Gural Premier Belek

Excellent hotel, especially for families with children! Great food, clean pools, and just a short walk to the beach. Everything was well organized, and we had a fantastic stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing family vacation!

Happyland is very cute. My kids really enjoy it. There is a show each evening. Stuff is super helpful and careful with kids. They suggest a lot of games. They give all kind of kid toys to my kids. I highly recommend the hotel and the kids club. This is our third time here. Saida is amazing. She speaks different languages and manage the games very well.

Very satisfied with the programs and animators. Very kind people for the children. Especially Saida, we like her very much. Thank you for making our holiday special

Great as always. Unfortunately the food diversity went a little down since last years, cleaning also a little down (but more cleaner then other resorts). Animation went up since last times I was there. Alcohol quality was a little lower then last times. Aquapark went sky-high then last times. But as a whole experience is great.

My Review After Several Days at This Resort After spending several days at this resort, I decided to share a detailed review. My goal is not only to help those who are still undecided about choosing this resort or who are looking for more complete information, but also to offer constructive feedback to the management. I have visited many resorts in different countries and, above all, I have spent many years managing hospitality properties myself. For that reason, I understand very well how challenging it is to operate a resort of this size and to meet the expectations of thousands of guests every single day. Everything I write below comes with respect, appreciation, and the sincere hope of helping an already excellent resort become even better. I firmly believe that constructive feedback is always an opportunity for improvement, and that it is often the smallest details that make the difference between a very good resort and an exceptional one. Reception – 10/10 The first impression was outstanding. The reception team was professional, friendly, polite and always willing to help. Every phone call was answered immediately, and every request was handled quickly and professionally. A special thank you goes to Amra, whose kindness, patience and professionalism stood out throughout our stay. Gardens & Landscaping – 10/10 One of the most beautiful resort environments I have experienced. The villas are surrounded by beautiful gardens, flowers and mature trees. It is obvious that landscaping and maintenance are among the resort's highest priorities. Rooms – 9.5/10 We stayed in a duplex villa and were extremely satisfied. The room included every amenity you would expect from a luxury resort: toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, shaving foam, a minibar replenished daily, and many thoughtful details. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, housekeeping cleaned the room every day, and the bed linens were changed daily. Cleanliness – 10/10 Without any doubt, this is the strongest point of the resort. It is rare to see such an exceptional standard of cleanliness. Everywhere I looked—glass surfaces, wooden furniture, restaurants, balconies, swimming pools, tables, glasses and every public area—everything was spotless. It is obvious that cleanliness is one of management's highest priorities. Food – 8.5/10 Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of choices suitable for both children and adults. Lunch and dinner were good in terms of quality, but I believe they would benefit from greater variety and creativity, as several dishes were repeated throughout the week. The main restaurant was noticeably better than both the beach restaurant and the Aquapark restaurant. One suggestion concerns the traditional Turkish dessert Rice Pudding (Sütlaç). As one of Turkey's signature desserts, I expected a richer version. On several occasions it was extremely thin, almost like drinking milk, and contained very little rice. It is only a small detail, but improving it would certainly enhance the dessert selection. Beach – 8/10 The beach itself was pleasant, with clean water, nice sand, new sun loungers, lifeguards, a beach bar and a beach restaurant. However, I noticed two issues. During the daytime there were many tiny insects, similar to mosquitoes, which made it difficult to stay at the beach for more than two hours. Additionally, some parts of the beach could be cleaned more thoroughly. There were occasional pieces of litter and a few damaged umbrellas that should be replaced. Main Swimming Pool – 8.5/10 The water was clean and both the lifeguards and staff were always attentive and helpful. However, more shaded areas are needed around the pool during the hottest hours of the day. The biggest issue was the pool bar. During peak hours, guests often had to wait 15–20 minutes because only two bartenders were serving more than 150 people. Waiters frequently took drink orders but sometimes never returned with them. The pastry selection, however, was of very good quality. Quiet Pool A peaceful area for guests seeking relaxation, although the drink selection was more limited than at the other bars. Aquapark – 9/10 One of the highlights of the resort. It was clean, attractive and very well supervised by a large team dedicated to guest safety. However, I would suggest a few improvements: Drinks were often not cold enough. The restaurant menu repeated almost every day. The ceiling cooling system was not operating, making the indoor restaurant warmer than the outside temperature. The dress code was enforced inconsistently. Some guests were allowed to enter wearing only swimwear while others were not. The same rules should apply equally to everyone. Evening Entertainment – 8,5 /10 The evening shows were enjoyable and varied. Without any doubt, the highlight was the children's show featuring famous animated characters. It was wonderful to see hundreds of parents recording the performance while children were completely captivated and did not want the show to end. From what I observed, more than 40% of the guests were families with children. For that reason, I believe these children's performances should be presented more frequently. If I am not mistaken, this particular show took place on Friday evening, and in my opinion it was by far the most popular show of the entire week. The atmosphere was completely different from the other evenings. Almost nobody left before the performance ended, parents were constantly filming, and the children were absolutely fascinated by the characters. For this reason, I would strongly recommend repeating this show more often during the week. I believe it would be one of the best investments in the entertainment program, as it creates unforgettable memories not only for children but also for their parents, adding tremendous value to the resort as a family destination. The live music after the evening shows also created a very pleasant atmosphere and was a wonderful way to end each evening. Restaurant Service – 8.5/10 The restaurant staff were polite, respectful and always willing to help. However, during busy periods, especially at dinner, they appeared overwhelmed. Orders were occasionally mixed up, forgotten or never arrived. This seemed more related to staffing levels and experience than to attitude, because everyone remained friendly despite the pressure. Suggestions That Could Make an Excellent Resort Even Better One thing that genuinely surprised me was the absence of a quiet, air-conditioned lounge or coffee bar, something that almost every resort of this standard offers. There are always guests who want to work on a laptop, read a book, attend an online meeting or simply relax indoors during the hottest hours of the day. The reception lobby is relatively small and located away from the main resort area, so it doesn't really fulfill that purpose. Perhaps the enclosed seating area beside the main pool bar could be transformed into such a lounge. During my stay I noticed many elderly guests—as well as people like myself—looking for a cool, quiet place to spend some time or get a little work done, but there simply wasn't one available. I was genuinely surprised that this need had not already been identified, despite regularly seeing managers walking around the property. Another suggestion would be to place a guest feedback questionnaire in every room, allowing guests to share their comments and suggestions before leaving. Very often, these small observations help excellent resorts become even better. My Overall Ratings Reception: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Gardens & Landscaping: 10/10 Rooms: 9.5/10 Aquapark: 9/10 Evening Entertainment: 9/10 Food: 8.5/10 Main Pool: 8.5/10 Live Music: 8.5/10 Restaurant Service: 8.5/10 Beach: 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, this is a resort that I would recommend without hesitation, especially for families with children. If someone asked me only two questions, my answers would be very simple. Is it worth staying here? Absolutely. Without any hesitation. Yes, it is. I believe you will leave satisfied. Would I come back again? Absolutely. With great pleasure. In fact, before even leaving the resort, I had already recommended it to several friends. Finally, I would like to thank the entire staff and management for their hospitality and for the tremendous work they do every day. I sincerely hope my suggestions will be received in the same positive spirit in which they are offered. Having spent many years working in this industry myself, I understand how much dedication, organization, patience and hard work it takes to manage a resort of this size, serving thousands of guests and coordinating hundreds of employees every single day. That is precisely why I wanted to share this review. I truly believe that it is often the smallest details that make the difference between a very good resort and a truly exceptional one. I wish you continued success, and I genuinely hope that when I return in the future, I will have the pleasure of seeing some of these suggestions implemented.

