I have visited Turkey 3 times now, the last 2 times to different places but due to the pandemic they were closed so I selected the IQ Belek as it was all inclusive and as a solo female traveller it's generally better to be in this style resort.

I arrived late at night, staff are in reception 24 7 so there was no issues. Lots of staff speak some English which was fabulous. I never expect anyone outside of England to speak English so this was a bonus. 

I was shown to my room and shown how to use my key card and the Aircon, which was a definite plus! It's an absolute essential, it's effective and nice and quiet too. 

The room, large real king-size bed, not twins stuck together. Lovely clean bedding and firm pillows. As is the tradition, there were thick cotton weaved blankets, trust me you don't need anything more, it's warm enough no duvet is required and once you find your ideal Aircon setting it's more than adequate. Bed was very comfortable and the curtains nice and thick so no light leaks. There is a mini fridge in the room and water is put in it every day for you.

I selected what was described as a double for solo use, it was well sized with a little balcony that looked out over the amusement park behind.

The bathroom was good, shower has a main shower head overhead and a shower attachment too. Ideal if you don't want a full on soaking. Toiletries provided in the room included soap, shower cap, shampoo conditioner and shower gel. Plenty of towels, 2 large bathsheets, 2 lare hand/hair towels and 2 smaller hand towels and slippers in a netted bag for use too.

I was given a towel card, this is exchanged at the spa for a large blue beach/ pool towel. You can change them as you wish in the spa so if you want a fresh towel you just go to the spa and swap it for a clean towel.

I visited the spa twice while I was there. Once for a Turkish foam massage and face massage and then again for a face shoulder massage and foot  massage. Definitely an experience!! I slept like a log afterwards and my skin squeaked I was so clean!

The cleaning staff visit every day and empty the bins and replenish any toiletries and remake your bed and give the room a sweep and wipe through. If you leave towels on the floor they are replaced. The room was fully cleaned a few times which on top of regular daily visits I think is more than enough. They visit around 11-1 each day.

The restaurant exceeded my expectations. I visited out of season but it still provided a full service each meal time. Due to covid staff fill your plates for you with your selections.

Breakfast has a mix of hot foods, some days including scrambled eggs, toasties, sausage mix, and then cold platters of cheeses meats and breads along with cereals and fruit. Lunch had a selection of around 6 hot dishes with accompanying rice and pasta and potato dishes, a full salad bar with dips and oils and sauces, fruits and then the most amazing cake bar I've ever seen. Evening meal again a selection of hot dishes plus the salad bar fruits and cakes and soup. I overdid each time on the cake despite having talks with myself beforehand... Failed every time.

Each afternoon for a couple of hours there were burgers and chips to help yourself too and ice cream.. very very tasty and plentiful.

Drinks.... Coffee machines and soft drinks including pepsi sprite tonic the tastiest juice machines I've tried in any resort, not watered down at all. Again all prepared for you by the staff due to covid restrictions. Alcohol was a local lager beer Tuborg, plenty of gin vodka raki etc and then a half dozen cocktails you can choose from. Measures are not a thing lol... I needed to ask for less alcohol lol.. again not a bad thing.

Bare with me on the review I know this is long.

Pools 3 in total. A small pool with slides, I'm too old n fat to try them out but they looked like fun. A smaller pool to the side of the hotel and then the main pool out the front of the main bar and restaurant. Feels cold when u get in but when the temperature is in the high 20s it is exactly what is needed and after a minute you don't even notice. The 2 larger pools also have a small children's shallow section with railing.

Music is played around the main pool and the 2 daytime animation staff, a young lady and young man were always smiling and happy to see everyone. Watching the young chap encourage all the older men one day to partake in pool aerobics made my day my face ached from laughing. The young lady did a dedicated half hour with all the children each evening of dances and music and she was so good with all the children regardless of age or language.

There are toilets in the lobby bar, at the far end of the main pool and near the water slides. The lobby bar is nice and quiet if you just want a coffee or a bit of quiet. If you are up through the night the staff are also happy to get you a drink from the lobby bar.

There is a minibus that leaves from the front door throughout the day to the local beach. It takes a couple of minutes to get there and also comes back every hour too, the times are displayed in reception. The sea was very warm which I didn't expect for some reason. The staff also take plenty of cold drinks there and there is also a little cafe bar and fruit juice stand and little souvenir shop too. No pressure to purchase, no harassment. There is also security on the beach and lifeguards.

Staff. What can I say, from reception, to the lifeguard, to the cleaning team, to the bar to restaurant and kitchen teams. All so welcoming and generous with their time despite being busy. I can now proudly say I have learnt some Turkish words! Nothing was too much trouble, a credit to the hotel.

As you can tell I enjoyed my time, so much so I have already booked to come back next year and will be bringing my other half with me. If like to keep this place all to myself but...it's unfair.

So, if you want chips n chicken nuggets stay in the UK. If you are going to another country embrace the culture and ways and don't complain when people don't speak english. Try the different dishes you may suprise yourself. Learn a few words with the staff, or at least try. 

As it is all inclusive tips are appreciated, but are never asked for. Not once did I feel obliged. I tipped because I know what working in hospitality can be like and frankly I appreciated their time. I felt safe and my word I was well fed and we'll watered.

I loved it......I can't wait to go back!!

Long review.

We spent £1052 for a weeks stay at the start of July, the hotel it’s self up is gorgeous and it is very close to Land Of Legends which I highly recommend you visit. If you are wanting to visit The Land Of Legends, we paid £68 per person for the day, we booked it with a man named Hamza who is located in a near by shop, he looked after us very well. We also bought a boat trip with him which was £30 each. The staff in the hotel work extremely hard and they always polite. One of the only down sides of the hotel was food, the me and my girlfriend are picky eaters so the options were very limited it was usually chicken, pasta and rice. Overall this hotel is very good, it was 3 fresh water pools which people barely used. The hotel didn’t have very many english however the staff could speak a little of English.

Good hotel for price we paid.

This is the worst hotel experience of my life if i could give it zero stars i would the management of this hotel was rude and vile no customer service skills i have no idea how it is a 4 star hotel they can’t even facilitate a normal card transaction do not book this hotel save yourself the misery it ruined our holiday we moved from ramada lara to here and it was like being slapped in the face save your money it’s not worth it

do not book

If you are from the UK do not book this hotel as you will not be welcomed! 
The staff are very rude towards British people, me and my boyfriend booked all inclusive and only ate one day in this hotel as the food made me physically sick, not much variety of different food. We didn’t have any alcoholic drinks as we was asking for vodka and Pepsi and they were just giving us Pepsi no matter how much we asked for Vodka. I would be waiting at the bar to be served and the staff just walked away without even acknowledging me. 
The room was no where near 4 stars, the shower was hanging off the wall, no light in the main room so was stupidly dark, the room was really dusty and also no balcony only a small window which opened. We had no cleaner the whole time we was there. 
The water slides were not working at all the whole time we was there and the closest beach is a 30 minute walk and full of rubbish when you get there.
If it wasn’t for land of legends being so close I dread to think how bad our holiday would have been. 
I’m not one to leave reviews usually but honestly save your money and do not book here!
