Rested at the hotel from 22.09 to 02.10 - 2 adults + 2 children. family room.

As usual, I will break my review into 2 parts. In the first there will be only facts, without my opinion it is good or bad. In the second a little IMHO.

Part one. Facts.

1. Location.
Please note that the hotel, although called Belek Beach Resort, is actually not exactly Belek. This is the village of Bogazkent. That is, it is about 15 km from Belek. And accordingly, even further from the airport 45-47 km. Accordingly, delivery to the hotel takes place in this way: there - first everyone is transported - you are most likely the last. Conversely, you are respectively the first and collect all the others. Hotel on the first line of the sea.

2. Territory.
The territory of the hotel is small, elongated from the sea. Lots of greenery. You can drag your sunbed to any corner and take a nap in silence.

3. Numbers.

Was only in the Family room. 2 small rooms. In one 2-bed (160). The second one has 2 single beds. (sometimes in the second room there is one double bed).
There is a mini corridor between the rooms. There is a closet and an entrance to the bathroom. Balcony. 2 small TVs (20 and 14). TV inputs: standard antenna and SCART. There is no kettle in the room.

4. Beach + pool.
The beach is sandy, but at the entrance to the water there are pebbles. In some places there are larger stones in the water. Immediately upon entering deep. Almost at a distance of 2 meters from the shore, the depth is already 2 meters. Signs hang on the shore: children under 14 years old without adults are not allowed to swim. The beach is wide and big. There have always been places.
There are 3 pools. But actually 2, because one is heated and closed in summer.
Of these two, one is a small "quiet". Depth 130. The second one is larger, the main one. There, the depth ranges from 20 cm to 130. Everywhere on the walls of the pools, the depth is written in large red numbers. Conveniently. There are 3 large water slides + one for children descends into a 40 cm pool.
There are no pools deeper than 130 cm in the hotel!

5. Nutrition.
Main restaurant + restaurant on the beach (from 11-16). + a la carte (Turkish, Italian) - did not attend.
There is a grill in the main restaurant. There are theme days. Turkey, Mexico. It was a fish day. In principle, there are no problems with food at any time of the day. Alcoholic drinks are imported only in the bar in the main hall opposite the reception and then very reluctantly.
Food is not allowed on the beach!

6. Animation.
There is. In the evening, children's discos in German. Accordingly, the repertoire is selected. The songs are non-standard as usual at such discos, and some are mostly German for children. The Germans love it.

7. The contingent of tourists.
The hotel is aimed at German tourists. They are in the majority here. In addition to them, there are Russian-speaking tourists, Poles, Romanians, Swiss, Belgians.

8. Children's rest.

There is a kids club. It has a Russian-speaking girl. Our children did not go there, so there is nothing to say. But there were parents who gave in the morning and took away almost in the evening.
It is convenient that the pools are aimed at children of any age.
There is a mini zoo on site. There are 3 ostriches, sheep, and some chickens. : )
There is Luna Park (as they call it). There is a trampoline, carousels, horses, a train, and another carousel. Upon check-in, they give 3 free tickets for this swing per child. In general, it is paid - 1 euro.

Part two. Subjective.

After a 10 day stay in this hotel, if I were asked to briefly characterize the owner of the hotel, it would turn out something like this: German chef zoolub. (with) : )

Well, why German, I think it is clear already from the first part. In fact, the hotel is focused on the Germans.
According to my feelings, the Germans there are 70% percent
20% Russian speakers. Moreover, some of them are emigrants from the same Germany. Well, 10% for everyone else.
Most of the staff speaks German. They don’t bother themselves with other languages ​ ​. . even English, I’m not talking about Russian anymore. This is especially annoying at the reception. There are 2 people there, a Russian girl who speaks Russian.
It usually happens in the afternoon. And another Turkish woman who more or less understands and, most importantly, can answer in English. Now, if one of them is - we will agree. Otherwise, trouble. Actually I have a tooth on them. I ordered delivery to the hotel. Part of the money had to be given to the reception in exchange for a small thing. In the morning I took the envelope with money, with the room number, explained for half an hour - the result was 0. I dialed the number of the one who was supposed to bring it and there they told her in Turkish for another 10 minutes. Like I understood. As a result, the delivery arrived at the hotel and . . left. At the reception they said that there was nothing and they did not know anything. Moreover, they hardly found my envelope with money later. Well, okay . . I digress.

