Food great plenty of choice.

Rooms very clean.

Location right on beach main shops a fews minutes round the corner.

Staffs very friendly and helpful.

The entertainment was so so not enough in the day and night, no shooting or archery most things kids could join in water polo, darts, pool. At night the same team did the shows kids show from around 8.30 to 9.15 then the family show was from 9.30 tell 10.15 pm. The same team from the day doing it ie slapping each other with wet towels and throwing buckets of water over each other, and dancing and miming to songs. There's a Turkish show which is good and the shows are different for two weeks. Music in the bars till midnight and there's a waitress who gets up on a chair by the pool bar and dances around 11.45 pm.

Would visit again but while we were there there were two rooms in the annex where the safes in the rooms were opened and money taken. 200 in one room and 150 in the other so someone must know the override code to open them, rep said this was the first time this as happened?

Club Belchick Hotel - Fantastic. Right on the beach.

Third visit to Turkey and this was the best.

Food very varied with chefs cooking fresh food in front of you.

All staff very friendly.

Hotel spotless with beautiful grounds.

Even though entertainment crew lovely shows not really up to 4star standard but this didnt really make much difference as this was the best hotel we have stayed in.

Rooms very roomy and spotless. Best shower we have ever had.

Could not really fault this hotel and will definitely return.

What a great hotel. As with many other reviewers we don't like to go to the same place more than once but this hotel is one we will be returning to.

If I had any complaints it would be directed at the Thomson reps, we encountered some problems and felt they did not give us the help we would have expected from reps, we were apparently not alone in thinking this. Luckily the hotel staff more than made up for their short falls and we can only thank them and praise their hotel to the hilt in the hope that more people will visit and find out what a gem this place is.

From the fantastic food to the great (and quiet!) adult pool this hotel has something for all.

This was our second visit to this hotel. I have previously posted a review on this site (2006)and the comments are unchanged.

The hotel is spotlessly clean and the maids do the best job I have experinced,the main areas and public loos - including the ones by the pool are clean, dry and well maintained. The pool area and gardens are also well maintained.

Food is excellent with a good choice, fresh grill and show cooking. There is also a huge selection of fruit and fresh bread, pastries available.

The location is superb, with views I could never tire of. You are also located right in the middle of the resort of Olu Deniz so have plenty of opportunity to support the local eateries and shops.

Staff are hard working, friendly and funny despite working long hours. Nothing is ever too much trouble or a problem.
This goes for the entertainment staff as well. The evening shows are a bit slapstick and will not suit everyone. However my kids loved the ones we saw - couldn't have watched every night though.

All in all another fantastic holiday. We will try somewhere else next year but I am sure we will return sometime.

Cleanliness - Rooms were spotless, linen changed every other day, towels daily. Bathrooms very clean. I was on my balcony one day and the maid spent 45mins doing the room, and they aren't that big! Communal areas very clean and also pool area, staff are picking up peoples cups and glasses all the time.

Location - Probably the most perfect aspect of this hotel. Beach to the front, mountains to one side and lagoon to the other. Plus the added benefit of the little town of Olu Deniz to walk to at any time.

Food - For buffet style AI fayre this hotel really has got it's act together. Breakfast great, with a fresh ommlette cooking station, endless fresh fruits, breads, freshly squeezed orange at cost of 4 LE. Dinner, huge selection of salads, soup, fresh breads, about 6 hot choices, two fresh cooking stations, a hightlight being the stir-fry once a week, with four chefs entertaining you with their skills. Small selection of kids foods. Approx 30 different desserts each night, plus fresh fruits, cheese, the list is endless. Didn't tackle lunch as we were often out (or too full!). Used the snack bar a few times for cheese tosties, pizza, also good. Drinks were the AI usuals.

Staff - The most attentive I have ever come accross in an hotel. Never seen people work so hard with such a smile on their face. It wasn't just a few, it seemed to be all from the Manager, reception, cleaners, waiting staff, entertainment team.

Entertainment - Hotel entertainment isn't our thing really as we like to go out and about, but it seemed to be very popular with other quests. We saw one show "Dracula" which of its kind we thought was good, but there was no way we could have sat through 14 of them, although they probably vary from evening to evening. The (once again) excellent staff served drinks to everone throughout. This hotel isn't like lots of AI's where you help yourself to drink, they take your orders abd bring drinks to you. Someone tried to sell us tickets for bingo one night but we polietly declined. Daytime entertainment was the usual pool games, pool volleyball, aerobics, killer pool etc they never had a proplem getting people to join in.

