We rested at the hotel in September, the weather is good at this time, the sea is very warm. I thought that September is no longer the season and there will be few people, but no. The hotel was full. The check-in took place not as frightened at 14.00, but at about 12 we went ourselves to the reception desk and we were settled. They wanted to check in for twenty on arrival, but apparently there were no rooms really free or they were not cleaned. To be honest, the day after an overnight flight is a wasted day. Coral could make a meeting with the hotel guide on the first day so that you can buy excursions in advance. They wanted to fly to Istanbul, but the places were only on the last day of rest, the guide dissuaded. He said that the flight from Istanbul at night might be delayed, and we had to fly home early in the morning. Regarding the hotel guide, we had Dilgam. Excellent guide, very competent and decent, gave his laptop to copy files. As for other excursions, we went rafting. Rafting is great, not scary at all, the threshold level is only 1 or 1.5, that is, everything is safe. The nature around is beautiful, the mountains are green. We were photographed and filmed, I never take videos from excursions, but they bought it, I liked the shooting, the river is very beautiful and nature. The second excursion - went out to the open sea on a three-deck catamaran, liked the sea, looked at the Antalya waterfall, the mountains, the mouse island. Well, for general development, you can go once. As for the hotel, the territory is large, beautiful, 3 swimming pools (one indoor in the sauna, bath), slides, several bars, the length of the beach is good, sand (as, indeed, everywhere in Belek). Many people say that the sea is dirty, it's all because of the sandy bottom, it's just opaque, when even the smallest waves, but clean. The rooms in the hotels are small and the renovation is not very fresh and the canteen is very dirty. Due to the large number of tourists, the waiters can not cope. There is a lot of food, fruits, sweets, meat, side dishes, salads, but every day they ate the same thing, they just picked up what is more or less suitable. Like this food or not - it's individual. But there is a choice, different meat, fish, crayfish, there were a lot of sweets, but baklava was rare =( We were never hungry. Drinks are diluted greatly, alcohol is also so-so. It's like that everywhere, in any similar hotel. There was always a queue before opening at 19.00 for dinner, once we came at 21.30 and there were places and food. You can have dinner in an open restaurant, in the morning you only need to take a coupon, and in the afternoon without any coupons. And in the a la carte restaurant you need to sign up immediately in the first days, there is a queue. The rooms are cleaned well, they made beauty with flower petals on the bed and laid out the left shells in a heart, towels were changed every day, even if they were not thrown on the floor (as indicated in the hotel concept). In general, here you need to understand where you are going and at what cost. You can find fault endlessly, but if you don’t like all this, then you need to relax in Europe or in more expensive hotels. I was pleasantly surprised by nature itself, the place, pine groves, very beautiful. Belek is a young and respectable resort in Turkey and there are no very bad hotels here, in principle, mostly hotels on the first line. I used to be sure that Kemer is more interesting by nature, but now Belek is in my heart. I don’t consider Alanya and Side at all, Side is a desert, Alanya is far from the airport and hotels for such a price are not at all beautiful. In Belek, we also went for regular souvenirs, pashminas and sweets. We got some very nice sellers. We were satisfied with the communication with them. We also ended up in a mosque in Belek, we were escorted there by a minister, gave us scarves, allowed us to take pictures, showed us everything in the mosque. In the end, of course, they gave him baksheesh. In general, I really liked the rest, I repeat, nature pleased me. It’s just that I don’t even like the Caucasus, but the Crimean nature, but it’s good here too. Have a nice rest, new impressions and bright emotions and a positive attitude. I will answer all your questions.
