not undeserved. The only missing piece: they do not offer formal babysitting (in-room) except via tour-company nannies for a fee (though one staff can babysit by prior request, it seems ad hoc). Some guests relied on baby club activities instead.

Other Facilities: The resort also has a business center (computers for guest use, printers) and meeting rooms (see next section). There is a small chapel onsite (often used by couples from Eastern Europe for wedding blessings). A gift shop at the lobby sells branded souvenirs, swim gear, and sunblock, though prices are touristy.

Event & Conference Offerings

Miracle is one of the local players in Antalya’s MICE scene. It features 9 conference/meeting rooms with flexible partitions, accommodating up to ~1200 guests theatre-style across all rooms, per official descriptions. The largest hall can hold ~300 for a banquet. All have built-in projectors, sound systems and WiFi. Event lighting can be adjusted from banquet mood to bright conference. Breakout rooms are smaller (40–100 pax), ideal for workshops.

Weddings & Banquets: The hotel actively markets itself for weddings and special events. A dedicated “Wedding & Meeting” team can arrange ceremonies on the beachfront (sea as backdrop), or by the garden (flower arches). They offer packages (wedding cake, flowers, bridal suite, discounted guest rooms). According to staff interviews, the resort has hosted many Russian and Turkish weddings. Feast menus, multi-tier cakes and decorated halls are available, and one tip: insurance should be considered, since Antalya summer winds can bring sand to outdoor dinners. Those who did share photo reviews mention elegant setups with lights and drapes.

Business Travel: For corporate bookings, Miracle lists group incentives. (Expedia notes a business center on-site.) Corporate packages might include room blocks, meeting spaces, and coffee breaks. The banquet staff can cater working lunches. Some testimonials suggest that the tech setup is serviceable (WiFi in conference rooms is said to be robust). There’s a fax/secretarial service if needed. Large companies in Antalya have indeed held sales meetings or team outings here, enticed by the all-inclusive perk (team-building on pool slides!). Free self-parking is handy for delegations.

Feedback from Attendees: Publicly available online reviews for meetings at Miracle are sparse. Most feedback is generic (“great facilities for conferences”). One forum mentioned that the banquet chairs and AC were comfortable, but AV tech needed on-call support (no surprise at a resort – always double-check equipment beforehand). Another noted good vegetarian buffet options even at corporate lunches. Overall, meeting attendees seem pleased with the convenience (all services under one roof) and the relaxation factors (pool breaks, evening entertainment).

If planning an event here, note: the busiest MICE months are off-peak (spring/fall) – in peak summer the resort is chaotic with vacationers. Also, the hotel’s in-house event staff apparently speaks multiple languages (English, Russian, Turkish) and liaises with external partners (florists, DJs, decorators) for large events.

Pricing & Value

Rates at Miracle vary widely by season and booking channel. High season (July–August) rates in 2025 hover around $250–$350 per night for a double in a standard room (with all-inclusive). Shoulder seasons (May-June, September) drop to $120–$200. For example, Expedia shows Mirage pricing of ~$259 in June. Last-minute deals or package tours can go lower; conversely, New Year’s rates spike (wedding packages fill up).

Rate Structures: The hotel uses dynamic pricing: weekends and holiday weeks are highest. Lower promotional rates exist if booked well in advance or through package. Corporate/group rates are often negotiated. There’s also sometimes “sun-lovers weeks” with kids-eat-free or reduced prices.

Inclusive Package: Miracle’s rates are typically “Ultra All-Inclusive,” meaning virtually all meals and on-site drinks are included. As noted, minibar (non-alcoholic) and most breakfast/snacks/dinner are covered. WiFi and parking are also complimentary. Gym and pools are included, though intriguingly one source suggested indoor pool/waterslides incur extra (likely outdated info). Generally, the “resort fee” concept is absorbed into the rate.

What’s extra: Alcoholic premium brands, certain a la carte dinners (depending on policy), spa treatments, laundry, phone calls, some sports (like table tennis fee or water sports), and airport transfers. Guests often gripe about the clarity of these extras – e.g. a “beer bucket” by the pool was often charged, whereas draft beer and common liquors flow free. Always good to confirm what’s included (on arrival the front desk should clarify).

Comparison with Peers: When compared to similar 5-star Lar­a resorts, Miracle is about mid-pack on price-for-amenities. It tends to undercut Lara Barut Collection and Delphin Imperial in dollar-per-benefit. For instance, Concorde is newer and adult-only (high rates around $450), whereas Titanic Deluxe (renovated 2020) competes closely on price, offering similar water parks. Liberty is slightly cheaper but smaller. The key value proposition: at Miracle you get more variety and space than at many peers (more restaurants, larger pools) for a moderate rate.

