We rested at the Club Belinda 4 * hotel from 29.06 to 13.07. 2011. Three of us went - me, my mother and my son 3.5 years old.
Beach.
Sandy, there is also sand in the water, the depth is gradual.

Walk 5 minutes from the farthest building. fast step. Well, probably 10 for walking. The road to the beach was cultivated with us - now there is a layer of gravel that is poured on a black substance such as bitumen. A tractor with a trailer is transported there, but it is not clear on what schedule, we were able to drive it up once in 2 weeks. The restaurant on the beach is open from 12.30-14.30, it is quite possible to eat there so as not to go to the hotel in the heat. The assortment is the same as in the main, only there are no soups and smaller fruits. It is better to have your own beach towels, but they are also issued in the hammam for a $10 deposit. which are then returned (upon departure), with this money you can take 3-4 towels. They can be washed, but this is at your expense. On the beach there are about 10 rows of awnings separated by a wooden walkway. You can almost always find a place. Also on the beach in front of the sand there are paths for evening walks, there is a lot of greenery, benches, shorter than the promenade, beautiful. I read somewhere that sunbeds cannot be moved close to the water, people put them directly into the water and none of the staff was against it.
Number.
We had a double room with bed. Safe $3 per day, we did not pay because our suitcases are locked with a code, i. e. we had 2 safes for free. There was a rope on the balcony (thanks to the previous vacationers), but it’s better to bring your own, we also took clothespins. Our building was in the far row from the pool and restaurant (F), the third floor overlooking the flowers and the fence. Mosquitoes were very annoying (because there is a river nearby). The fumikator with pills did not help at all, they asked the reception for a product to puff, at first they said buy it yourself, then they brought it to the room, it is quite poisonous, apparently not only from mosquitoes, but also from people, in short, they could not solve the issue with mosquitoes. And they ate us. I talked with ours from other buildings, they say that mosquitoes didn’t get them so much, it’s best not to open the balcony, use the air conditioner, but we hung it over our son’s bed, so it was turned on only during our absence. On TV 3 Russian channels. The room was cleaned every day, 3 times already in the afternoon with us, on one day it was not cleaned at all, I think this is due to the large number of guests. There is nothing terrible, we are not upset. There was a 1.5 liter bottle of water in the minibar, then you can add water from a cooler in a restaurant or bar.
Nutrition.

A lot of stewed vegetables, salads, fruits (watermelons, apples, oranges, peaches all the time, cherries 1 time in 3 days), also sweets, meat mainly chicken and turkey, not very fish, lamb and beef were less often given. Ice cream every evening (viscous local). Food can be taken to the room, we took fruit to the beach, stored in the evening. Breakfast from 7 to 11, lunch from 12.30-14.30, from 14.30 to 15.45 afternoon snack by the pool. From 12.30-16.00 they bake cakes with cheese and herbs, they give them ayran - a local sour-milk drink, tasty, well quenches thirst. Another from 16 to 17 is also a type of afternoon snack. Dinner from 18.30 to 21.00. Late dinner from 23.00 to 23.30. In total, we have only one "hungry hour" from 17.00 to 18.30.
1 time you can go to the a la carte restaurant for free, it is Turkish, an appointment at the reception.
With an early departure to the airport, they give a dry ration, only a hamburger and that's it, so it's better to take water, fruit, buns in advance at the restaurant.
General information.
There is a mini zoo on site. Peacocks, chickens, guinea pigs, parrots in cages, ducks, geese by the pond, two even eat from their hands. If you leave the hotel towards the city and turn right there will be a river, you can also feed the turtles. If you go further there will be a market, you can also get to it in a tractor trailer (it carries somewhere until 8-9 pm). The market itself is open until 12 midnight. This market is not the cheapest and inferior a bit.
There is a leather and fur store on site, they offer a free shuttle to their store in the city, jackets for 350-700 dollars. and higher, shorter went in vain. We were still offended that we did not buy anything. If you are interested in bags, leatherette is everywhere in the market next to the hotel. for 100 dollars Leather only in one! store behind glass doors, the price is the same, but I took it for 85.
Excursions can be taken at the info-meeting, the price is from 20 USD. for an adult. We went to the dolphinarium. They also praise a pirate yacht, but this is for children aged 8. When traveling on excursions, you can buy water on the bus from the driver, 2 bottles. 0.5 liters for 1 dollar.
The contingent of vacationers at the time of our stay - Russians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Turks, Germans, Poles were few.
Hammam.

It is better to go through a representative of TUI / TURTESS (they are always on duty at the reception) for 40 dollars. It will be peeling, washing with foam and massage of the whole body with one aroma oil. We went on the second day. In the hammam itself they offer for 55 (because a mud mask for the face and a few aroma oils during the massage are also included). In short, overpay 15 dollars. doesn't make much sense.
Animation.
As it was said before, in German, but everything is clear, because individual words are translated, if something important, the Russian-speaking girl reports in full.
During the day boccia, volleyball, gymnastics, aerobics in the pool.
In the evening at 20.30 mini-disco for children, at 21.00 show (dance, humor, lottery), there were also invited dance groups. Show somewhere until 22.00, then a disco for adults until 23.00 or 23.30.
For kids.
Pool one without slides, the second with slides. Mini-club from 4 years old, children. armchairs in the restaurant, children. playground, and a sandbox under a canopy. The son ate puree soups (given in the afternoon and evening), fruits, vermicelli, potatoes, pancakes in the morning. There is no special menu.
I recommend this hotel to everyone. I will answer all questions.
