Ela Excellence Resort Belek

Just got back from the incredible Ela Excellence Hotel! This place is a dream for families. Our 3 year had the best time and so did we! The food and drinks are out of this world, and the entertainment kept us busy all week. A huge thank you to our amazing Ela Assistants, Mustafa & Umutcan, who were super helpful with everything. Highly recommend!

Just returned from a week at Ela Excellence resort. As a family, this is the best hotel we???ve stopped in. We paid a lot more on top of our last holiday and was it worth the extra money- yes! The decor is luxurious and you don???t need to move from the pool side as drinks are served to you. You scan a QR code and order. The drinks menu is extensive and premium brands included. This is the same for the beach. We loved the patisserie and ice cream. Entertainment is very good and the list of daily activities is huge. The kids club was fantastic. Lots to do and a whole activity programme. Our daughter never wanted to leave. She loved the daily craft. The free teddy bear was also a lovely touch. There is an on site water park. Found the WhatsApp service very useful if you needed anything. Toiletries included shampoo, shower gel and conditioner, body lotion, dental kit, comb, cotton buds, nail file, cotton pads for makeup and they provided baby toiletries too. A potty, toilet seat and baby bath and cot. They also gave my husband a shaving kit on request. The hotel and its surroundings are beautiful. Even the main buffet restaurant is surrounded by Koi fish pond. Also enjoyed the coffee shop, milkshake bar and greengrocer. We tried all included restaurants - La Sofa, La Sante, La Salsa, the 24/7 and the Hyatt buffet. La Sante was by far the best, big thank you to Bursa for making our evening. We also enjoyed a night at the Greek. We never struggled to get a sunbed but if you want one in a prime position then you would have to be first. Room cleaned daily, towels changed and mini bar stocked up. The hotel in general is very clean. Negatives Range on the buffet extensive but odd at times with main menu like dishes for breakfast. I never thought I would say this, but service was too fast at times with mains coming out before finished starters and appetitisers arriving as soon as we???ve sat down and hadn???t taken a drink order yet. No hot plates in the restaurants and the food in the buffet we found some of the food to be cold/lukewarm as they are not served in metal trays. Most are in ceramic dishes and they are under heated lamps which are useless so unless it???s cooked fresh it was cold. We had bad service at the Mexican la salsa restaurant but the food was great. Shops on site are very expensive, for example suncream at ???50 per bottle, which are ??5 at home. Spa prices are crazy high how they get anyone in I don???t know. Some of the facilities don???t open until 10am so if you???re up early you need to wait. The children???s menu is the same at every restaurant. Tips - pre order food for the airplane or get on plane if you want risk it as the food at Atlanya airport is very expensive. McDonald???s happy meal is ??12! We don???t usually go back to the same place twice but we would here.

Excellent hotel! My husband and I got married in Turkey two weeks ago and went to Ela for our honeymoon. We had the most amazing time and have both said it's the best hotel we've ever been to. The staff were fantastic and so accommodating. A special shout out to Mehtap, Serhat, Tamara and Irmak, who all went above and beyond to make our honeymoon extra special. We couldn't have asked for more. The food and drinks were out of this world! Thank you!
