This is a fantastic hotel that I would recommend to anyone. The service is fabulous and the rooms are lovely. All the hotel is kept clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. All branded drinks, both soft and alcoholic. We hope to return next year as we feel we cannot get any better than this hotel. Brilliant!!!!

We have just returned from Cornelia Deluxe after a fabulous 2 week holiday. Stayed in a swim up room and it was fantastic - huge, clean, bright and brilliant pool to swim in. Our room was great and worth the upgrade the Garden Rooms were also large and bright and we'd have been happy in that but couldn't compete with sitting on the balcony with my feet in the water!
Staff were all great and friendly and only too happy to help us learn some Turkish - they respond well to any effort to talk local to them however I was amazed at how easily they chatted in English.
The pool area is lovely and extremely clean, with great slides and never any problems getting a sunbed at all times of the day. Big shady areas and plenty of other beds with umbrellas.
Loads of bars serving good quality drinks - branded if required. Kids club was great and staff lovely - horse riding and banana boat was a huge hit with our daughter.
A la carte we booked easily and loved each one of them. The buffet was plentiful and again we got a seat easily. Room service also fantastic.
Entertainment was varied but some great shows namely Beauty and the Beast and the Rapid Dance group worth a special mention.
The only complaint I have is the prices in the hotel for services not included like 135TL for hair braiding its 40TL in Belek of 300 for a massage 50 in Belek - there was some noise from the next hotel but as we weren't in the main hotel it didn't bother us and can't comment on how late it carried on for.
Go you'll love this place -we did the holiday was brilliant and we will return.

Myself, partner and young daughter had a fabulous 7 days and nights at this hotel in June 2006. We initially had a room in one of the bungalows toward the back of the property but as soon as we got there we asked if we could be upgraded to a room in the main hotel so that we could have a sea view, we were immediately accommodated with no hesitation.
The views were fantastic, we could see the sea and the freeform pools and all the action that was going on during the day and night.
The mini fridge was stocked everyday with fresh drinks and the linen and towels were changed everyday. We used the safe to put passports in and money and it was safe. Any other belongings were left in the room and were left untouched by any members of staff. The staff were always polite and curteous and couldn't do enough for you and they never complained.
The food was great even if a bit repetitive, but then that's what you expect with buffet style food - but it was always fresh and hot.
My daughter enjoyed the water slides and she even went parasailing with me even though she was only 4 years old.
The only gripe I had and it had nothing to do with the hotel were the amount of ignorant and arrogant Russians that were staying there.
They had a fantastic gala evening the last night we were there, champagne reception, alfresco dining by the pools with the most fabulous food with waitress service, great shows, one of the best fireworks displays I've ever seen and a disco afterwards.
Entertainment was great, by the way, the animation teams put on some great shows in the evenings and kept all the holiday makers occupied during the day with some great games by the pools.
Turkey is a great place to go - great people, great weather, what more can I say.
From one (plus partner and child) happy customers. Well worth the money.

We have just come back from wonderful holiday - the rooms are a nice size and are cleaned every day, the service from the staff in the bars and restaurants couldn't do enough for you they were excellent, the entertainment was very good we went to all the shows the animation team put on and enjoyed them all. We will certainly be going back again. This is the first time I have ever been on an All Inclusive holiday and I think I have spoilt myself as it will be hard to better this one. Thank you for a wonderful, carefree holiday.

Just got back from a great holiday and one of the best hotels we have visited in 30 years. It was first class, got upgraded to the junior suite with sunken jacuzzi and private pool and seperate restaurant for breakfast. The other 5 star restaurants were brilliant and the food excellent. Staff were very friendly and worked very hard the hotel was spotless at all times. Entertainment was great and was very varied over the two weeks we stayed, covered all age groups and tastes.
Have already recommended to friends and family.

Superb hotel, really 'all inclusive' for 24 hours!
Great service, staff couldn't do enough to help. As soon as your plate was empty it was whisked away and you're ready for the next plateful. Drinks were replenished on the same basis, great! Wide choice of food at the buffet restaurant and didn't feel that we needed to visit the a la carte restaurants.
Rooms were a good size and very clean. We had a garden room and it was only a two minute walk back from the main hotel, which made it nice and quiet. The walk was good for walking off a big buffet dinner. There is a gala dinner every other week and should not be missed, especially the baked alaska served by all the chefs!
Lovely pools, not cold with a separte slide pool - great fun. All poolside toilets and facilities were very clean and regularly cleaned. Plenty of sunbeds, no need to rush down to reserve your place. Especially at the beach where there were spare ones all day. We spent all week at the beach as it was cooler and we were protected from the sun by good canopies and a refreshing breeze.
This is by far the best 'all inclusive' hotel we've stayed in and would recommend it to anyone.

Just arrived back from Cornelia, had a lovely time, lovely weather, lovely but very big hotel, overall a great holiday.
Staff are all very friendly, some had a bit of difficult speaking english but was always fun to help them!
Pools always kept very clean, there was a main pool where the entertainment was based and two other pools one with the slides and another one, which was nice to relax around, although because of children, most of time was spent round entertainment pool.
Animation team, were not the livliest of characters, but did work very hard on shows, which were always very good every evening!
There was the main restuaraunt as well as 4 a la carte which you had to book the night before but could eat there as much as you like. Defiantly book the chinese, was fabulous!!
Would defiantly go back to cornelia no doubt about it, my only complaint would be not enough english but this maybe be because we went early in the year, the day we were leaving a lot more english voices we heard around the pool!
Cant go wrong booking this hotel, everything was how it was described!

Just got back from what I can only describe as the best holiday I have ever had.
The standard of the hotel stands up to it's 5 stars.The food is excellent,with plenty of choice for everyone.
My husband and son(John) also had the time of their lives,our upgraded pool side villa was just the best.
The beach area has some very well shaded areas,great for those who don't want to burn.
My son enjoyed the attention from the great guys running the free scuba diving lessons.
The staff of the hotel couldn't of been nicer from the cleaners to the receptionists.
Can't wait to go back !

This hotel is superb. It has landscaped gardens, ample pool area, grassed and private beach bathing spots. The executive room we stayed in was top class, spacious and have a built in jacuzzi. It had an enormous around 7ft wide bed!!!
The room was spacious and kept cleaned daily. The hotel has an excellent chinese and Italian restaurants with an al la Carte and Turkish ones to. The serivce was very good and the main bar around the pools provided good food. Waiters were polite and extremely prompt.
The entertainment team put on some great evening shows that occur in the open. The water in the pools is very cold this time of year. If your a golfer their are numerous to choose from. We played the Nick Faldo course, hired clubs and a Golf cart the overal cost around 135 euro's.
The overall feel around the hotel is one of opulence. The turkisk baths are apparently expensive but very well worth it. There are some shops but I suggest you wait and visit the local town. There is a market on Saturday that splits between food and clothing. Buy your food there and barter.
There is no copyright rules in Turkey so enjoy, the quality is still high and they do specialise in handbags, leather casual tops shorts and jeans.
Whilst taxis are rife there is a cheaper way to and from the town, this comprises a tractor pulling carriages. Its better as you enjoy a better view and feel the evening breeze. It costs 1 euro per person, taxis were 6 euro's.
All in all this was one of the best hotel complex's I have ever been to so I have no hesitation in recommending it.
