Hi kewlbutcrazy have just got back from Belek 3 weeks ago,did not stay at mentioned hotel but stayed at the cornellia deluxe a couple of hotels along from yours, passed it on foot as we were walking to aqualand it looked absolutely superb as all the hotels along this strip did so i am sure you will have a great time

going to grida village in belek did you pass this hotel on your travels janet

been to belek three times now stayed at the sun zeynep but have spoken to people while there who have stayed in both hotels mentioned ,and they seemed to think they were great ,all the hotels are situated along the beach which is great ,enjoy

thanks for your comments, would it be better to take euros or turkish lira janet

Janet take Euros everything in the town of Belek is marked up in Euros, i took Euros and sterling but two or three places would not accept the sterling but there are many change outlets that will, Also if you pay in Euros they will give you change back in lira small denominations but thats allright if you buy drinks or ice creams and the such and if you go by taxi into the town they will allways drop you outside a shop who is a relative or a freind of the taxi driver who if you go back to them will call the taxi for your return jouney its just a ploy to get you back to the shop any way there is allways half a dozen or so taxis in the town centre by the mosque have a great time ,i wish i had more time off this year i would definitely return

the only reason there is a lot of euros in belek is that it crammed full with russians ands germans , i have been there in belek three times now and i have always found sterling to be the best ,never once have i been refused any where to pay in sterling it is still the strongest currency in turkey ,just make sure the notes are not torn or damaged,and dont accept turkish lira as change when buying at shops or the market you always lose out

what his the resort of belek like janet

all the hotels are right along the beach which is sandy with some small pebble areas , there are watersports witha all the usual passtimes ,all depends what hotel you will be in but most people meet on the beach and some discuss there hotels , the nearest town which the locals call a village ,is kadriya is about ten minute trip on an open sided bus .sometimes pulled by a tractor ,great way tp travel in the heat . in kadriya you will find lots of shops selling the usual stuff , that is also where the market is held on a tuesday . the town of belek is a wee bit further and you have to get a taxi ,the market is in belek on a saturday . it is very much a laid back kind of place with not a lot of nightlife but if you are in an a/c hotel you dont need to jump about at night ,just stay in the hotel and sample the entertainment and the drinks ,, enjoy

hi we are stopping in the grida village janet

when we were at the sun zeynep we spoke to a family who stayed at the grida village and they were well impressed had no complaints whatsoever

hi thats good to know because last year we went to a A/I food fantastic but the stupd drunk english spoiled it fighting and leting the kids run wild i am hoping for a bit quieter holiday this year but still like to enjoy our selfs janet

went to belek last year. stayed in the adora golf, all the hotels there are really nice as they are mostly 5 star the beach is very nice too,
belek its self is very quiet compared to bodrum or marmaris but it is very nice, clean friendly. we will defo be going back sometime
