What sets this hotel apart from the others on our list is the kids club hours. NICO Club runs from 10:00 to 17:30, then opens again from 20:30 to 23:00. The evening session is the one that matters: it is what makes a quiet dinner or a spa session actually possible.
The hotel belongs to the IC Hotels group and sits in Kundu, 15 km from Antalya Airport.
A note on the name
IC Hotels has restructured the naming of this property. Its official site now lists it as Green Palace & Villas, while booking sites still show two separate listings: Green Palace – Kids Concept and Green Palace & Villas. The information on this page covers the Kids Concept section. Ask us about the difference before booking, because the difference in facilities is real.
Location
- Antalya Airport (AYT): 15 km, roughly 20 to 25 minutes
- Antalya city centre: 25 km
- TerraCity shopping centre: about 14.5 km
- Perge archaeological site: about 17.5 km
The beach — read this
The beach is not directly in front of the building. Sources put the distance between the property and the beach at 750 to 950 metres. The beach itself is private to the hotel, 200 metres long and 43 metres deep, with a pier.
We say this plainly because the difference between “on the sea” and “eight hundred metres away” shows up on arrival day, not before. If a beachfront position is a priority for you, ask us about Nirvana Cosmopolitan or Limak Lara in the same area.
Rooms — 429 in total
179 standard rooms, 200 standard quadruple rooms, 29 family rooms, 12 junior suites, 2 King suites, 1 presidential suite, 1 Kids Suite and 5 adapted rooms. Sizes range from 26 to 213 m².
Two hundred quadruple rooms is a striking number: this is a hotel genuinely built to keep a family in one room rather than splitting it across two. The presidential and King suites have a private jacuzzi that is fully enclosed and screened.
Board and restaurants
The official system is High End All Inclusive in summer and All Inclusive in winter. The room minibar includes all drinks, and the aquapark is free.
The main restaurant is Sofra, a buffet with vegetarian, diet and children’s menus. Five à la carte restaurants: Wabi (Asian), Casa Mexicana, Blue Fish, Red Steak & Wine, and Cavalli (Italian), which admits children from age 12 only. Watch that age condition at Cavalli if you are travelling with small children.
Eight bars: the 24-hour Lobby Bar, Aloha Beach Bar, pool bars 1 and 2, the Vitamin Bar, IC Cafe, Free Zone Disco Bar and the Mixology & Sushi Bar, plus a sunset snack and a seasonal beach snack.
Pools and aquapark
Six pools officially: the activity pool, the main pool, the OASE quiet pool, an indoor pool, a children’s pool and an indoor children’s pool. The outdoor pools are heated.
The aquapark covers 236 m² and has a minimum height requirement of 125 cm. That condition matters: younger children cannot use the main aquapark, but they have a completely separate water area with a baby pool, an Aqua Tower and a Spray Action Park.
Children — NICO Club
Baby Club 0-4, Mini Club 4-8, Mini Club 8-12 and Teenage Club 12-16. Hours are 10:00-17:30 and 20:30-23:00.
Indoors: cinema rooms with films in several languages, a PlayStation 4 area, a creative kitchen with cooking workshops for children, Lego and soft play areas, face painting, board games and computers. Outdoors: a funfair, a wooden playground with a sand area, the baby pool, water tower and spray park, and a small theatre with daily shows. A babysitter is available for a fee.
Spa and fitness — Lilium
Turkish bath, sauna, steam room, six treatment rooms, massage, body scrubs, aromatherapy, facials, a gym and a barber.
Sport and entertainment

Before you book
Arabic-speaking staff are mentioned on TripAdvisor, but other sources list only English, Turkish, Russian and German. We confirm this for you before the booking is fixed.
Halal food and an alcohol-free room are available on prior request, not by default; we arrange both as part of the booking. Alcohol is served in the eight bars under the all-inclusive system. The beach and pools are mixed and there is no women-only section. The OASE pool is quiet and suits guests who want a calmer atmosphere. A reminder: the beach is 750-950 metres from the building.
