This hotel was chosen for us by a girl from the agency, we used to be only in Kemer, and we couldn’t ask our friends, they have a similar story. And so, without expecting it, they paid a deposit and only then went home to read the reviews. To say we were shocked after reading the reviews is an understatement. And the territory is dirty, and the food sucks, and the rooms are miserable, and the animation is terrible. We booked a room in the main building overlooking the sea, and I was reassured only by the fact that according to the reviews it should have been done.
Well, here's my review:
We arrived in the evening, the guide from the Track Travel quickly made a pen and left. We were left alone with a girl who did not speak Russian, but English stirred her up, and she explained on her fingers that we needed to sit down and wait, but my English was better and so I began to say that we were tired, that our room should have been ready for a long time, it turned out that there were no rooms with a sea view, my indignation knew no bounds and the manager came, to whom I gave $ 20. The room was found immediately, we were given two cards from the room and cards for towels, and we went up to the room on the 5th floor. It was only later that I realized how lucky we were. It was a De Luxe room: large, with new furniture, a plasma TV, a large bathroom with a shower and a jacuzzi, shampoo, conditioner, bath foam, shower gel, all in small bottles that were changed as needed, combs, toothpaste, well, in principle, everything, as in normal 5 *. Cleaned up perfectly (tips helped). The only drawback: a small balcony. But few were so lucky, in my presence people called their agencies and demanded relocation, complained about small rooms, a terrible smell in the bathrooms, faulty air conditioners, old furniture, and soap dispensers on the walls. By the way, almost all of the rooms were not cards, but ordinary keys. If I had been in such a room, my review would have been a hundred times worse. But they do not go to the sea to sit in the rooms, this is only 25% of the rest.

The territory is super, very clean, green, well-groomed, flowers everywhere, beautiful hibiscus, roses, pines and palm trees, a small artificial pond with beautiful big fish, I have not seen a single turtle by the way, the territory is always cleaned. The hotel itself is a little tired, and no longer asks, but requires a major overhaul. On the ground floor there are shops, a main restaurant, a sauna and a swimming pool, everything is clean for 4k. Passing by the villas, I saw only one villa, with a decent repair, the rest, although they are buried in greenery and flowers, you can see from them that they have not been repaired for a very long time. Therefore, if you are still going to Belconti, take the main building.
The food is average, you can’t say that it’s terrible, but you can’t call it excellent either, chicken, turkey, grilled lamb, an abundance of different potatoes, both boiled, and french fries, and mashed potatoes, and with vegetables, a lot of pasta, salads, vegetables, cheese, paper sausage, well, and sweets with pastries, of course, varied. Yuppies drinks. Fresh paid $ 4 a glass. Ice cream from 16.00 to 17.00 with a small queue of 5-8 people, the rest of the time paid from $ 2 to 5. Gozleme and airan, fries, hamburgers, hot dogs are all near the sea. Service is normal. You don’t need to describe Turkish alcohol, you know what it is, in general, nutrition is not ultra - that’s for sure.
The beach is large, there were enough sunbeds for everyone, two large pools, one with slides, also clean, each has a jacuzzi. There was never such a thing that they did not find free sunbeds, although there were a lot of people.
There is honestly no animation, except perhaps in the evenings, but in the second week you understand that the shows are constantly repeated and watching the second, or even the third time, the same thing is also uninteresting. During the day they generally sleep, I heard how fun is going on in other hotels, and in Kemer they never got bored before, So the animation is exactly 3. In the evening, live music is sometimes good, and sometimes just awful - and the lines were remembered: You sang so that all the dogs howled  , and the disco, nothing like that - perky. There are a lot of children in the hotel, we rested without children, so I can’t say anything objectively about children’s cuisine and leisure.
There were sometimes negative nuances, but they were mainly associated with rudeness and disrespect for the vacationers themselves, but you can’t throw words out of the song - our people don’t know how to relax yet, everything needs to be made into a scandal and tragedy.

The weather was somewhat windy, and one night it even rained, just a tropical downpour with lightning and thunder!
In the end, I can say that it was our vacation that was a success, well, it happens that the room is good, and the tables were always free and the sunbeds were always free, and they had fun in their own way not bad  (together with my husband there is always something to have fun), in general, I liked it. Although I don’t want to go to Belek anymore - it’s still boring there, unlike Kemer.
