We have previously rested at the RIXOS Belek hotel four times. In October 2016, after a two-year break due to well-known reasons, my wife and I, I must say after long deliberation, again chose the RIXOS Belek hotel for two weeks. And, we were not mistaken, we still remember this magnificent vacation.
What was this magnificence?
Warm, despite the first half of October, the transparent sea. Air - 30, water - 26 degrees. A wonderful, well-equipped beach with clean changing rooms, toilets and showers. Sufficient, constantly available and freely available replaceable beach towels. Sun loungers are located for every taste, both on the sand and on the green lawn, tents or canopies with sofas. If you want - the sea, if you want - a pool, everything is at your service. Surprisingly, even along the beach line there are lawns and small flower beds. The sports instructors are a bit noisy during charging, and sometimes the music around the beach bar is too loud. A double line of buoys reliably protects swimmers from jet skis, boats, skiers, surfers and skydivers. Very attentive animators working on the beach tried to solve any minor problems that arose, even taming the loud music. A great solution is to have a large free-access refrigerator always filled with drinking water and other non-alcoholic drinks in the beach bar area.

A separate topic is a bar on the beach. A magician, a fakir, I don’t know how to call him correctly - the bartender ARTYOM, the highest professional, an unsurpassed expert in his field. It works beautifully and very quickly, serving up to four people at the same time, laconic, but very friendly and benevolent. He masterfully prepares cocktails for all tastes, but we especially liked his non-alcoholic fruit cocktails made from natural ingredients. I must say that the children of our friends told us about this bartender back in Moscow, when we were preparing for a trip and choosing a hotel, so we were ready to meet him, but to see and try this!! ! Managed to surprise. I would like to meet him again in the same place, such pros should be protected, because. bringing up a new one is much more expensive.
At the second bar, which is located by the pool, there is a free, never empty, refrigerated counter with a variety of ice creams, varieties 5-7,
The path along the seashore and the shady alleys of the park invite vacationers to walk. The abundance of luxurious coniferous trees, exotic plants, palm trees, illuminated paths, a singing fountain not only invite you to an evening exercise, but also create a unique holiday atmosphere.
The problem of rest of guests with children has been successfully solved - a play complex for small children is located in such a way that it does not affect the rest of the residents at all.
The restaurants of the hotel are of particular delight. Exquisite cuisine, the highest quality, an extensive range, freshness of the products used for cooking, the constant availability of sea fish and seafood, a rich selection of herbs and vegetables, an abundance of fragrant and juicy fruits, a variety of pastries and oriental sweets. A separate topic is the interiors of restaurants:
- originality and originality of styles;
- beautiful solid furniture;
- the comfort of the premises and the attentiveness of the staff;
- rich decor and beautiful dishes;
- melodic sound of music in the evenings;
- the captivating beauty of restaurants both with a sea view and a view of the courtyard with a pond.
All this fully applies to both the main restaurant and the Ala Carte restaurants. My wife and I, who vacationed in 32 countries of the world, visited Dubai, at the Al Kasser Hotel, declare with all responsibility that the cuisine of the RIXOS Hotel in Belek is superior to the cuisine of the Al Kasser Hotel in Dubai.
Still, Turkish cuisine without kebab is not a kitchen. And the kebab at RIXOS Belek is prepared in such a way that after trying it once, you are guaranteed not to be able to pass by until the end of your holiday. We have never tasted such a fresh, juicy, fragrant, moderately spicy and appetizing dish cooked on open coals anywhere!!!

For fans of fast food, the first floor of the restaurant is given in front of the exit to the beach area, it is always clean, cool, the display is visible and accessible. After the trial "run" did not feel any discomfort in the stomach and intestines. So everything is fair and no rancid oil. Nice!!!
The Viennese cafe, on the street of rain, surrounded by exquisite boutiques, leaves a very nice impression, not at all superfluous and very tasty detail that decorates the rest.
We don’t talk about alcohol, it is everywhere, always and of high quality, but, unfortunately (and maybe to our joy), we are not big fans of it.
About accommodation. We were very pleasantly surprised that we could choose a room from the four available, which the manager kindly showed us, patiently and intelligibly explaining the advantages of each of them, but at the same time leaving the choice to us. The most amazing thing is that we were settled immediately, without making us wait until 2 pm. The room is spacious, bright, with a large balcony, a little uncomfortable shower room (water accumulates before entering the room). Room cleaning is timely and regular with good quality, consumables replenished in a timely manner. The minibar is also replenished daily with soft drinks, alcohol and sweets. In the evenings it is very pleasant to sit on the balcony admiring the sea and fountains. A musical, enchanting beauty fountain, every day at 21:00 turns on for 15 minutes, the beauty of light and music is indescribable in words !!
The central building of the hotel is made on two levels, indefatigable merchant, but with oriental motifs, luxury, extraordinary beauty of the lobby, skillfully constructed staircase with gilded railings, chandeliers, high-class natural stone decoration, rich bars, quiet rest areas, constantly bustling reception. There are so many, but you do not feel superfluous, you are welcome everywhere. Opposite the reception there is a counter with soft drinks and champagne during the day.
For young people - dancing until 3 am with a constantly working bar, there is where to light and break away! And for people like us, who are over... ten, it does not interfere, he closed the balcony door and rest peacefully in silence.

The main asset and achievement of the hotel owners and top management is the staff, who is always ready to help you, solve your problems, give you as much attention as you need. Russian-speaking guides - (unfortunately, we do not remember the names) are true professionals in their field, they always try to organize your leisure time, help you navigate the large selection of programs offered.
If before this visit to the RIXOS hotel in Belek, we considered the possibility of resuming our holiday in Turkey with prejudice and caution, now the question is not for us - close, comfortable, tasty and calm. September-October 2017 – again RIXOS in Belek!
With respect and deep gratitude and appreciation -
