Hello. Until recently, I doubted whether it was worth writing a review, since the last time I encountered a lot of impartial comments on my opus and its assessment. But still, the desire to help adequate people decide (who read reviews in order to choose a hotel, and not caustically comment on someone else's opinion) whether or not to go to this hotel prevailed. In general, I’ll say right away that this review is my SUBJECTIVE assessment, and if someone evaluates it differently, this is a completely normal phenomenon. all people are different. I've noticed that lately review sites have been turning into snarky duels between people, but I only go to the site to write or find a review about a particular hotel.
Now about the main thing : ) . I think that the hotel Justiniano Club Belek is quite normal, although, of course, it does not correspond to the declared 5 stars, I would give it 4 : )
We were in Turkey for the first time, from 04/25/10 to 05/09/10 inclusive. We chose this country and the hotel mainly for financial reasons, well, so that there was sea and sun room on the 3rd floor in the main building overlooking the garden.

But of course, immediately about the minuses : ) Since we fell under the opening of the season, a la carte restaurants did not work in this hotel (officially they are open from 15.05 to 15.10, if I'm not mistaken). Although a fish restaurant opened in early May, then a Turkish and Italian restaurant for one day. The decision to open, as it turned out, is taken at the direction of the administration, well, this is logical : ) . We were in the fish and Italian restaurants - not a fountain. It's good, of course, to sit in silence when the dishes are served by the waiters, drink wine, and not push around in the main restaurant at the buffet, but the food is almost the same : ) . So nothing interesting. Why did I rank this as a downside? Well, because these restaurants have to unload the main one at least a little, because at the height of the season there will be tin!
Another disadvantage is the entrance to the sea. Small pebbles + waves that wash algae from the bottom - not ice. The water in May, of course, is coldish, but we swam.
I didn’t really like the fact that on our arrival the hotel was in full swing - they put umbrellas, sunbeds, tinted something, faked something. Of course, on the one hand, it's good that they take care of the hotel, but why not do it in the absence of tourists?
I’ll also tell you more about the room - it’s clear, of course, that it’s not the first freshness: a bathroom hastily smeared with silicone, a piece of wallpaper glued on. BUT just snow-white linen and towels, cleaning every day, linen changed daily. Beach towels are also clean, smelling nothing but freshness.
With the influx of tourists, of course, things have changed for the worse. The staff simply does not have time to serve such a crowd of tourists, moreover, partly wild. Well, where has it been seen that people line up in a huge queue for meat, then fight for it and still wonder why the Russians are treated like that. : ) And it was worth waiting for 15 minutes and this meat was not needed by anyone - come and take it)
In my opinion, the hotel is TOO big, or rather not, there are too many people and children, and more precisely, for such a number of rooms, the territory should be larger, there should be more places in the restaurant, more sun loungers.
In general, we spent the first few days super: silence, calmness, everywhere they give clean, glassware, not plastic cups. Then the queues began, a lot of people, there were no free sunbeds, plastic cups appeared. But basically everything was fine : )
We went on excursions to Pamukkale, Demre-Mira-Kekova, Green Canyon, Antalya waterfalls. I liked the places, but the organization was sick. I had to order everything in Turtesse (the host), because. in Kadriye, the prices are the same, and we did not see the point in ordering from them. We ourselves went only to Hammam and Belek, and of Kadriye.

Turkey is a beautiful country with a rich history. Then someone wrote that this stupid vacation is like the sea, the beach, all inclusive, and there is nothing else there. So this is nonsense! There is a lot of interesting things to visit this country.
Now about the airline and the tour operator. Kolavia Airlines - I liked it, everything is clear, without delay, the plane is new, the food is normal, the staff, of course, is not so hot, but everything is pretty decent, the tour operator Mostrevel, everything is also on the level. I would happily use their services again.
In general, I liked everything. Only the hotel is big and party, animation and all that interests me a little, so next time I will choose something smaller and more boring : )
