Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort

"First let’s start with the positives the hotel is huge with amazing large room with plenty of storage. It never felt like we were in top of each other as a family of three. There are loads of pools (some very cold but just the time of year but I am sure a welcome relief in the summer months) and really big so never felt crowded. The water park on site was amazing. Kids club was the best we’ve ever experienced and at times it felt like my 8 year old just wanted to spend all his time there, it felt more like a youth club they could drop in and out of with ps5’s, cinema rooms, arcades, outside play area, laser tag, activities etc Now for the negatives the food wasn’t great, the three outside al a carte restaurants were the most disappointing. Service was also disappointing when you got to the buffet it was difficult to find a table that had been cleared and ready for service so we spent a lot of time walking about, at the pool there seemed to be only one server in the ball the rest it took ages to get their attention and in several occasions a drink I ordered never materialised so I ended up just going to the bar myself. In the arcade area there were a few machines not working. Everything is priced in euro’s if you are buying anything. Finally if you are looking a relaxing holiday by the pool this is not going to happen as the hotel next door (Adam and eve) is clearly an adult party hotel with music blasting all afternoon. Overall it was a great holiday but if I compare to other places I have been that are 5 star it didn’t quite hit the mark"

"As a family of 3 we spent a week at Maxx Royal Belek from 24th October. Our three previous holidays have been with Ikos resorts so much of the below is benchmarked accordingly. Overall we had a great stay, with many positives being undermined by a couple of biggish gripes. Let’s start with the great: 1. Our room (1333) was exceptional. Huge, well thought out, loads of space, big wardrobes and very comfy. In comparison to other 5* it was the best we’ve experienced. 2. The waterpark was great fun, well supervised and quiet. Our son had a blast here (as did his mummy and daddy). 3. Pools were similarly excellent. Large main pool was great, saltwater pool super when a bit chilly (it was heated). 4. Kids Club was a revelation for our 8 year old. Staff were great, lots of activities and technology to keep everyone happy. Felt more like a youth club but in a good way. 5. Maxx assistants were really deserving of praise, including help with medical issue and a few other tricky queries. 6. The place was spotless, and the grounds a delight to wander through. Excellent October weather made this even more delightful. Now, unfortunately, some of the challenges: 1. Maxx Royal need to find a way to deal with the Adam & Eve hotel next door. Ear splitting music from their various parties mean your ‘relaxing’ stay can feel like you’re in the middle of a rave. It’s just not acceptable to subject guests to this inconvenience and paying guests should always have the choice of attending music/shows rather than being subjected to it. Particularly if it’s from another hotel 2. Food was distinctly average, which was a real disappointment. A La Carte restaurants were very underwhelming. Buffet restaurant was fine, but tables were not cleared quickly enough and it felt chaotic. Ikos blows them out of the water here…. It just didn’t feel 5* 3. Maxx assistants and a few staff aside, service was too inconsistent, especially around the pool areas. If the noise and food issues were addressed, an enjoyable stay would have been a world class experience. Sadly, do take these into consideration when looking at Maxx Royal Belek."

"Such a fantastic half term Sunny break An all inclusive treat - we stayed in the terrace suites. Lovely a quiet, spacious and I had a wonderful treat on my birthday with balloons and cake and champagne The buffet was a huge success with the whole family and the free all inclusive restaurants are also very nice. The staff provided Super service and lovely sunny weather 26°. The children really enjoyed all the six different swimming pools which were a little bit chilly but very refreshing not to mention the wonderful cats and kittens that we found in the gardens that were very well cared for. Particular staff to mention at Sunlit Beach were Emre and Poyraz. in the Hotel bar Merve and in the amazing buffet main restaurant Venly and Huseyin. Also fantastic to have the Maxx assistants on call via a chat app - we had the fantastic Kristina and Mehriban We will be back!"
