The Property — Lonicera Resort
Lonicera Resort is a compact 3-star on Avsallar’s main strip, a ten-minute walk from the beach. The lobby feels like a clean, functional Turkish holiday base: polished tiles, a small bar, and a reception team who can book a water-park shuttle. It suits couples and families who want a pool, a breakfast buffet, and easy access to bars without paying for a full all-inclusive.
Chronicles of Avsallar
Avsallar began as a quiet fishing village on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, part of the ancient region of Pamphylia. It grew steadily in the 1980s with tourism development along the Alanya corridor, transforming into a mid-market resort town. The skyline is now a dense strip of hotels, apartments, and restaurants. Locally, it retains a small-town feel, with a Saturday market and a mix of German, Russian and British visitors. Contemporary identity is purely sun-and-sea leisure, with no major historical landmarks within the town itself.
Best Time to Visit
Full Avsallar guide →Best months
May, June and September: high 20s to low 30s °C, lighter crowds, and sea temperatures already warm by late May. Beach and pool are busy but not frantic.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season. Average highs hit 34°C, humidity rises, and Avsallar’s population swells with European package tourists. Hotel prices can double from May levels. No single festival drives it; the peak is purely school-holiday driven.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: daytime 22-26°C, cooler evenings, and prices 30-50% lower than July. Fewer families, but most restaurants and shuttles still run.
Weather & packing
A north-easterly breeze known locally as the 'poyraz' can kick up in the late afternoon, even on hot days. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for outdoor evening dining.
Live City Briefing — Avsallar
- The D400 coastal road between Alanya and Manavgat has ongoing bridge repairs until September 2026, adding 20-30 minutes to local bus routes and your transfer from Antalya Airport.
- A new municipal water-park opened on the Antalya Road in April 2026, about 1.5 km from Lonicera, with free shuttle buses from most resort hotels.
- Avsallar's weekly Saturday market now has extended stall permits for handmade souvenirs and local textiles rather than just fruit and clothes, making it a sharper place to shop for gifts.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lonicera Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 or 3 facing the pool or side garden rather than the main road. These floors are high enough for a view but avoid top-floor heat and potential roof noise. The hotel is a 3-star building so upper-floor rooms typically get less street disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (floor 0) near the reception or lobby area, as they'll pick up foot traffic, late arrivals, and early check-out noise. Also avoid rooms directly overlooking the main street (Avsallar's coastal road) due to traffic and taxi drop-offs. Rooms at the end of corridors near service doors or lift shaft tend to hear staff movement and machinery.
Best views
Pool or garden view, oriented away from the coastal road. Since the address is Avsallar (a resort town on the Mediterranean), rooms with a south-facing balcony give a glimpse of the sea but the best views are over the pool with hills beyond. Street-facing rooms see only the road and other buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 — away from street-level and bar/restaurant noise common in 3-star resort hotels. These floors usually sit above the pool deck and below any rooftop terrace or mechanical area if present.
🔊 Noise notes
Avsallar's main street is busy with taxis, minibuses, and shops. The hotel likely has a bar area or evening entertainment (common in 3-star Turkish resort hotels) which can be heard in rooms above it. Lift machinery and cleaning trolleys often cause noise, especially in rooms next to the lift shaft.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the side of the building opposite the main entrance to dodge bar noise and early-morning taxi horns. 2. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs — many 3-star hotels here have thin walls and lively evening programmes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