Cook. It seems that the whole hotel works according to the principle: a well-fed guest is a satisfied guest! : ) Well, maybe it's not so bad.
Zoolyub. Well, I don't know what else to call it. Animal lover. The hotel area is quite narrow.
It is stretched out from the sea. And in my opinion a little irrationally planned.
In fact, one narrow path leads to the sea. Everyone goes there. There is no other way out. Because of this, it's a bit crowded. Crowded at the pools. They are small and it is quite difficult to find a free sunbed. But next to this area is another one in size as the territory of the hotel. And there is a mini zoo where 3 ostriches and 4 sheep live. There is also mini-golf, carousels that I mentioned above and a large field. It's just cut grass. There is a lot of space, but it is used like this.



To be honest, I did not suffer much because of the small number of our compatriots. ; ) Even vice versa. But to be honest, holding a children's disco only in German is disgusting. Let there be only 8 Russian-speaking children out of 50 who came, but they stand sadly and do not understand why the German uncles and aunts and their children have so much fun on stage.
Yes, they try to dance, run, but not understanding what is happening, they quickly lose interest in this. And there is nowhere else to go. After the children's disco, the evening show begins. Here they are dubbed in broken Russian, but this does not save the situation. Evening performances are not afraid of the word monstrous! A group of guys who are grimacing and trying to portray some vulgar scenes. And moreover, it is clearly visible that they do not get pleasure from this, it annoys them, they work. And where to laugh, I personally did not understand. Maybe it's German humor. : ) One of the evenings we invited local dancers - we liked it. But that was only once.
The evening show ends at 22:00. After that, silence. There is nowhere to go. Sleep or play cards.

One more observation. This ultra all inclusive hotel has a lot of paid services.

Well, the SPA is understandable, then carousels for 1 euro, popcorn is sold on the territory - 2 euros, freshly squeezed juice - 2 euros, cotton candy - 2 euros, a safe - 2 euros, and finally the request to prepare a lunch package for us became the apogee, because check out time at 4 am. 3 euro! ! And this despite the fact that in fact this day I have paid.

Well, a resume. A hotel where it is very quiet after 22-00, where Russian speech is almost inaudible, where there are a lot of German grandmothers with tattoos, where the waiter in the restaurant says “morgen” to you in the morning, where in the mornings from the windows, as if in a village, you can hear kadahkah of chickens and leeping sheep, where in the pool in the deepest part of the water just above the waist, where German uncles and aunts dance round dances at children's discos, where a Turkish woman bakes excellent gozleme in a bar by the sea (if I wrote it right), where there are always a lot of children anywhere in the hotel. If you like it, go there. I haven't decided yet if I will go back or not. For the sake of a quiet, calm, fairly high-quality rest - probably yes
. For the kids club, no. Although, as it turned out, my children did not really need it. They rushed down and back like energizers. And they could spend the whole day like that. : )
Somewhere on the 5th day, my son (7 years old) said: - “Dad, let's lose our passport and stay here forever! " Iron logic. : )

P. S. A special "FE" to the tour operator Turtesse, who, with a departure time of 8-00 in the morning, scheduled a check-out time from the hotel at 4-00 in the morning. And everything would be fine, because the hotel is far away and along the way we stopped by several more hotels. BUT. After we gathered everyone, we went to the "Turkish Delight" factory without warning. Like, especially for tourists so that they buy fresh sweets home. It's at 5am with sleeping or crying kids. And we stood there for 30 minutes, while several naive tourists ran around and bought "fresh" Turkish delight at a 5% discount, which the guide carefully distributed to everyone.
