When I read the reviews, I couldn't believe it. I was convinced that during the rest the main thing is not the hotel and animation, but a good mood and the sea. However, the first day in Belvista was a real shock. First of all, we went for lunch. Although . . "lunch" is a strong word. Huge line, dirty plastic tables, a cloud of cigarette smoke. I do not belong to the category of picky people, but I do not intend to eat pasta cooked at best two days ago. From fruits - only watermelons. No variety in food. After breakfast they were hungry. they often didn’t have time for lunch due to the fact that the minibus, designed to carry from the beach every 15 minutes, was forever delayed. For dinner - consistently french fries and a strictly allotted number of cutlets and chicken meat. Mineral water, Pepsi, Sprite, cocktails, wine (diluted to the state of water, by the way) were given until 22.30. And until 10 am, tourists were offered to drink only water, "yuppies", coffee and tea.
The hotel had the status of "all inclusive", but only the ubiquitous guides of the anex tour were included in our vacation. Their only goal is to force (namely force! ) You to buy an excursion. After one of the guides found out that we bought a tour on the street (by the way, it cost almost 3 times cheaper, they said that they don’t even want to talk with such tourists and if we have problems, we will only have to contact the embassy And if you refuse to buy a tour, until the end of the vacation, the anex will not even look in your direction. It was impossible to put up with such an infringement of freedom.
Regarding the infrastructure... At first glance, everything is as written in the description of the hotel. Free hammam? You are welcome! But you can only step into the bath for free, then you need to pay at least $ 10 for each step. Swimming pool on site? Of course, only swimming in it after 20.00 is prohibited. Is the sea 5 minutes from the hotel? Yes. only the beach belongs to another hotel, from where Belvista tourists are constantly kicked out.

Of course, if you close your eyes to the food, the attitude of the guides, the infrastructure of the hotel, then everything seems to be nothing. But . . with such success, you can put up a tent near the sea. Cheaper and less hassle.
