We had originally booked for our usual hotel, but after all the poor reviews we changed to the Belcekiz and we are all so glad we did!!!!!
The staff are superb and the food is devine. Thanks to all the staff and a big 'Merhaba' from us.
The pool service just makes you lazy, drinks brought to you while you sunbathe.......the snack-bar menu is more than adequate and the restaurant staff where very attentative, from drinks to clearing the tables and the after work dancing they performed was truly amazing!!!
The entertainment team make sure that there is plenty to do if you want to do it but never pressurise you into getting involved if you just want to relax by the pool.
I can recommend paying the extra and try the thai menu. The service was 2nd to none and we had a meal for 2 with a bottle of wine and dessert for £30......well worth it!
The kids club was great, nice little break for the younger ones during the heat of the day and having english speaking workers was a great plus.
The gardens were beautiful, well maintained with gorgeous flowers and scents.
The room service was excellent, happy smiling maids that couldn't do enough for you.
The Grumble...
The rooms are small, sleeping upto 3, twin/double bed and pull-out chair. There aren't any family rooms and having 2 kids it's a pain and costly to have to book 2 rooms and spend the holiday 'apart'. Maybe this is deliberate as it does knock up the cost of the holiday quite a lot. It would also be an idea to have a kettle in the room for early morning/late night hot drinks.
The Plaza Bar can be very busy on a night, which means that residence of the hotel sometimes struggle to get seats/tables. The service can sometimes be slow and it can sometimes seem as if the 'paying' customers get served before guests. They also refuse to give more than 1 drink at a time per guest which can be quite frustrating when you have to wait sometimes 20mins for orders.....
The beds around the pool go very quickly....they allow you to enter at 8 and they are usually all gone by 8.05!!
The music can be repetative, the same tunes in the same order every night, maybe a new playlist is in order.......
There was a Queen with a litter of kittens living near the kiddy's club and unfortunately, one day my 7yr daughter was quite disturbed that one of the hotel staff, the one with the large Alsation type dog, was throwing stones at them, hitting one of the kittens in the eye. Not a good thing for a 7yr old to witness.......
I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone and we will be booking for next year......we've heard a rumour that it's going Platinum next year so be quick as the price will probably go up....
