Gloria Verde Resort

To the beach through the big garden landscape it took about 10 minutes on foot. Belek as next town 7 kilometers and Antalya 50 kilometers (the airport was also there).
Shopping possibilities were only possible in Belek. You could go there with the hotel shuttle bus or with the taxi (arrange the price beforehand, 7-10 Euros were ok). There were loads of possibilities of getting rid of your money. What annoyed also in the pre-season were the constant approaches by the surounding merchants in their stores. Excursions were offered at reception through different travel agents. You could also book excursions if you travelled there individually.

The friendliness of the staff was absolutely (at least with us) the best. Everyone tried hard to help the guest also without a tip. Foreign languages were mostly English but of course in the mean time there are also Turkish staff members with good German skills. The room service always took place when we weren't there. Very clean and faithful.
Laundry in the hotel, doctor as well with appointement arrangement. Handling of complaints was quick, you noticed good management.

That was great! A 6 with stars. As mentioned 65 Euros for the double room and half board. What awaited us every evening was perfect. The dishes were changed every day with theme areas and also every evening local kitchen. The salads clean, fresh and always in new variations. Fish and meat offers overwhelming from lobster to salmon and a lot more. You felt like on a cruise ship. Desserts, fruit always the best quality. The quantity was also not to be beaten. Bread offer was wonderful. In the mornings breakfast with fresh fruit. A chef was placed to fry fresh omlettes, scrambles eggs with additions like cheese, mushrooms, etc. Especially for golfers respectively athletes the dish offer should have a lot of fresh variations which was perfectly fulfilled.
We can't say that it's offered like that today but for us it was like that. In 3 weeks we didn't even have problems with bad dishes, etc.
Once a week we could even eat in one of the restaurants without additional charge. Only at the buffet alcoholic drinks for a charge. The food in this restaurant included a menu with 6 courses for example grilled quails, etc. Also here the grade very good. Atmosphere was very pleasant, tips for the single waiter groups once a week. Price for alcoholic drinks was normal.

All sorts of watersport activities were offered. For children there was a kids club, water slides, etc., an indoor pool with spa and wellness, big outside pool, childrens pool, beach bar and the 500 meter long beach which was greatly located with beach chairs, showers, etc.
Water and beach quality even good in winter. There was also an amphitheater at the pool for 1056 visitors. In the Serenity Resort, one of the daughter hotels you had 6 bowling alleys, billiard, cinema (56 places) and a nightclub available. Usage also for Gloria Verde guests.

24 square meters as standard room with balcony and seating. The rooms had all standards like bathroom with hair dryer, telephone (bathroom), TV/SAT, flatscreen, air conditioning, minibar, safe, WLAN.
The condition was very clean and the furniture really not used. You noticed that it was repaired or renovated in time.

The price/performance ratio absolutely surprised us and there isn't an expression for our satisfaction with this holiday. For golfers you can say that all 4 times of year were playable and in the off season good prices.
You should avoid the excursions going to factories with buying shows. Absolutely a waste of time and not cheap. Like coffee trips. We joined in one and because of the could look at Antalya. Everything else was terrible beginning with the food. I bought my wife a souvenir at a jeweler with a certificate and without beeing pushed or ripped off.
