We have just come home from this absolutely fabulous hotel.
We have never been to Turkey before and I wanted to visit the blue lagoon. We never got to the lagoon because the hotel was just fantastic.
The Turkish people are wonderful and will do anything for you. The food was fabulous, the hotel is absolutely spotless (rooms cleaned evey day).
The hotel is situated on the beach front and all meals are taken upstairs in the restaurant which either overlooks the hotel and grounds or the beautiful sea view. The staff are wonderful.
We kept going to the pool bar. The manager was Buri, (Robin Wiliams lookalike) who was fantastic. We would like to say hello to "pool bar Edi" (what a character!!! absolutely nuts), Numan, Ferhat and Tuhran, they absoulutely made our holiday for us they were so funny we laughed for a whole week.
The entertainment team were great (look out for Air - another nutter) who is a laugh a minute. The food you just cannot fault, there is something for eveyone, plentiful, fresh - what more do you want. This hotel is rated 4 star by Thomson, we would class it definitely 5*, we have travelled all over the place, but the Belcekiz Beach will take some beating.
We are returning in September (it was over 80 degrees in May)- just can't wait, it's the best holiday we have ever been on - pure bliss.

This hotel is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful and you can get a sunbed any time of the day, although prime positions re taken very early or reserved for Junior Suite clients.
The rooms are very modern and you can even watch the TV (with BBC Prime - all English programmes) while you are lying in the bath through the glass bathroom wall (toilet is separate).
You can get jacket potatoes and pancakes in the afternoon if you don't want the huge buffet lunch. Take some DVDs with you (if you have time to watch them) and CDs as there is a DVD player and CD player in the room. the dining room is a bit canteenish, but you can sit outside at night, although it is a bit dark.
Only one complaint. Book late checkout before you go as we had 1 1/2 hours of wrangling with reception staff to get our room until 8pm and it costs 10 Euros per hour. We got it in the end but it was a lot of hassle.

I travelled with my daughter to Becekiz in May. This was an excellent holiday. The hotel is spotless and even the maids go out of their way to be friendly. The whole hotel has a very happy feel to it. We were in the annex across the road and I think we had the best position. You are away from the entertainment so its very quiet.
There is new adults only pool there now which is great if you had a little too much raki the night before as its very peaceful. I loved watching the paragliders coming in while eating lunch.
Thanks to all the staff, Sunny, Maria and Mehmet especially, you really made the holiday for us. I cannot add anything else to what has already been said about this fabulous hotel.
We are hoping to return in September and cannot wait to get back.

Fantastic hotel,rooms cleaned every day.
Food fantastic, desserts to die for.
Staff were very friendly didn\'t have to get off sun bed for a drink.
Entertainment was mad with Alf, Air and their crew. Buri, Edi, Numan, Tuhran at the pool bar are all wonderful, they made our holiday.
Have booked to go back in September and are taking friends with us.

We stayed at this fantastic hotel last year, but could not afford to return as daughter is now too old for a free child place, and paying for a third adult has taken it out of our price range, sob sob. It is a shame that we discovered this only last year as we would have loved to return (perhaps when child flys from the nest?) Have been elsewhere this year and feell thourghly homesick for Olu Deniz!
It woulkd be good to know where I could get a copy of the Club Dance.

We booked this hotel as a late deal, and therefore was unable to do any significant research. However, we were encoureaged by the other comments on this board, and our findings very much confirmed those previously aired. Therefore I hope to address a few other areas, not covered by others, in order to provide a fuller picture.
Flights. Although on time, I found the seats very cramped both width-ways and lengthways. Therefore after 4 hours of virtually being unable to move more than a few inches, I was very glad to get off the plane.
Transfer. Whilst Dalaman airport is relatively close, the mountainous terrain does mean that the transfer time is around 1.5 hours. However the coach drivers we had were good, and took the various hairpin bends at a reasonable speed. A new tunnel is being constructed, and due to open for next summer, but in my opinion, this will only take around 15 - 20 minutes off the transfer time.
Hotel. Could noy fault it's location, facilities or service. It really is an oasis, which if you were so inclined, you could happily stay in all holiday if you wished.
Food. Whilst the quality of the buffet meals was very good, it was very similar on a day-to-day basis, hence only 4 out of 5. However if you interleave the set-menu food available in the a la carte restaurant, which at an additional cost of just

Have just arrived home from a fabulous 2 week Holiday at Club Belcekiz Olu Deniz. The Hotel is spotlessly clean in all areas.
Public toilets elegant in marble and cleaned frequently. Rooms adequate for family of 3 shame they have no larger family rooms we had to take 3 rooms.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and always around if you want a drink or snack.
Our children aged 11, 7, and 2 never joined the kids club they were quite happy in the lovely pool or beautiful beach wich lies just accross a small walkway from hotel -
I believe this is the only hotel with beach front location.
Back to the pool our only regret was that it was not heated (really cold) only the kids and ourselves dared no good for the older members.
The food was good and if you want to be waited on try the Italian. Indian, Thai or al a carte restaurant for a small fee extra well worth it.
Local alcohol a bit on the weak side though OK. Plenty of cold drinks for kids also available in dispensers around pool area and courtyard. Snacks available all day and ice ream for 1 hour in afternoon.
The entertainment was wey good Turish folk dancing 1 night, Belly dancer 1 night and the rest of the week you are entertained by the entertainment Team which is led by Al his Crazy assistant Air and Steve who is a great guy Katarina and Sonny they will keep the kids in stitches.
Overall a Fab hotel fab Location and after many holidays abroad including Caribean Indian Ocean and many in the Med this one will take some beating.
Forgot to mention the Fab weather for late October 14 days of Gloroius sunshine average 26 degrees. Though could be quite nippy at night when hotel lights a lovely log fire in room off of restaurant.
Will definately return.
Thanks to all!!!

First visited this hotel in September 2005 and revisited in October 2005 (7 weeks later). It is the best. Everybody without exception went out of their way to make our holiday perfect. We have made so many friends here that we will be returning again in May 2006.

This hotel was amazing. We travelled with our 3 kids and they absolutely loved it. There was something to do for everyone.
The entertainment team were great, especially Air. The shows were really funny and entertaining. The pool was freezing, only the kids had the bottle to jump in.
We met up with a couple of really nice people. The bar staff were great they tried as much as they could to make the holiday perfect.
The food was lovely and they had a different selections each day. I would recommend the omlettes for breakfast.
There was paragliding on the beach which was really fun.
There is nothing more I can put about this hotel but I would definitely recommend this for anyone. We will definitely return but in July 2006 because it was quite cold at night.
A Fantastic holiday!
