Read lots of the reviews that said they go year after year, I couldnt say I didnt enjoy it because I did, it was just that I found it to be very over crowded aound the pool and garden areas you felt as though you were on top of the person next to you wether you wanted to be or not it was just hard luck the queing at 7am and the running for beds at 8am was pathetic and we call the germans I dont know what the management could do to stop this, never did this myself needless to say I never got to get around the pool I was stuffed in the garden area. I think ive been spoilt as we have been to large complexs in Turkey where you do have more spaces.On the positive side the food was fantastic couldnt fault it the Sunday dinner was lovely as was the Al La Carte .entertainment team work hard for their wages. Pool Bar on the evening was a bit flat others had told us in previous years something was always going on around there but not this year, main Bar was popular as it was open to anyone outside . The rooms were ok and cleaned each day . Restaurant manager seemed to have his favorites we noticed .Lovely hotel but I dont think its a deserves a Thomson platinum.

Recently stayed here for last 2weeks of August, and our decision was based on excellent reviews on Tripadvisor site. We were a little disappointed by some features of the hotel and town. Rooms were very clean but a little small, the race for sunbeds at 8am is a comedy sketch with people waiting at the tape barriers from 7.15am and rushing for their place at 8am. The pool is too small for the number of guests and in turn the area around the pool is too small-the option of the sunbeds on the grass is better with more shade and quieter but grass is a little muddy 1st thing due to heavy watering of the garden. Entertainers worked very hard from 10am until 1am but there is not a lot to keep teenagers amused. The restaurant is excellent with huge choice of fresh salad, main courses, puddings but why why why roast beef and yorkshire pudding on Sundays. Hotel staff are genuinely friendly, cleaners and waiters were always willing to help and made our stay special. Hotel is all-inclusive and you were regularly offered drinks/snacks etc. We felt very happy that our children were secure wandering around hotel grounds and security were discrete but effective. Oludeniz town is packed with restaurant and bars-quite expensive and touristy, scuba diving at european diving centre very professional and used by Thompson etc

Don't read any bad reviews for this hotel, they are being ultra fussy. The hotel IS a 5* beach resort hotel. If you want a different type of 5* experience, check out Knightsbridge. We just returned yesterday from a two week holiday here and we were very happy with EVERYTHING!
After a 90 minute transfer from Dalaman airport, we arrived with about 30 other guests. We we're very quickly given our room key and a porter brought our bags along about 5mins later. The room was spotless, and every day when we returned to our room the beds had flowers left on them, the fridge was stocked with a big bottle of cool water and a few fruit drinks (the fridge isn't restocked, but the water can be filled from the mineral water dispensers). The staff can all get by in English, everytime you say "thank you" they say "You're welcome"
You can see various videos on youtube for the hotel, one of which shows the sunbed rush at 8am. The hotel is strict about the time at which sunbeds can be "reserved" with towels. We did participate on a couple of occasions, but it wasn't that bad. Plenty of beds are in the gardens and we STONGLY recommend using the beach just infront of the hotel, where sun beds can be hired for 5lira each. You will need some beach shoes to go in the sea as it is a bit stoney after the water line. The hotel pool is fresh water clorinated (some pools are sea water!) and the pool boys spend the whole day offering drinks and collecting cups. You are treated like royalty.
This brings me onto the food, which being an all-inclusive hotel is very important. Please note we have stayed 5* all-inclusive, in Turkey and Greece before, but the Belcekiz beach is a class apart, it is wonderful. At every meal (inc breakfast) you have the choice of 30ish salads, 30ish main courses and 30ish puddings in a buffet style. The food is varied everyday and a "special" meal is available (steak, stirfry, chinese, sweet and sour etc). The quantities of food really have to been seen to be believed. We love our food and loved the variety. Not once did we eat in any one of the other resturants, including the hotels own a-la-carte, available in Oui deniz (pronounced Ola denis). The food is always fresh and there is something there that even the most fussy 8 year old will eat.
The staff serving you the meals are everywhere, if your glass is empty or your plate cleared, it will be removed and refilled within 30 seconds! They work SO hard and look to be enjoying what they are doing. The Restaurant manager (Memet) deserves a medal, he walks round all day with his walky-talkie making sure everything is perfect, smiling and managing his army of staff. Concerned about flies while you eat or around the food? They light a little dish of something and all the flies disappear. We would also recommend the peach juice as a different soft drink.
Oh, the hotel also provides fresh beach and room towels everyday, so you don't need to pack those.
This brings me on to the best bit, the entertainment team. Nelly, Eddy, Sunni, Ebol, Kenny, Harkan and a few others. Firstly, they arnt too intrusive. If you want to be left alone and not play darts, pool, table tennis, water polo and other activities, they will not be too pushy. If you do, its great fun, especially the shows they put on most evenings as the hotel has its own outside theatre next to the pool. We found out that the entertainment team also have some proper training (various drama schools), so you're in for a laugh. Again, you will see reviews that call the entertainment "corny" or worse. ITS A BEACH RESORT, if you want better, goto Drury lane.
The main high street is just round the corner from the hotel and seems to do all the normal "genuine fakes" and has a decent array of shops where you can pick up anything you may have forgotten and all your souveniers. You will also see a LOT of paragliding, but beware on the insurance.
We also went to Sugar beach in the blue lagoon, which was a pleasant change and very tranquil as motor driven boats are forbidden from entering the lagoon.
We did the Belcekiz hotel one-day boat trip (accompanied by Eddy). It was FANTASTIC. Stunning surroundings, great food and good fun.
What I did find very interesting is that most guests appeared to have been to the Belcekiz before, and nearly everyone is from the UK. The hotel was also full and yet didn't seem to be too crowded. A big thank you to Karen & Sue (the Thompson reps).
Our room was in the annex just behind the hotel. This is the best place to be as it was quiet and modern.
We spent about four days choosing this holiday, and nearly went to a number of other med destinations. We're glad we went to the Belcekiz Beach hotel, sad to be home now and it is the first resort we've ever been to where we would consider going back.

I can't say this is the best hotel I've ever been to but my wife & I did enjoy our stay. We were disappointed that our room was so small for a 5 star, but we got used to it. For an all inclusive they served some very good selections at the restaurant. Mehmet does an outstanding job. I can see how this place is so popular for families with kids. The entertainment team certainly kept all the kids busy. We enjoyed the adults only pool area and the wonderful smile we got every day from Cindy (Emine) at the bar. She was a delight & every body loved her happy attitude. We've been to other places in Turkey where a lot of the guest don't speak English so I enjoyed talking with a lot of the guests and comparing notes about life in the UK vs USA. Seeing all the para-gliders landing by us at the start of dinner was always enjoyable.
I do recommend the tours to Pamukkale/Hierapolis & Dalyan. If you want hot & sunny weather in August, this is the place to be! Being a Californian I thought I was used to the sun but this place had me sweating for sure! All in all we liked our visit here.
