Serenity Now! All…read moreinclusive resort on the beach of the Mediterranean. We had a wonderful stay here. I'm always a bit nervous checking out of one hotel and into another, particularly when leaving a Ritz Carlton. We also love going out to dinner, so all inclusives are a bit of an unknown for us. It's that unknown that had us worried as we arrived. The website lists few details about the restaurants and there is that overly complicated and tricky way that you have to make reservations two nights in advance for the sit down restaurants. We couldn't do that prior to arrival and we thought we'd be sent to the buffet. Not the case, go figure there were many available tables at the restaurant we ended up in. Maybe people are funneled to the buffet? That's fine for breakfast and maybe lunch, but I want to sit down and order with a waiter for supper. That said, the food was surprisingly good and we enjoyed all of our meals. We would have been pleased to see some simple grilled options instead of so many fried and heavily sauced options or swimming in oil. Our room was a good one along the end of the lagoon pool on the ground floor. Wood floors throughout and a jacuzzi tub. Housekeeping came by with an ergonomic pillow that I requested from their pillow menu and let me tell you those things are sweet! Slept like a baby. Mini bar was restocked daily (unless it wasn't) and you could order room service too. All inclusive has its perks you see. We had a few lounge chairs that we could roll out and hang out on. Most days we headed to the beach and got some sun. The seating along the docks went quickly, so you'll want to get out there early for those. We were fine on the beach and loved it there. It's not everyday at the beach when you see an guy taking people for camel rides. On the negative side, they do not have irons for you to use due to fire hazards (what?). Wish I had known that before I packed linen. Housekeeping was spotty and missed a lot in our room and failed to do it once when we were out all day. Overall, it was a nice stay and service was great. Everyone we dealt with was very nice and they seemed to enjoy working here.

Wow wow wow!! What an incredible place this turned out to be, easily the best holiday I have had…read moreand possible ever will! Everything about this place was spot on. Normally I am not a fan of all inclusive holidays but every day the food was second to none and especially when you went to the separate restaurants, which specialised on a certain country in the world. The actual hotel rooms where perfect and there wasn't a bit of dirt or dust anywhere. The staff where brilliant and they dealt with problems in seconds! The private beach was brilliant as you had the best views with a private bar right next to it so didn't have to trek back to get one. I will definitely be going back to this place and looking forward to it.

Unfortunately the drinks especially juices are not good (soft drink machines) - too much use of syrups. Slides and pools are good and the lobby area is big. The slides could be longer open and the indoor pool a bit warmer. The SPA is especially useful during rainy, cloudy days. The beach is ok but not great (mix of sand and stones, unfortunately the hotels right and left from belek beach are not taking care of their beaches leading to a lot of rubbish/garbage laying around). The rooms differ a lot and often noise is disturbing (eg from AC machines). Service is in general very good.

Luxurious resort!!!…read more I am not a fan of "all-inclusive" resorts... but wow! This one is amazing! The best thing is that you do not feel you are in a massive building surrounded by many other massive "all-inclusive" hotels like in Cancun. Instead, the Gloria Gold Resort is huge, nice, quiet and beautiful, with its own beach. The service is excellent. Their goal is to make you to enjoy every minute you are in the resort. They have a theatre with movies, two discos, the beach several swimming pools, activities for kids, etc... All you want during a relaxing vacation. I really enjoyed my room: huge, with many extras, great (free) mini bar, etc. On the other hand, the food is so-so, but I guess this is true in all the buffets in the world. Perfect spot for vacation with kids, or for golf lovers! But even if you do not like golf, give it a chance and try: the golf courses are gorgeous.