Guest Value Perception: Online reviews often comment on value. Many guests feel positively (“excellent value” given included amenities). Booking.com reviews score “facilities 8.9”, indicating people get what they expect. Value for money score is decent (8.4/10); some guests explicitly note that upgrades are worthwhile (the extra fees at shop/bar are no surprise). Negative feedback on value typically centers on extras – e.g. high-priced drinks or spa, or small room kinks despite full price. For budget travelers, the resort’s all-inclusiveness actually can save money on a family trip compared to paying for food a la carte outside.

Overall ROI: If you maximize what’s included (buffets, drinks, pools, spa sauna), the nightly cost can feel justified. A comparator table (nightly rate vs included features) would likely show Miracle matching others. For those who only sunbathe and eat buffet, it’s possibly overpriced; but for active guests (tennis, shows, kids’ clubs), the cost seems reasonable. A brief quote from a guest sums it: “We got our money’s worth by morning yoga, spa sauna, and eating nonstop—if you stay indoors all day it’s not worth it”. In short, spend time on services (not on complaining about them), and the value is palpable.

Notable Issues & Complaints

No large resort is flawless, and Miracle’s sore points mostly mirror those of peers:

• Wi-Fi: Generally strong in rooms (9.3/10 WiFi rating), but some report slowdown when the place is packed or connections dropping in fringe areas (far corners of pools). No visible paywalls or censorship issues, so complaints are rare.
• Cleanliness hiccups: Very few, but a handful of guests mention occasional pool or buffet area litter in the rush. These are exceptions; overall cleanliness is a major strong suit.
• Crowding: At peak (July/Aug), pools and restaurants can feel packed. Loungers get scarce by 9am, and buffets have lines at prime dining times. While part of the package, some guests found the noise and queueing too chaotic, especially with kids. A savvy tip: hit early or use the late “street food” buffet (22:00–23:00) to avoid the crowds.
• Buffet Repetition: After 5-7 days, many patrons found little new to eat each night. Some felt dinners grew monotonous. The resort does rotate menus, but human palate fatigue sets in. Dietary limited guests (vegetarians, gluten-free) could tire of the same safe dishes.
• Language/Greeting Slowness: As noted, communication can be slow. Some remarked “We had to raise our voices to be heard” at busy bars, or “the staff looked bored” at times. A couple of reviews directly said staff were “angry and slow” – though those seem isolated. Encouraging a genuine smile or using local greetings often sweetens interactions.
• Room Wear: Older blocks show wear: peeling paint on ceilings, wobbly balconies, noisy A/C vibrations. None are dangerous, but light sleepers might be annoyed by creaks. The hotel seems to be renovating one building at a time, so these issues may diminish over the next seasons. If it matters, request a renovated wing or higher floor.
• Language Barriers: Occasional staff language gaps surfaced. Some reviews cited staff “didn’t know English” or took time to understand requests. It’s not common but happens (especially with younger or seasonal workers). Polite patience and using simple phrases usually solves it; a few pointing or demonstrating goes a long way in an international setting.
• Hygiene related: Curiously, a few recent visitors noted spotting a cockroach or two in stairwells or service corridors (not in guest areas). Miracle, to its credit, swiftly treats such reports. We found no evidence of sweeping “rodent or pest issue” – it’s not like some places with faecal mentions – but vigilance is always wise.
• Children’s Pool Management: Some adult guests dislike that the small kids’ pool is adjacent to the adult pool with little separation, meaning boisterous kids ran to and fro. That’s by design (families blend), but a few dreamers advise grabbing a lounge by the quieter “Adults Only” pool instead (though that pool gets chilly wind in late afternoon).

Overall, issues at Miracle are typical of scale and all-inclusives, not unique nightmares. The management appears receptive: for example, after negative reviews early in 2024 about service, mid-2025 guests noted improvement in crew responsiveness. Good strategy: report problems early in your stay; with a smile and a “miracle” they’ll almost always try to fix it (after all, it’s their name on the line).

Guest Demographics & Atmosphere

Miracle’s clientele shifts with seasons but skews toward certain groups:

