Bellis Deluxe Hotel

We really loved our experience staying in a villa here! The most relaxing holiday we have ever had! So many positives: great service, helpful staff, gorgeous premium fresh food everywhere (we didn’t however use the main buffet restaurant except occasionally for our kids), beautiful villa with a large private warm pool and private garden area, private beach pavilion, excellent butler service both at the villa and the beach pavilion, fantastic quality cocktails available, beautiful warm sunny weather, great cultural historic attractions to explore nearby. Even the laundry is included! Really recommend the incredible Baklava Turkish desserts! No insects / bites to contend with here. Minor things to be aware of: currently there is a view of a hotel being constructed and there is some low level noise from this during the day (nothing the hotel can do about this of course). Wine selection included is limited. The main pools were mostly pretty cold in October but the kids pool with the slides was lovely and warm, as was our villa pool. The beach cleaning could be better but generally the beach is great. A cracked tile in the garden area should be fixed for safety (I did not report this while staying though). Yes there are lots of Russian guests and most of the staff speak Russian but they are certainly polite and helpful to those who don’t. We did not find the staff unfriendly as others have said, it is a different style to OTT American style hospitality but that’s perfectly fine. I managed a stretching class entirely in Russian and the instructor was very sweet about it and tried to use the odd English word for me. The TV in our villa was all in Russian however and we couldn’t work out how to change it but that was a minor niggle. Thank you so much for a lovely stay! We hope to come back soon!
