We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel as it was spotless.

We would especially like to thank the cleaning staff as you can imagine the mess that 3 girls make when preparing for a night out.

The food was of a high standard but with the time restrictions it meant that it was often very busy. The ala carte restaurant was very impressive and well worth a small additional charge.

The location was brilliant as the hotel is right on the beach with beautiful mountain views. There are bars, shops and restaurants all within a few hundred yards and the Turkish people are extremely friendly. We would recommend that you go paragliding as it was an amazing experience with fantastic views of Olu Deniz.

The hotel staff were always helpful and friendly. We were particularly impressed with the Pool Bar and Entertainment Crew.

There was a full entertainment programme thoughout the day and night with energetic staff who were very friendly and approachable.

We are already planning our return visit to Club Belcekiz Beach, this was our first visit to Turkey and our first All Inclusive hotel, and we would definitely recommend both.

Stayed at the Belcekiz Beach Hotel in Olu Deniz from 23rd to 30th May 2005.
We flew from Gatwick with Thomsons and both outbound and return flights were on time.
We had heard before going that this could be a long transfer, so emailed the Hotel and they sent a mini bus (for 2 of us), the driver was waiting with our names on a board as we left the airport. The charge for this was

I have just returned from Club Belcekiz Beach hotel.

We found the hotel staff very sweet, espeially the managers who could not do enough for us!.

Although the room we stayed in was spotless it was very cramped and we did not get toilet roll every day.

The restaraunt staff were charming and very efficient but I thought the food was very bland and repetative and the local booze was very poor quality especially the wine which was very acidic and likend to vinegar! Be warned, two glasses of this stuff and you will on the deck before you can say sherafe! Please excuse the spelling!.

As for the entertainment, the shows were bordering on moronic! The Plaza bar music was ok on the first night but grated on my nerves as they played the same tunes every night, there were not enough seats in the Plaza bar either for the sheer volume of guests and standing up is frowned upon, so sometimes you may find yourself having to go elsewhere for the evening, which may not be a bad thing more of a welcome relief to be honest!

The same goes for the pool area, same problem too may guests and not enough room! Towels on loungers at dawn please or face bitter dissapointment and off to the beach 6 lira each! By the pool area you will encounter hoards of unruly kids whos parents cannot or will not control!

As a summary, it is fun all round if you have lots of patience and a good sense of humour and dont mind wearing an orange plastic wristband for the duration of your stay!.

If you are a woman and anywhere near attractive, the attentions of all the male staff will be yours, and you may recieve a lot of romantic propositions, from management down to bar staff, enjoy!

Hotel was much better than expected. I think the best we have stayed in after many holidays over the years.

Good location, on the beach itself. Frendly staff and the Thomson rep Emma was brilliant!

Only downside for us is the evening meal, only 2 hours for all the guests to eat.... a free for all. Mad rush! Even though we were half board we still ate out because of this.

Arriving at a sensible time (18:30ish) from dalaman allowed us to settle in quickly before being spoilt for choice at the buffet bar. The rooms were superb with TV, aircon ( priceless) and a high pressure shower room & european wc. Cleaned daily by a very friendly maid who made her mark with fresh flowers from the hotel garden to decorate the beds. the facilities were spotless if a little slippery around the pool. Mosquitoes and other biting insects remain a big problem to all, but make sure you get some lemon balm to ease the itching. Breakfast was interesting with multiple choice including peaches like footballs and freshly made omelettes. Located so close to the beach with all its attractions, boats, parascending, powered hangliders in boats ( yes - flying boats) but always be aware that the grasses area between the hotel/restaurants and the beach is a landing zone for the paragliders who take off from the 7000 foot mountain behind olu deniz and land at the rate of 15 per hour every hour except when its pitch black! Staff were the most hard working bunch occasionally excessive but always enthusiastic. Entertainment in the evening was free and colourful, mostly amateur and skittish, but the belly dancer and the cabaret style dancers from russia who would do well to add a little more material to their outfits!!! were very good.
Quiet zones are absent so find a vacant tree in the garden and use ear plugs and avoid the "crew" looking for victioms for the daily boules, table tennis and water polo games.

If there are to be criticisms it is the compression of the evening meal times between 19:30 and 21:30 requiring 400+ guests to fight around the buffet every night. Slacken off the times to say 18:30 to 22;00 and the place would calm down a little.

there was a tv programme recently critising the turkish driving madness. This programme was trash. the drivers were skilled, patient and thoughtful reducing speed to zero to cross all the speed bumps and this was a common theme to everyone who saw the programme. Accidents do happen but the roads to dalaman are good given the geography.

Walking passed shops is an experience here, they are desperate for you to buy from them and they will do anything for your money - so be entertained with the odd haggle.

the standard trips are available but do the dive with EDC they did one on one with all 3 of my kids with good quality equipment and trust me the fish will love you.

Would we go back - if we could we would tomorrow.

Thanks to Mehmet and his catering crew, the plaza bar, pool bar and the ever so charming receptionists and turkey in general for a great time.

The rooms at the Belcekiz Beach were adequate for a family of 3, but did not leave much space for suitcases. Each rooms has 3 single beds with bathroom en-suite and well stocked minibar. Safe deposit boxes at

This was a amazing holiday because of where I stayed it was a gorgeous view to look at of a morning while eating my breakfast.

The staff were amazing and could all speak English.

The entertainment of a night was fun and the disco made my holiday. You could get involded whether you were young or old this hotel caterd for the family or friends or just a couple and you could relax or have a lively holiday.

This was the best holiday and booked for next year was a amazing place!

We arrived at Belcekiz Beach in the middle of the night so we were a little uncertain as to what lay ahead of us... but what a dream come true. The hotel was A+. The staff were so friendly and so eager to make your stay perfect. The food was excellent and the desserts to die for. We made so many good friends within the hotel and the town that we are going back again next year and taking our brother and sister-in-law with us.

The only thing that we would have liked would have been tea/coffee facilities in our room. But our room was perfect, with enough space so we weren't bumping into each other.

It was our first holiday without our children and thanks to everyone at the hotel it was absolutely perfect.
