Evening entertainment absolutely brilliant and extremely proffesional.
Beach area small but very clean.

Belek is a scruffy town that is trying to give itself a cultural interest by lining the road with concrete 'ruins'

The beachs that were maintained by the hotels were excellent and were cleaned every night.

There were a few cafes but we didn't go into town to check out the nightlife

There are shops selling the usual selection of jewelery, leather and clothes etc and the shopkeepers are keen to tempt you in.

Antalya is 30 minutes away, where there are real historic buildings and a pictuesque harbour.

Take Euros as that seems to be the currency of choice and they will only give you the price in Lira if you ask.

The men made use of the local golf courses, 8 at the moment and more to come.

I was not impressed with Belek and they must work harder to tempt tourists out of the hotels

Belek is spotless. Say no more.
The beach is a little bit stoney but we were not at the beach much anyway.

A clean resort but very little to do unless you like genuine fake shops with very pushy staff!!! Very few restuarants to eat out and apart from the Roman Restuarant the ones we went to were dirty and the food was awful.
The beaches are clean and the resort is pretty but no atmosphere at all. Out of the two I would prefer Kadriye but would not return again.

Did not like the location of the hotel as I like to walk around the shops and visit local attractions there was nothing around the hotel but more hotels you had to get a taxi to Kaydri the nearest town but after 2 visits you have seen all there is to see we ended up going on trips with the reps just to fill our days The private beach at the hotel was lovely and we did visit it most days for an hour or two the hotel pool was very cold nobody dared go in it untill our last day when we saw a few kids in it pool with the slides wasnt opened till our last few days I wont be returning to the hotel and most of the british people we met there at the same time said they wouldnt be returning

I would stay in the resort again but at a different hotel

Next to the Sun Zeynep there is a public beach this will be fully developed by next summer. There will be six bars, three restaurants and other entertainment buldings, all landscaped with walks and lights. Looks good now will be really good when finished

Belek is not much of a resort as such, other than a weekly market and lots of shops selling exactly the same things. There are a few bars and restaurants but would not go to Belek on a self catering holiday (mostly hotel holidays anyway).
Would not visit Turkey to go to this resort but would visit the hotel Xanadu.

We find it excellent as far as all inclusives go (we have 6 year old twin girls and appreciate the time they leave us at the bar thanks to a well run kids club!).

The split of nationalities: The percentage of Brits - 1% IMO. They have entertainment each night which really isn't my thing but our kids loved it (moreso they loved the entertainment team members who mill around during the day and all love kids) - and at these entertainment events welcome everyone by nation, so you get a good appreciation of the numbers by the cheers in reply. First time we actually had to ask the guy to include the UK!

Definitely huge quantities of Russians, Ukrainians (80%+ together), then Turkish, few Germans (nowhere near as many as you might guess), three or four French, and on one night an Italian!

We were there during the week when England played Sweden in the World Cup, a surefire way to see how many Bits were in town, and they showed it on a massive screen in a room - me, my wife and 2 other brits!

Enough of nationalities, let's get on to the important matters:

Drink:

Most soft drinks, most alcoholic drinks in Turkish form, exceptions being imported 'real' Bacardi, Malibu, Schnapps (but that one ran out and never reappeared!) Becks beer, Efes (local lager) and even a not too shabby Baileys equivalent. Whisky can either be imported (but not a brand I'd heard of) or local(ish) made in Northern Cyprus - if you know whisky you won't like that! A list of a couple of dozen cocktails, all worth a try - if they aren't for you who cares - leave it and try another!!!

Coffee, tea, Nescafe Ice (a great starting point for making up your own cocktails - try Nescafe Ice, Baileys & creme de menthe!).

PLEASE BE WARNED: Red & white wine are available all day and at all meals - avoid both, truly awful.

'Juice Bar' for most soft fruit drinks.

Pool Bar is open from 10am to 12 midnight, Disco 11:30pm till 2 (again not my scene but you can sit outside). 24 hour bar in lobby!

There is also a 'premium brand' bar, but you pay in there, never went ;-)

Food was pretty damn good, a massive choice from the buffet for lunch and dinner, and at dinner a couple of corners where they knock out freshly cooking dishes - a seafood casserole one night was as good as any I had.

Breakfast good too, bit 'samey' but all the freshly squeezed orange juice you wish.

Forgot to mention the 'speciality' restaurants - you have to book one day for the next evening. Sushi, seafood (both in lovely seafront locations) both excellent. Turkish restaurant (please try it!).

Late afternoon, coffee and cakes near the pool, how sophisticated!

Belek is pretty much 'man made' as a town, 5 star AI hotels line the beach for miles (literally miles). Belek 'town' is fairly unTurkish - old ruins line the main road, I had no idea the Romans invented fibreglass!

Plenty of shops - good buys over here are leather goods, jewellery and fake designer everything. Quality of these varies considerably - 5 T shirts for 15 euro's sounds good but not once you pop the collar on the first wear. Ignoring the Reebok or Nike logo, I'm sure you could buy better quality plain T shirts cheaper in Tesco or Matalan these days.

Local market is Monday, worth a trip for the experience. Get a taxi at the gate.

plenty of regular transport to get into the local town, but certainly no where to walk to.