I enjoyed very much animation sport classes with Seval. They were very useful and relaxing in the sports spirit. I was participating in yoga, stretching, trampoline and aqua classes with my mother. Seval is the perfect and energetic instructor always with big smile.

# The hotel where both children and parents can truly relax We spent a long time choosing a hotel for our family vacation with two children, and Güral Premier Belek exceeded all our expectations. The first great surprise came right after arrival. We landed early in the morning and were checked in around 9:00 a.m. without any extra charge. Our room request was taken into account, and as a lovely bonus for our wedding anniversary the hotel surprised us with sparkling wine, a cake, fruit and snacks, plus a 50% discount for the seafood à la carte restaurant. It was a wonderful gesture. The biggest strength of this hotel is its people. Every single member of staff — reception, guest relations, bartenders, waiters, housekeeping — was genuinely friendly, professional and always smiling. Service was consistently excellent throughout our stay. The hotel grounds are beautiful: spacious, green and made up of villas rather than one huge building. Even when the hotel felt busy, it never felt crowded. If you are travelling with children, Happy Land is simply outstanding. The Russian-speaking animation team was fantastic, the facilities are excellent, and we really appreciated the safety system that allows parents to choose whether children can leave the club independently or only with their parents. Our kids absolutely loved it. The beach is wide with a gentle sandy entrance into the sea, making it perfect for families. One detail we especially appreciated was the thick, comfortable mattresses on every sunbed — such a simple idea, yet surprisingly rare. The heated main pool was fantastic, and the water park deserves special mention. It isn't just a few slides — it's a whole entertainment area with great attractions for both children and adults, a lazy river, its own restaurant and bar. Food was excellent with plenty of variety every day. Fresh fruit, seafood, meat, desserts — there was always something new to try. The pool bars offered a great selection of premium imported drinks and excellent cocktails. The evening entertainment was honestly the best we have seen in any resort. Professional performances, impressive stage design, huge LED screens, lighting and sound created a real show every night. After the performances, live music continued in another area of the resort, yet the villas remained peaceful and quiet. No hotel is perfect, and neither is this one. The bars at the beach and water park had a much more limited selection of drinks than the main bars. During our stay the pier was closed for maintenance, and the children's pool in the water park was colder than the main pool. Still, these were only minor details compared to everything else. We rarely return to the same hotel twice, but Güral Premier Belek has definitely become one of those places we would happily visit again. If you're looking for a resort where children are entertained while parents can truly relax, this hotel is very hard to beat. ⭐ Service – 5/5 ⭐ Location – 5/5 ⭐ Cleanliness – 5/5 ⭐ Sleep Quality – 5/5 ⭐ Value – 5/5
