Editor’s review
When it comes to choosing destinations as a parent, I always look for places that offer a lot of activities for children, and if we’ve done Disney Land several times, then we are surely looking for something new. When I heard about this new place being the first kids hotel concept in the world and it’s located in Antalya which is just a few hours away, I decided to take my kids and discover it.
It is called the “Land of Legends” true, but once you’re inside they call it “ the kingdom”! And indeed, it is a children’s haven and kingdom! Think of any detail that your child at any age may need or request, and there you have it.
A colourful world, beautiful interiors, and characters that you only meet at the Land of Legends and not a replicated version of Disney or Marvel characters.
Even kids have a juice bar where they meet each other, compete on play station games ( FIFA 2016 in my son’s case) and even have their own IPADs to play games that are already monitored and age appropriate for them. The staff are super friendly and are always around to join the kids and play with them. The highlights were a lot: from the tens of aqua-rides to swimming with the dolphins to feeding the penguins and to one of my son’s favourites, well mine too, the Wave Pool.
This place was just the perfect destination for a “Family” and not only kids. There, I had my first encounter with the Dolphins and danced with “Honey” as she was called. I couldn’t point anything negative. I tried though but couldn’t. But what tops it all is the daily night show that is created specially for “ The Land of Legends” by Franco Dragone, the creator and director of the Cirque de Soleil shows. Every night between 9:30 and 10:30 pm, time stops and you are directly transferred to a magical world of fantasy and dreams where the characters of this kingdom come to life to welcome you in their own special way..
