Were in the hotel from 02.06 to 10.06. I didn’t write a review promptly on purpose, so that all emotions (positive and negative smoothed out a bit) and the review turned out to be more objective.
BellaSun is a family-friendly hotel. Therefore, there are many children here and it makes no sense to look for a quiet, secluded or recklessly youthful atmosphere here.
When settling, I categorically do not recommend the 4th building. The view from the rooms - or just no, or disgusting. We were first given a room in this building on the first floor overlooking the fence and the laundry room with a mountain of dirty laundry in front of it. After a conversation in raised tones, they changed to a room on the third floor (there is a view of the roof and the disco of the neighboring hotel). The rest of the boxes are acceptable. By the way, the rooms in the 1st building do not have the usual balconies.

The rooms themselves are small but normal. Only the bathroom is bad. Poorly furnished, small and uncomfortable. By the way, we were lucky: on the second day of rest, the notorious short shower curtain was changed to a normal long one. Even in our room on the double bed was a fairly sagging mattress. But this problem was solved by turning the mattress over to the other side (fortunately, it is double-sided). Rooms are cleaned normally and unobtrusively, every day, but some towels and sheets with holes  .
The food, as they rightly write in many reviews, is normal. Not much variety or frills. But you won't go hungry. That's for sure. Please note that coffee in the restaurant is only available for breakfast. The vending machines do not work for lunch and dinner. And yet, I recommend to come in 35-45 minutes. after the opening of the restaurant. Otherwise, there may be a problem with a free table.
Excellent pool area. Two adult pools, one children's. Clean, no chlorine smell. Slides work somewhere from 10-30 to 12-30 and from 14-30 to 16. Which is very good. In our previous hotel they worked for half an hour twice a day.
I was surprised at the Russians, who at 5-00 begin to take sunbeds near the pool and on the beach. I did not understand how you can get up so early on vacation. And then I thought that when it is 5 am in Antalya, then in some regions of Russia it is already 8 or even 9 am. This is where people fall asleep. In general, when we got up at 8-30, there were problems with free sunbeds. And interestingly, if people had not occupied the sunbeds in advance and just in case, then there would have been no problems with free places. Some left, others came, and there is enough for everyone. But the scoop has not yet been eradicated.
There is a fiesta near the pool all day long: disco rumbles, animators work, beer drinks flow like water. But my child and I mostly went to the sea. Swimming at the nearby beach. There is 30 meters of sand, then solid stones. It's great for a child, but for adults it's better to swim from BellaSan beach. The beach is relatively clean, and if you didn't smoke directly into the sand under your feet, it would be quite good.
I advise you to go to Side and Manavgat on your own, without purchased excursions. Get much more experience without time limits. Souvenirs and things worth buying in shops on the way from the hotel to the sea. Prices are really lower. And the selection of souvenirs is very good.

Go to the hammam only if you are sure of the health of your back. Otherwise, the Turks imagine themselves to be great massage therapists and can exacerbate existing problems.
Total: we had a good rest, got new impressions and a good tan. All shortcomings are either insignificant or explained by the price category of the hotel. I bought a vacation for 1200d. 8 days for 2 adults + 1 child. The hotel is really worth the money and you don’t need to demand more from it. Now, as can be seen from the Anextour price lists, the same vacation costs from 1500d. I don't recommend paying that kind of money. There are much better hotels at this price.
