The X Belek Hotel

We spent six nights at The X Belek, and getting around was easy: the airport is about 30-35 minutes away, Land of Legends takes 15-20 minutes, and Forsa Mall is only 5-8 minutes from the hotel. The beach shuttle was handy, and we could get snacks and drinks at the beach hotel owned by XBelek. The pools were lovely and family-friendly. The birthday surprise they arranged for my husband after I asked was a nice touch. Food was mostly great, especially the snack bar, Starbucks, and Patisserie. We weren't keen on the food at Thymari A la Carte, though. I'd suggest booking all-inclusive, since there aren't good restaurants nearby. A couple of things could be better. The room cleaning wasn't great. Two women in my family also had a poor medical massage experience: the massage staff talked to each other and seemed eager to finish quickly. On the other hand, Kadek gave me a wonderful tanning massage. She was very good, and I really appreciated her dedication. We had a nice stay overall and would recommend it for a staycation.

We had a great time here. The whole place was clean and well cared for, with fun shows, plenty to do, and delicious food. The staff were friendly and lively, and Zahra deserves a special mention. She was engaging, so much fun, and really added to our stay. One of the best hotels I've stayed at, highly recommend it!

We really didn't want to leave! The hotel has beautiful grounds and a lovely, relaxing feel, and everything seemed well organized. Our room was comfortable and clean, with regular housekeeping. There was a good range of delicious food each day, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout.

The one thing to keep in mind is the distance from the sea: the hotel isn't right on the beach, so you'll need to walk or take transport to get there. That was fine for us, and we had a very good stay. The peaceful surroundings, clean pools, tidy rooms, tasty food with lots of choice, and helpful staff all made it comfortable and relaxing.
