The quality of rest in Turkey largely depends on the status of the hotel. It is in Arkhipo-Osipovka that people go for the sake of the sea. Or there in Gelendzhik. And to Turkey - for the sake of the sea, the beach, comfortable rooms, delicious food according to the All Inclusive concept, animation and incendiary entertainment. And almost all of this depends entirely on the hotel. You can live in a modest “troika” and come to the room “only to spend the night”, satisfying your hunger in cafes on the waterfront. But if you want to relax without worries, choose a hotel with only five stars. In this article we will characterize one of them - Voyage Belek Golf & Spa 5.
We built our description largely on the reviews of tourists. In Turkey, many hotels have a distinct focus. There are so-called party hotels, where the main emphasis is on animation and youth entertainment. There are hotels for lovers of sports and spa treatments. As you might guess from the name, our hotel just belongs to this category. But she also has another specificity. This is the maximum service for children, including infants.
Where is locatedhotel?
Where else can a hotel with the name Voyage Belek be located if not in Belek? This resort is young and dynamically developing. It enjoys fame as a place of rest for young people. But for the guests of the hotel "Voyage Belek" all conditions for silence, tranquility, stay in languid bliss are created. The hotel is located not in the town itself, but on its outskirts. More precisely, two kilometers from Belek. This distance is called optimal. You can leisurely stroll barefoot along the edge of the sea or along the promenade. In half an hour you will be in the historical center of Belek. Voyage Belek is a first line hotel. It has its own beach, to which we will devote more information below. Many tourists want to know how long it will take to get to their vacation spot from the airport. From Antalya, where the air gates of the entire Mediterranean coast of Turkey are located, Belek is less than an hour away. After all, only forty kilometers separate the two cities.
Hotel area
Voyage Belek belongs to the Voyage hotel chain. The hotel was built in 2007 according to the luxury concept. The best landscape designers and architects of Turkey were involved in the development of a vast territory of ninety-three and a half thousand square meters. The result was a garden of Eden, which fit pools, cafes, golf courses, as well as the actual hotel buildings. There are several types of these latter.
Firstly, three buildings with five, six and seven floors - for those who like to live in high-rise hotel-type buildings. Tourists who want to get the most out of their own kind can stay in a bungalow. It's sixsmall two-story houses. Those who have money, but do not have the desire to tolerate at least some neighbors, can rent a two-level villa. There are several such islands of luxurious rest called "Duplex Lagoon" in the hotel. Their guests can use the entire infrastructure of the hotel. The hotel was last renovated in 2014.
Rooms
At the same time, 1175 people can relax at the Voyage Belek hotel. The description of rooms traditionally begins with their classification. So, the simplest category of rooms in the hotel "Voyage Belek" is "standard". These rooms are located both in buildings and in bungalows. The difference between them is only in area. In a bungalow, it is larger - 37 square meters versus 32. And the content is the same. The category above is "standard room sea view". These rooms are located in the main building and, as the name implies, you can admire the sea from their balconies. For families of four, there is a "family room". These rooms consist of two bedrooms separated by a connecting door. They are located in the main building and in the bungalow. They have the same area - 40 square meters.
Recommendations for choosing a room here lean in favor of the main building. From these rooms you can see the sea, and from the bungalow - only the garden. The higher category is "deluxe" (60 sq.m.). And the most luxurious - "king suite". The last two categories of guests have the privileges of VIP guests, which we will talk about later. A company of 4-6 adults and two children can rent a two-story villa. "Laguna duplex" - re althe pride of the hotel. And now we will talk about filling the rooms.
What's in the guest rooms?
Your horizons of what a five-star hotel should look like will undoubtedly expand once you get into the "standard" Voyage Belek hotel. The flat screen TV has many channels, including three Russian ones. The temperature in the bedroom is monitored by a split-system climate control. A daily replenished minibar, an electronic safe, a hot drinks kit and a balcony complete the décor. The bathroom has not only a hairdryer with toiletries, but also bathrobes and slippers.
Standard room can accommodate a third guest as it has his rollaway bed. The deluxe is even more luxurious. Instead of a balcony, there is a spacious terrace with a jacuzzi and two sun loungers under a beach umbrella. In the bedroom, in addition to a TV, there is also a player (CD and DVD) with a home theater function. The bathroom has a shower and another Jacuzzi. There is also a deluxe connection room with two terraces and two bedrooms. It has a living room with upholstered furniture.

The inhabitants of this island of luxury have direct access to the pool.
What is VIP service?
What advantages do the residents of superior rooms have over other guests of the Voyage Belek hotel? Service for VIP guests is thought out to the smallest detail and begins literally from the moment of arrival. Such vacationers are greeted with flowers, they are settled in a room without a queue, and an employee of the hospitality department escorts them to the door of the apartment.

An additional service is required - turndown service. The mini-bar in such apartments is replenished better than in ordinary ones. Guests can not only refresh themselves with soft drinks, but also enjoy chocolate milk, try crayfish, whiskey, gin, etc. A special attitude towards such guests is manifested even in cosmetic accessories. They are branded - from Bulgari. At the request of guests, breakfast is delivered directly to the room.
Voyage Belek Hotel: Food

And this means that the food there is of the highest standard. First of all, the reviews report a competent division of the hotel infrastructure into two zones - adult and family. The hotel has two main restaurants (buffet service). But in one of themEntrance for persons under 16 is reserved. But in the second there is a whole compartment for little guests. Children can choose their own dishes - just like adults. Five-star hotels are required to have a la carte restaurants. And in Voyage Belek there are eight of them! Five of them are free for guests. These are restaurants of Mexican (“Gracias”), fish (“Dip”), Turkish (“Kebab”), Greek (“Ela Ela”) and Thai (“Tai Chai”) cuisines. You will have to pay for visiting three more a la carte restaurants.