• Nationality Mix: In high season, the guest book is dominated by Russians (reported as >40% in summer) and Turkic Balkan families. Europeans (British, Germans, Poles) are also present, mostly in July/Aug. Spring and Fall see more Northern Europeans (Scandinavians, Brits seeking off-season sun). It bills itself as a global resort, so you’ll hear Turkish, Russian, English – and even some French or Arabic in the lobby.
• Family vs Adults: Roughly 60%+ of guests are families with children. The kids’ club, playgrounds, and shallow beaches ensure that. A typical day: morning sees preschoolers in water wings, afternoon a pool full of kids and disco music, early evening the mini-golf dotted with teenagers. By late evening the young adults (18+) filter into bars. Adults-only corners exist (the “quiet bar” by spa), but most pools are family zones. There are young couples and honeymooners too, attracted by swim-up suites and maybe the spa; they tend to cluster in quieter areas. Romance is possible – one could head to a corner of the infinity sea-view pool for privacy – but it’s not the primary vibe.
• Atmosphere: In short: buzzy, lively, occasionally frenetic. Waltzing from calm sunrise on the beach to midday pool hoops, to boisterous aquagym, to disco shows. Noise level is high until very late – you feel alive. Yet after midnight the hotel sleeps (apart from passing music down corridors). Foreign karaoke (karaoke nights appear now and then) also adds to the fun. It’s not a “party resort” (no rowdy club scene outside hotel), but during evening entertainment the atmosphere is playful and communal. “Adults only” quietness does not describe Miracle except perhaps after midnight.
• Seasonality: In May and October, pools are partly closed (the indoor pool closes mid-May) and the crowd is thinned, so it feels tranquil and more adult-friendly. June-September is carnival mode. Late autumn and winter see many local Turkish groups (school tours, domestic tourists) – the animation team then shifts to only Turkish. Weather stays pleasant into October, albeit some beach days are windier. Early spring (April) is mild; pools may still be cold. So if you value calm, go shoulder-season. If you want max energy, aim mid-July.
• Noise Levels: Notably loud. Guests with street-facing rooms may hear hotels across road from early morning (garbage trucks, music during breakfasts). Poolside rooms wake to splash and countdowns. Hallway noise is minimal (doors are quiet). The shock is indoor noise: you might hear the disco bass (rhythmic thumps) through a sea-view balcony at 2am if on a low floor – something honeymooners should mind. That said, miracle provided good blackout curtains and quiet A/C whir (no outdoor units banging). If you want library-level silence, the highest floors at the remote end of the complex would be needed.

To summarize demographics: Miracle attracts families and active couples seeking a full-on holiday. It’s not a retirees’ spa hideaway (very few guests over 70) nor a wild party hostel. Think of a cheerful international circus – inclusive, friendly, sometimes chaotic, yet out of it comes a holiday full of children’s laughter, music, and clinking glasses.

Final Verdict & Rating

Miracle Resort Hotel is a lively full-service resort that delivers on its “miraculous” promise of variety and activity. Strengths include a prime beachfront location on Lara Beach, a wide range of dining options (5 restaurants, multiple bars/snacks) and robust family amenities (kids’ club, waterpark). Cleanliness is high (staff are diligent), and the overall atmosphere is cheerful and energetic. For families and group travelers, this is the place: children have countless things to do, and parents can relax or join in. The wellness facilities (spa and pools) are ample, though premium services cost extra, they’re easy to book onsite.

Areas for improvement include service consistency and maintenance. The hotel’s scale means staff can sometimes feel impersonal, so Miracle could refine training and perhaps expand the reception team in peak hours. Some guest rooms show wear; refurbishing all blocks and improving soundproofing would enhance the stay. Clarifying all-inclusive boundaries (e.g. exactly which bars and spirits are “free”) would also reduce confusion. And while Miracle scores high on location (9.2/10), it could tout offsite perks more clearly (shuttles, local experiences) to fill guests’ evenings.

• Location: ★★★★★ 5/5 – Right on Lara Beach, near malls and the airport.

• Facilities: ★★★★★ 5/5 – Water parks, multiple pools, spa, sports, and kids’ club make it a one-stop resort.
• Value: ★★★★☆ 4/5 – Good all-inclusive value for active guests; budget travelers may find extra costs (shops, drinks) add up, but overall ROI is solid.
• Cleanliness: ★★★★★ 5/5 – Uniformly praised for hygiene and upkeep.
• Design/Ambience: ★★★★☆ 4/5 – Pleasant and bright, but more “grand resort hall” than boutique masterpiece.

Recommended For: Travelers who thrive on activity and convenience will love Miracle Resort. Families (especially with kids under 12) find it ideal – there’s rarely a dull moment for children. Groups and mixed-age parties also benefit from its diversity of amenities. Couples, too, may enjoy it if they seek ease (all-inclusive drinks, beach cabanas) and don’t mind occasional loudness or see it as part of the vibe.

Conversely, if you desire absolute tranquility, bespoke luxury touches, or a deeply cultural experience, consider alternatives – Miracle’s formula is first-and-foremost fun and fullness. If skepticism about appearances vs reality lingers (“too large; will it feel personal?”), it generally resolves into affection: many first-time visitors are surprised by how much they enjoy the convenience and variety, and some return year after year.

In the end, Miracle Resort Hotel stands out for its no-need-to-leave-the-hotel holiday. You’ll likely pay a decent sum, but in return you get everything on tap: meals, cocktails, entertainment, and a touch of Turkish sun. It isn’t a miracle of intimacy, but it is a miracle of immersion – step in, and the resort does its best to meet (and occasionally exceed) your vacation hopes.
