Рада, что там побывали I'm glad you were there

We stayed at the hotel from 07.05 to 15.05. For the first time in Turkey, before there were only in Egypt. For the first time, I didn't want to leave. We flew with TezTour. known operator. Let's refrain from details.
Settlement. It all started with settlement. We arrived at the hotel around 10 am (a little earlier). We were told that there were no rooms, but the bracelets were issued immediately, and we were asked to wait until 12. Not very comfortable, but expected. Therefore, we went to have breakfast, explore the territory and wait. At 12 o'clock we came to the reception. We ordered a standard in the villa, but they showed us a deluxe room in the main building overlooking the entrance to the lobby, asking if it would suit us. We were satisfied with the number. In a rosy mood, we gave 20 to the man from the reception who escorted us to the room, and then he began to tell that you had to pay an extra $ 200 for the room (already checked at home - the real difference in price is 500). We refused and went to find out what was happening with the chief of the shift, but the porter who accompanied us and demanded money suddenly began to wave his hands, asking us not to go anywhere and not to pay anything extra. On this they parted ways. As a summary: we got a room much better than we expected, why it happened is not clear, but we personally have nothing to complain about, if it were not for the incident with $ 200, then there would have been a bright impression of the settlement. But everyone who goes to the hotel should not count on this.
Number. In our room there was a room with a TV (plasma), air conditioning, a fan (we mostly used it), a large comfortable bed (non-creaking !!! ), a mirror, bedside tables. There was also a balcony (tiny, but with a view of the turtles sunbathing in the morning). The bathroom had a toilet, shower, washbasin and jacuzzi. True, the jacuzzi was leaking, but a day later, the technical service workers themselves came to us and fixed everything while we were in the gym. So we are quite happy with the number. But 4-ku put because of problems with the settlement and initially not fully serviceable bath.

Nutrition. A very subjective thing. We liked everything. But we are people who do not drink, trying to the extent of modest opportunities to lead a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, they usually took some kind of meat (husband) or fish (me) and a lot of vegetables (a large selection of fresh vegetables, not in salads). For dinner in good weather (it rained for three days : ( ) you could try something cooked on the grill. We both really liked the chicken wings and shawarma, and I personally - grilled perch (tuna - so-so, but the food is exceptional subjective thing). Separately, I want to note herbal teas, that is, just dried linden, chamomile, saffron - buzz. More than one ode has been written about Turkish sweets, and I am ready to subscribe to every word of those who praised them. How much my husband and I love different sweet things, but I ate both. I especially came off for dinner when I ate the freshest baklava. Fruits were oranges, grapefruits, apples. For dinner they gave strawberries, but very portioned. In order not to suffer from this, we just went to the center of Belek and scored strawberries for $ 4 per kilo, having gorged on it to satiety.
Service. It's hard for me to say something bad about the hotel staff. Everyone greeted us, everyone smiled, the waiters (to whom we never gave a tip, just exchanged smiles and thanked us politely for everything) never ignored us (unless they had a complete blockage, they didn’t notice, but then it was possible to approach and ask them what they need - the request was always fulfilled quickly), and when I sat alone while my husband "hunted" for sweets, one of them even came to entertain me (out of politeness, because I am by no means a busty blonde - a Turk's dream) and made fun of my love for cats, which my husband and I fed and allowed to sit on our hands for food. The maids did not clean perfectly, but quite acceptable. The bartenders were never rude, they served everything they asked for. On my husband's birthday, they did not forget to bring a fruit basket and wine to the room, which is very nice. Also, when my favorite baklava ended one evening, it was enough for me to contact one of the chefs in the restaurant, so that he very quickly brought a fresh plate with it to the common table and a large portion on a separate plate for me personally.
Animation. Many thanks to the animation girls Tanya and Dasha. Excellent workouts. At what always - it is extremely benevolent. I liked archery too. My husband also went to play football. The only thing that upset - the lack of water polo. Evening shows were fun and funny. Especially when the invited teams came (the white bear in the White Arena acrobats show hit me on the spot). The animators themselves also tried with might and main and it turned out to be very fun when they were responsible for the show. I didn't really like the competitions (Miss Belconti, etc. ), but here we are talking about our tastes, and everything was carried out funny.
The territory of the hotel. Just amazing green area. While walking, you meet cats, then lizards, then turtles, then squirrels. Near the entrance to the hotel there was a pen with geese. Closer to the sea there were two lawns with hammocks, on which it was very fun to swing to the sound of the waves. In the hotel itself there is a good gym, where even 4 treadmills were found, as well as a bunch of steppers, exercise bikes and weight lifting machines. On rainy days, look into the indoor pool. Not very big, but swimming and fooling around is quite possible, especially if you look at lunchtime, when everyone is sitting in restaurants.

Summary. Perhaps we are very unpretentious people, but the beautiful nature, friendly servants, pleasing animals, delicious food and a good gym were enough for us to fall in love with Turkey, want to return to it and, with a very high probability, to the Belconti hotel.