Other - There is loads to do in this area, the Thomson Reps at this hotel were good, and we booked 3 full day trips with them. Mudbaths, Salkient Gorge, Fethyie Market/Boat Cruise all great fun with top notch Turkish guides, nice lunches etc

Trying to think of a few negatives - This is a very informal hotel, for examlpe there is no dress code in the restaurant, at breakfast and lunch people eat in swimwear with a sarong, or bikini top and shorts,(the restaurant is next to the pool), evening meal didn't require men in long trousers.Didn't bother us, but it might some.

Restaurant is all outdoors and sparrows fly in and out and people feed them breadcrumbs! Didn't seem like a good idea to me! They dont get near the food though. Also there is a bit of a wasp problem (but no flys)The staff put instant coffee in a saucer ignite it and it smoulders, the fumes keep them off your table.

The main swimming pool struggles a bit, presumably it was built before the annexe rooms, and is a bit too small for the amount of rooms now. They have tried to address this by building a lovely 'adult only' pool, but most families want to be together. You can normally get a sunbed in the gardens most time of day, if not by the pool.

The hotel operates free buses to the private lagoon beaches if you feel you need a bit of space, ask at reception.

Rooms are small and although the hotel calls itself a 5*holiday village, I think people used to staying in 5* hotels would be suprised at how small the rooms are. The ones in the annexe have lovely high ceilings which makes them airy, but they are still small area wise. Aircon was good and free, room safe at cost.

We never go back to the same hotel twice, but would seriously consider going back to this one.

Food choice was limited. The desserts way too much sugar. It needs wider choice of fruits although most people still try to eat healthy I struggled.

You feel rushed at meal times because staff are in your face.

Entertainments ok nothing to get excited about, so gave up on it.

Main pool way too small. No loungers available near pool, only on the grass. Only found out by chance about adult pool that was fab.

Drinks: coffee, water, coke, even beer good for the day. Limited alcohol choice for other drinks unless you wanted to pay for them.

Pool towels provided were in very poor condition need to be larger and need to be smoother. The covers on the beds were too small.

This hotel is set in a stunning location,right on the seafront and a backdrop to the mountains, which is famous for its paragliding.
The blue lagoon is a short walk from the hotel. There are many bars, restaurants and shops right outside the hotel.

Th food was really good, not repetetive at all, especially if you try lots of different dishes.
Waiters and bar staff are very efficient and always smiling, they look like they really enjoy working there.
Rooms are reasonable size with a fantastic enclosed shower, so you dont end up with a flooded floor!
Maid service is excellent, as is the free pool towel service.
Very quick and efficient service in all the bars and snack bar.

Entertainment is family orientated, but only criticism is that it is a bit short.
Trips in the resort are far cheaper than with Thomsons. We visited Easy Riders, the guy in there Phillip, is really helpful and his 6 island boat trip from 10.30 till 7.30pm was only

The hotel was excellent, a group of us went in October 2005 and was so impressed that we went back in July 2006 for 2 weeks.

The hotel was really clean, the rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and we often had beautiful flower displays on our beds when we returned to our rooms.

The food was excellent, there was plenty of dishes to choose from and all food was of a high standard.

The hotels location was directly on the beach and close to all activities.

The hotel staff was always polite and all went out of there way to help you. We made so many friends amongst the staff, especially the entertainment team. Ayr, Steve, metin and sunny was great and always up for a night out. The night time shows was fantastic.

Had such a great time that we have all booked to go back in October for 2 weeks.

The hotel, food, location and staff where wonderful.

The entertainment was not bad.We had 16 in our party and we would all go back. Some are going back in October.

There is also a secluded pool if you want to be child free. You\'ll love Amhed with his cup and saucer trick! Eddie in the pool bar and Richie and Eileen in the restaurant bar were fantastic. Say hi from the Golden Girls, we hope to see them later in the year.

All other reviews are truthfull. I didnt get a room with a glass wall so I could watch TV from the bath, but I guess they must exist!

All in a v good resort with great staff, food, position and rooms. Please go to Turkey and this Hotel. Dont let busy resorts like Marmaris put you off.

Go here and you will enjoy..
